Rodeo,

This why you negotiate an equivalent hourly rate instead.

They’re paying for your time just as much as they’re paying for your skills.

Rodeo,

I’ll take my 32 hour weeks every week with no 50+ hour weeks ever, thank you very much.

Never had any problems making appointments either. You either had a shitty boss or you were letting yourself be pushed around.

Rodeo,

So I was about to correct you that Tylenol is actually acetaminophen; turns out paracetamol is just another name for the same chemical. TIL

Rodeo,

Making your comic about yourself is automatically lame.

Rodeo,

How far does that freedom to do what you please extend? Am I not actually free because I can’t beat up people I disagree with? Personally I feel the freedom to disagree without the threat of violence is more important.

There is freedom to, and there is freedom from. Don’t undervalue freedom from.

Rodeo,

Frugal only counts if you’re poor. Otherwise it’s just being cheap.

Rodeo,

Unless you’re doing any kind of precision manufacturing, then it’s decimal inch notation.

Rodeo,

Examples?

Rodeo,

from earlier army and student slang for venereal disease (“sexually transmitted disease”).

She didn’t want to bring home venereal disease and give it to her daughters?

Well, that’s good, I guess.

Rodeo,

It’s just a lame joke bruh

Rodeo,

I can’t stand watching film with anybody. I shush them as soon as they start talking, even if there’s no dialogue happening. I just can’t divide my focus like that. But even worse is when people pause the movie to explain things.

Rodeo,

It’s a little obtuse, don’t you think? Not exactly a subtle message it’s sending.

Rodeo,

Gotta love the anti meme lmao

Rodeo,

Middle class white people in America aren’t, but pretty much the entire rest of the world is.

Rodeo,

The quality of life worldwide has steadily been increasing since industrialization.

The quality of life of middle class white Americans has remained pretty much unchanged since the end of the second world war.

Im not going to get examples, but that’s what my point was.

Rodeo,

You’re talking about incomes, I was talking about quality of life.

You don’t need to convince me we’re underpaid. You would need to convince me that our quality of life is worse than our parents was, though.

Rodeo,

The powerful seal took their legs

Rodeo,

He’s too tall for Leia to reach to put the medal around his neck. So he just doesn’t get one.

Rodeo,

Some places have bylaws on maximum lawn height and you can actually be fined for letting it go. That’s how insane people are about lawns.

Rodeo,

We existed in a different millennium.

Rodeo,

That’s a really shitty year to be born and I bet your grandfather had an intense life.

Rodeo,

We already achieved photorealistic rendering a decade ago, and we can do it in real time now. Graphics aren’t going to get much better any more. This is why 1) a wider variety of art styles has become popular, and 2) people clamor about VR being the “next step”.

Rodeo,

No, we literally have photorealistic rendering. It might not look real at all times but the math is true to the real world physics. That’s literally what physically based rendering is.

The limitations in real time rendering are hardware limitations now, not software. But for regular applications, PBR literally simulates individual photons. It doesn’t have a ways to go. It is already true to life and physically accurate.

But of course, even the best tools in the world can be misused by a bad artist.

Rodeo,

Why only 21 inches? Soil temps aren’t stable until like 6 feet down, and then it’s closer to 12 C.

Rodeo,

If you go down deep enough the earth temperature is stable at 12 C. But I’m pretty sure that’s like thousands of feet down. Geothermal rigs drill 500+ meters (1600 feet) down. Having a hard time finding a source on the stable earth temp though.

I mentioned 6 feet because it’s well below the frost line where I am, but I guess in that part of Iran they probably don’t have to worry about that.

Mostly I was just wondering if you had found something on how deep those waterways were actually built.
