Michael Dukakis tanks his presidential campaign, 1988 (lemmy.world)

Michael Dukakis was a Democrat candidate running for President in 1988. He had previously been criticized as being soft on national defense, so in September of that year he orchestrated a photo op in an M1 Abrams tank meant to toughen up his image....

Tathas,

Strings (2004) movie. It’s a trope-ish fantasy movie, but all of the characters are marionettes. The strings go up to the heavens and are taken into consideration with things like architecture having no roofs, and gates are arches that rise up out of the ground to prevent travel beneath them. Someone gets injured by the string on their arm getting cut, and their arm flops around lifelessly afterwards.

Tathas,

My brother had a Tobii eye tracker for a couple years. I think it was the 3 model? It worked well enough. He gave it away cause he got a large ultrawide monitor that it couldn’t work right with.

He used it in a couple games that supported it that we were playing at the time (Division 2, Vermintide) and also used it when screen sharing doing training activities as it would display a small halo to show where he was looking.

Tathas,

No he didn’t really have to keep his head perfectly still and they’re supposed to work fine with glasses. Back when he had a very old 4-core machine, he’d get some lag when he turned on the halo effect, cause it did CPU post processing. But that stopped when he got a current machine.

He never really complained about it being finicky or anything.

Tathas,

An old boss of mine would find people who left their computer logged in and would send an email to the department from it saying “I love you all so much!”

I worked in a different office and didn’t realize that’s what was happening. I just thought the Russian guy was happy to be in America.

Tathas,

One day when I was visiting home office I ran into him in the elevator. My lead introduced me to him. I blurted out, “Oh the guy who sends the I love everyone!” emails.

He promptly started swearing and cursing our manager and saying what things he would do to him if he caught him in a dark alley and ranted for the duration of the elevator ride. Then shook my hand and said “Nice to meet you!” and went on with his day.
