How to explain a basic biology principle to a millennial : [ image ]
It actually worked... **actual facepalm**

@scribus You said it, stereopticon... stereoptics... it certainly is how 3D works. Everything you said is correct.
But you still do not see in 3D. You see in stereoptics, or whatever fancy name you want to give it.Jonathan Chouinard likes this. -
@drinkingpony OK... When you pay extra to see Avatar or TRON Legacy with the fancy glasses in a theater, what is it called?
-
@scribus stereoscopy ? Whatever it is called, there is still a movie being projected onto a screen, the screen is flat. But when you look at that with them "3D glasses" the illusion of 3D was made.
So at that point it becomes more marketing friendly to say "3D movie" than to say "stereooptic movie that allows for the illusion that things are not just projected onto a screen but seemingly come out of it"
I mean. Did you think that that one Shrek ride at universal studio would have been nearly as famous if it advertised with "stereoptic movie that feels like things are crawling out of the screen but we are also going to splash some water in your face so people think they are really there" instead of 4D ?
Marketing terms man, they are the bane of my existance. 4K for instance, or UHD. What is that ? Is it 4096 x 2160 ? or 3996 X 2160 ? or 4096 x 1716 ? Or hell, is it what apple said it was and is it 4096 x 2304 ? Or just WQUXGA wrapped in a marketing term ?Jonathan Chouinard likes this.

@adiwan [> No sane person buys a Hololens for oneself. <]
HAH ! Knew it ! I know someone who owes me a party favour now...
Well I guess that solves all of my questions.Jonathan Chouinard likes this. -
@drinkingpony Haha. How comes? I only know someone I studied with and was super enthusiastic about the Hololens and bought it for himself for playing around (as in programming with it). I'd say he was a sane guy and quite intelligent so I think that was a purchase with more promise for the future. As for non-programmers it'd be definitely insane.

@adiwan Well he is a programmer alright, but also a minecraft nut.
I just checked and there is actually some dust on his Hololens, cus he has it on display in his bookcase.
Then again he also has various occulus things and pretty much spends his time with all out of the box thingies.Jonathan Chouinard likes this.

DuckTales Season 2 was quite enjoyable. The last few episodes were very crammed.

julian castro somehow managed to make himself look like an asshole by going after joe biden, that is an extraordinary achievement

@mrmattimation I watched the first 10 minutes of the "great future democratic president puppetshow d'extraordinaire" and pretty much fell asleep, after all it was midnight where I was when the candidates walked on stage.
Please tell me that Julian Castro going after Biden was one of the more interesting/memorable takeaways from that thing so I can just go watch a supercut somewhere or something.Jonathan Chouinard likes this.

@scribus There's a joke somewhere in one of these Swole Foods scripts where Bud (an atheist) can't tell the fundamental difference between something that Kat (a Christian) has said and an allegedly different thing that Mo (a Muslim) has said.

I’m not, like, gonna sit my daughter down and tell her that she got school off today because a building she never saw in a city she never lived in got blown up two decades before she was born.

@mrmattimation Pretty sure you could leave abridged versions like that and "Well, we won our independence from Great Britain by refusing to pay taxes and throw their tea into the sea" to unsavory types like Alex Jones.

Somebody emailed me a petition today make 9/11 into a federal holiday, and like, I’m all for another excuse to be making holiday overtime, but like, as of today you have this situation where you have legal adults who were not yet born when 9/11 happened. I don’t even remember it, I was 4 when it happened. A lot of us have kids of our own now, and it’s likely that they won’t even be taught about 9/11 in history classes like I was, except as a precursory event to a larger Middle East conflict that dominated Bush’s second term. If you lost loved ones or lived in New York or DC, or worked for the government at the time, then yeah. Mourn. Memorialize. Do whatever you gotta do. But everyone else moved on. It doesn’t need to be a federal holiday.

@mrmattimation The Day That Will Live In Infamy wasn't holidayized
-
@mrmattimation And here I was thinking that I kinda might be a stone cold bastard for saying that 9/11 is only of importance if you are American ( or knew someone close to you whom died that day )
But here you are, turning that dial to 11.
Do I even dare to guess on what American Federal Holiday you would the same logic of [> Do whatever you gotta do. But everyone else moved on <] on and axe ?Jonathan Chouinard likes this.
