Seems a nearby city council has declared *all* businesses as "essential"

What's happening bros just taking care of my traditional three year checkup. Wild to think this account is going to turn a decade old soon. Nice to see people still use the site.

Putting the German Chancellor into office is less pompous and less ceremonial.

I'm too much of a pacifist to rampage. But oh boy I do feel I'm about to rampage.

@scribus Carb Coma makes me angry with myself. Also my stomach will do the rampaging.

this frame took five minutes to render and it ain’t even from a finished environment, that’s two hours a second, can you believe it? http://rainbowdash.net/url/875749

@mrmattimation Why aren't you overclocking to the point you need buckets of liquid nitrogen noob???
-
@scribus The crazy thing is I DO have what one would consider “professional” hardware for this sort of thing, AND I was accelerating the render with a ray tracing-capable graphics card. It’s the METHOD I used to get that painterly look that kinda screwed with things, I’m pretty sure what I did (which I did on accident) was not on the list of things the developers of the program intended designers to do.

@mrmattimation So long as you're not still overnighting Polaroids of the day's frame back to HQ I guess

It basically involves generating as noisy an image as possible so that the built-in denoiser will attempt to “correct” it in a certain way that it makes “mistakes” in color value and blending.

@mrmattimation Oh yeah, confusing the crap out of the algorithm is hardly ever really optimized, lol

I have questions for the kind of guy that's afraid that the government's gonna track them through a microchip injected into them via covid vaccine, but then brings their iPhone to an insurrection

@mrmattimation Well, if Apple tracks me, that isn't the govertnment! Of course, if Apple bans me, then that IS the government...

Burning your tongue on hot tea.
Thursday, 14-Jan-21 17:46:59 UTC from web-
@scribus Just happened to me. I poured steaming hot tea into my mug and didn't put a thought into waiting for it to cool down for a short while. But other to the actual case of that happening it's a great idea for using it as a metaphor for various things. Your interpretation fits it well. It can also applied to saying things that are potentially false or need more time to be sure they are not.

@adiwan It's always pizza and the roof of my mouth for me, but coffee does run a close second.
-
@scribus Pizza was also a problem for me. Thankfully I haven't burnt myself with pizza (and its cheese) for a long time. Those burns last for days. Whenever I make or buy pizza I am paying attention to the amount of fat and cheese it has, which are always the culprit. So in the case of making pizza myself I cover the pizza lightly with cheese that that there is not a thick layer that can keep the molten lava hot long after it's out of the oven. I like thin and crispy pizzas anyway. The more cheese and fat the soggier they are and the harder the slices are to handle and eat. I bake my pizzas such that the bread is stiff enough the pizza (slice) can hold up itself.

Michael Bay’s new movie is about a bizarro alternate universe where the US government is mishandling a pandemic, but I did the math and I’m 95% certain the virus would have died out by killing all of its hosts too fast to find new ones under the conditions portrayed in the film.

@mrmattimation Wait, really? Not that he'd botch the math, that I super-believe... But the whole-ass movie??
-
@scribus yeah, look up “Songbird” sometime. Written at the very beginning of the pandemic and filmed almost entirely by the cast with cell phones, it takes place in 2024 in a world where COVID mutated into a deadly super virus which kills 50% of the people it infects, anyone who gets it is automatically reported to the government via smartphone tracking, and they’re quarantined in a concentration camp until they either die or get better. I’m no virologist, but I’m pretty sure that under those conditions, the virus would have been dealt with a long time ago.
-
@mrmattimation I mean considering what a 3% mortality rate did to us, I must be inclined to agree, one way or another...

Watched this documentary on "deep time" and human history last night. It was all like, "Columbus set sail because 5 billion years ago a planetoid hit proto-Earth, causing the axial tilt which resulted in the weather patterns which led to spices growing in India. Meanwhile, the Portuguese got rich off of a dying star 7 billion years ago, which resulted in a silver deposit in modern-day Mexico..."

@scribus And then the Saudis got rich because a bunch of dinosaurs and old plants decided to rot below the earth and turn into a slimey liquid.

Also Chris Krebs accidentally said “erection” on national television instead of “election” and that’s inspired me to write a cartoon about “erection fraud”

One day I’ll have to answer for a few of the people I used to associate with and I can’t really think of anything better than “I had bad character judgement skills when I was 19”
Sunday, 10-Jan-21 01:44:52 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation I mean, I really don't see (especially after time has passed) why people can't accept "saw what they were, told them to split/split myself." The whole "Crap the uprising failed, uuhhhh Sowwy?" move is obviously weak, but I mean really! 19! NOBODY is good at 19!!
-
@scribus The one I’m really worried about does backend stuff now for a certain wildly popular (especially with teenage American girls????) animated web series and I don’t wanna be the dickhole who sets that team back again so I’ve been thinking about getting in touch with the current show runner to let him know what I know so that it doesn’t bite ALL of us in the ass at some point in the future.
