I’m all for eat the rich, but the question specifically was about global problems. It doesn’t really surprise me that people are less inclined to want to solve global problems if they see local problems that they think should be the priority. Maybe I’m giving people too much credit.
I don’t think it’s as black and white as that. There is a bit more info here: https://www.tuc.org.uk/news/tuc-disability-pay-gap-means-disabled-workers-effectively-stop-earning-today Which includes a breakdown by level and shows people with a disability earn less regardless of level in the organisation. Granted there still could be different jobs inside each level but if the average disabled person, regardless of level earns less than the average non-disabled person either we have systemic discrimination affecting which jobs disabled people can get or affecting their salaries once they get those jobs (or both)
Ive had an ender 3 pro for about 5 years. Setting it up was straight forward I just followed a YouTube video which had some tips to help make sure the frame was square.
Ive never used the included slicer. Only Cura which is pretty great.
It’s definitely not the fastest but it’s a great beginner 3d printer and there is no requirement to tinker with it. I just level the bed and print each time. No problems 5 years in. (I did have to replace the removable print bed top at one point but that was partly because I’d gouged it before I learned how to level it)
Yep. A lot of people seem willing to give up their rights for a bit of convenience.
A couple of years ago the previous government added restrictions to peaceful protest to say they couldn’t be too disruptive.
Early this year some numptys from the group Palestinian Action broke into a military base and threw paint over military aircraft. The current government classified Palestinian Action as a terrorist group in response to this. I think the general sentiment in the UK is it’s fucking stupid to break into a military base and damage equipment and it’s luckily they weren’t shot, however it definitely doesn’t meet the criteria for terrorism. The classification is currently being challenged in court.
Meanwhile people are still free to protest the genocide in Palestine but not free to support the group Palestinian Action and so people who are going to protests with signs that say Palestinian Action are getting arrested.
Hundreds of people have been arrested since for showing support for Palestinian Action specifically. And also 1 guy for supporting Plasticine Action (Stop motion animators against AI)
I’ve not come across one that isn’t straight forward to swap. Definitely look it up on YouTube or something though since there’s usually a trick to getting the fob open.
It’s friends only where you can join the game a friend is running. (Also splitscreen if you’re local). It’s super customisable by the person who sets the game up. Pretty much everything is adjustable.
I realise you’re probably joking but I’ve always found this to be temporary. If you’re cycling regularly and the saddle pain lasts longer than a few weeks you should probably try a different saddle (I do only cycle about 60km a week so maybe not true if you’re doing much longer distances)
It’s an action vs a state of being.
I made sure he died is making sure that the action of dying was completed. In that sense it sounds like you contributed to them dying. E.g. a mobster telling his boss he made sure someone died.
I made sure he was dead, is confirming their state of being as dead. E.g. a professional would ensure someone was dead before they’re cremated.
There is a lot of nuance in there though. E.g. a mobster might also make sure someone was dead after e.g. shooting them. (But again it’s checking their state of being rather than ensuring their act of dying was complete. I.e. finishing them off)
I don’t think I really understood docker until I watched this video which takes you through building up a docker-like container system from scratch. It’s very understandable and easy to follow if you have a basic understanding of Linux operating systems. I recommend it to anyone I know working with docker:

Others have covered the topic of modern renderers and their shortcuts but if you wanted an exact replica I think films like this are rendered on large HPC clusters.
Looking at the Top500 stats for HPCs the average top500 cluster in 1995 was 1.1TFlops, and today that seems to be around 23.4PFlops.
An increase of approximate 21,000 times.
So 800,000 hours from 1995 is about 37 hours on today’s average top500 cluster.
Edit: I found a few unconfirmed calculations that Toy Story was rendered on 294 CPUs in SPARCstation 20s with a combined power of only 8GFlops. This would mean a render time of 325,000 CPU hours, 1,100 wall clock hours. So, No. 500 of the top500 has the theoretical raw power to render toy story in about 15mins. You’d only need around 7Tflops to render it in it’s 75min runtime.
Still we’re talking multimillion dollar HPC clusters here, not your home rig if you want to render exactly the same thing in the same way.
If you could update the renderer to support modern GPU hardware then it seems like you would have enough power to achieve similar realtime rendering.
The cables are often not run in ducts they’re just tacked to the studwork in the house before the plasterboard goes up. This means any new cable is basically a fresh install.
