Samuel L. ACKSYN posted:u got any cool recommendations for things i should print well i'm starting to go stir-crazy and i spent last night making a set of classic mac os icon fridge magnets:    they press-fit (depending on your printer's tolerances ofc) a 10mm x 2mm rare-earth magnet, or 3mm if you want extra power, except for clarus the dogcow which fits an 8mm one because there wasn't enough room for the larger magnet. if your slicer supports layer pauses, you can use that to make the black pixels by pausing at 3mm and switching filament, or if not then just print in white and color the top with a sharpie. you may want to turn on elephant foot compensation. here is the stl if you wanna do it. thingiverse is taking a big dump these days so they're on the first website i found when i googled "free file host." https://gofile.io/?c=Yrlxaq if you don't want to buy two sizes of magnets you can cut clarus out of the pack and scale her up by 1.248x but that's a pretty scrubly move because then the pixel weights won't all be the same. credit for the original art of course goes to the excellent susan kare

There's no question that it's healthier to be out and active while staying away from people than to just hole up entirely. For these total lockdown orders you can thank the morons who were told to stay away from crowds but immediately went to party on the beach or started packing the grocery stores.

SO DEMANDING posted:c-wfh-s: actually have work to do from home this week, but hoo-boy am i not feeling particularly motivated at the moment. if it's anything like california it will take about a week to stabilize i went to the grocery store 10 days ago and there was a line of cars out into the street waiting to park and everyone was running out with toilet paper and bottled water i went again 6 days ago and they were sold out of potatoes, onions, all dairy, toilet paper, water, canned foods, etc i went again yesterday and it was pretty much back to normal so i guess all the hoarders are stocked up.

i went out to move my car for the street cleaners this morning and was informed by my neighbor (from fifty feet away) that they aren't doing street cleaning or residential overtime parking tickets any more. i can park in front of my house forever! fuckin A i would absolutely have expected that giving parking tickets would be considered a 100% essential service and they'd be out in force but i guess we can have some nice things e: and motorcycle parking at the meters is now 10 cents an hour. gently caress yeah Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 21:40 on Mar 23, 2020 |

over the last several years i've become accustomed to the amount of personal interaction i get from being a professor and teaching several big studio classes every week. i already find the summer and winter breaks socially challenging, because i go from talking to about 100 different people a week to like 5, and the school is deserted and everyone i know with a normal job is still working 9-5 and all my coworkers are AWOL. i'm still working on papers and stuff but the social isolation is really hard. normally i get through it with hobbies: - riding motorcycle - flying airplane - making new things in the shops - taking random classes and going to meetups and, uh, WELP i have been doing a lot of cooking and playing the piano but the classes have been cancelled since the 9th and i'm beginning to go crazy

everything they show in that video is "reasonable exercise with [presumably] people you already live with," i.e. the one sort of outdoor activity the experts are saying is a-ok i get it, though. the cops are probably going stir-crazy looking for people to arrest. everyone's routine is disrupted.

my grocery store is pretty much back to full stock except for a few random things and all the toilet paper people are still loving buying all the toilet paper, aisle completely empty within minutes of restocking, and they're still having to keep a security guard in the aisle to enforce one package per customer did you know that the whole thing originally started because a japanese guy made a fearmongering facebook post saying "all japanese toilet paper comes from china, better buy yours now so you get one made before coronavirus" and that started a run on it in japan, which then spread to australia and then the rest of the world, and the japanese guy has been arrested for causing a panic but now it's just self-sustaining? objectively it's kind of a fascinating little social event

buying 144 rolls of toilet paper every time the store has any in stock, the activity under discussion, is not emergency prepping. as a matter of fact you don't even need toilet paper to live. strange but true. everyone should have a well stocked first aid kit, flashlights with spare batteries, methods of starting fires, and about a month (being frugal) of dried/canned/frozen food. your house probably has at least 2 weeks just by default if you do a normal amount of cooking and are not an incompetent facebook employee. you don't need to stockpile water because if the emergency seems imminent you just fill up your bathtub and that'll keep you going until a better system is set up. if you are really worried, maybe get a couple of 5-gallon jericans and put them in your shed. going beyond that is getting into doomsday idiocy.

an average bathtub filled to the brim is about 200 litres, so that's enough for a family of four to survive 2 weeks. if you want to live at the next level up in that chart, including sponge baths and doing dishes and stuff, you aren't storing that in gallon jugs. you'd be using 5 of those jugs per person per day. not reasonable. point stands

my favorite thing about arma (NOT!) back in the day playing with the goons was this stupid "extra realism" mod called ACE that added stuff like having to do a medicine minigame with epinephrine and morphine instead of just pressing heal, having to manually janitor the brightness of your night vision goggles, etc. it was stupid as poo poo and made the game less fun but all the worst spergs loved it and insisted on using it for every mission. anyway one of things it did was made the carrying and stamina "more realistic." what this meant was that if you put more than 50 pounds of stuff into your bag and attempted to run, your guy would collapse and pass out after like 100 yards i like to think that the developers based it on themselves

Penisface posted:hwo the gently caress reconfigures their radios during a deployment, that poo poo is done ahead of time when packing and prepping milspergs are really stupid about "simulating" their particular thing in the way that they think is "realistic," usually going with the most facile understanding of the situation, even when actual experts tell them otherwise. example: in flight sim games you can superimpose a little colored dot or circle over the enemy planes to make them easier to spot at a distance. all the REALISM servers have these labels turned off, because obviously you don't have labels in real life, and have to spot the plane with your naked eye! but turns out your eye has a shitload more resolution than 1920x1080, so it's like ten times easier to notice another aircraft in real life than in the simulation -- think about the last time you were flying on an airliner and noticed another one out the window. so having a little dot label on the bad guy is truer to the human experience and allows you to spot planes at a range comparable to real life. but the spergs won't have any of it because the surface interpretation is just NO LABEL IN REAL LIFE. another example: a number of ww2 fighters had a gravity-fed carburetor. this meant that if you pulled a negative-G maneuver (like nosing forwards into a steep dive) the engine would be starved of fuel and would chug after a second or two. the spitfire was especially famous for this behavior so it's been modeled in every game with a spitfire in it. well, when the new il-2 came out, the spergs hit the roof! the spitfire's negative-g behavior is totally wrong, it comes in way too early and too violently, i can barely fly any more and i've got more hours in spitfires than any ww2 pilot, EVERYONE knows about this phenomenon so how could they get it so wrong!!!??!? qq then it turned out that the developers had actually hired a real spitfire and pilot and had measured the exact behavior and modeled it more accurately than any other simulation ever.

one of the students in my "class" today was circulating a petition to have tuition and fees refunded. i kinda get it and kinda don't. on one hand i'm still teaching four days a week on zoom and doing my best to make sure the students hit their learning outcomes. the course structure has changed but the content hasn't, at least not massively. on the other hand, i know for a fact that some professors have essentially just given up and checked out, so if i had a couple of those classes hell yeah i'd be asking for my money back. idk. it's all a huge mess. also they've announced a hiring freeze on the new professors we literally just sent our offer letters to as well. mega loving lomarf and what a kick in the nuts. we can supposedly still get the positions back by petitioning the university president but i'm really not thrilled and according to the california government, we're still nearly a month away from the peak of this thing
