Yeah, how would you play any games?!
Xbox kinect
But you might be banned from online games because your trying to cheat using three legs...
Some of us enjoys work. π
when mind not think its off time
then don't take a day off?
Sometimes it is forced upon us, like weekends or too much saved uo vacation days.
mate
I think you have an obsession
I'm getting paid for 38 hours a week, not doing any more lmao
Yes, yes I do. I'm in deep, and I love it! π
have you been doing this work for long?
Been a system developer in c# and java for about 16 years. Did some Ruby and PHP for 5 years before that. Been programming for 35 years or so on my free time.
Game programming has only been a hobby, but we did a small VR game in Unity at work to use at trade shows a few years ago.
damn, still being obsessed after so long
impressive
I like programming, but not to an extent I would sacrifice my free time for it
especially not to work on projects that are not mine π
But your free time is the best time to fool around with stuff and do some actual learning! π
yes, but not on work project lol
work projects are where the interesting problems occur
ok, but those I can tackle during work hours
Frustrating*
you distinguish between the two?
Interesting may be frustrating, but frustrating doesn't mean interesting.
Definitely a venn diagram type situation.
the only real distinction I make is between interesting and tedious
something not working right? interesting
not sure how to do a thing? interesting
have to spend a week verifying everything from start to end to find a tiny problem? tedious
tedious is the price one pays to work on interesting
Code inspection not working property -> frustrating
user changes their mind every 14 seconds -> frustrating
customer
Bugs in the engine? Frustrating!
Was in the middle of today's livestream when someone outside my apartment got out of their car and opened fire nine times then drove off.
No one seems to have gotten hurt thankfully. Just another day in America.
at least everyone's alright, stream ending concerned me a bit
classic america π
Like at them?
I have a gun and an ammo making kit.. but the gun is disabled
its a really expensive old gun from my great gramps
The correct term is differently abled!
lacking in the ability to be used correctly
PC not talking about player controller
well thats kinda true... when i went too the gun guy that does stuff like that re refused to poor lead down the barrel
so he welded a pin in it instead or something
would have kept it intact but dont have a hunting licence
does it get disability benefits?
no it just stands in a corner
have you tried burning it yet?
i dont burn everything π
its got a bit of a story... i believe it belonged to some german lord or sumthing at one point
some1 with a lot of money.. thats for sure
my great grmp traded his modern gun for this thing so it was allready old back then
double barrel with 2 triggers.. i have no idea if thats common tho
also ive seen lock stock and 2 smoking barrels
looks a bit like this1
at some point i should prolly get it appraised
This is pretty cool (columnar multi-source search engine)
https://swurl.com/
ooh, nice - front loading?
black powder
nah shells
she sells sea shells by the sea shore
my dad has one of those old guns
filled with lead though
did you ever get your bike back though?
actually the bike i got from my gramps was stolen... but prolly some dutch junkie
there're dutch people that aren't junkies?
guess we are all heavily into something
did you burn the piano because you were high?
no cuz it was broken π
Solstafir's music videos (IE Iceland) slap TBF
but is that cgi?
Nah haha
rip
I got some new yellow, teal and purple filament coming in boys, what should I ram through my 3d printer
except for grape
At least, I heavily doubt it's CGI

You can see the key mechanism turning into charcoal in that snippet, it's sick
hmm, mayB something that goes over ur mouse but exactly fits ur hand?
all my mice are a tad on the small side
i do have big hands
it's a vertical one
you know what they say about people with big hands...
they need big gloves
Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer or whatever it was called, was the gold standard for CS in the olden days
Get chonked (usb for scale)
you could print 3d letters on paper
but why
I remember 3D printing the opposite of letters for a mouse actually
I made a print already that shows my name and if you tilt it 45 degrees it shows my gf's name
I inscribed skog into the 'nameplate' template STL file for a SteelSeries mouse
you could print a piano
on it
You wouldn't download a guitar?!
I've actually seen printed violins and guitars
Strings are easy to tune, if the dimensions are OK-ish. At least I can vouch for guitar. Piano... Fucking yikes
you could print a stint
Nah I'm too skint
wtf is a stint
stint is a dutch thing to transport ur kids or something
a lot of kids died in it
Stint is de merknaam voor een elektrisch aangedreven voertuig van het bedrijf Stint Urban Mobility dat is ontworpen voor het vervoer van kinderen. Er zijn ook modellen voor andere doeleinden, bijvoorbeeld pakketbezorging. Door hun geringe afmeting en gewicht kunnen Stints op plaatsen komen die met een auto lastig bereikbaar zijn.
Een geheel vern...
Electric scooters got limited to 13km/h on footpaths here lol, I (and most reasonable in-shape people) can easily sprint way faster. WTF
Yeah 25 on the road, 13 on footpaths/ bike paths here π€
well we got bike paths everywhere
Scary shit was in Zurich you have to ride them on normal roads, a policeman told me that and I was terrified initially haha
but sprinting takes effort
just drive on the road then?
here if a car hits a bike its basically allways at fault
I thought that was everywhere
USA has bikes?
yeah, it's kinda a big thing here
That's what people do, but you're meant to take bike paths if they are available too, but the legislation is in flux
lol NY city delivery guys
and crackheads
thats some crazy shit
I've seen something that bike delivery guys are a real danger in australia as well
Well everything in australia is dangerous
I almost cleared one out because I was going through a green light and didn't check the turning lanes. They just are aggressive on foopaths, use roads while not following traffic lights and all of that.
People in cars get pissed at them and I've seen one swerved off by some raging dude in a pickup (ute). Australia isfun
wtf is (ute)
Unforgiving Truck Enemy
It's like a sedan/SUV front - 1 or 2 rows of seats, and then the back is a giant tray
pic for reference?
like a pick up truck?
Note the title, even Merc calls it that
Okay Yankie π
USAian*
That's just a rebadged Nissan anyway
That exactly what I was thinking
I saw the uber thing from this btw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXHSob-TdGI
The one I typically think of is this though -
wtf
That's basically an el camino
It was within the period when Holdens were Aussie still, but now they are some GM/Chevy or something imports
where the fuck does ute come from
utility, I believe
How much horsepower does one of those things have
And do people put huge wheels on them and lift the frame?
Holden is a normal old V6. HSV (performance division) is where it gets a bit much, and usually a good sign of someone that drives with a roid rage
no
It's for tradies to lug their tools in usually. Or dogs.
anyone driving a pick-up truck in a non-professional capacity has issues
lol π¦
ute*
Everyone here drives SUVs, imagine being hit by something where the bumper reaches your rib cage. Fuck off
but also, there are valid reasons to drive one. For instance when you live in america and are tired of sitting in traffic on the expressway
then you sit in your truck bed?
Just drive onto the service drive and take the cops on a highspeed chase.
can't you do that with a normal car too?
For an HSV (V8 6.2L):
Power 325kW @ 6000rpm
Torque 550Nm @ 4600rpm
seems illegal in any case though
Oh and I saw an American crime against humanity, the Chevy Silverado
What the FUCK is that thing. I'd have to fucking jump into it to even hope to get in
americans are weird with their cars
The video above shows the red pickup truck getting caught in the twister as it crossed the road on Monday, March 22, 2022. Credit: Brian Emfinger / LSM
Oh FFS it's brought in and tuned by HSV too https://www.hsv.com.au/see/silverado2500/
seems like the main purpose of american cars is compensate for penis size
It's for "offroading" and by off roading I mean driving through craters potholes
Jesus fuck, the bumper reaches like ~140cm or so. That's head height for short people, and kids would be absolutely splattered by that thing. WHY
why not
Because I live inner city and fear for my life every time I have to cross the road π
That's why you need to buy your own gigantic truck
So you can feel safe again
That's probably half the marketing for those things
:P
I hit a pothole like that one time in a car and my wheel came off in it's entirety
people buying giant trucks to feel safe are probably causing the most accidents
They are, but it's not because of the truck, it's because of how much alcohol they consumed before getting behind the wheel of said truck.
Not if you see how tradies drive around here in their death mobiles π
wtf are tradies
Permanent road rage, a pie or an ice coffee occupying one hand, speed limit is merely a suggestion, and overtaking lanes include the oncoming lane. The tradie life
Okay so basically texas
Here they just drive in vans like any reasonable person would. More space, more secure, probably more aerodynamic :P
Tradie is catch all, sparky is an electrician, brickie is a carpenter or whatever it's called, etc
australians are truly fascinating
and it's much easier to kidnap people do jobs
you've never been in the rural rockies, have you?
I wouldn't do Steve, but maybe Eve
I had to make super conscious effort in Europe to not use Australian slang, and I didn't realise just how much slang I used haha
I can't lie, I'm probably gonna steal a few of these words for my own personal use.
Rockhampton? Yeah nah fuck that hole aye π€
wait, a carpenter works with wood right, why is it brickie
That was very USAian truck driver of you.
because Carpie sound crazy
Yeah sorry, brickie is bricklayer, chippie is... fucking something
woodchipper?
the rocky mountains, spanning from canada to almost mexico
Finna call the sparky up and get some wires run through the house
Yeah that has a nice ring to it
a woodchipper is a chippy but that's where you buy your fish and chips from
Yeah nah, haven't been to NA
Is a plumber called a plummy?
trust me, a tall truck can be a necessity
hahahahaha
dunny diver
yes, I too buy a giant truck for the 1 time in my life I need to pass through extreme nature
We don't really call them that here, just fish and chips places. IDK what the slang is, there would definitely be something
hauling stuff around a farm or ranch, loading up your cattle that are grazing in the mountains, or even just getting to or from work
oh I didn't even know aussies had those lol
I know brits call them chippies
I live out there
Fair, but I live about 30 km away from the nearest farm, my neighbours don't need obnoxious trucks to drive to the servo and back for ciggies
many people who own them are city dwellers who never go offroad
A couple of weeks ago a guy was on a high speed chase with the police in a stolen silverado, he crashed it into a tree and survived. So does that count as professional use.
but then how will you inform potential mates that you have a micropenis though
He was probably a professional car thief if that helps
Oh yeah, fish and chips is huge here, as well as other traditional British foods like... schintties π
the road I live on would scrape the skid plate of my jeep if I went faster than a crawl, and it's worse in winter during storms when the snow can be a foot deep with ice under it
I thought Australians never left their prison island π
They are said to be offering a Morbius Meal for a limited time.

No no, if you assimilate you are good to leave. Usually to Bali for whatever reason. It's the boat people that get sent to prison island now. Appropriately called uh, Christmas Island
Australian criminals are pretty cutthroat from what I saw in some documentaries.
So it makes sense to put them on an island
Like bikies? Australia is pretty safe TBH
Them and the drug smuggler guys.
Christmas Island is for people attempting to get in as a refugee or whatever
Australia is one of the safest countries in the world haha, far cry from its origin story
What actually goes on in the outback?
so safe cause all criminals get murdered by snakes and spiders
Is it just a huge desert? or like is there some wild stuff going on?
dont' forget the scorpions
Literally fuck all, it's dry as a nun's (...)
Pretty much, there's a few odd settlements but it's basically shoreline cities, one big rock and a city in the middle, and nothing else
Nice
So syphon filter lied to me then, there's no huge government conspiracy
He must have mixed Australia up with Bielefeld, easy mistake to make TBH
Or Finland. Never trust those guys
Do people go camping in the outback?
https://imgur.com/gallery/PlMmO29 the president of finland is such a chad
no hahaha why would you, you'd go to the bush maybe, but the outback can be hundreds of ks of desert road with no servos and the likes, extremely hot and dry
To be fair that's large what america's like, you have lots of cities near the water then there really isn't anything worth talking about between the two mountain ranges.
TIL outback != the bush
well tbh, he has time, it's not like he's the prime minister
Apparently we named it after the Dutch word bosch π€
Yeah, second might be Afrikaans' version
or maybe very old dutch
Here i thought bos meant Brothers Of the Struggle.
The Australian and New Zealand usage of the word "bush" for βforestβ or scrubland, probably comes from the Dutch word "bos/bosch" ("forest"), used by early Dutch settlers in South Africa,
this is really a productive morning for me
really unproductive day for me at all
jump in the ute and pull down on some dunny divers and try to make a couple of dollarydoos
bucks/buckaroos/dollarydoos
I'm really just avoiding figuring out how to do this UI stuff
are you sure this is australian or are people just fucking with you cause you're an immigrant?
People don't know I'm an immigrant until I tell them TBF, so unfortunately this is just Aussies being themselves
depends on how much they're trying to convince him about drop bears
are drop bears something like hava?
The drop bear (sometimes dropbear) is a hoax in contemporary Australian folklore featuring a predatory, carnivorous version of the koala. This imaginary animal is commonly spoken about in tall tales designed to scare tourists. While koalas are typically docile herbivores (and are not bears), drop bears are described as unusually large and viciou...
Individual notes also have their nicknames, but I don't know them because I have never handled cash. Just remember checking someone out and they asked for pineapples in change, I was extremely confused
Do dingos really steal babies?
hoax
π€
so not like hava at all
Aussies have some great slang
I have no idea what a hava is, and neither does wikipedia
There have been similar incidents yes, but it's far from a common occurrence
I was expecting a no
M8 someone in the dog park brought in a fucking dingo like it was a normal pet once. Didn't go well
Is it true that people try to fight kangaroos?
lol I saw something about a woman taking a coyote in house cause she thought it was a puppy
If you have no self-preservation instinct sure. I once ran from them in a car and was scared for my life
I disagree. The two coasts can go ahead and sink and leave the rural heartland alone please.
Small ones are skittish and kinda cute, the big ones... Yikes
this guy slaps your girl's ass, wyd
gun violence
^I used this image when streaming once and I was making a joke about being in australia
I also had a picture of famous australian ozzy osbourne
rip GDP
The death trap is the bottom legs, they have giant claws that would puncture your guts, and they absolutely do kick as a fight move
we're saying the same thing
punch him in the throat?
ummmmmmmm
typical american country response
ok but serious question
do you have truck nuts on your pickup truck
I do not
π
I should get truck nuts for my car but I don't have a towing hook
don't need to add any, mine came with balls from the factory
Do kangaroos operate in a gang-like fashion?
Is the outback basically GTA San Andreas, but for kangaroos?
you got the crip and the blood kangaroos
That's what I thought
How to spot a bogan through stickers:
gangaroos
okay new question. What's a bogan
I thought the kangaroos were the defenders of the cities against dropbear invaders
is bogan like hulk hogan
Bulk Bogan
Sort of, they do tend to roam in small groups TBH, and usually disappear during broad daylight π€
I guess it's the australian equivalent of the brittisch chav
Like a redneck but Aussie
Kangaroos gang-related confirmed
luckily maga hats can be reused for make australia great again
gangaroos sounds better anyway
This is more-so for the smaller ones (Joeys), the big ones IDK, not too many in more civilised parts
AAAAH pls no
We had a twat politician that was riffing on that
was he suspiciously orange?
Gangaroos, gangies for short
He looks like he sells fridges at a store that's perpetually running 50% off
damn, not even again π austarlia always sucked up to now I guess
so that's a yes
I like the implication that Australia fucking sucks though, great platform to sell your party on
He spent a ton on marketing and absolutely bombed. Who'd have known, we aren't the US (for now)
why is his shirt so see-through
It's the sweat
His body is grossly incandescent maybe π€
probably just came back from some nice hot and relaxing camping in the outback
fighting gangaroos with no shirt on
Ha no he's a billionaire, probably just got back from a weekend in Bali or something
he look like he stinks
Okay for a positive though, every country should do democracy sausages
democracy what?
It's not exactly meant to motivate you to vote, that part is compulsory, but when you're in line at voting places, most bigger ones will be making snags (bread, sausage, onion, sauce)
Nah flights are cheap, lots of booze and party places, and the 50YO men can find themselves an uh, subservient wife to import
guess I'm going to bali next week
Partying in Australia is regulated as fuck, like no shots past midnight, things like that. It's exxy as as well. Bali is a partying paradise in comparison
please say sike
bro, what is exxy
Expensive π
you need to chat with a dictionary open next to you
I did see something about the cops raiding bars for being open past some time period
I tried partying in Amsterdam but crashed at 4AM, barely anyone was leaving at that point. I was shook as
is that really what they call it? A'Dam?
I mean it was techno. Or tekno, I got confused. Drugs are basically assumed
A'Dam is just a hip name, I don't think anyone actually uses it though
idk
I'm not dutch
@carmine frigate explain
fun fact techno was invented in the basement of a Detroit home
fun fact 2 I live a few blocks from Eminem's old house
also, Luos (the mod) made a song called A'dam https://soundcloud.com/as_yoesual/adam
Went to a hard-techno rave at a local club.
It's fun to listen to music/tracks outside my usual comfort zone.
Inspired I decided to make something outside of said comfort zone.
Let's make it a thing and turn into youtube content creators or something
lol
dollarydoo's for everyone
now we get the luos activity
when all the shameless self promotion starts
so do people actually call amsterdam A'Dam?
I know there's a tower
we sometimes write it like that
R'Dam for rotterdam
What about "The A Deezy"?
M'dam for maasdam?
G'Dam for gadverdam
lol
If we just say these things matter of the factly people will think they're not hip. I'm seeing dollar signs people.
Guys I have a feeling Luos likes Amsterdam, based on that track's lyrics
Luos be out in the A Deezy getting down? I can dig it
This is a pretty cool title
lol
well he does live pretty closee to it afaik
wait no
that's rotterdam
Aren't they like half an hour by train?
what does the "dam" part mean
yea rotterdam, think its about 45 min away from amsterdam
like a dam holding back water
interesting
if it weren't for human, the whole of the netherlands would probably be water by now lol
NL == Swamp Germany after all
though I was at a rave, and I kept hearing "amsterdam" in the non-vocal music, and thought I could make a hardcore track actually having someone say amsterdam
Are raves the same way Hitman 3 presents them to be?
Haha I get that, you think you heard something and then for half an hour you keep hearing it again.
idk what hitman 3 does
is it flashing lights with people on drugs and music that only has bass
cause then it's accurate
That's exactly what it is
With a little bit of murder sprinkled in
And international crime ring
One thing I found super interesting was the tekno guy was playing with beats as a tone - he'd phase to speeds where the beats became a tone by themselves (17Hz roughly, IIRC), which is a super cool effect.
And there's always like 3 people absolutely zonked out in the back, that are just standing lifeless but seem to be enjoying it anyway
coming down from the drugs
everyone looking like they've been chewing on gum for the last 4 hours at a rave
nah mostly topless guys all dancing in the same rythm. XD I felt old af in there
I like the self-critical cataloguing haha
ok, but were you topless though
nein
and more importantly
Du hast?
did you have the chicken with you
most stuff is dead to me before I even finish it
poor chicken
no
so it was like a 90's documentary on X

The only good thing to come out of France
only funny to dutch people sorry
what about baguette though
Oh, except for The Algorithm maybe
sometimes you need some cat to jam for confidence
Anyone else at Unrealfest? If so wanna meet up?
shell is too crunchy, nyet
daft punk?
I heard if you let a baguette sit out for a week it will become a deadly weapon
I mean
that's just bread in general
except of course the american bread that is 90% sugar
God bless
Never got into them TBH, but lots of people like them
Bread cake
Actually brioche buns have been taking off here, absolutely hate it when I am not expecting a mouthful of sugar with a damn burger. Curse the French
not us I bet, but I do know some fellow slackers and devs who should be there
PS is Unrealfest Europe cancelled perpetually?
Yeah last was 2019 hey?
Or they cancelled the event after you went. Coincidence? π€·ββοΈ
What do you do now?
they know I don't work with it anymore so no use for unrealfest
just backend development
for some supply chain planning company
F...p?
what
Flexport?
Oh Man Pwned?
Yeah I was curious but didn't want to dox you haha
I think it stands for Operation Managment Partners
I use my name and face on here and you can click on my face to get my github, I think I doxx myself hard enough already
Stock photos on the front page are corpo as fuck haha, classic
they're remote workers
They look like the most stock photo group of people I've ever seen, it's remarkable.
like if you go to carreer page, there you see actual employees
Oh you guys use C++? Tidy
I do Python for backends, want to switch back to Go or move to C# but I'm being pigeon holed haha
python seems like an odd choice for backend imo
except for super small scale or prototyping maybe
It's pretty popular because of Django providing a lot ofstuff out of the box, like admin panels and the likes
yeah
popular doesn't mean good though
javascript is also popular π€’
clearly all frontends need to be rewritten to c++ wasm /s
I won't disagree, I got this job basically without effort after I got laid off and was happy enough with that time investment I guess, but next one I'll be pickier
Pre-layoff team lead worked here before, he referred me in and it was like 80% of the interview process ticked off already
Yeah that was a previous job, kinda miss it
First it was Go, then it was Gone!
Investment round got cut in half ~July, and I had trained up mostly on analytics, which was basically being axed almost entirely. They said I could justify staying on but I was like nah fair enough, I've got no commitments and I'd rather people with mortgages and stuff keep that stability
WFH, would violate "don't shit where you eat", almost. Or drink at least
You can have a mortgage one day soon, you know!
forced to work from home?
You know who else was forced to work from?
Office is 1000 km away in Sydney haha
ah
Khan Soupsouphanousinphone
But yeah I asked if it was Flexport because I saw they were hiring in that industry in Amsterdam, was tempted. Both Go and C# jobs
the job would have to be really interesting for that
Personal preference
I'm not Dutch π
I dislike going into office
I dislike having to get up in the morning
Loneliness is one thing, the extreme saminess is what drives me mad. It feels like grinding an MMO in some weird way
IK, but close enough hey
I like the option to work from home 100%, but still have the choice to go to the office if I want to
atm we can do 60% home
but I live in the street of my office lmao
Ideally I'd be like 80% WFH, nice blend of convenience and actual human connections
So you're basically WFH anywya!
Or he lives at his workplace π€
That would make him japanese
I am moving (hopefully soon) though
This is what happens when you pass up jobs to others who have mortgages!
Top left link is working well
we're looking at building a house, can't wait to be poor with the mortgage
Being poor is the only way to be, just ask the billionaires
GF wants to buy a house, I can't imagine anything worse
where is this?
careers, towards the bottom
why? you like moving?
or just the price?
I don't like Australia, want to move to Europe. Property as an investment does not align with my moral compass, and this city is a humid shithole, miss the snow
not sure who to tell the site is broken lol
ah yeah, then seems like a bad idea lmao
infrastructure
have you told your gf that you want to move though
But if you do dev they'll pass it back to you
should really talk about that lol
bro, some recruiter just randomly tried to call me
wtf
who does that
pls
leave me alone
Yeah she knows, which is why she brought up the investment aspect of it. We do have the Olympics coming up, but again IMO houses are to be lived in, not to hang on to and sell for a profit later.
Clearly he saw you really needed a job.
Random, but related. I had a fast food delivery guy ask me why I hadn't ordered from the shop for a few months.
Maybe investment as in, rent it out and have it as something to increase your assets.
I got so much recruiter spam within a week or two of joining, like bruh come on. If I did say I wanted to jump ship that'd be a massive red flag
I really don't appreciate people randomly calling me
That's if you plan on borrowing money from a bank at some point
if it's a number I don't know, I don't pick up
You must be a big spender
why not invest in a house where you actually want to live lol
The only way to be
When I delivered pizzas I had a few regulars that I'd get concerned for if they didn't order in a while TBH
Yeah, maybe if you're a regular, but I wasn't. I'd order from the place every couple of weeks - maybe.
Yeah that too, I can afford a mortgage maybe, but not two of them. Who knows what housing is like in the next country/city I move to. Probably shit
It's not like I ordered from them every other day or every week or whatever.
I could probably buy a small flat to rent out now if I wanted to
but then I wouldn't have the money for a house for myself lmao
The social cost of housing as an investment is not something I want to contribute to, same reason I declined a ~50% salary bump at a betting firm.
Use the income from the flat to buy the house!
I think that income would go to paying of the flat
for the foreseeable future
I will need a house sooner than I could pay of a mortgage
You can leverage current house as collateral right?
That's what your tenants are for.
But to be fair there's a lot of extra work that comes with renting something out, and lots of cost associated with it that it's not really something to do unless you plan on being a slumlord.
I'll buy a home for myself first
then we'll see
realistically speaking, I would only be able to afford a second home if my father died
thanks housing market
but then again, I don't need a second home
could just invest in stonks instead
You could always move to Detroit and buy one of these $1000 houses and just fix it up
no ty
I'm all aboard the stonk train. Down ~20% over a few years πͺ
miss the snow
Can't relate
It's actually a theme I see amongst europeans in general. They're buying up quite a bit of the west side.
snow is bae
The disconcerting silence of heavy snowfall is honestly magical
europeans buying up american houses?
like to live there
or to rent out
cause renting in another continent seems like a challenge
To rent out.
It is for a myraid of reasons, but most of them just buy the house, find reputable contractors to fix them up and then have a property management company do the rest of the work.
This was back when you could still buy a house for like $500 dollars (so 6 years ago)
The aesthetic of snow? Absolutely love it, best part of living in the woods of a valley. Actually having to deal with the snow (power outages, clearing driveways, waiting for roads to be cleared, driving in it, other people driving in it)? Hate it.
Here we just get Chinese people bulk-buying houses and leaving it empty except for the two weeks they holiday here. Investment away from the CCP in case things go south.
just normal snow, not a giant blizzard
That's happening here too, at least in my city, except they're buying buildings close to downtown and renting them.
By European standards I lived in a third world country, and we didn't have outages and the likes. Usually overnight trucks clearing the way when it snowed heaps as well
chinese housing is collapsing though
This is normal snow to my standards ;-; living in central Pennsylvania
Or another thing they do is buy plots of land for $100 and then sit on it and sell it back to the city for a profit when they want to build something.
Wait did you guys have issues with Chinese people exporting the fuck out of... baby formula too?
It was a whole thing with gangs and borderline murders, crazy stuff
The baby shortage formula thing here was because one of the companies that makes it had a bunch of bacteria in the silos or something.
gang related baby formula racket sounds like an awesome GTA mission
When I lived further in the woods (couple miles out of the nearest but small town), I was lucky if the roads were touched before I had to leave for work. Meaning if they snow was bad enough, I literally couldn't go anywhere π₯² my G6 isn't going anywhere if there's 4 inches of snow on the road
wait, it snows in australia?
From what I know some Chinese gangs poisoned some baby formula, then squashed protests or reforms against that activity, and people stopped buying domestic ones. I worked in the grocery store and there was one brand I wouldn't even unbox, just left the cart on the floor and one person would pop in, text a group, and within minutes there would be like 20 people grabbing their share. (There was a per-person limit of 2)
In some places, sometimes yeah. But practically no. I was talking about my life pre-kangaroos
oh okay my bad
this sounds crazy
I never expected to have to make ethical choices in a damn grocery store, but there was one parent who had a kid sensitive to some amino acid or something in most other ones, and only the exported, and one even rarer kind were safe for the kid. I used to hide them in the back for their weekly visit π
You assume they weren't lying!
That's true, but they never asked me to hold it, just would come in distressed and desperate to find a tub or two of the good stuff. It was usually out of stock till I voluntarily held it
They would have been better off just putting rice in the formula and calling it a day if they kid was spitting up a lot.
They could just be exporting it too of course, but 2 a week sounds like chump change, happy to take those odds
Man IDK, I was a uni student not a paediatrician.
TBF don't think they came in every week, but were happy to grab 2 when they did come in since it was so rare.
You could have been rich if you just joined the chinese gangs, how does that make you feel?
It was honestly bizarre how much drama that stupid baby formula caused, like customers would barge into each other to grab boxes, parents would complain to us about the damn Chinese, etc etc. Like mate, I'm just here to stock shelves and listen to music
I was definitely offered profit shares for supply or stock notifications haha
Like it's not funny, but it's funny "listen man I just work here"
"Ma'am this is a Woolies"
You telling me you've met smart babies?
the world is ran by babies

dutch guy.. talked to him a few times
apple. japple.
like if you had a bad cold.
like they must use it in some song or something right?
can they even make the sound?
and there's a game recruiting company called aardvark swift I know of
how
ready to print some shit boys
What app you are going to use?
wdym with app
sw app
Yeah, modelling
the things I'm designing myself are mostly functional so Fusion 360
great for parametric stuff
hmm.... so poops
among other things
so far I printed a cat, an octopus, a ghost, a robot, a dragon, a boat, a bookmark, a toy bulldozer, a toolholder for my printer, a fan muffler for the printer, another bookmark, a self watering plant, a fenix, some cool name effect and a headphone holder
huh, quite a few. What is that self watering plant? π
planter*
it's a pot that exists of 2 parts
the part with dirt and the plant, it has some holes on the bottom
and then a reservoir part
you put the one in the other
and the plant sucks the water from the reservoir when it needs it
and you refill through that part on the right straight in the reservoir
That kinda big object, how big that printer can go?
So are the roots of the plant extending down through the holes into the water..?
Print a functional pendulum clock.
Oh the dirts in the water? I thought you like, had the dirt sitting above the water and was greatly confused xD
Get printing then! π
it's like this
Ooooo that makes a lot more sense. Pretty cool that works
yeah works surprisingly well
dirt is constantly wet
it's gonna be weird to start printing stuff in non-grey lol
Print your own color coded piano keys
When I bought a 3d printer many years ago, it came with a 3d model of Shia LaBeouf's head.
did you print it?
I did not.

lol why
My included test print was a mini buddha
like that one
not my pic, but too lazy to go take a pic
That's come out a lot smoother than I remember my prints being!
yeah, it prints pretty nice by default my printer
hmm
kinda
it's hard though
you have to add a stop command in the generated code, take out the filament and put new one in and then continue
there are printers with dual extruders though if you're into that shit
of course if the print is multi part you can print both parts in a different color
Some printers have multiple filament heads too
this guy btw https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/a-t-rex-for-nz
yeah, I want a house
I would be VERY impressed if they could 3D print with concrete and NOT have any supports for the windows, doorways, and that roof overhang. π
that 3d printer must be massive
don't think that would be possible
Not with that attitude...
you can print without supports
with a normal printer
by moving the base plate around
but of course you can't really move the ground of earth
like this for example https://youtu.be/_r7DA78GrXg
Yeah that's massive in my book 
My little M3D printer have managed to print some stuff without supports. π
No moving baseplate.
It's always a gamble, but with the right speed and temperature settings it can be done.
And not long overhangs. A couple of CM is usually ok, but as I said it's a gamble.
so far unreal fest is pretty boring
For real?
i am hopeful about these two
I'm living it through twitter so I can't say lol

Crystal Dynamics use Ue5 on tombraider so nice
Spoder
Comic book character from Suske en Wiske
Kinda sus ngo
Ngl*
Not printed btw just so you know
Ahh gotcha. Ngl, I thought it was some 'meme variant' of Sasuke from Naruto since when I googled it that's mostly what I find (initially. See a lot of Suske en Wiske the further I scroll)
:question: Can I ask a question?
Don't ask to ask. Just ask!
Maybe the wrong channel to ask but does anyone have any recommendations for hiring managers/recruitment companies or places to hire skilled Unreal Engine talent? Ive looked at some dev websites but there really isn't many good Unreal Developers to choose from.
if anyone has some free time would they mind helping me out?
just with the basic stuff
I'm in unreal hangout rn
@proud jay you could print megascan stuff... altho it might not be covered by epic license π
Anyone ever get an urge to watch key & peele
never heared of it
yes
great comedians, can watch a lot of their clips on the comedy central channel on YouTube

THE SILENT HILL IS REALL!!!
Mfw when it's made by Bloober Team
Why is it that uploading a mp4 file here embeds it as a video but in another server it comes in as an upload? I can't find the setting
You might not have permission to post embeds there
Nobody does, in a blank server I can't find where the setting would be, and the server in question is fully boosted
open channel settings, permissions, advanced
on mobile
I disabled everything for reasons
I'm pleasantly surprised the Silent Hill announcement stream didn't suck.
The SH2 remake looks pretty good, and I'm excited to learn more about the new movie.
Also very curious about Silent Hill: f. I love the idea of a SH-style game taking place in Japan.
SH2 is made by Bloober
Indeed.
Now I'm worried about it
It will probably be fine.
It's likely going to resemble The Medium more than Layers of Fear.
Mfw after finding out SH2 is made by Unreal instead their own engine Fox
was expecting the stream going to be some of those NFT or pachinko bullshit like they did on MGS because it's Konami but damn
Yeah. Given Konamiβs reputation, it could have been a lot worse.
What's wrong with bloober
I am checking out the UE market and feel so tempted to buy all the orcs
I wrote an article about BP performance with some technical details but I'm not able to publish it, because github doesnt update the yaml file of github pages thing and someone else's name is written in the blog π₯²
I shouldnt have steal someone else's github page repo π₯²
can't you just edit the name?
I did, but i guess github takes too much time to reflect the changes
so far 21 minutes
hmm
sould be updated normally
have you force reloaded the page?
just to make sure your browser isn't just caching
yep
were you really here though
first sentence giving me flashbacks to that avoid tick tutorial with the guy not knowing about deltatime
pain
I feel like you'r emissing either an s at the end or a the in the sentence
and analyze actual problems of Blueprint system.
there are tons of typos all over the place 
literally unreadable
lol

yes I will

well there is no any other posts, so 
I find it an interesting creative choice to put a rectangular image with border inside of a circle

It's the reverse pizza design.
Fox has been decommisioned and after PES stopped using it
Also FYI, pachislots never catered to outside Japan
i fear for the day where you order a pizza and it comes with a flier going "So you liked these toppings, here's some other toppings you might like!"
ikr
Seems a solid advertising strategy.
"You like this pizza, this one is similar, give it a try, 20% off."
Almost guaranteed sale.
in my gf's case it'd be
"We see you liked this disgusting pizza, here are some other disgusting ones"
<_<
who in their right minds eats a "salami, banana, pineapple, and paprika pizza"
yea, its mainly the banana that makes it odd
My dad has weird sandwiches. Like marmite, apricot jam and banana. Something like that. Says it taste like curry.
lol
And, to be fair, he was not wrong.
How you discover this combination, though, just wtf.
well, my lunch generally is a ham, salami, cheddar, and mango chutney sambal sandwich so..
I was never a fan of mango chutney.
me neither, but when turned into sambal. hnnng
Apple chutney is the shit, though.
but compared to your dad's, mine feels mild
flyer completely sogged, half stuck in your pizza
sounds delicious
not in sweden apparently
"We see you like these toppings, try this flyer"
never seen a steak and cheese pizza on a menu tbh
I do like a good sausage.
they do, though I'll settle for peperoni if needed
but ive been a salami addict since I was a little kid
still, bbq bacon is the way to go
Salami has a lot of garlic, right?
jalapeno, salami, ansjovis, usually put those on
Anchovies are great.
i dont mind fresh anjovis, but the salted stuff Im not a big fan of
I must try anchovies and olives on a pizza sometime...
ahh yea olives.. green1s
now you just want to make me barf
go ahead, make more room for seafood pizza
actually i had one wil tiny squids once
pretty good
I want to like squid, because you know, everyone loves it in anime, so it must be possible for it to be good, but I've never had good squid.
Great. Now I want pizza
i basically put cayenne pepper on everything
kippekruiden on everything is the way to go
use sambal as a dip for chips π
Kippekruiden?
chicken
like poultry seasoning
90% salt
Ah.
he is just overpaying for the rest of the herbs in there
thats why he cant burn pianos
idk what kind of stuff you buy but it's cheap af lol
so how am I overpaying though
just cuz π
just read whats in there.. its sugar.. salt.. potatopower or something
idc tastes good
it's like people saying "don't you know what's in frikandellen"
who gives a shit
it's tasty
leave me alone
ow im not saying it aint good... im saying u can make 6 kilo of the stuff for about 2euro π
save up for a piano π
karbon hydrates or something?
it's salt, paprika, onion powder, coriander, black pepper, thyme, chilli power and basilicum
what % is salt? π
only like 67.2%
prolly heavy on the onion power aswell, that stuff is also hella cheap π
making a desk is cool
I could make my own bread
should print 1
I could keep my own chickens
