Little Girl Serenades Herd Of Cows

The little girl plays her little Accordion to call a herd of cows.
You will be awestruck to see how this little girl calls these cows using just the power of music.
This is the power of music and this is why we love music.

question: anybody getting OBS to properly record high fps when recording UE5 editor? framerate is slower than my printer

#

while in UE4 its 60+ fps at 4k

It is fine on my AMD CPU but I had more issues with my Intel. No idea why (OBS recordings). UE5 though, not 4.

I can give you my settings in about 30 minutes when I get to my pc

deep glen
#

my settings are fine, anything else it records at near uncompressed 60 fps at 4k

#

only unreal 5 when editor is open

#

wondering if its a dx12 issue

Are you using gpu or cpu encoder

#

Try switching it up

<@&213101288538374145> I have an issue where I want to get in touch with a number of people who have openings in the #freelance-jobs and have stated that I should DM them, but whose DMs are closed. Can I tag them here?

Hmm nvm then

UE5 is also fooking up my pre-amp, resulting in 10-20 second audio delays when ue5 is open

What capture source are you using

tried both monitor and app

Why don't people open their DMs if they post jobs cry

deep glen
#

just one post with @ ing them all, and slapping them with a trout for being dummies XD

broken sigil
#

Lmao

zinc matrix
#

I think if there's at least 10 people without open DMs, maybe it's them or I should open my DMs and see if that's not a problem because of me.

#

Imma try that out briefly and leave all the crypto servers because that's where all the unsolicited DMs usually come from.

they don't do bidding

proud jay
#

they have a nice tennis field

#

I've visited it

zinc matrix
#

also tennis is nice I think

proud jay
#

and got a shitty book that I never opened

#

(it was with school)

#

I couldn't care less about tennis

zinc matrix
#

I was watching it for the women maybe but I do like the whole strategic part where you don't want to get exhausted first

#

which is like a major repeating theme in most individual sports

#

and team sports

#

and martial arts too!

proud jay
#

not sure if watching tennis to look at women is something you should mention in public

#

london is not india

#

women are actually respected there

#

most of the time

zinc matrix
#

not to the tennis aficionado for sure

zinc matrix
#

if it's one thing I have seen, nobody defaults to being respected, it's just something that's earned

proud jay
#

well don't hang around with chavs

#

or you know, try to be a decent person by yourself

zinc matrix
#

you will be shocked if you meet me IRL honestly, not much a Discord chat can do in my favour

median wraith
#

Because there is people that do that, isn't mean to be that way

zinc matrix
proud jay
#

what does this have to do with sex lol

median wraith
#

Welp I'm lost

proud jay
#

and that's just a depressing way to look at the world and can cause youself trouble

zinc matrix
#

Ah, by respect if you mean having courtesy, then that's a different thing

proud jay
#

you should default to the opposite

#

respect people until proven otherwise

#

and even then

zinc matrix
#

to be courteous doesn't mean you give respect to the other person, only that you don't want to punch them for annoying you honestly

proud jay
#

you are a strange human

zinc matrix
#

I come from the opposite camp.

median wraith
proud jay
#

for startes treating tennising women as humans and not a hunk of meat to gaze and drool over is a tiny sliver of respect

zinc matrix
#

I default to courtesy, openness, and good manners, but I don't yield respect unless it's earned.

proud jay
#

lol no

zinc matrix
#

Does watching tennis for women who are struggling physically while playing strategically necessitate treating them as objects?

#

I think you are not steelmanning my position here.

unreal ether
# zinc matrix I think I want $25/h

dont forget that just its because minimum wage doesnt mean it's good. That has to cover your living costs and everything. You also arent guaranteed to be working constant hours like with minimum wage. What happens if you only get 1 2 hour job for that week. Are you going to be able to live off of $50? Probably not in London.

proud jay
#

but also keep in mind that your pay should be based on what you bring to the table

unreal ether

na the breaks here for food etc are 30mins

proud jay

I can choose my own break but has to be a minimum of 15 minutes every 6 hours

median wraith

Yeah I do also, but is more random when you work from home and shit happen

unreal ether

this is my typical week rn

proud jay

A lot of those are the people that later in the profile bios have something like "the opposite of living is not taking risks"

proud jay
#

risks are nice

#

but so is comfort

median wraith
#

yeah the risk definition and any really depends of the person that makes the sentence

proud jay
#

we don't get anything for working overtime so why should I bother

#

not even holiday compensatino

#

not that I have too little vacation days lol

#

I get 30 every year

#

I struggle to use them all and just pay out the ones I can lol

#

working on it

broken sigil
proud jay
#

taking this friday off

#

yeah, if it was by the hour I'd probably do some extra 😄

#

for overtime you get taxed even more though here 🙃

#

belgium is like the opposite of a tax haven

median wraith
fleet tangle
proud jay
#

I've thought about going self employed

#

but then you have to find work

median wraith
#

And there is always an extra that can be done without get extra cost

proud jay
#

I'm just too comfortable where I'm at atm

median wraith
#

But from my exp the worst case is when you get a client that disrespect you as worker and as person, and not because the hours

broken sigil
fleet tangle
#

Lol

unborn lotus
median wraith
proud jay
#

but is there much difference with working for that company directly then

median wraith
#

Actually is illegal in my country

#

if you work only for one client etc

proud jay
#

strange

fleet tangle
#

Why would that be illegal?

median wraith
#

If you have only one client and you are self employee is considered fake contract

unborn lotus
cursive crypt
#

tax dodge

median wraith
#

Yep

fleet tangle
#

Ah. Well technically I'm self employed and work for a single company... I pay my taxes, though.

proud jay
#

well depends how much you charge I guess

median wraith
#

Yeah they basically do tax evasion as Laura said, plus they don't want/have to pay your health care etc

proud jay
#

in belgium there is a loop hole but you have to wait 3 years

fleet tangle
#

I think the only reason I'm "self employed" is because the company I work for isn't in the UK.

unborn lotus
#

It is used here to skirt the 48% tax for salary. Make a company, hire yourself at minimum wage, only pay like 10%.

proud jay
#

like if you're the founder of the company, any money that has been in the company for 3 years you can pay yourself at 15% tax

#

instead if the 40-50% of normal wage

median wraith
#

I mean you can be with a client only for 2 years lets say, but you had the company 4 and had other clients prior is fine

proud jay
#

and of course you can shove all kinds of expenses in your company

median wraith
#

Is HARD to have a client for more than 1 year usually with the changing state of this sector

unborn lotus
median wraith
#

Yeah that's true

proud jay
#

from freelancing companies that tried to recruit me they worked with 2 year contracts average I think

median wraith
#

damm

proud jay
#

depends what you do I guess

fleet tangle
#

I think that's basically all my company has...

unborn lotus
#

That is also illegal (sort of) here. You'll pay more if all you're doing is "consulting"

proud jay
#

like if we hired someone for what we work on, it would be useless to have them for less than 6 months probably

#

but then again, we don't really hire consultants

median wraith
#

Also a external contractors shouldn't be a normal worker, with the same hours etc

#

Usually companies mix the concept

proud jay
#

we do work with an outsourcing company, but those people are pretty much full employees

#

some of them been with us for 10 years

median wraith
#

Like yeah its fine to be at some meetings or common ones, but damm

proud jay
#

I was thinking of working for a freelance agency first to see how it works and get some connections and more skills

#

but idk cause they take a cut

#

maybe waste of money lol

#

I'm just afraid I wouldn't find anyone to hire me lol

#

but then again, I have pretty much no view on the freelance market

#

true

#

but then the contract expires 😱

#

I need to look more into the tax details and benefits and tradeoffs tbh

#

but idk anyone personally that does it

median wraith
proud jay
#

that's the scary thing, I have a home loan coming up lol

package service never showed up to my house, then say I wasn't at the door, classic

then they say they'll deliver it to a nearby store

and now they say it is delayed and will be delivered tomorrow

they said packages could be delayed due to bad weather

#

but then don't say it's my fault and go deliver it somewhere else

deep glen
#

worst one was prolly when I ordered the bobblehead for alexander paschall (previous community guy for ue)
ship it to spain, but alex was away, so it got shipped back to the US.
I explained what happened, it got shipped to spain, but again, by that time, he had to be elsewhere.
went on a few times, also since it was a present, his gf/wife wanted to pick it up, but didnt have alex's credentials, so was denied.
blablabla

#

and in my case, either shits never delivered, or I get the wrong stuff.

Trying to find this game, it was an nvidia showcase one on unreal engine with these like alien bugs crawling around

nvidia bugs?

It was on UE4, was actually one of the earlier games but I think it might have died 😦

pearl elk

I saw that

why do people hate the star wars prequels

I like them more than the originals lol

I think they hate the post 6 episodes sequels?

No thats definitely not it, it was like microscopic aliens with heavy depth of field

Thats the one I always think it is but its not that

You would think so by the name but it was more alien, more like monster bug type aliens

Whats with YouTube search lately do I have to buy Red to get more than 10 results?

#

I only get recommended after the first few and theyre shoving shorts everywhere

#

I had a search earlier and it had 4 lists of the same shorts in different orders scattered in the results...

#

but yes Infinitesimals is not it, even though the name kinda suggests its what Im talking about. I think this is why its confusing because the project Im talking about was advertised along side that game as they started at a similar time earlier in UE4s development

clearly elon is limiting youtube api requests

He owes big money on the East Coast here for rent

he closed up Twitter so fast they had to pay to put stuff in storage for Twitter and now theyre suing

He owes rent worldwide from what I can tell, wasnt just San Fran

no one wants to hang out with the old people on FB

I'll make money on that and drop out of school

From what Ive heard Kick will be paying streamers with regular crowds pretty well just for being on the platform

proud jay

yeah

#

they get 95% split

#

while twitch is 50% base

pearl elk

They need to offset those profits I guess

proud jay

70% in best case

pearl elk
#

Im building my whole Twitch persona around boomer shooters

you should stream on facebook to shoot the boomers

wasnt the best pizza, heh?

otherwise you wouldn't forget it

Was fantastic, I just took a memory hit.

carmine frigate
#

I had lasagne today... it was a pre made one... i put it in the combi microwave on oven setting wich i hardly ever use

#

i put the plastic microwave thing over it and it melted

#

i have no idea where they sell a new1

hollow dawn

if you have memory problems just get one of these new home computers to store your thoughts

celest musk
carmine frigate
#

ahh cool,. gotta get 1

hollow dawn
#

fuck microwaves my last went up in bloody flames

#

like fire came out of it

carmine frigate
#

I usually use an airfryer now

hollow dawn
#

this kinda fire

celest musk
#

i also got a combo microwave which is supposed to even make pizza

#

but somehow it's not as good as from a real oven

carmine frigate
#

i had a microwave and it had lightenings coming out of it... I called it the mojo jojo machine... i kinda miss that thing

celest musk
#

it has circular heating like an air fryer tho, and a grill on the top, but still

carmine frigate
#

yea i dont like combi micro pizza either... the airfryer does a decent job on it tho

celest musk
#

it fits in the air fryer?

carmine frigate
#

well i have to cut it in half

#

i could fit it in, but than the air wont circulate

celest musk
#

i use the air fryer to heat up pizza slices from the day before, which works perfect

hollow dawn
#

just put it ontop your rtx card and turn unreal to cinematic

carmine frigate
#

i bet the pizza could go in one go if i fold it, but thats just not the same

hollow dawn
#

you could ge two of those safe microwaves and put them next to each other maybe

carmine frigate
#

could also get the smaller size pizza, picolinis are perfect for airfryer tho

hollow dawn
#

or simply get sausage rolls

#

you could prolly fit ten or so at once

carmine frigate
#

I used to make pizza from scratch, but now i usually get frozen and put extra stuff on it

celest musk
#

both works

celest musk
#

i watched this for 2 minutes until i noticed what is actually going on... 😄

fleet tangle
#

You didn't notice it was virtual?

celest musk

yesnt

i actually thought for a moment that the whole dashboard is rendered

No no.

celest musk

and i guess, that brain decision made it hard to to spot it

fleet tangle
#

He's a serious shut-in truck driver otaku.

celest musk
#

also i watched in fullscreen and portrait mode

#

so focus was always on a small portion of the video rather than the whole

#

so i pretty much never paid attention to the upper 25%

which is what mostly gives it away

idk

Nah, some stuff on Facebook requires you have an account. Groups, clips (I got sent those).

Public groups you can view without an account

# slow imp how is it so far?

My first impression: Very intriguing. I like Instagram's simple UI style, and seeing it applied to a Twitter-like app is actually really nice. It feels very fast and easy to use. So far the community is good, but it just launched yesterday so we will see how long that lasts. I joined because I am interested to see how it develops, and because I use Instagram to promote my music.

#

Unlikely I will create a personal account there. I really only use social media platforms to promote my projects.

broken sigil
cursive crypt

I opened Threads and was unable to see any kind of button, search or whatever. Only one link to a post I was able to open.

It feels odd though, am I bad for expecting more from the worlds leading social media company?
