You think if he was shot the gun manufacturer would use that in their advertising?

Agreed. Little vodka, some tomato juice or clamato, olives, wustershire sauce, hot sauce… Now I want one.

Well, yeah- but what if they could sell the problem AND the solution?

Do I want my face in ads? No. Not at all.

Would I want this same tech used to character swap myself into movies, or just swap actors in whatever? …okay yeah that might be kinda fun novelty.

I’m dubious of the recycling claim. The partially cured resin is dissolved in some secret solvent. Usually when you dissolve something in a solvent, the intention isn’t to recover the dissolved resin. They didn’t really discuss the recovery process, leading me to think it’s theoretically possible, but nobody will practically do it.

Still, dissolveable supports with a single resin mix is pretty cool.

Ever played Soma, by any chance?

I have two working PS3s and one broken 360.

One of the PS3s is a launch unit. Impressive machine.

Is this some crazy advertising for some Spider-Man / Daredevil crossover movie?

I just have all my music on a drive on my stereo on shuffle. I just keep going until something sounds good and then go with that vibe.

I had an idea where if a cop tries to pull you over, you pick a number between 1 and 5 and if you get a good chase music song within those skips you have to attempt a getaway. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS, but it’s a funny idea. I could see it in a movie or game or show, though.

I’ve tried one that works surprisingly well. Each sentence had great pacing, cadence, and correct enunciation- even had tone right when someone was shouting or angry or sad.

I wouldn’t really recommend it, though. While I couldn’t pick any single thing out that was wrong, overall it just didn’t quite flow. It’s like watching someone try to act that is technically doing everything right, but it just isn’t good. It basically didn’t understand the greater context of the story and was saying lines.

It was uncanny valley, but exclusively with voice.

So the dog prints are 3-4 prints relatively closely spaced, then a 2-3 foot gap and then 3-4 prints slightly offset from the first set.

The Andromeda Galaxy.

Market self regulation assumes informed consumers that are smart enough to know what things mean. Also it assumes healthy competition and companies that are competing to make the best product at the chrapest price. It ALSO assumes brand lotalty isn’t a thing, and consumers are judging things purely objectively.

Like, i understand the idea, but in practice there are a ton of caveats.

I have no idea who most of those characters are- which gives me an idea.

What if I just made a bunch of AI generic anime characters and symbols and put those stickers on my car? The hardcore anime guys would be like, “Wait, what show is THAT from!? That looks awesome… What’s it from?” Just to passively drive a very specific type of person crazy trying to look it up.

I always do. Feels wrong not to. Just get in the habit of ALWAYS using them and it becomes a no-brainer. It’s just a good habit to have.

Good men don’t need any rules. Today is not the day to find out why I have so many.

It DOES have a higher fire fatality statistic than the Ford Pinto so…

In person socialization? Is that like VR chat?

I think it’s a legal issue, honestly. When printers first came out there was a fear that people would just print money and other illegal things, so printer firmware had to print out security identifiers on everything in yellow ink so it can be traceable. That’s also why yellow ink always goes out first, and why it complains about yellow ink when trying to only print black and white.

If that’s law, then it could be illegal to use firmware that does not have these features, and anyone making fimware that ‘just prints’ may be held liable.

Thus is all just an educated guess though, but seems plausible.
