Oh, I can see 3D alright. I'm one of the people who does a little "glasses on, glasses off" and "close one eye, then the other" test to check 3D quality.
It just don't improve a movie in my opinion.

Reply to Anyone else hate 3D movies? by sadlibra
I have never experienced a movie which was actually better in 3D. I don't know if it's the awkward glasses, or the expectation my brain has of 2D images on a 2D canvas, but these days I make a point to not watch the 3D version of a movie.
It's not that I don't like them, I just don't believe they improve the experience in any way.

Reply to Is Manhunter worth watching by DarthJaxxon
It's a good movie. I honestly don't understand why it didn't get more attention. Cox is great as Hannibal, even if he depicts the character with different gravitas.

Or, and please keep with me on this one: tell them you don't want to give them your number? A simple "no" should suffice.

Reply to LPT Request: how to deal with an emotionally draining friend I have to see on a daily basis by mercurysnowman
You have to be real, both with yourself, and with this friend. Check yourself for why is this person draining you. Check with your self if this relationship is even good for you. Share your findings with them in a honest but gentle manner.
Either this friend will realize something they never did, or the friendship will end. In any case, it is a win for you.

This. Simple, direct, respectful, unmistakable. I would only change "personal business" to "personal life".

You can download the movies you purchase on Apple's iTunes Store. The content is tied to your AppleID, though, so you can't simply move the file around and duplicating it doesn't work.
There's probably a way to remove the protections, but I never checked.
But, on that note, you might want to check Jeff Geerling's channel on YouTube. He posted a video last week about owning your media and he explains how he started ripping discs to have his movies in the computer - and even stream it, though only inside his own network.

Reply to How much time do you spend using your mechanical keyboard and what types of activities do you use it for? by JarJarAwakens
I have (so far) only two:
- My daily driver is a Keychron K2, which I use to work (from home) and on my personal computer as well
- I also have a Keychron K3 to lug around for when I need to be in the office or travel. I used to take my K2, but it added weight and bulk to my slim backpack so I purchased the low-profile for that.
So virtually 100% of my computer time is on a mech keeb.
I'm a software developer, so I'm typing a lot most of the time. The high profile K2 (which I use most often, about 95% of the time) helps me keep a better posture and prevents wrist injuries. I had a severe wrist injury a few years ago, when I worked directly on the laptop's keyboard without a mouse, it took me over a month to recover with physical therapy. I'm much more aware of my ergonomic arrangement and posture while working since then. Also in my setup:
- Sit-stand desk
- Two 28" monitors on a monitor arm, arranged horizontally, set up so the first third of the monitors from the top is aligned with my eyes
- Soft wrist rest
- Keyboard, wrist rest and mouse over a desk mat (currently a little to small, I will need a larger one)
In my pipeline to buy/build:
- Larger desk mat (accepting suggestions, nothing too flashy but I do like cool designs)
- Macro pad (looking to build my own but also looking at prebuilt ones)

Reply to How can we know details about animals that lived thousands of years ago if all we have are bones? by DemetrioGonz
We can create parallels between the bones we find and what we know of living animals today and make quite a few educated assumptions.
Besides that, it's not only bones. We have other tissues, we have traces left in fossilized rocks showing skin texture, footprints, fossilized excrements, fossilized flora, and other hints. It's never a complete picture, but it is a more complex picture than just bones.

Animal speeds and strength are insane sometimes.
Any domestic cat can run faster than the fastest human, for longer.
