Kind of. He measured against the stud and you can see a small gap. If he hooks the back of the drywall with the tape it'll likely land on the 1/2" mark pretty cleanly.

Take it. UrLanguage isn't a new concept. It's been around since at least Biblical times.

I kind of took it as an urLanguage. A basic or prototype language that we're supposed to be born understanding before we learn the language of our family/people/country.
It's also what people are supposed to be talking in when you hear of "speaking in tongues." But if it were a true urLanguage we'd understand what they're saying.

If I recall correctly, you also can't be over 6ft (183cm). Or at least that was the max in the '90s.

Or, maybe they use the engines to shake it loose so they can finish deploying it?

They're only half clones of you. And half clones of your counterpart. And you have no control over which half gets transferred.

I'm older than you and I'm not happy with how little potential life I have left. I already know I don't want to leave, and want as much life as I can get.

Reply to comment by shotsallover in ELI5: Why do older animated shows from the 80s/90s look darker in color than shows today? by kidwiththeglasses
Also, many shows were re-scanned from the original source files to prepare them for streaming. Particularly popular ones. Many shows were shot on actual film (especially animated ones, though "shot" is a term used loosely) which has much better color than what NTSC could display. So when they went back they took some effort to scan them "better" for modern TVs.

A lot of it depends on how they were stored. If they were stored on a high quality master or digitally odds are the original content had more colors than the old TVs could even show you.
Old NTSC TV had a relatively narrow range of colors (color space) it could support. When we switched to HD we got a much wider range of colors. 4K has an even wider one. Many old TVs shows were stored with a wider color space than old NTSC TVs could display, so when you saw them on your old NTSC TV, it "clipped" the colors to what the TV could show. Which could have lead to them looking washed out.
Many old TV shows have been remastered for the streaming age, and now that we have TVs that can show us all the colors the show was originally created with, we get to see them. Some shows have even had the colors "corrected" to make them look more realistic/vibrant on modern TVs.

Also, SSNs are not necessarily unique. If you were born in a state/region with a lot of births, it's possible the last four digits could roll over and start again. The SS office starts using letters of your name (the first two letters of your last name are the first ones. Not sure of the rest after that) to validate that the number is attached to the right person.

The last four weren't unique. They were numbered serially based on when you applied for your number. So, if you were born early in the year, you likely had a lower number, making it easier to figure out.

Blender runs OK on my M1 Max. It's roughly the equivalent of a GTX1080/1090 in a laptop form factor. You'd have to check out other benchmarks to see if it'll do what you want. But a current-get Nvidia GPU is gonna run circles around it.
