Thanks! My local theater advertised as "High Frame Rate", but when I sat down, it was plain old 24fps. I was seriously disappointed.
Don't expect the minimum wage teenager at the counter to know what's in the projection booth.
You could. Get some skills, maybe a few certifications. Apply for every possible job that looks remotely interesting.
It's your career- take charge of it. Nobody else will.
Important != Valuable
The cleaning crew is important. Long haul truckers are important. Neither are high paying jobs.
Every occupation thinks theirs is the most important, and deserving of higher pay. IT is no different.
Dude, don't feed the trolls.
Just move along. Nothing to see here.
I work at a power company. I will also attest that DST doesn't reduce power consumption. DST is based on the obsolete premise that the use of electrical power is lighting. That hasn't been true for decades- perhaps a century.
Dude, Ben was *trolling*. He did not propose or invent daylight savings.
Read his letter with your troll-detector hat on. It's actually quite funny.
I have mod points, but have to chime in.
In Michigan winters, when the temps drop to 0 F, the range is about half - based on a Volt owner I talked to.
Um, use them as designed? Why do you need all of those extra features for just a photo frame?
If you're still on the upgrade treadmill, give the old frames to someone who will use it.
I'd get some replacment eyeballs. I hate these bifocals. I miss being able to see things really close to my face.
While I was at it, I'd add near infared & near ultraviolet to my vision.
I'm voting for Obi Wan. He's our only hope!
Maybe consider half way between a house & RV. Better when in cold climates.
Keep it out of direct sunlight, and crack the windows. 4 hours isn't too bad at 140 F. It's the direct sunlight that you should fear.
But you're keeping things our of sight for teft protection, right?
It's not quite a GIU, but it was as close to one as you could get in text mode.
Used by Novell, Norton & others, as I recall.
I'm a mild case, so most people don't notice in day-to-day interactions. Your average Hollywood actress looks like a clone.
Every day I have a "Is that Bob?" moment walking past people I haven't met. I'm quite reserved in saying "hi" to people I'm not 90% sure I know. A lot of people think I'm a friendly stranger because I wave, then a few second later think "whoops, not who I thought that was" when their reaction doesn't match Bob's.I almost never greet by name- it's always generic "Hi there" type, to cover if my first guess is wrong.
Yes, it's purely visual. When watching a movie, my wife can spot actors and say "isn't he from movie yadda?". Especially with actresses that change hair color, they become a totally different person.
Now voices, those I get. Once an actor speaks, I can often peg where I've heard them before. When actors have heavy makeup, I can spot people before she can.
Smells? I try not to hang around people with any smell (good or bad) at all.
Posture, walking gate, height are things I do consciously use. Actually, I sometimes have a better shot at identifying people from behind, (i.e. walking ahead of me), because there's no face to cause confusion.
Glasses & beards are great for short term, but they change long term. For business meetings & groups, clothing is the way to go. Red shirt is Bob, white shirt is Fred. The next day I have to pick up again by voice and forget the clothing identifiers.
I can recognize faces, but it takes hard concentration- enough that I often have to tune out what people are saying. With a couple folks, if I put in the effort, I can learn the quirks in their faces. (Big nostrils, gap tooth, etc). For a group of 10 people - forget it. I won't even try. Smile & nod time.
As someone with mild associative prosopagnosia (google for Face Blindness), I *really* want this. Way too many people look alike to me, and I miss out on a lot for the first half of most conversations. I have to avoid names and only talk about general, common topics until I figure out who the heck I'm talking to. With a VR system, I might be able to follow the plot of more movies, too!
From a technology angle, contacts simple can't work for this application. You can't read text that's not directory in the center of your view.
