I know my job is very important and I’m proud of my work. That said, I’m also burnt out.

An interesting thing about CAD is that the field got decimated in the switch to computers. You can choose to either go up the technical chain to be a great detailer or progress in CAD management since Autodesk and Bentley only do so much

There is a weird part of the human brain where there is a slight reset when entering a new room, probably to survey the new place for something that will kill you. It is the reason why people forget what they are doing when they go into another room.

In public, it is really annoying as there are people behind that person during their reset.

The best use for solar panels is in the summer time powering air conditioning and heat pump heating. Depending on the climate in NM, this might not be the best use time for it.

I could probably delete LinkedIn and still walk into several companies to get a job.

It is still good for me to have it out there as a public facing version of me.

I don’t know if just stopping the attack is going to work this time. Iran was significantly attacked and will want some form of retribution in order to remind the USA to never do this again.

The USA and Israel will need to pay costs for peace.

There are a lot of places out there which don’t do that.

The US is currently spending billions on an illegal war with Iran. It is hard to say with a straight face that we don’t have enough money for space exploration and social programs when we spend our money on that.

Given that Iran is getting bombed but no nuclear power is kind of shows the value of nuclear deterrence.

OP wants to post videos, not watch them. Nebula is invite only and generally only invites those with a decent body of work.

Years of practice from spammers and others.

I don’t see why not. Israel attacked oil infrastructure, showing this was as much an economic war as anything else.

Everyone. Iran isn’t going to abide by the international order if the international order is going to allow it to get bombed in a war of aggression.

This is being done as it is the only card Iran can realistically play to get international pressure to get this to not happen in the future.

Someone is going to have to plan the trip, still. Are you planning it? Is the retired family friend planning it?

How are the two of you talking about planning the trip together? Have you two discussed what the two of you want out of the trip? Does your friend know that one of the reasons you picked Vietnam was to drink, meaning they may end up with a hungover roommate?

Also, 45 days is a lot of time to be around someone. Plan activities where you two can be apart.

Given his script caveats to get him to star, you’re right.

Movies are going to go away because either no one has the attention span for them or they want a full season of prestige television.

I disagree with 4. Nic Cage is a great actor, he just isn’t going to give a subdued method actor style of performance.

I look at it more that Denis made a lot of choices to remove a lot of the more esoteric elements to fit that it was a movie and a sequel made years later. A lot was removed from the book, but it still feels well paced for two movies.

And if you’re going to make significant cuts, you might as well cut out the really weird shit.

It is also a case where AI is contributing to a greater human act of creativity. It is one step above a character creation screen.

I’ll put it at a 2. The only way that I have seen AI go beyond a 1 has been when used by people without a talent in art use AI art as a way to assist in visually telling their story, like using it to help their D&D campaign or to provide the visuals for a comic book.

There is still a creative vision using AI. It just happens to be by someone without an artistic talent.
