To update you and eveyone interested. We have 4 out of 5 of the versions tested on beta. The last one is where we expect some problems. If so we will apply 4 out of 5 and work on the 5th. Otherwise we might have all 5 updates applied to production soon. The first 4 succeeded which is a nice first step!
I've been trying the mills mess with 3 balls for what feels like a godzillion years and now I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel🕯️😁. I'm close!
The same goes for alternating 2-1 doubles with the clubs
Some projects in the colored pencil book I'm working through ask for various shades of gray. My 36-color Prismacolor set doesn't have any grays, just black and white. What should I do? Fake it by varying pressure with the black colored pencil or graphite?
A while back I went through the tutorials for Inkscape and was fairly impressed.
Now that I sat down to draw some box-and-arrow data structure diagrams, I found that (a) the knowledge had fallen out of my head and (b) it was nearly impossible to figure out how to do things by playing with the program. I probably spent the better part of an hour trying to center text vertically within a box. A DuckDuckGo search was useless, because I kept getting videos explaining how to do much fancier things like getting text to lie along a curve. The only source that explained the procedure was, surprisingly, ChatGPT.
Clearly this is far too powerful a tool for my task -- like slicing butter with a chainsaw.
I looked for open source alternatives and alternativeto.net reminded me of draw.io. I had used this before, but been annoyed that it insisted on saving things within Google drive and manually drilling through my directory structure each time. Fortunately, there is now a standalone desktop app that lets me save things locally. It feels much friendlier -- poking around for a few seconds tends to find what I need.
@bmaxv The final project for the class is a (single-player against an AI opponent) Scrabble game. I'd want the simplest thing that can support that. Basically just drawing colored shapes and text on the screen and recognizing mouse clicks and keypresses.

Discord is the easiest way to communicate over voice, video, and text.
Chat, hang out, and stay close with your friends and communities.
Snaps are confined, as such Discord may be unable to perform some of the
tasks it typically does when unconfined. This may result in the system log
getting spammed with apparmor errors. Granting access to the system-observe
interface when in the snap will enable the features, and thus reduce the
logging.

I don't understand how some of these people survive everyday life.
Do you really not understand how a checkout counter works, middle-aged-white-lady? Why are you putting your card in the reader before the cashier has even rung up all your items? Why are you taking your soda off the belt? Why, when you realize you didn't pay for your soda, did you then pay for it in cash and wait for your change? Have you literally never bought anything before, or are you incapable of considering how your actions might affect others, or are you incapable of thinking more than three seconds ahead of the current moment?
How do these people survive everyday life if they can't even manage basic social awareness in one of the most common retail settings on the planet?
@RickiTarr I think there should be a podcast where, every episode, the panel discusses some attractive trait submitted by a listener and decides whether it's considered so because of (a) evolutionary psychology, (b) the patriarchy, or (c) nobody else thinks that's sexy, ya big perv.
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I think the sound mixing in Chris Nolan movies is terrible. He tries so hard to make it grandiose with thumping base tones that half the time I can't understand what anyone is saying.
@LouisIngenthron I thought I read an interview where he said he optimized his sound for theaters with top-of-the-line sound systems, everyone else be damned.
@batkaren On a related note, one of the original Advanced Dungeons & Dragons volumes had an appendix on polearm nomenclature. That's where I learned about the Bohemian earspoon.

@taylorlorenz "politicians who allege corruption by their opponents may themselves be perceived as dishonest" ... but in the GOP's case, we have receipts. Over and over, they're caught doing what they accuse Democrats of. I'm now convinced that the pee tape doesn't exist, because if it did, Trump would be accusing Biden of having one.
