When someone takes an order (on paper) for a Mediterranean restaurant, do they spell out "shawarma" or do they just write "ə"?

(If the waitron is also a logician, ∃ə is a complete sentence.)

As our kitchen renovation has finally begun, and I are spending our days on campus.

Within the first hour, she has:

  • Found an egg muffin sandwich in the garbage.

  • Approached a student she doesn't know with a tail wag and agree to be petted. Who is she and what has she done with my dog?

So oral exam at end of PhD. Good idea or just a tradition that doesn't make any sense any more? What are the good things about them? If we didn't do them, how else could we get those good things?

@neuralreckoning I'll just leave this here.

Read Stephanie Bower's slim volume 101 Sketching Tips, from the Urban Sketching Handbook series. Lots of neat points in here!

Our new Google Pixel phones have all sorts of neat camera features like "take a one-second video and grab the best single frame".

I thought, "Editing on a tiny phone touch screen is a huge pain. I'll just upload these pictures to Google Photos, made by the same company, and use those features there, where they will surely be available."

Reader, they are not.

@rephlex00 With bullets, there's just a tiny hole, and is that blood or jam? We have no way of knowing.

Something weird is going on in the Unity scene view: the bottom of the view is black, obscuring everything (including the grid). The region gets larger if I zoom in. There are no GameObjects to click on in the void region.

What's going on? A web search finds many forum posts with people having the same problem, and suggestions that it is a bug which has gone unfixed for at least ten years.

Help!

@col000r Yeah, changing from "Iso" to "Persp" (under the compass at upper right of the scene view) seems to help.
