To me, the bird mesh actually does look like marching cubes output. Note the abundance of almost square triangle pairs on the front and sides. Also note that marching cubes doesn't nescessarily create stairstep-like artifacts; it can g

Half-life 2 has received multiple updates to shading and level of detail since it was released, so it looks a little better than it did at release. Still, it was already a visually impressive game at release.

Okay, so most of calves are still killed, but maybe after they grow up rather than while they're calves?

Back of the envelope math: cows live for about 20 years, but dairy cows are killed after about 4 years when their milk production slows. Assuming they are impregnated 4 times, that's (5 cows * 20 years per cow) / (4 years) = 25 ti

This seems to be a fairly common sentiment. I consider Rust's syntax fairly consistent and elegant for a curly brace language, but evidently I have some blind spots. What quibbles do you have with Rust's syntax?

Oh, huh. I assumed it was not registered since Blender uses "™" instead of "®" at the top of its homepage. I guess that's just for the logo then, not the wordmark.
