Very very cool! I love everything except the "pan" functionality. Conceptually I want to pan the world (i.e. grab the world and spin it around my character), not pan the character's FoV. This inverts R and L and makes it the

Pretty much every office job, tech or otherwise, that I've taken has this. I think it's probably there in case you might have to move your monitor or chair or something similar. Maybe someone uses a case of printer paper to prop a

I'm not sure how things work up there, but in the US you can refuse any unopened package by taking it back to the nearest carrier facility and telling them you refuse it. This applies whether the package was dropped off or handed direc

Maybe it's because I have been obsessively ensuring that I read every comment on every top thread... Some kind of selection bias could be at play...

This question has been asked with near identical or very similar wording in almost every LK-99 submission I've seen over the last week or so... Is there something botnet-y happening? I find it hard to believe anyone reading similar thr

Wow. This might be one of the most poorly written essays I've ever come across in a supposedly serious medium.

Definitely second the Aeon recommendations you and others have put forth.

You may also like Emergence Magazine. It's significantly more humanities/culture oriented but similarity wide-ranging and imaginative. Come to think of it, I think imagination is one of the qualities that makes Quanta so magical.

Libcom.org is a wonderful place. I still benefit from it regularly after 10+ years of reading wide and deep, there. It's not very similar to Quanta though.

So... You don't have one? And don't personally know anyone who does? Sounds like "we" don't really have them, then.

I agree, I find it easy to identify in any season. We have few plants that resemble it or its growth habits in anything but a superficial way, plus poison oak is much less variable in leaf size and shape than poison ivy. The buds and stem t

Same score, and most of these plants aren't native here (W Oregon) and I wasn't familiar (in particular jack-in-the-pulpit got me 2/3 times, and then sarsaparilla appeared once). I get asked to teach people plant ID sometimes

You're reading my mind. Totally. I used to work in CX and "Failure to plan on your part does not constitute an emergency on their part" was like a mantra, internally. We were still very compassionate to customers who found th

Well, can't those people just leave the group if they don't want to hear from the third party anymore?

There is actually a way to delete Meetup groups, versus just leaving/stepping down from them. The Meetup docs are quite clear about the default behavior if you leave/step down: https://help.meetup.com/hc/en-us

I don't understand, why are you calling this the ragweed family? Ragweed is an asterid and has basically no meaningful botanical relationship to any of the plants you listed (outside of all being dicots), which are all cucurbits.

I think overall you're mostly correct here, though you may be overlooking the fact that protocols may include features outside of the raw "send [encrypted or not] messages" and that in some cases access to those additional fe

Your grandmother was a typesetter , not a typographer. The former lays out type on a page, the latter designs the typefaces themselves.
