The new hotness is to claim that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin agreed to fake the moon landing, but they were huge perfectionists, so they demanded that they film the fake moon landing on-site.

They did, but it was fairly uncommon for you to pick something and get exactly that. It was more of an inspiration, a starting off point. You find some stuff you like and then you talk to the artist and get them to sketch out something base

There's a non-zero chance that the vaccine wasn't effective for you. Herd immunity reduces the amount of virus in the wild below a certain tipping point, making it far less likely that you could contract the virus if you happened

So, I think you're trying to say the risk is low, but non-zero. And getting vaccinated would seem to lower this further. Making it more valuable than a tin foil hat?

There was a similar technique used to prevent botting on MMOs. The game would drop extra loot in a way that humans couldn't see or interact with, but bots would pick it up. Once picked up it couldn't be dropped and wouldn't s

I've run into this a lot lately with woodworking. I started it as a hobby during the pandemic, and I'm clearly still a beginner (just got my 3rd instagram follower that I don't personally know, woo hoo). But any time I show s

I get that it feels like that. I've been on the other side of these discussions and it's painful there too. I've spent hours wordsmithing some text in a dialog that explains exactly what the problem is to people, then watched

It's so good because it was filmed on-location in the NYMEX pits before they moved out of the world trade center. Lot's of staff consulted on that part to make it accurate.

More context that didn't really fit in. Like I said, I'm free to WFH as I see fit as is. I probably averaged WFH less than one day a week, but sometimes it was as many as 3 days. I've done remote work for ~3 years for a few c

Credit cards send updated card information to various merchants that you've used. Usually it's for things like subscriptions or bills so you don't have a gap in service. Personally I hate it because it lets smaller stuff slip

That's a shame. It's kind of a fascinating art that I think is very similar to chess, in that you have to be thinking a dozen moves ahead. I took a series of classes that exposed me to the basics, so I understand the tools and tec
