My dedication is mostly weaponized autism not love, though I figure plenty of us can't tell the difference.

Writing means to carve but you wrote this post without a metal stick and a hammer.
>hassle for owners
"Recall" is used to signify the severity of the flaw not the inconvenience fixing it caused owners. I feel "software update" doesn't do it justice at all and "recall" is appropriate.
Kind of like every other treatment for depression? Not being funny here but I don't think we gave the control groups in clinical trials for MAOIs brutal kicks to their blood pressure every morning.
That means "things required for daily life". They definitely mean supermarket. It's about the same in Rotterdam. I'm an eight minute walk away from four different big supermarket chains. If I walk 10 minutes I can get to the second most distant Albert Heijn.
Not strictly true. I get robocalls and WhatsApp spam messages from country code +1 all the time.
I wasn't saying all they needed to do to get perfectly realistic fire in all scenarios is hire one guy with a 1950x. Our pipeline still ends on a supercomputer. I'm saying if you see a garbage fire in a film you don't need to write an article about "why fire hard". The answer is "they were unwilling to pay for a realistic fire". We're not talking billions of dollars here. Not everything is Avatar. But like I said, studios often expect miracles for little to no money. Fire isn't like skin/faces which is actually genuinely ridiculously hard to pull off.
>Although I really do wonder if we have accurate enough physics models of the igniting gases to truly realistically show the way licks of flames ignite in a strong wind -- as opposed to a more bog-standard campfire type
That would make an excellent article because you don't actually want a "realistic" fire. Don't forget we're doing entertainment, not science. Turbulence in media is just a noise function. I want a pretty vector field visual to indicate where and how my sim will move. Pyrotechnics is the same. We want control. Realism is undesirable. It's like asking for realistic silencers. John Wick is amazing because the silencers aren't realistic. The explosions and fires you see in film/tv aren't functionally realistic (though manipulated to appear so) and that's a good thing.
>Friedlander notes that the fire scene in No Hard Feelings was part of reshoots that took place just a month and change before the film hit theaters — giving the effects team only a couple of weeks to work.
Literally the only reason. I'll bet you anything that team didn't have a few weeks. More like hours. A set has to be built, cameras transported, crew flown in. That overhead is accounted for. CG is considered a bunch 1s and 0s we can conjure from thin air with a few clicks. Bad directors expect miracles, don't get them, then scream "CG BAD!".
Doing hard things proves you can do hard things. Where does calculus enter into it?
>The more hard things you push yourself to do, the more competent you will see yourself to be
"The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts."
>Most C students are not doing other hard things instead of school. They’re just goofing off, so they end up working for the A student.
This is ridiculous. Author goes on to imply these ("most C students") are on social media and using drugs. I'd put any money on them being much more likely to have been raised by the type of parent who believes their kid needs a reason to want to learn calculus.
Oh, and what is "hard" by the way? Is it doing something you're not good at until you're good at it? Does it need to be valuable from my perspective or that of my parent? Should it take a certain amount of time to become "good" at it? When am I good at it? Can it be a hobby I enjoy even while it's difficult, or must it be a chore? What if I'm forced to overcome some hurdle in my life for example growing up with a foolish parent with warped worldviews?
Instead of just being terrified as the eastern counterparts recommend, you deny it. Constructing a limit-case for every obstacle you face downplays your emotions, making them shrivel away so you can maintain a straight face through extended torture. I've spent the past two years undoing the damage that therapy did to me. Trying to get my ability to suffer back isn't something I ever thought I'd do but here I am. I'll have a brutal, soul-crushing failure turn me into a miserable sobbing pile of person long before I accept only being intellectually aware of all my setbacks without a shred of crippling emotion. If that means I don't have any "impressive accomplishments" because I was sitting in a corner in the fetal position wailing about my dead hamster, so be it.
