I can’t believe I’ve never seen this video. It’s incredible!

Is oldy moldy oldy moldy?

That was so cool! Thank you for sharing!

Do you mind sharing your process? Do you usually trace different parts of existing images? Are you free-handing? Do you use some sort of image converter as a starting point?

You’ve done it again, Lay! Love your work!

I think a neat one would be an orbital shipyard with a half built bahemoth.

I admit the “don’t be evil” slogan was very effective on me. I fell for it, but never again.

I’ve known a fair amount too and they always over leveraged themselves. As soon as they had enough for another down payment they would purchase another property. It could have been a different strategy or situation than the landlords you know. To the landlords I knew having aapartment vacant for two months was a serious financial issue.

Most are absolutely living month to month, not out of necessity, out of greed. Most have taken out many mortgages and are just passing the monthly rent from tenant to bank. Why pay off a property when you can just use that money as a down payment for a new property?

It’s a useless metric for the state of the stock market. It’s used because it has been around forever and people hate change.

Why is it useless? It is calculated by tracking 30 companies on the stock market and pretty much adding up their current stock price. This is a meaningless metric because you could have one company that is worth $100 that offers two shares of stock, each worth $50. Another company worth $100 chooses to have 50 shares of stock each worth $2.

The companies are the same value, but their stock price is vastly different. Let’s say they’re both on the DOW list of 30 companies. When the first company doubles in value, so does it’s stock price. Now the company is with $200 and the stock is worth $100. That means the dow increased by 50.

When the second company doubles in value, it’s stock also doubles to $4. Now the DOW increases by a value of 2…

This is why the DOW is useless. It’s intent is to measure the general trend of the stock market, but with the two examples above it clearly fails at doing that. There are many better stock market indexes that provide a more reliable insight intoarket trends, the S&P 500 for example. The DOW is meaningless and anyone who is using it as a reference for the health of the stock market is an idiot.

Anyone using it to talk about the health of the economy overall is out of their gord and should be in the loony bin.

Woah! You delivered and then some! That turned out so great!

Shorts are unintended low impedance paths.

it’s just an incredibly tiny amount

Indicates you are not describing a short.

Sure, there is technically current flowing, but it is small enough to be considered an open circuit for engineering purposes. There is leakage current for every insulator, we don’t call it a short.

I think of it as outsourced intuition. It provides a first gut feeling response to the question based on what the Internet would say. That can be useful if you need a starting point. It very rarely should be an ending point.

I get the Expanse vibes from this. Rocinonte approaching the ring gate.

Now this is the kind of content generation I was hoping to find when I came to Lemmy!

The lowest donation in that tier is 240k, they could and are probably giving more.

Same, I’m keeping my dual boot for one multiplayer game that I play to keep in touch with friends.

Very true, but as the movie says it’s a symbol. “Symbols are given power by people” and Guy Fawkes as a symbol is no longer tied to his historical actions. It symbolizes the character V, revolution, and the power of people to make change.

This cat’s a juggalo fo sho.

Please don’t fix it. I laughed so hard when I read it.

You can boil whole grain wheat down into porridge. It’s not the go-to use for wheat now, but the rice cooking method still provides a nutritious meal.
