- Comment on Which movie do you feel has the most wasted potential? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah the only example I can think of that doesn’t fit that mold is American Mary
the cool premise in which isn’t a world, but a hypothetically possible situation (desperately broke medical student turns to stripping, which leads to back alley surgery for gangsters, which leads to black market body modification surgery) and the letdown isn’t the characters or plot, it’s the hamfisted script and acting lol
- Comment on Which movie do you feel has the most wasted potential? 3 weeks ago:
Excellent premise: vampire post-epidemic society trying to deal with the scarcity of blood, ethical ramifications of keeping the remaining humans sedated for blood harvesting, technical challenges like adapting infrastructure and vehicles to be sun-proof, etc.
The only thing I clearly remember is the premise, cuz the plot, characters, dialogue, action, etc. was all dog trash

looking into it, seems like you’re actually right. looks like it runs best with a solid GPU. there may be other distributed computing projects better suited for abundant RAM.

Fold At Home!
You can essentially donate your processing power to various science projects that need it to compute protein folding simulations. I used to run it whenever I wasn’t actively using my PC. This does cost electricity and increase rate of wear and tear on the device, as with any sustained high computational load. But it’s cool! :]

Only 20 minutes!? You’re a great internet detective! Thanks so much! Bummer that it’s not some old obscure movie I can watch, but at least now it won’t bug me that I never found out

I have heard of this mystical engineering technique called “looking it up in a table” by which one avoids copious amounts of math

some group of nerds in the future: “ok but this is rumored to be the MATHEMATICALLY BEST POSSIBLE parametric drawer organizer. If we can break the file encryption, humanity will become so effortlessly organized that we’ll shave centuries off of becoming a space-faring species.”

I wish I could say I’m not an engineer but I become the de-facto engineer and IT technician at every place I work 🤦♀️
I’m also flattered though. :]

Yeah I miss when not every company was just “qUaRteRlY iNcReAsEs OvEr aLL eLsE” and it wasn’t rare for a business to care about safety, quality, the law, etc.
the company I work at has vestiges of safety programs but repeatedly denies my requests for very simple safety controls from not blocking the fire alarm and exits with inventory, to an oxygen monitor in a room full of compressed gas tanks (some of which are hydrogen. fun!)
yeah i gotta get the fuck outta here.

just because i learned to do math doesn’t mean I’m not still afraid of it 😭
- Comment on It was Steve 1 month ago:
Yup. Just like every other place I’ve ever worked. Can’t see past quarterly profit increases until everything inevitably crashes and burns

That’s what workplace investigations are supposed to be, yes. My workplace unfortunately seems more preoccupied with assigning blame to operators and writing increasingly complex rule changes that wouldn’t be necessary if they spent, let me see, literally more than $0 on upgrading our tech…

“humans make mistakes”
so many goddamn iNvEsTiGaTiOnS I have to write for work boil down to this
if you’re too cheap to engineer out the possibility of human error, don’t come crying to me, a human, about it
