weirdly it's WORSE because the translation is actually quite good, so it always takes me a bit too long to notice that i've been duped.

i imagine this feature was dreamed up by someone who speaks only one language (american english, no doubt)

Trying to find specific information about bathroom fixture installation is annoying enough as it is, having it present UK-code as if it was Swedish is directly sabotaging.

of all the infuriating things the modern internet is up to the one that really grinds my gears is the thing reddit does.

they auto-translate shit and make it appear as if it was originally in swedish (or whatever) when it's really in some other language.

Was having a nice day up until my son tipped over my coffee fully INTO my computer. Turns out that mesh cases are great for letting more things than air in.

Anyway, a swift disassembly and application of lots of paper towels seems to have saved it all.

i've been trying to figure out when this happened, but i can't pin it down in my mind.

i saw you exhibit the og icy tower at some event in stockholm, probably like 2005? the name of the venue also escapes me.

i have a pitch for "holedown but with blockchain" in my inbox and it's taking all the self control i have not to be very rude in a reply.

i thought we were done with the horrors of blockchain and had moved on to new, worse horrors?!

i feel what really makes a mug powerful is the ratio between how obscure a print is has, as compared to how good of a quality mug it is.

strange print on a low quality mug. meh.
regular print on proper mug. meh.
bizarre print on great mug. YES.

unitys shadergraph actually has a node that does most of them! which means i can dodge working out the math, but this damn shader is currently up to four textures, three colors and ten other parameters.
