The tar ointment I bought in Mariehamn is fantastic for healing small infected cuts and bruises. Highly recommend.


Great work! I have a GB camera (and printer) in my collection


I loved that they changed the ending. I did not like the ending in the book.


About to see the movie in two days, read the book ages ago and remember I wasn't too fond of the book ending either, so now I got a bit more excited :)


I don't think they changed much about the ending. There's one scene added that's not in the book, but the outcomes are all the same.


What changed about the ending?


No spoilers please, not everyone has seen the movie!


That’s what rot13 is for.


Graphic designer here. A font recognition ai is sorley needed. Gemini and its competitors flat out lie when asked and Adobe Illustrators Retype is laughably bad. The problem I face almost every day is not to find a close match but to find the actual font in use, commercial or not.


whatthefont and identifont used to work well, but they've been overwhelmed by new designs which are not used often enough to warrant inclusion.

I just use Rookledge's Type Finder and a battered copy of Precision Type 5.0


There are great CRT-shaders these day that would remedy this.


As understand it the battery is 26 Ah and looks to be the size of my 20 mAh powerpack at home.


I saw a xenomorph, who drew that one?


I would like WOPR's voice from Wargames.

“Director John Badham states in the commentary that the actor voicing the raw content that was later modified for the computerized effect was John Wood (the Falken character), reading the script word-for-word in reverse order in order to portray a "flat quality" with limited inflection. That raw audio was then edited and re-assembled after being run through audio processing equipment to achieve the desired effect.”


Apparently John Wood read the lines in reverse order to make the enunciation weird. If you train a model, feed the lines you want in reverse word order, then split on silence and reverse them again, you should come close.


My Outlander rarely needed repairs and I always plugged it in. The car even complained about me needing to use the gazoline in the tank because it risked getting old in the tank and needed to be replaced. That was a great car. My new EV, a Subaru Solterra is great too though.

Looking at Doug Demuro reviews it has one the worst weekend score and one the best daily score. Amazing.


The German philosophy is also very much prevalent in Sweden.


I worked in the Swedish office of a multinational for a couple of years and the one experience I had where Swedes were selling a complex multi-million euro project to Germans was one of the most bureaucratically filled initiatives I’ve ever experienced in my life. Not sure if the project ever really took off, but I’m thankful I was able to avoid it beyond the initial week of discussions.


Oh yes. Driving over from Copenhagen to Malmoe (10 km) it's like you've entered the land of the robots. It's nice and clean though.
