Anyhows, dead pixels update: The longest line is 124 pixels long (nearly 3cm, it's a TV), the rate of pixel death seems to have been increasing, the smaller line has had its dead pixels, but at a lesser rate. And sad news, it is spreading horizontally, the red and green parts of three pixels *two pixels high) died around the early death area. I wonder if it's too inconvenient for 3D modeling (one has to keep watch of artifacts and stuff, and maybe I won't see it if I keep ignoring the part with those blue lines.
Edit: Another one showed up while I was making this post. Make that four off-line dead pixels, three pixels high.
Edit edit: Also, I feel like I haven't been productive the last two days. Maybe it's time for another no-browsing cold-turkey thing.
I know that feel, it happens all the time to me when there's something I've studied that needs repairing but I can't repair it.
That is 2/2 of the IRL people who showed up in My Scene Goes Hollywood making the whole thing super uncomfortable in hindsight. Though Lindsay Lohan didn't sexually assault anyone, at least.
Also, I'll never watch Project Runway without thinking about this ever, All Stars is worse, because Georgina Chapman (his soon to be ex-wife) is a judge there.
"Szechuan sauce" (which isn't really a specific term except in regards to the specific McDonald's item, as far as I can tell) was among the super limited items for some special promotion earlier this month, and the participating McDonald's outlets were pretty horrifically understocked on it (and presumably the other promotional sauces).
Most of this I got from this thread.
Dead pixel update: I've started recording pixel death. On the upper side of the left line about 10.5 pixels die per hour, it's much slower on the lower side. On the right line I only noticed one death on the upper side and one on the lower side. Several did die on the right side, however, making the right line noticeably thicker at two pixels wide.
Also, two pixels have had their green part die without the red part also dying, which hadn't happened yet.
I wonder if it's straining on the eyes to watch a teal screen for long.
It took a while but they finally made it:
At any rate, this is satisfying to watch.
MTurk has stopped being as productive as it was two weeks ago. The requesters I worked for are nowhere to be seen and for the most part I haven't found good ones since. That said, unreliable as it is, working on hipster Pinterest searches is still fast and easy.
On dead pixel updates, the original splotch has been expanding, but very slowly. On the downside loads of lines of dead appeared on the top right side of the screen (i.e. far away from the splotch) and have spread downwards quickly. It looks like ̟̺̜̙z̴̡̢͔̘̪̲͛̓͋̃̃̕ả̸̡̹̭̝̞͍̱̆̋̽̉͂͐̚̕ľ̡̨̙̮̟͚͇̄͐́͡g̶̼̫̖̫̱̖̀̆͋͒́̕͜o̢̳̼̗̘̼̤̖͖͌̊̏͗͒͐̚ h̨̨̟͉̫̭̼́͑̄̾͜͢͡a̶̺͍͚̳̗͓̥̜̖̳̍̎̾͐̌̀̎͝s̨̩̮̥͉̥͖̪̠̒̌̑̑͌̕ c̨̟̮͕̮͍̰̟̎͑̿͒͘͢ͅǫ͕̺̝̰͖́̈́̓̂͝m͔̰̲̻͚̥̂͗̿͌̍͑̐̈́̈́͢͠e̦͇͙͉̩̞͓̥̙̋̓͆̿͟͝ except in colour.
Maybe once the dead pixel lines reach the other side of the screen they'll reincarnate again, thus continuing the cycle of life and death in my screen.
I bet if I disassemble then reassemble this thing it'll get fixed. Not gonna risk damaging it though.
^^ Speaking of professor Conway, I just learned about Conway's base 13 function (tl;dr: a function that contains every real number in every interval (of non-zero length)). I've considering studying analysis so I can understand stuff like that but I still haven't finished the MIT course I was still into since ages ago and last time I tried doing more than one it didn't end well.
In fact, the top tier of fashion brands is kind of a nightmarish mess that is best compared to comic book collectors if that involved like, 10 times the money.
Plus, what is really the difference between brands like Chloe and Etro and Hermes aside from "pricepoint"* and "exclusivity"*.
It's best to just stick to caring about the brands that are actually doing stuff you think is cool. It turns out, this includes Alice+Olivia, who I thought had died way back in the era of BCBG before that was BCBGMAXAZRIA.
And people think idols have the market cornered on weird names.
*okay actually I have never seen an Etro thing I have thought anybody on the planet would want to wear
*I am so annoyed at fashion pricing, "It'll last forever" means nothing if you still try and sell me new stuff 6 times a year. "Pre-fall" capsule collections? Really? What even is a "Resort" collection? is the one acceptable vacation for fashion people a tropical resort?
Also, YouTube's language auto-detector is lulz. It thinks this is Portuguese.
I don't know how to describe the feeling I had holding a deceased person's work, especially when it was so recent. It was more morbid that I would have expected.
why do people think this is weird?
