Very very cool! I love everything except the "pan" functionality. Conceptually I want to pan the world (i.e. grab the world and spin it around my character), not pan the character's FoV. This inverts R and L and makes it the opposite of basically every 3D pan I've ever used.
Pretty much every office job, tech or otherwise, that I've taken has this. I think it's probably there in case you might have to move your monitor or chair or something similar. Maybe someone uses a case of printer paper to prop a meeting room door open and you need to shut the door. Incidental office workplace stuff. Maybe to inform an applicant who couldn't perform these actions that they should inquire further.
I'm not sure how things work up there, but in the US you can refuse any unopened package by taking it back to the nearest carrier facility and telling them you refuse it.
This applies whether the package was dropped off or handed directly to you, signed for, taken into possession, or not. If the original seal is intact, the carrier must accept the refusal.
It's unfortunate that she opened any of them, because now the above doesn't apply and she probably technically took on some legal risk/liability by doing so.
Usually just because a package has been misdelivered, but you still know it's not for you, you still haven't gained the right to open it.
Still, hopefully someone will help her find a way out of her predicament.
This question has been asked with near identical or very similar wording in almost every LK-99 submission I've seen over the last week or so... Is there something botnet-y happening? I find it hard to believe anyone reading similar threads could have missed the numerous answers to this and similarly-formed questions that have been offered lately.
You may also like Emergence Magazine. It's significantly more humanities/culture oriented but similarity wide-ranging and imaginative.
Come to think of it, I think imagination is one of the qualities that makes Quanta so magical. Ostensibly it's a magazine about the interactions of formal and natural sciences, but they're not afraid to include a bold dash of imagination.
Libcom.org is a wonderful place. I still benefit from it regularly after 10+ years of reading wide and deep, there. It's not very similar to Quanta though.
I agree, I find it easy to identify in any season. We have few plants that resemble it or its growth habits in anything but a superficial way, plus poison oak is much less variable in leaf size and shape than poison ivy.
The buds and stem tips are especially good giveaways, but I didn't really realize it until I lived somewhere with multiple species of sumac.
Same score, and most of these plants aren't native here (W Oregon) and I wasn't familiar (in particular jack-in-the-pulpit got me 2/3 times, and then sarsaparilla appeared once).
I get asked to teach people plant ID sometimes, and people often seem mystified by it, until I explain the concept of "search image". It seems to give them a new way to approach it and seems helpful in most cases. Probably related to what you mean by "developing an instinct".
> At least the last time I used the site, the UI is actually not very clear about this
That's BS—in September 2020 (the oldest archive date for the Help Center on Wayback Machine), the messaging was: "Your members will be given the chance to become the organizer and keep the group running without you" and that remains identical to the copy on the current "step down" user flow.
If that's not clear, perhaps I don't understand the meaning of the word.
Meetup's intentions or incentives are totally beside the point. The UI is clear, the docs are clear, and have been all along.
> There are actually a lot of problems with how Meetup handles organizers stepping down and/or billing. I've lost track of the number of groups I've been in that experienced a "hostile" takeover because (for example) the primary organizer's credit card expired, which created an opening for any member to become the primary organizer just by providing their credit card, even though the other organizers were still present.
None of this has to do with the situation at hand, is there a reason you're bringing it up? Meetup has a ton of shitty practices and dark patterns, but none of that has anything to do with the fact that in this case, the situation is quite clear.
Is Meetup shitty? Yeah. But in a world full of adversarial entities, the responsible thing is to be defensive and act accordingly.
You're reading my mind. Totally. I used to work in CX and "Failure to plan on your part does not constitute an emergency on their part" was like a mantra, internally. We were still very compassionate to customers who found themselves in such situations, but as a support person it helps one keep oneself from getting sucked into the emergency mindset.
