It's about the quality of pixels, not the volume.

One of my previous jobs did something similar to this only without reward and public shaming as the punishment. We were all cube workers forced to do army standard tests and training after work.

What a great job they did! This would have been a ton of work to develop the rig, stitch and normalize.

What happened to the emission credits auto manufacturers had to buy and trade? Seems like this would help the problem.

I think this is a double edged sword; It is easier for auto makes to make a profit on larger vehicles. Example of Ford discontinuing all cars in US except mustang in 2019 because of profitability. Americans feel they must compete in the road arms race because they do not feel safe with larger and larger vehicles. There is more demand for bigger vehicles and bigger vehicles make more profit, naturally this will explode into every manufacturer making larger things.

Next up: Caterpillar will release their ASV (armored security vehicle) to the civilian market and it sells like hotcakes!

Hummm, Google must have metrics directly associated with people moving to Apple because of this issue to put resources on it.

Yeah man Tofu is a great complete protein! But is tricky to cook and if you don't do something special with it, it will taste like nothing and feels mushy. This is why tofu gets a bad rap.

If you are interested in cooking with tofu! Here is a killer tofu marinade I do. I am in love with this tofu and would eat it like cereal every morning if I could. This goes well with any Asian, rice or veggie dish:

Ginger-seseme tofu:

  • Firm or extra firm tofu

  • Take the package of tofu and cut it open with a knife, it looks like you can open it with your hands but you cannot. Keep this package as a marinade binn for later

  • drain all the water from the package and squeeze the water out of the tofu by placing it between some heavy things or even with your hands, the more water out the more flavor in but try to keep the shape intact

  • Now mix together the marinade in a bowl with:

    1/4 cup soy sauce

    1/4 cup rice vinegar

    2 tablespoons lime juice

    2 tablespoons brown sugar

    1 tablespoon minced ginger

    1 tablespoon siracha

    1 tablespoon sesame oil

    2 cloves garlic minced

  • Cut up the freshly squeezed tofu into dice sized cubes and place them back into the original container

  • Add the marinade into the container with the tofu and put into a fridge, let sit anywhere from 30mins - 4 hrs

  • Finally, bake in an oven set to 425f or air fryer set to high for 30mins flipping half way.

Protip! - freeze and thaw the package of tofu. Something about freezing tofu alters it's structure, this allows wore water to be drained and more marinade to be absorbed, almost 2x more!

If you try hope you enjoy!

I know that was a lot so if you want quick foolproof tofu that solves the texture problem but relies on the flooring of what it is put with:

  • Press water out of the tofu like above

  • Cut the tofu into the same dice sized cubes or shred it into a mixing bowl with your hands

  • Toss with 1.5 tablespoons of cornstarch

  • Fry tofu in oil, flipping until golden brown

Phew' this was all phone typed, hope it makes sense. <3

Edit: fix formatting

As a Unity dev of 6 years, playerPreffs (the unity system that stores data in the registry) are a good place to store small amounts of data in a dictionary style structure quickly without creating your own data system. But they are extremely limited in the types of data they can hold and the control a dev has over them. Whenever I see playerPreffs used I think the dev must-have needed something quick and easy. They may have also created their own registry save system in that case should be an easy fix. (De)Serializing json or even custom binary files in compartmented files in a defined folder like StreamingAssets gives much more flexibility in data types and control. You can see playerPreffs limitations in the documentation below: (https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/PlayerPrefs.html)

It does feel like antiquated tech but what streaming service uses even 50+mbps streaming? The services I know of (apple, Netflix, Disney) all max out around 30mbps.

Most all of the tutorials for this say to use a ESP-01s with a voltage regulator but I Wanted to share a different solution I have found. I had some of these Amazon esp8266 hi let go chips laying around with the added benefit of being able to run on 5v. I found they fit pretty nice if you cut a hole in the top and pass the antenna out. It looks like they don't obstruct the airflow too much that way. They work great soldered directly to the Ikea board and also work for the constant 3.3v noise hack if you wire the fan positive to the 8266's 3.3v pin.

Board used: HiLetgo 3pcs ESP8266 NodeMCU... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081CSJV2V?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Shot with friends. We were lucky to go to a spot dark enough to get this picture with a Single exposure (~90s) and no light filters.
