When you’re in the top 5% it doesn’t really matter where you rank

Of course. My work and my friends are quite international is all. With my family I speak my native tongue.

I spend more time speaking English than my native language.

That’s a fine idea. I was going to make a floorplan, might as well do a simplified 3d model.

Did you also use it to test out colors? Or is sketchup not a great tool for that?

Hehe Waka, I know what you’re talking about. I recognise it now, even if it took a few decades. It’s why I’m moving :)

The thing is, it did leave me with this, making it difficult to turn a set of objects into a living space. So I also appreciate the more practical tips :D

Danke shön for your kindness.

How do I open the console to type motherlode ?

2nd person recommending that channel. I know what to watch tonight.

Didn’t expect a stardew valley recommendation, but will give it a try too. Can’t hurt!

Thanks, wise Owl!

Impressive :D Could just do that for the joke 🤔😄

Don’t assume you know what I like or don’t like!!

Jk ;) I think I can already decently do function and comfort, it’s theming and aesthetics that’s difficult to me. As I’m one of these people.

Wow there are a lot of gems in there. Would it make sense to pick a painting there and use it’s (dominant) colors for the walls and furniture? That way there’d be some consistency.

Is that something people do?

Thanks for the compliment. But sadly, this picture isn’t mine, I’m not at that level. I used it as a conversation starter, to get the idea across.

Sometimes you’ll see a piece that just says “hey, I want that”

That’s the difficult part :) I’ve never experienced that, despite having visited those stores.

A chair is a chair is a chair, to me.

Keith will work his ass of if you show him some love, because he’s not used to that

That’s why god gave us the microwave

In uni we always had a verbal defense for our papers. That had 2 benefits: (1) verify that the student actually wrote the paper (plagiarism and ghost writers were a thing before LLMs too), and (2) the prof could test the boundaries of the student’s understanding with additional questioning.

The obvious caveat being the amount of time it takes for the teacher to have a 1-on-1 with each student.

Experts claim it’s healthier than deepfried air

Wifipassfinder? I’d guess you could sell the technique to a product like PDQ. Or even metasploit. But that’s just guessing, I know very little about that market.

Not gonna lie: my first customer was a place I interned at when I was a student. So I knew who to contact, and what the potential value of my product was, as it was tailor made.

After that I started with contacting other companies via linkedin. Here my “trick” is to contact managers with an engineering background, as they more than often speak my language. In other words: I look for people who (a) have a technical understanding of their production process and (b) are high up enough on the corporate ladder to have a say about spending. Weirdly enough: a rare combination.

I went the route of selling B2B because they have bigger budgets. And they are, in my opinion, easier to convince to pay (my first customers had a no gain, no pay contract).

Just to let you know that that’s an option, too.

Actually it’s gnu/star trek
