I am using a formula to turn the following texture into what looks like two 3 dimensional planes The formula I am using for the texture deformation is float2 texUV = float2(uv.x / abs(uv.y), (1.0 / abs(uv.y))); Based on the deformation equation above, how can I work out a value for z on t...

“Two males and two females, they were assessed by Queensland ambulance personnel and had all sustained injuries that were incompatible with living.”

wtf kind of language is that :/

Kevin van der Velden

Corporate language

ah ok

"Its the official terminology from Queensland Ambulance. It basically means that they sustained such significant injuries where that “it would be appropriate to withhold the commencement of CPR”. The exact phrase used in the article came from a press conference from the Ambulance Service, and references why all 4 died and were not resuscitated."

It is the terminology they are trained to use.

Th

Two were sucked into the conveyor belt system and were mangled up and possibly drowned at the same time.

One woman apparently fell out and her foot got caught and the ride crushed her upside down in the air as her daughter watched

The 4th was crushed and drowned under the flipped car

Almo

3:45 PM

horrible accident :(

I've ridden one of those things, and it was so underwhelming, it's amazing there could be such an accident with them.

user4704

What sort of ride was this?

Almo

round 8 seat "river rapids"

user4704

Ah yeah.

user4704

I went on one of those when I was kid. I think that was the only time.

user4704

4:00 PM

Being mangled and drowned at the same time though? Ugh.

Almo

:(

jgallant

essentially no one was ever supposed to be killed on this ride

it is a very tame ride

But... murphy's law man...

i used to love going on rides as a kid -- now that I am older I don't really like it so much.

I think of all the horrible ways I could die

The only thing I remember about He Man is his parody video of YYYEEEAYEAYEA

Uri Popov

Diaries of a game developer #1: Spent 1 hour with the team discussing if the main character should have legs.

jgallant

diary of a solo game dev -- no meetings

patch almost complete

DH.

If it were supposed to be a evil reaper, no legs would make it more evil

But if you want to keep the female aspect of it you'll probably want her to have legs

Uri Popov

cause less human = more evil right ? :D

Thats what I said: Cant have a chick without bomb ass legs lmao

and a little bit of ass showing during the run cycle... am I right guys :D

jgallant

and poop coming out

DH.

lol I thought you wouldn't want to have sexualized characters

Uri Popov

5:09 PM

hmm

might catch that scat+rpg player base. Worth investing research into

DH.

Oh geezus no

Uri Popov

could have a fart DLC just for Jon

99 cents

DH.

Fart*

Uri Popov

fixed it

PearsonArtPhoto

@jgallant More like debated with myself if the main character should have legs...

5:13 PM

Or maybe that's just me...

DH.

Make a DLC called "Jon's Demise" that adds an enemy that farts around knocking you back

Uri Popov

omg its 2016 this is really offensive I cant literally right now

jgallant

Why is it racist if I were a niqab?

Uri Popov

dude its 2016

you change your gender and relligion

then its not racist to wear a niqab

cause you will be a muslim woman

Almo

jgallant

6:05 PM

Uri Popov

Almo

:(

ear infections suck. I had one. THAT WAS ENOUGH.

jgallant

and how can i tell?

Almo

see doc. They look in ear to see if that's problem. they probs give antibiotic if so

jgallant

wouldn't i be sick?

Almo

6:08 PM

can become very painful if not treated

no

I had no other symptoms when I had mine

jgallant

says its supposed to be painful

i just have a very high pitched hum

Almo

hmm ok

DH.

I had ear infection when I was a kid

Almo

if you still have it later today, I'd see a doc about it

just my opinion

interesting fact: Ikea consumes 1% of the world's lumber

user4704

And Lego manufactures more tires than anybody else.

DH.

6:14 PM

Wait, what? By quantity or kg of tires?

user4704

Quantity.

user4704

Apparently the stats are from 2011, too, so maybe out of date.

user4704

381 million tires in 2011.

user4704

Bridgestone was next on the list with 190 million.

Uri Popov

@jgallant high pitched hum is how it starts for me. Give it 2 more days then the pain comes

Almo

6:19 PM

jgallant

jgallant

8:42 PM

As long as it's not shit migraines

Almo

jgallant

Apparently the worst pain known to man is a compound headache

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluster_headache

Cluster headache

Cluster headache (CH) is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent, severe headaches on one side of the head, typically around the eye. There are often accompanying autonomic symptoms during the headache such as eye watering, nasal congestion and swelling around the eye, typically confined to the side of the head with the pain. Cluster headache belongs to a group of primary headache disorders, classified as the trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias or (TACs). Cluster headache is named after the demonstrated grouping of headache attacks occurring together (cluster). Individuals typicall...

Almo

sounds horrible

jgallant

Those with cluster headaches may experience suicidal thoughts during an attack as a result of the pain.

Yah

Almo

my migraines can be pretty bad. my thought is "I know why early man was found to have drilled holes in peoples' heads"

jgallant

8:53 PM

Mine are borderline suicidal thoughts

When I get a bad one I can literally overdose myself on pain killers trying to make it stoo

I just sit. And literally do nothing and wait for the pain to go away
