I thought at first he was going to do something relatively understandable, like basically stabilizing the image, painting words on, then reversing the stabilization. But there are steps here that I don't understand at all. I know Content Aware Fill can be used to, well, fill content aware. But how is it being used to texture?

I have a few recurring clients, and recently one asked about my availability; I'm on a 3 month contract June - August, etc, and I told them as such, because I know sometimes they want some all-day availability for notes, turnarounds, etc. It's the sort of thing that I can sometimes fudge and pretend I'm available and just squeeze in the extra hours, and sometimes feel I can't.

I could try to subcontract it to retain the client work, but it starts feeling a little awkward in terms of their expectations that I'm the one doing the high-touch work, not just overseeing, and to the subcontractor depending on the rate I negotiate with them.

Do you know how grisly that must be? If you've got a large barrel of acid, you can't exactly tip them over to put the bodies in; you'd have to chop them up. There's no way Walt is single handedly lifting Mike into a barrell and plopping him in nicely, because even then, manipulating the joints to fit and all are gonna get stuck, so even two people would have trouble. Every person who wound up in a barrel, save maybe the kid because there were extra hands and kids are lighter, probably had to be chopped up. Think about what serial-killer level of mess these guys had to deal with, aside from just meth-related crime.

I often like to sell ratio spreads (+1/-2 for small credits or typically even, i.e. the cost of the long leg is equal to the premium from the two short legs. Screening for these right now on Fidelity is annoying; I have to sort of eyeball it and click around constantly to tweak parameters. Is there any platform where I could, say, specify an expiry, a ratio on the legs, and filter for price ranges?

Do you mirror the algorithms across your hands? I'm much better at using the righthand ring/middle at the bottom/back to manipulate the M2 but I feel like I should get better at the left hand for M2 as well. For M I have been pushing upward from the back/bottom; do some people use a different finger for that? Because it's a bit of an awkward stretch. I could see using thumb to drag downwards from the top for M instead depending on what fingers are used for the U rotations?

I know you can go lightning to HDMI adapter to HDMI capture card, but wondering if there's an all-in-one solution.

People often say that cost is the reason why people aren't having children, but that is obviously not strictly the case when you look at demographics.

What I would correct it to is that it is about opportunity cost, what one gives up in order to at children. In places with increasing quality of life, you give up more quality of life to have children. But places without good quality of life, you obviously aren't giving up much to have another kid. And if you are rich enough to shrug off all costs, you also aren't giving up much to have another kid, which is why the chart for fertility rises on poor and rich ends, but dips the most in the middle. Because middle class is where you have to pay the most opportunity cost for major financial decisions.

It's also probably the reason why fertility is falling globally, technology and entertainment and other quality of life improvements hit everywhere.
