He tripped in front of the chickens while gathering their eggs, destroying all their hard work, and now they look at him in disgust and disappointment.

And that's why you never keep all your eggs in one basket.

One of the major silent qualifications for posts like these are "if you read/speak English and have a standard keyboard layout".

Which is sad. I had an Egyptian friend who told me he had to use Linux in English because the Arabic support wasn't quite there. This wasn't a problem for him, but would have been a non-starter for his family.

I would say one of the few downsides Kdenlive has is the lack of the premade templates. I feel like there's gotta be a site out there for those premade templates that us hobbyists can download and use, but hopefully they'll just bake that in directly in the future.

The other issue I have is the effects plugins aren't always up-to-date, so not all plugins work with the latest version.

I feel like Vocaloid got pretty popular in the early 2010s for a couple years and then everyone moved on.

It might still have a small fanbase in Japan, but interest is nearly non-existant, at least here in the US.

You might have been thinking Steam gaming. Mac was at ~5% and has dropped to ~2%

This question is so innocuous; it's bullshit that you're being punished for it.

I can't really help you with your quest: SFX, especially specific ones, are probably some of the hardest things to locate. I'd probably point you to archive.org if you haven't already tried it. Otherwise, if there are specific sound effects used by other creators (e.g. SMBZ), you could try reaching out to them and see where they sourced their sound effects. They might be able to point you in the right direction.

This is why routine Preventative Maintenance is important. My job strives for World Class Manufacturing, so I hear all the manufacturing buzzwords all day everyday.

If they are 12 hour shifts, so that the people can head home at 5 with everyone else. If they are 8 hour shifts, usually for the later shifts to have an okay life balance: 5-2 for day shift, 2-11 for second shift, and a third shift option that overlaps.

Even though I'm a night person, 5 is a common time to wake up for enough people who presumably want to be productive, and the benefit of getting off work before the school day ends has to be enticing. And on the second shift side of things, they get to have lunch with loved ones before going to work, and 11 is early enough that they could potentially go out for drinks or other fun before bed.

It's also nice that for either shift, the person has time to run errands at a time when most stores are open and activity levels are low.

I wish I could find it and share the actual quote, but someone on Twitter (iirc) posted something like, "the best way to approach urbanism and biking to conservatives is to say 'I'm for traditional neighborhoods that use independent transportation methods without government overreach' or 'I want fiscally responsible transportation methods'."

To no one's surprise, these refer to walkable cities, using walking or biking, and include buses with the second quote.

I used to have a custom ROM that would allow me to change the color based on which app had the most recent notification: FB was Blue, SMS was Green. Let me be prepared ahead of time if it was going to be important or not.
