Very very cool! I love everything except the "pan" functionality. Conceptually I want to pan the world (i.e. grab the world and spin it around my character), not pan the character's FoV. This inverts R and L and makes it the opposite of basically every 3D pan I've ever used.

Maybe Ricardo was onto something.

Pretty much every office job, tech or otherwise, that I've taken has this. I think it's probably there in case you might have to move your monitor or chair or something similar. Maybe someone uses a case of printer paper to prop a meeting room door open and you need to shut the door. Incidental office workplace stuff. Maybe to inform an applicant who couldn't perform these actions that they should inquire further.

I'm not sure how things work up there, but in the US you can refuse any unopened package by taking it back to the nearest carrier facility and telling them you refuse it.

This applies whether the package was dropped off or handed directly to you, signed for, taken into possession, or not. If the original seal is intact, the carrier must accept the refusal.

It's unfortunate that she opened any of them, because now the above doesn't apply and she probably technically took on some legal risk/liability by doing so.

Usually just because a package has been misdelivered, but you still know it's not for you, you still haven't gained the right to open it.

Still, hopefully someone will help her find a way out of her predicament.

Wait, you got a lifetime warranty? xD

Maybe it's because I have been obsessively ensuring that I read every comment on every top thread... Some kind of selection bias could be at play...

This question has been asked with near identical or very similar wording in almost every LK-99 submission I've seen over the last week or so... Is there something botnet-y happening? I find it hard to believe anyone reading similar threads could have missed the numerous answers to this and similarly-formed questions that have been offered lately.

Wow. This might be one of the most poorly written essays I've ever come across in a supposedly serious medium.

Definitely second the Aeon recommendations you and others have put forth.

You may also like Emergence Magazine. It's significantly more humanities/culture oriented but similarity wide-ranging and imaginative.

Come to think of it, I think imagination is one of the qualities that makes Quanta so magical. Ostensibly it's a magazine about the interactions of formal and natural sciences, but they're not afraid to include a bold dash of imagination.

Libcom.org is a wonderful place. I still benefit from it regularly after 10+ years of reading wide and deep, there. It's not very similar to Quanta though.

A bit more tech and tech-impact focused, but I've enjoyed https://logicmag.io.

So... You don't have one? And don't personally know anyone who does? Sounds like "we" don't really have them, then.

I agree, I find it easy to identify in any season. We have few plants that resemble it or its growth habits in anything but a superficial way, plus poison oak is much less variable in leaf size and shape than poison ivy.

The buds and stem tips are especially good giveaways, but I didn't really realize it until I lived somewhere with multiple species of sumac.

Same score, and most of these plants aren't native here (W Oregon) and I wasn't familiar (in particular jack-in-the-pulpit got me 2/3 times, and then sarsaparilla appeared once).

I get asked to teach people plant ID sometimes, and people often seem mystified by it, until I explain the concept of "search image". It seems to give them a new way to approach it and seems helpful in most cases. Probably related to what you mean by "developing an instinct".
