The Garbage Dump: 100+ pages of well-aged compost

I thought so too, but Marge is short for Marjorie in this case. (Although even this is inconsistent; there's one episode where Homer remarks that "Margarita" is "Spanish for Marge.")

She is named after Margaret Groening, though.

Maggie's name is actually Margaret, Maggie is just a nickname

funny note: I remembered this little detail by total random but still wanted to check it on Wikipedia and while I was at it, check the other names too just for fun. it's been so long Marge and Maggie have both gained second names in the time period between now and the last time I've read about it

How does Peggy Hill fit into all this? (Peggy is short for Margaret.)

I'm shopping around for a new computer. Specifically, one to work on animation and video work.

What computer would one recommend for video editing? For either laptop or desktop.

The industry standard for video editing is Final Cut Pro, which runs on iOS. Apple computers, however, cost about 4 times as much as PCs.

All hardware decisions depend on the budget.

Mr. Big · Post by **Mr. Big** (?) » Tue Apr 24, 2018 11:36 am

Yeah, I'd rather get Windows.

Basically, whatever Windows computer that's strong enough to handle editing and animation work. Within $1,000 or less if possible.

I'm leaning towards laptop, although I'm aware desktops tend to be cheaper.

As far as software goes, VEGAS Pro can be had for $20 if you hurry.

Logicgate · Post by **Logicgate** (?) » Tue Apr 24, 2018 12:45 pm

I've heard VEGAS Pro uses a proprietary file format and has portability issues.

You know, what happens in VEGAS...

I'm also hearing good things about Adobe Premiere as well re: editing.

Another con bites the dust.

On April 20, 2018, Kickstarter backers began to receive notifications from one of Universal Fan Con’s “Partner Hotels” indicating that the rooms which were part of their Kickstarter backer rewards had been canceled— along with the convention itself.

(?) · Post by **Perrydotto** (?) » Thu Apr 26, 2018 8:08 am

Aw man, that's a shame. More people getting into convention organizing, especially for the purpose of making a convention that's not geared towards the lowest common denominator nerd, would be great - But obviously not if it ends up being badly done and sketchy

Chromebooks have slowly been invading my school. There are several class sets as is, and more are supposed to be coming next year.

I don't mind it at school (mainly because the log-in takes 20 seconds as opposed to the 4-5 minutes the laptops take to log in and load).

I wonder why we're seeing a lot of event planning trainwrecks of late? To their credit, this crashed and burned before anyone had set foot in a venue, so at least we're not looking at Unicon bits, a deflated ball pit or people trying to get a flight home before they starve.

i am curious about chromebooks but would never own one

(?) · Post by **Fizzbuzz** (?) » Thu Apr 26, 2018 7:09 pm

To be fair, Chromebooks really are likely more useful to most normal people than an actual computer would be. You can get quite a bit done in a web browser these days. I wouldn't spend money on one, but it'd be an interesting curiosity of a device to have, at least.

Mr. Big · Post by **Mr. Big** (?) » Fri Apr 27, 2018 2:46 am

I shared this cartoon on tumblr and it somehow got over 800 likes and reblogs. I'm guessing the subject matter (it's about humor in violence and how some people don't like it), plus the improvised "Home Movies"-ish dialogue, resonates with a lot of people on the site.

I had this digitized from my 16mm print.

I have been happy with my chromebook, but a huge part of it is that I use Chrome Remote Desktop to access the power of my desktop from wherever.

Octavia · Post by **Octavia** (?) » Fri Apr 27, 2018 10:57 am

Chromebooks are cheap and get the job done, just don't expect to be able to do anything graphically intense on them.

I just remember Twin Peaks season 3 was a thing

despite not rewatching a single bit of it, I've completely flipped my opinion around from "this is great" to "this blows" to "this is the greatest thing ever" in the intervening time period

fucking Lynch, man

I mean, I hope so. I've liked him in nearly every performance of his I've seen (especially recently).
