You literally don’t know if the information you’re being given is accurate. Meaning you’re not making informed decisions.

Why are you defending technology that has shown time and time again to be a hinderance for the vast majority of uses?

The original poster was saying that same condescending advice CS majors would give other people in college, because now the shoe is on the other foot and CS majors are in the shit show just like everyone else is.

That’s literally it. It’s not that much deeper than that.

Yeah dude. Tech people have literally told other career paths to study CS since I was in college, for like 15 years now.

Shoes on the other foot now.

There’s documented proof of this being measured by multiple people.

A windmill is literally only a visual blight.

I see you’re getting downvotes, but these same CS people told lots of other careers this very thing not even a handful of years ago.

I’ve had multiple CS peeps tell me this as I was starting my entertainment career.

A forum is not ‘social media.’ This is the most braindead literacy comparison there is.

this is a forum. Which, is totally different. You can’t be serious.

That would be lovely.

It was great when it was a small pod of your close friends sharing stuff together.

But now it’s just an algorithm that shows you what you want to see by people pushing products and flat out lying. It’s done. It needs to go away.

Social media needs to go away, fully. Not just for kids.

I had my account under this same name permabanned because of saying something along the lines of ‘when people are attacked they have the right to defend themselves.’ The MAGA crowd didn’t like that.

Spoken like a technozealot.

For sure dude! Action is a fun little space to be in for entertainment, happy to share some of the little that I know about it!

Hey guys I am a stunt guy so I can give you an answer to this!

So, it like, depends on the kind of fall that’s needed! The technique for falling down stairs like, where Rocky runs up the steps, or where John Wick falls down the stairs a billion times in Wick 4 are different than if you’re falling down something smaller like a set from a house, or even narrower.

A big part of it is wearing the correct protection when doing the stunt. We have everything from insert pads like these bad boys (https://store.afstunts.com/products/action-factory-polymer-insert-pad-2-0) to full on tactical armor. The latter being great as you can wear both an insert and tactical knee pads and you’re just covered in protection on your hard points.

But back to the narrow vs wide stair fall!

So for a wide stair you literally can lay along the steps, and just ‘roll’ down the steps! You keep your hands to your chest and kind of put your elbows into the L shaped nook of the stair, and place your way down however many you need to fall. For narrow steps, it’s a little more tricky as you kind of have to ‘ping pong’ your way down the staircase, but the concept is the same. You’re just going over your head as well since you can’t fit horizontally down the steps.

The concept though is you get your sharp points (knees elbows etc) into the L part of the step, and kind of control your fall down the steps however you need production to have you fall. You also are generally doing this at a pretty controlled rate. They can speed it up in post-production if they want to.

Fun fact, the way stunts gets their pay is your flat rate, plus ‘bumps’ for doing individual things. So the guy who’s fighting and doing just background action will get one rate, the guy who’s on fire, getting wire pulled across the shot and lands on the hood of a car is getting extra pay for all of those extra things he needs to do.

I got it! My laptop with all my user information died, and I had to wait for a charger to get here to get back on this computer. I’ll answer this in the general thread!

You rule!!!

It’s cool I’ll figure it out!

Weird in the upper corner it’s showing me that I need to login!

Oh interesting. How do you get onto that instance? Do you need to make another account for that?
