@LukeAlmighty nothing special that i remember... it has a bit of displacement so of course it's not completely round, then there's depth of field so it gets blurried, and finally the material it's mixed with a transparent shader so it let's the color of the hdri to pass through so it appears to be far beyond the atmosphere.

@matrix i have a distinct memory of playing it on an ipod at a funeral wake and accidentaly turning the ringer on and it playing loudly and that memory is stuck with me for some reason

@LukeAlmighty @graf “I believe this might be because of unemployment benefits.”

The problem for someone like your friend is that the most basic thing about US unemployment benefits is that if you’re offered a job comparable to your old one, you’ve got to take it.

In theory, of course, and you’ve got to document your efforts, like sending out resumes, implicitly “asking for interviews” as you posit. But I think insincere behavior like ghosting the company at any point would be just as problematic. In theory, again, our individual states’ unemployment systems have to be totally overloaded right now, even if they’re pretty automatically accepting “lost job because of COVID” claims.

Maybe they’ve computerized to the point where you’ve got to “check some boxes” every week or so, but I doubt for very many people there’s real human beings paying attention, doing followups with companies etc.
