I don't actually know how they do it in movies but from this one example I'm assuming it was industry standard but I could be wrong.

Other movies might do what you said e.g. airsoft gun or fake gun, with edited sounds later

I do find it hard to believe the industry standard is to use real guns with blanks but it may be that way. It's a lot simpler, but obviously more dangerous

And yes guns are very loud, after a gun goes off beside you, you will have a sort of numbing in your ear for a few seconds and you can't hear anything out of it lol

"the things that made Reddit Reddit years ago, before it turned into generic social media"

Bingo. From a financial standpoint reddit doesn't care about how it used to be. Being generic social media is worth more money to them

6 years to break even is probably a bit much, maybe 2-3

But it's your choice if you want to use it or not. I'm happy using the app with ads

If I was you I would just pay the 150 pounds.

The invoice looks pretty similar to garages because they tend to just be ran by one or two people and dont have sophisticated invoice generation. Their systems are old school and work off pen and paper, which is what your (or her) invoice was.

Also, you could argue that even if she didnt get the work done, 150 pounds sounds about right for a slight backup/bump into another car. If she wanted to pocket the money, or possibly wait and get the car fixed at a later date, that would possibly be her right too.

If the invoice is inflated (e.g. Its a fake invoice and a higher amount than you damaged) thats a different story. That would be fraud. But I am not sure 150 pounds is inflated. A worry about getting it done outside insurance is people will defraud you and make their mechanic produce a fake invoice, higher than the actual amount. But its hard to see that happened here given its such a small amount.

Invoice shows it was just a simple repaint which sounds about right

Why does it have 3 stars on the app store

On reddit you go to /r/place and can place a pixel on a certain place on this huge canvas of like... idk 5000 * 5000 pixels wide? Its a huge canvas of pixels. So you and your friend or another subreddit can try team up and conquer part of the canvas, lets say the bottom right corner. And then you can all work together and create a little flag or another picture/image like this one. I am not sure on the limit of how many pixels each user can post per minute, or the exact number of pixels, but its roughly something like 5000-10000 pixels wide and high

EDIT: This image you see would be a tiny portion of the entire canvas. You can tell because the resolution of 'Spez' for example is pretty bad, which means its only a few pixels wide. If it was taking up the entire canvas it would be perfect resolution and you wouldnt see janky edges

This is an example of the entire canvas at some point over the past few days. Its probably actually something like 50000x50000 pixels

I used GPT4 the other day and it worked perfectly for calculating formulas of straight lines on linear-log plots but maybe I was the 2%

Which is good because phishing sites suck especially when they start hitting high up on google searches

Yeah the fact you can't fix it as easily makes me a bit worried about Bambu but others have said they are pretty reliable

Depends where you live. If you live in the countryside in ireland, the public transport is severely lacking. A 20 minute drive requires you to take probably 2 hours of public transport.

Edit: After cycling for about... an hour to the train station, so probably 3 hours total

I've donated to wikipedia before because I feel its valuable to me for all the information it gives.

I might donate to lemmy if i feel its valuable to me for information or discussions
