Making things wiggle on a screen

I was wrong. Birds have been eating them off car grills.. Birds are smart. Insects are still dumb.

[Vismay Modi @vm2358]

I think insects have gotten smarter in the last decade. I hit much fewer insects on long road trips.

I put electrolytes in fizzy water and invented a delicious new soda.

The fanciest hotels make you pay extra for everything. Never had to pay for parking or raisin bran at Holiday Inn. Maybe that is peak opulence?

[Vismay Modi @vm2358]

My paywall bypass add-on is no longer unsupported, so now I just read headlines and make guesses about what happened.

[Vismay Modi @vm2358]

Today I saw a PREMIXED bottle of salt and pepper for sale at the store.

[Vismay Modi @vm2358]

I've tried all the toothpastes, and I keep coming back to regular colgate.

[Vismay Modi @vm2358]

I invented a new drink. Cold chocolate. Its cold hot chocolate.

Shopping at TJ Max is the closest I'll ever get to treasure hunting

[Vismay Modi @vm2358]

Everything has protein in it now.. even cheerios

[Vismay Modi @vm2358]

Pro tip: Buy raisins separately from bran. Don't let Kellogs tell you how many raisins you can have per bran

[Vismay Modi @vm2358]

Target has the nicest, smoothest shopping carts. Ikea is a close second, but so hard to steer when all 4 wheels turn

[Vismay Modi @vm2358]

Pistachios are the pringles of nuts

[Vismay Modi @vm2358]

Whats the point of a brazil nut? Is it just padding/filler for the rest of the nuts? I don't get it.

[Vismay Modi @vm2358]

Including me. They got me too 🤷‍♂️

[Vismay Modi @vm2358]

Isn't it a bit suspicious that suddenly everyone uses/advocates for sunscreen.......?

[Vismay Modi @vm2358]

Come learn more about Kaolin and Simplicits by playing with interactive physics simulation in a Jupyter notebook tomorrow with @Caenorst and Anita Hu

[Vismay Modi @vm2358]

Whoever invented popcorn is a genius

[Vismay Modi @vm2358]

@_jasonliu_ Totally! This can be fixed by implementing self-collision resolution on the splats

[Vismay Modi @vm2358]

(1/n) Happy to share that our paper, "Simplicits: Mesh-Free, Geometry-Agnostic, Elastic Simulations" will be presented at #SIGGRAPH2024
