[^]Quote: Hanrahan was the lead architect of the team that created the complex software known as RenderMan, which lets filmmakers turn images into photorealistic animations that can be blended with real-life scenes. Rendering determines which computer-generated images are visible on the screen for every frame, assigns them colors, and draws them. It brings an animation “to life.” In 2001 RenderMan became the first piece of software to win an Oscar. It has been used in 44 of the last 47 films nominated for an Academy Award in the Visual Effects category. Hanrahan later returned to academia and is now a professor at Stanford University.
Catmull’s contribution: From 1970, Catmull was part of the University of Utah’s ARPA program, where he came up with the first method to display curved surfaces on a computer. Up to that point, computer-generated images were all straight lines and polygons. While at Utah in 1972, Catmull created a short film called “A Computer Animated Hand,” which is one of the earliest examples of computer animation.

TIL, Catmull is a real person.

I hate abbreviations. It doesn't help that english is not my mother tongue, and that I'm not overly familiar with US, UK, or other english based pop culture.
Thankfully there are websites for that, but those are'nt often helful, when you find that a simple abbreviation can have dozens of meanings. See TIL - Definition by AcronymFinder[^]

It's not an acronym I recognise, but if I had to guess based on the context it might be "today I learned".
But if someone uses unrecognisable acronyms they probably don't want you to understand what they mean.

That would make sense.
I've never seen that acronym before though, and since it's not related to code/programming, I dislike it being used here.

sorry about that.
YMMV, but use Urban Dictionary: ymmv, it is better to internet lingo

I realised I can easily enforce a safe distance by simply not showering before I head to the stores.
Works a treat.

Just tuck a pants leg into your sock.
Same thing
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

In West Virginia it's eating "ramps" that does the trick

EAting onion or blue cheese also works.

My wife has declared that she will eat five cloves of raw garlic before leaving the house.
I'm in the doghouse because I replied by searching for an on-line shop that stocks military-grade gas masks.

I looked at the local governments 'Social Distancing' bulletin...
It looks like I have to start getting out more...
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Reminds me on that one Discworld novel. It was about grandma's goose fat, which properly repelled all infectants via this very mechanism.

Not showering not only keeps people away, also prevents water pollution and helps keep rivers clean. It is also important to eat garlic, smoke, drink alcohol and lack of oral hygiene. But those resources are circumstantial, not effective in case of nasal congestion, and most importantly: not prevent online communication.
If you really want a hermit top isolation level, simply show your PreSmartPhoneEraStupidNokiaPohne when people want whatsapp communication with you. That's totally effective: people not only discard you for not being able to use whatsapp: you are discarded because nobody wants any kind of relationship with a poor guy not even own a smartphone.
PD. It also helps a lot to speak and write very bad English 
Sorry for my bad English

precious bandwidth?
how slow is your link?
I actually downgraded from 1G to 500M and it's still plenty available with 4 active users (netflix, streaming sports, music...).
actually I reckon the 1G was a ripoff, speed test showed pretty much same actual throughputs before and after to o'seas destinations regardless [me and other 3 users] active or quiet.
