Yes, but it would be an effort that does not come down to any strength, machinery, physics or logic, because in his universe the Narrative Force is infintitely stronger than any natural laws.
And the hammer is ruled by a strong narrative: Thor's storyline.
So he would have to create a compellig narrative where he moves the hammer in a way that makes an interesting Thor story.
He can't just move it with a planet-size magnet powered by the sun itself, but he could move it with a planet-size magnet powered by the sun itself if it could be explained in a cool way and gives Thor a great struggle to overcome, causes tension to test his relationship to Odin, or moves his character arc.

As a hiring manager for nearly 4 years straight, dealing with way way more than 100 applicants for some positions, I know it takes minutes at most.
All hiring systems have ways to send batch emails to rejected candidates.
If you don't have a hiring system for some reason, it's still just hitting reply/ctrl-v/send to each applicant you move out of the "possible candidate" inbox.
Giving a reason "why" tends to hit people badly if they didn't specifically ask, so a stock response is not only easy to give, but the best response. Whether and how to respond in more detail to people asking for "why", is a less easy decision but good if you are able to.

There are a few benign-ish ways this happens, based on my experience from working on "the other side". They reflect shittily on the hiring manager, but not on you:
You got no immediate rejection because they did consider you valid for the position, just not first place. Then they got a match on the first place and stopped giving a shit about the applicant backlog.
They got too many applicants and threw half in the garbage.
Upper management put a freeze, or reduction, on hiring right as they put an ad out.
They have a person already picked for the position, but they will get in legal or corporate or PR trouble if they don't pretend to do a proper hiring process.
Their application process, human or computer, lost your CV.

Windows 11, got a crash to desktop right when the pod landed.
Updated graphics driver and tried a second time, and it went fine.
Not sure if the crash was pure random, or whether the driver update helped.

Thanks! It helped to get absolutely smashed and be abroad mostly surrounded by people I would never see again. Dunno how to really dance either, but just big movement versions of swaying to music like I do at home is passable.

AuDhD. I have it good. Three kids, steady career, house.
Tend to have a big honking burnout every 4 years that ruins me for months, but hopefully taking better care of myself now means I've seen my last one. Earplugs, ritalin, diet, job with mostly remote days, etc.
Haven't gone temporarily blind from touching my shampoo wrong in years.

They're given as algebraic, which are countably infinite since they can be mapped 1-to-1 with integers.

There are a few options, and I honestly say go for all of them at once:
- Take some (legit) self-assessments and see how they feel. E.g. https://embrace-autism.com/asrs-5/
- Find some ADHD resources. See if the techniques and tools help, or at least feel sensible. E.g. the book How To ADHD or various Youtube channels.
- Seek out a psychiatrist to assess you. It may or may not be ADHD, but something is bothering you that needs attention. They are usually good at figuring that out.

Skyrim is ported to RealityV3. It is still buggy. Hackers have successfully run Doom on a hydrogen atom. Gamers are shitting and yelling that someone put a Martian as a playable character in Red Dead Redemption MCMVII.

Card#1, Card#1 back, Card#2, Card#2 back, etc is what you need to get 9GB out of the 1,454,492 card numbers indicated. :)

They can contain binary data, but less of it. Not sure of the details, but you get 3k bytes if binary data or 4.2k alphanumeric letters. So no big difference all in all, which is a bit silly.
Also, many QR scanners can't handle binary data and freak out on null values or newlines.
We must consider the practical side of installing Windows 11 from a semitrailer load of cardboard.

Using 1,454,942 maximum size and minimum error correction QR codes in alphanumeric mode (byte mode is a lie) to store Base64-encoded binary data, you get roughly 4,687,823,124 bytes. 4.6 GB. If the cards are two-sided we get 9.2 GB.
Minimum size of Windows 11 installer image seems to be 8 GB, so it checks out!

While tools exist, like people already commented, remember that the result may not be what you expect.
A recreation whether by AI or a skilled voice actor will have slightly different intonations, emphasis, tempo variations, pauses and lack of pauses that are not your granfather's. It is very likely to feel flat and wrong in an unpleasant way.

It's a shit voting system. But the election is happening. How to effect a mass general strike large enough to change the voting system and introduce a new candidate with a chance of winning within two months?
Because that is needed in order to safely tell people not to vote.

In real, actionable, practical terms: What is the alternative you propose people choose, that will reduce the likelyhood of a fascist government right now at this election?
Deestan 4 weeks ago • 79%
That is a valid question in isolation, but bringing it up in discussions on where to vote is not leading to discussions or actionable improvements. It only functions to push voter disenfrachisement.
Not saying it's your intention, but it is your effect.
Voting least bad is important. Don't discourage it.
Working for better voting options is also important. Do push for that too, but find a constructive setting for it.

Contrary to most other performers, I think Angelina's performance sounds much better in the live perfoemances than the studio version.
I read about Shapez going 3D a few years back, and it initially sounded silly and pointless, but tried the new demo, and now I'm very excited for it to release in early access. Gameplay-wise it's pure distilled optimization puzzles, and the 3D graphics give it an abstract surreal vibe that I find very comforting.
This reminded me of myself age 8-9 when I would get stressed if I didn't "undo" any rotations of my body, or rounds around a table. Quite to the annoyance of my teachers and parents. Did anyone else have a phase similar to this?
Originally got the sub 8 hour achievement during a 2-player game in Early Access, back when you had to collect alien orbs to get science. It was before cliffs, and logistics bots were easier to get, so I was curious if it would be much easier or much harder. And not least I wanted to get the achievement "properly legitimately", i.e. single player release version. All in all it was easier than I feared! With proper settings I didn't even encounter the biters even though they were present, and the run was doable by just winging it with little pre-planning and no restarts. Yeah yeah it's a phone photo. I originally took it to brag on snapchat. :)
For those unfamiliar, DoshDoshington's Factorio videos tend to be anywhere from 50 to 500 hours tightly edited into 1-ish hour. Oh, and Happy New Year, everyone!
This popped up for me today, and I realized is very close to how I manage to trick myself to get things done even when it feels like my body's parking brake is on. To me it feels like just "building momentum" in any way helps. If I'm in working mode, it's easier to pick up a cleaning task than if I'm in sofa mode. Sometimes just cleaning some lint from the table is enough to get the ball rolling. Does anyone else have this, or similar techniques?
This was the last Cold Take that Frost made for The Escapist/Gamur. After being stuck a few weeks due to nobody left at The Escapist knowing how and where to publish already finished videos, they released it and a few others today. For those who followed the recent Escapist news, this episode appears inadvertently prescient. Note that he still continues the series on https://www.youtube.com/@SecondWindGroup
