Ha, you nailed it. That's exactly what it was. Thanks for jogging my memory.<p>Back then Maya seemed like this unobtainable, magical machine for producing impossible imagery. When I finally got my hands on it, I was so disappointed to realize I still needed skills to make it do the cool things. I was ~16 and pretty clueless. I just knew Maya was used for the crazy stuff I was seeing in cut scenes from games or special effects in movies.

> Like famously a $0.25 acetaminophen pill that somehow magically costs $10 in the hospital. I guess there's some nice individual packaging.<p>When my first child was born the nurses had a terrible time drawing blood, so they gave him sugar water to calm him down billed at $40/5ml.

I would encourage anyone reading this thread to expand the greyed-out comments. There's honestly something really sinister going on here which goes way beyond opinion.<p>There's also some sort of branching strategy happening to cut off points which criticise the wanted fugitive Bibi Netanyahu. The genocidal former furniture salesman who will kill anyone and everyone to avoid his corruption charges.
