If I have ice cream and then a piece of 100% dark chocolate, its tasteless. When I do keto and have a piece of 100% as my only dessert, it’s the sweetest thing in my life.

See, it’s easy. The lyrics that name foreign entities? Those are bad people. The domestic entities and events their country was involved in? Naturally-occurring events that simply happened. Just history.

Someone would have to know she has a dog. Presumably, the dog could be picked up by a family member or friend. The article doesn’t specify what happened.

Rob a bank? Go to jail.

Don’t rob a bank? Beleive it or not, straight to jail

Yes, Glorious was the one with his grandma. Clearly you have deeper exposure to him and Ryan so I’m now genuinely curious, what makes him corny? I was assuming his light/parody music, of which the corny sample is visibly represented in every thread on the topic. I don’t follow his personal life at all outside a few prior social/political statements

How much have you listened to? If your exposure is through radio or other mainstream stream playlists, then you’re probably hearing the same type of sample as you do Lady Gaga. The pop hits make money to fund the heartfelt art made with talent. There’s a few dozen songs past Thrift Shop, And We Danced, and Downtown. Shit, check out the video to Glorious

69 is older than that and it’s still here

You don’t need sight to drive a manual. You can feel and hear it. Even just feel it if the music is up. Hit the accelerator and it doesn’t go? Downshift. Let off gas and it decelerates too hard? Upshift.

Yes, you should have commented what you did, because [eventually] someone gave you an explanation of why what you thought isn’t as good as you thought it was. Also… Why be “smart” and “interesting” when you can be a collection of 300 tangential rabbit hole topics in a trench coat?

Me though? I chose to be a library of sick references in a hunched human form.

“I don’t remember you” was my idea to say the last 5 years have completely changed my life, but I’d probably assume I got Alzheimers ahead of schedule. One sentence is tough.

“It worked out” feels like what if want to hear, but that ignores growing global and national issues. Might even make me lazier, believing in some grand natural path, creating a paradox.

I could send details on the job move that made life better, but I’m on the path that took me out of that job already, so why try to change it?

Are monetary moves the only thing that would work for me? Not to change my route, but give me some more padding today?

Gas stations all added a credit surcharge in the 2008 recession and half of them never removed it.

My little angels

Verticalise
Organise Minimise

This sequence is how I can handle “useless” junk. I kept it because I thought it had use, yet it’s hard to find it years later when I think I can use it. Or worse, the organize step shows I have duplicates and triplicates. Shitpiles are the enemy. Waist-high piles are the path to gridlock.

Looks great. I should make another rack soon, actually.

I the words of Inception or something, I will not be my father

Ahhh, I didn’t know they were fixed. I knew E:D took a more realistic approach and that every game makes compromises with rendering and instancing, but I never thought to question orbits. Cool, thank you for the info.

I might be the only confused person in the thread, but I found this thread that explained more of what I wanted to know

I’m not sure what you mean by “proper” image stabilisation, but they certainly have at least so.me optical stabilisation. The lens slides around. If you turn it on and look at the camera while tilting it, you can see it move a bit inside the cover. It’s minor movement and was much more obvious when I had the outer lens off, but it’s a tiny camera. From experience with how it tracks objects when zoomed, I beleive it also slides around the active pixel region for digital stabilisation, if you will.

For ~150 other countries, yes, carriers charge per SMS

Interesting, thank you. Do the planets follow orbits at all? Did they just disregard the sun? Does not compute

E:D lets you refuel by scooping the corona, so visiting stars seems critical in exploration

It is a clear step above cropping a 16mp sensor to 2mp for zoom

Zoom is better than what it used to be and not outright a lie. I still have a dual camera phone (pixel 7, standard camera and superwide), and the picture is reasonable at 2.5x. It’s a 50mp sensor that, by default, only takes ~16mp pictures by only using certain sensor cells. Zooming uses a tighter group of those cells while still making a 16mp picture. But yes, zoomed pictures absolutely lose quality as the cropping starts hitting the limits of a tiny piece of do-all glass. My phone goes to 8x. Meanwhile, the flagship phones with an additional mild-zoom cameras bump up the baseline further. Still, only equivalent to like 40-50mm on a DSLR full frame sensor. Not enough for me, not for the price, so I still lug my DSLR around occasionally, as my eye tends to prefer framing with my phone above 3x - or about 50-85mm on a crop sensor.

Can someone explain the sun thing? I read the article, all it says “yes you can visit, but it will be a perilous journey”. What was the previous limitation? What is expected now?

I’m used to Elite: Dangerous. Ed ships have three travel modes: standard sublight (~1,000km/h), supercruise (0-2000c) between system bodies, and hyperspace jumps (wormhole from anywhere to the orbit of the main star of a system). So, in ED, you can supercruise up to any star, though it gets hot and it has an exclusion zone that drops you to sublight in the edge of its atmosphere. You can’t sublight further as the zone stops you. For reference of distance, it feels like you’re able to fly under the solar prominence loops, though they fade by time you reach the graphics sprite.
