HEy - we're goin' server tippin' tonight. When the sysadmin is asleep we sneak into the server room. Then you just set your shoulder about halfway up the rack, brace your boots on the access floor and push as hard as you can. It's so fucking funny when they crash, but you gotta be ready to run 'cause if the sysadmin wakes up he's gonna be steaming mad. LOLOLOL
I with you. With the exception of UI scaling and readability of some text, I have almost zero reason to want more than he resolution on the deck. Heck, it's not even the res. Trying to squint at mini maps, even if the Deck were 4K, wouldn't really solve the issue. It's a little screen and unless I'm going to do that weird competitive gamer thing where you put your nose on the screen there's no value in upping the resolution but still requiring that I resolve better than an arcminute to read it. My gaming PC is hooked to a 55" 4K HDR screen. I play in 1080 and, honestly, don't notice any gameplay difference at 4K when sitting on my couch less than 10' away. I don't know why I would even want FHD on a 7" screen at a comfortable 18" distance.
Rom-com ending - the bully is gay or trans in the end
After-School Special ending - there are two bullies, one becomes friends with the LGBTQ+ kids and goes on to college, a well adjusted advocate and the other bully ramps up until he ends up in jail for accidentally killing a kid.
American ending - the bully ends up snapping, bringing his father's collection of semi-auto firearms to school and kills 20 people. The NRA and Conservatives circle the wagons and lift him up as a champion of CIS rights, have the LGBTQ+ friendly administration and school board fired, and every kid he bullied is seen in the final cut scene doing drugs in lower Philly as he walks by in a $3000 suit to his 500k/yr consulting job.
I have a mix. Ripping your own is in line with format shifting. Putting a cad into a cassette for use in your car that didn’t have a cd player is the old school equivalent. I believe it is a valid fair use case.
I'll be honest, I'm still having a problem understanding the draw of HDR. In about 99% of the places I watch...anything...there is ambient light which increases the black floor to a dark gray. I'm already losing the bottom 2-4 bits of depth to the room lighting and screen glare, giving me more fine control of gradients just makes for a slightly more nuanced (but still indistinguishable) dark gray (assuming I don't readjust my gamma every time I play, or when the train turns and the lighting is now coming from another direction) . The wider color gamut could be nice, but it would require a much, much better screen.
So many people forget this origin. Air mattress in your spare room (in SF), iirc.
As much as I, personally, prefer a house when away - either with the family or as a couple - this is one of the drivers behind the crunch in housing. People can’t possibly afford to by a place to live when the competition is a wanna-be property “entrepreneur” who is going to get 2-4x market rent by doing short term rentals.
Oh, you’re mistaking GDP for money going to workers here. Our (federal) minimum wage is still just $7.25/hr (€6.75/hr) and more than 1/3 of the states honor that. I think that’s even lower than Portugal. And there’s no healthcare with that (or any) wage/contract job.
Oh, sure, you can make money here, but it almost certainly won’t be as an average employee.
Yeah, but what’s “authentic”? If you make up a news story about a really really good campaign stop, is it just a bona fide news story or is it an advertisement? News about his history of financial or humanitarian success?
My guess is that there is no set standard in law. When you deny someone else “equal opportunity “ they can challenge the denial to the FCC and in court. Whoever loses the FCC appeal files a federal lawsuit. Then it would be based on case law for the definition of bona fide in similar cases and, barring that, similar usage of the term. You duke it out with $1000/hr lawyers in federal court for 2-3 rounds until the most recent loser appeals to the Supreme Court where they turn youdown or you argue if the FCC even has the power to compel such an “equal opportunity “ based on the law which allows the rule to be written.
At least that’s my layman’s understanding of the process.
The guys in my office started it about 15 years(!) ago - playing in the winter to stay in shape for golf in the summer. They were in their early 20s and I was pushing 40 at the time. People have come and left over the years. We picked up a pair of international PhD students two winters ago, then they graduated. We have about 12-14 on a group text and we do a roll call the night before to make sure we have enough to play. We use an open gym at the local rec center most of the year, and then commandeer outdoor courts wherever we find them when the rec center has kid camps in the summer. We've talked about joining a league, but we're all busy professionals, many with families and young kids, so time is tight. There's a lot of good-natured trash talk and we're all pretty gassed by the end of the hour. I hate it when I miss because I get a better cardio workout than anything I would do myself.
Time to find a different group or a less organized one. I play basketball once a week with a group of friends/friends of friends. It’s non-competitive; we shoot for teams to mix it up every game. When we get 8 (4 on 4) or more we play full court.
It’s fun, it keeps us all in (a little bit of) shape, and the lack of formal organization makes it easier not to burn out.
So many people are docking their decks. It's a shame that there aren't contacts on the bottom for a pogo connection. I wonder if that will be in the next iteration.
I was too young/poor to afford an assembler for my 6502 so I wore out the assembly long hand on a legal pad and then manually converted each operation to machine code.
Needless to say my programs done this way were exceptionally simple, but it’s interesting to understand the underlying code.
