Earlier this morning, while reading the final Discworld novel, I came across this reference Terry Pratchett made to Monty Python. It’s not my favorite thing to come out of Monty Python, but it made me smile.

Is that really part of Star Trek lore? Because…that’s terrifying if so.

That means the perfect resolution for TVs is actually QHD.

And yet QHD would be comparatively awful for modern content. 720p scales nicely to QHD, but 1080p does not. I suspect that’s why 4K has been the winner on the TV front, it scales beautifully with both 1080p (4:1) and 720p (9:1) content.

That graph is fascinating, thank you!

May I suggest:

Doc took one look at my arteries and started to cry
Them surgery boys pumped propofol now I’m high
Singin’ this’ll be the day that I die…

Yes, their father is Al Reddy Tutcher

Storms I hope that’s true.

It’s been a long day without you my friend…

Hey now - any directional system not making use of Turnwise and Widdershins is one I want no part of.

And obviously going toward the main hub of the spacecraft should be called “Hubwards.” And away from the main hub, out toward the edge of space, we could call something like “Rimwards.”

I feel like if they had video of him porking a young blonde and calling her “Ivanka” he’d realize the damage it could do.

No no, that would give too many senators to people who understand the value of universal healthcare. Can’t have that.

I am all Ken M on this blessed day.

General aviation accidents (what I believe this was) are relatively common. They happen from time to time. This shouldn’t be surprising, not all pilots are experienced, not all planes are maintained perfectly, etc, when the government isn’t regulating it as thoroughly.

Commercial aviation is a different story. It’s incredibly safe, and continues to be. That may begin to change in the USA as hiring freezes make already strained ATC even more overworked. Also FAA and NTSB appointments becoming political can’t be good for anyone. And this administration seems to think all regulations are bad, despite most of them being written in blood.

For now, flying is still exactly as safe as it was a year ago.

Nah, a cursory glance at the article shows it’s about reversing a push by the Biden administration to transition federal locations to using paper straws.

Last summer, the Biden administration announced an initiative to reduce single-use plastics in federal operations. 

In addition to working with the private sector, other stakeholders, and state, local, Tribal, and Territorial governments to reduce the impact of plastic pollution, it planned to phase out federal procurement of single-use plastics from food service operations, events, and packaging by 2027, and from all federal operations by 2035.

Beautiful.

You bastard.

This is how I use coin flips (for two options, obviously).

Make sure to stock up on fungi for the nighttime, too.

We do. It's the 2nd amendment. Literally what it was written for, the forceful reclamation of democratic freedom should it be taken by a tyrannical leadership.

Except that’s not what it was written for. That’s a modern interpretation.

The 2nd amendment was written because Madison believed a standing army would make the Federal government too powerful, so he didn’t want a large standing army. He wanted each state to have a militia made up of citizens. He changed his mind on the matter after the War of 1812.

You know the 2nd amendment wasn’t about allowing overthrows of the government because the government put down rebellions with weapons in the years following its adoption.
