The easy way around this is to require passing regular fitness tests. If your obesity isn't an impediment to the fitness test, then it shouldn't be an impediment to your job.

That’s a misunderstanding. CRTs technically don’t have refresh rates, outside of the speed of the beam. Standards were settled on based on power frequencies, but CRTs were equally capable of 75, 80, 85, 120Hz, etc.

Essentially, the speed of the beam determined how many lines you could display, and the more lines you tried to display, the slower the screen was able to refresh. So higher resolutions would have lower max refresh rates. Sure, a monitor could do 120 Hz at 800x600, but at 1600x1200, you could probably only do 60 Hz.

Are we talking neon red "cherries" or Luxardo cherries? Cause I can respect one of those.

You don't even have to buy them. The jars at the supermarket aren't locked or anything.

OMG I would fucking destroy a handful of almonds right now.

I don't mind sponsorship segments as much. A good content creator finds a way to make those entertaining as well. And if they don't, a couple presses of the arrow keys does the job.

Oh hi, Bob!

Bob!

Multiplexing is a relevant term to look up for more information on the concept

The other day, I had ginger cookies smothered in mascarpone for dinner.

Can you write a program in HTML?

Voyager I and II are probes, not ships.

deflecting the plastic while it’s still molten

That was my first thought

I think those things have a maximum of 2500 lbs

Is that Cool Spot?

Odds are that any aliens sufficiently advanced to come here would be able to tell we have nuclear weapons.

Loose cables can also damage the port and themselves.

In most cases, everything works fine. Some people experience issues, but most don't.

I watched a stream of it. It looked like a good time with friends in voice chat, but I wouldn't want to play it with randos.

I also don't think it would keep me hooked for very long. Probably a session once in a while. I can't see myself playing dozens of hours of it.

The characters are modeled to look like their actors, Charlie Cox in the case of Gustave. Though he definitely has a Robert Pattinson look to him.

You would still need to explore patents. Just because patents exist, doesn't mean they are in use. I would not be surprised to find out that a company like HP would hunt down and buy any patents that could interfere with its profits just to prevent others from using them.
