Your suggested argument is too broadly-worded for their intentions. It would allow Obama or Clinton to run again. Last time they tried to push this shit, it was something along the lines of "any president who's been elected to two non-consecutive terms would be eligible for a third." That wording uniquely qualifies Trump while keeping two-term Democrats disqualified.

Wow, who would have thought that electing a rapist would have complicated the release of the Epstein Files?

Doesn't seem like she directly named Trump, so I would think she's legally in the clear. But I'm not a lawyer.

Fuck that driver indeed. 70 mph on a road with flashing reds and a stop sign? On a rural road near Key West? I can only assume "rural road" implies not US-1, and while I haven't driven the area outside of US-1, I can't imagine there's too many roads with speed limits over 45.

Could be that there's a door or window that's contributing a lot of light down low, spilling under the mattress.

You rolled a nat 20. Increase the circle of your AoE by 10 feet.

Surprisingly, the Titanic was still significantly larger than the current largest private motor yacht.

More unbelievable is the implication that the average applicant spends $5-6 in the vending machine

He was sentenced. The sentence was effectively a judicial shrug.

Well as of tomorrow, weather modification will be illegal in the state of Florida. As such, Democrats will be powerless to help in the state most likely to see a hurricane.

From the perspective of the consciousness of the patient, it would be a change of the body, not the mind.

Many summoning circles require a sacrifice, and this one is no different. This one requires a sacrifice of AC to summon DC.

So comply... maliciously.

Keep the doors open with the plants no longer in operation. Turn the facilities into museums chronicling archaic power generation. Retain the staff as curators and tour guides.

Type S? Not an Acura fan?

I don't want to alarm you, but we're now 22 years past your graduation. "Almost ten years" and then some.

I was interrupted before I submitted this comment, and I see you've gotten some replies since I wrote the draft, but my comment goes a little deeper, so I figured I'd still add on.

FALD and mini LED are similar in function, but mini LED has a couple advantages. Since the actual LEDs are smaller, you can place a larger quantity of them behind the LCD panel than traditional LEDs. This allows for more dimming zones to reduce the halo effect, and also enables higher peak brightness which means better contrast.

IPS and VA refer not to the backlight system, but to the actual liquid crystal display panel that sits in front of the backlight. The LCD itself is like an array of microscopic window shutters that can turn clear or black. By placing this LCD behind a color filter layer, the LCD can control light passing through each subpixel (red, green, blue) of the filter layer to produce the appropriate color for each pixel. Each panel type (IPS, VA, TN, etc ) has its own set of advantages and disadvantages when it comes to cost, response time, image ghosting, viewing angle, color accuracy, contrast, etc. Each of those panel types could be paired with an edge-lit backlight, FALD backlight, or mini LED backlight.

OLED is a completely separate technology altogether. Instead of putting an LCD filter layer in front of a backlight, OLED puts individual white LEDs behind each red, green, and blue subpixel of the color filter layer. That means instead of a liquid crystal layer blocking out backlight (which is imperfect and still bleeds light, hence the FALD halo effect), an OLED simply does not emit light for that pixel/subpixel, allowing perfect blacks and better color accuracy.

QLED and QD-OLED trade the white LED backlights and white OLED panels for blue light and discard the traditional color filter layer, replacing it with a sheet of quantum dots that use some kind of black magic optical fuckery to change blue light into red and green as well.

For those who don't know, Qantas once repaired a damaged aircraft that would've otherwise been a write-off for the sake of maintaining their perfect no hull-loss record.

You left out an 'N.' I'm gonna have to escort you out of the comment section.

But we did recently invent a new color, or at least a new way to perceive color.
