they mean that the insurance would only approve one model. i don't think there are any open source pace makers though.

IDK, the people deciding that only care about money. i bet it will replace the expensive ones first. this will probably make many things even more shitty, but it's not like anyone's going to replace the like 8 tech companies that do anything. even if they all suck even worse

what are you watching that's uhd and high ftamerate? is is something you made? I've never heard of anything releasing like that because yeah, most people can't play that lol.

you're right, this is more like the 1968 Columbia protests. you know, the one where they put flowers in the barrels of the rifles.

America has its own long and storied history of killing protestors and strikers. we don't need to look anywhere else for analogies.

i mean, if you could appreciate it anywhere it would be a lot better. how the fuck do so many people actually not have ANYWHERE BETTER to take pictures of wildflowers than the side of the freeway. that really highlights a big problem with Texas. they may have had beauty, but they bought, sold, rented, and ruined most of it until there's only a trash covered vestige at a dangerous crossing left. it's the biggest contiguous state, and somehow has nearly the least public land.

yeah, they should've picked a more common artist. i thought it was a trick about knowing the lead singer of a band at first.

tradition in this context is not "what you're company typically does" it's "what society typically does". that's why they're considered untraditional. because you have to exist when the rest of the world is asleep and that makes many things hard to do.

oh yeah, i always wondered what the hell he was supposed to be.

my buddy had his keep crashing during the intro sequence as they were running to the vault. when he checked the discord it seemed many were having this issue and that it was fixed by turning debris off.

you could also just do basically the same thing with Android, but instead of locking it you just turn it off and it'll be locked the same way when turned back on.

recent shows that were way worse than the manga: faraway paladin, helck.

anime famous for this issue: berserk, tokyo ghoul, any Junji ito project

popular older anime that have this issue that aren't as talked about: blue exorcist (though that one's currently getting a retcon heavy sequel) trigun (the new 3d series is way more manga accurate) honestly... mostly any 90s-2000s action series. they were really caught in the weekly production aspect of it and it led to terrible pacing and tons of filler. things have gotten better.

like, one piece is terrible to watch straight. i can't recommend anyone actually slog through what the anime was doing during dreserosa. watch the one pace fan edit, or read the manga.

Naruto is another one that got horribly butchered. especially at the end. straight up, as soon as the infinite tsukiyomoi starts, just switch to the manga for like 10 chapters, then go back to the anime. it'll save you OVER 100 EPISODES. you can't even just skip them as filler either. they just took each panel and stretched it into an entire arc. that means that there's still important shit happening that you can't actually miss... it's horrible. they just couldn't let it die. they wrung that shit out like a dirty wash cloth. shameful.

adaptation is hard. you can't truly capture every last detail of a manga in an anime. it also leads to things that make more sense in manga pacing coming through a but funny at times. for example, this is largely where the whole giant anime attack thing comes from. in manga, that build up tension for a free pages then there's like one giant full page glorious piece of art showing a single punch connect. that's just how manga moves. that's why some people really anime original action series. the action is likely to be more dynamic and fluid. take cowboy bebop for example. that action would've translated terribly into manga. it's to small, to precise, too fast, and moves too much. that's why it's really worthy of praise when they go above and beyond to make something really work well.

hell, sometimes you can even make something completely different that people still like. take the shining or Lord of the rings for example. most people don't even realize how incredibly different lotr is in the movie from the books. the movies have a much much broader appeal be kinda almost sorta inverting the message of the books and pissing all over their intent. they're supposed to be anti war stories that show how horrible war is and that there is no honor to be found in it. there is only chaos and carnage and loss. the heroes aren't bold and brave and strong. they're terrified and panicked and none of them want to be there. none of the battle scenes are long or detailed. that's all the movies. there are no great victories. they only ever barely escape the ever encroaching enemy at a great loss and with much remorse.

the movies are action adventure films about Big strong heroes triumphing over the bad guys. that's almost the opposite of what Tolkien wanted. and yet, they're so popular. like, are the movies bad? no. they're great movies that are tremendously entertaining and captured my heart and soul as a child.

I don't have the energy to go into the shining the same way anymore... but my point is, adaptation is tricky. you'll never make everyone happy and maybe that doesn't matter.

i wanna visit that one Christmas in world war one where they all got over their shit for a day and had snowball fights and stuff. play in the snow with some of the most damaged and traumatized people in history.

i mean, this story sounds like it's from pre-release testing, or maybe a trade show demo showing a pre-release build. it not working this way in the release version just makes sense, and doesn't mean this is a fake story.

stopped working for me like 2 years ago

i work in video. i have one monitor as my primary "work" space. that's where i put my timeline, or whatever I'm working on the most in that moment. sometimes it's color controls, sometimes it's keyframes and effects controls.

monitor 2 is actually my best monitor. that's the video clean feed. that's my big color accurate monitor.

monitor 3 is bins and scopes and effects and whatever other control surfaces and monitors i might need.

well, sounds like those eunuchs sure proved them wrong about the power hungry thing.

WOW! That IS a fun fact!

For another helping: this is also why they were used in at least one culture I know of as servants to the Queen or the King's consorts. Didn't have to check paternity if you castrate every other man they ever see.

There's times in human history that it was done to humans for the same reasons. Eunuchs were just castrated human servants. Some were even done just to keep their voices from dropping so they'd sing in a "castrato"

You can buy back a lot of stuff, but only from the scrap merchant in the border town. The new black cat guy. Valuable things that you sell will end up in his shop sometimes, though I don't know when or why yet.

Ok, but using a hapsburg as an example of what inbreeding looks like isn't very representative. That family specifically wanted to look like that. they were very proud of their "noble countenances". That's more the result of the generations of selective breeding by the previous generation choosing marital successors. They're more pugs really, Rather than examples of the general effects of incest. If you want more general results of inbreeding, maybe look to the Whitaker's. Though, they also likely have other preexisting mental health issues in their family, and there's no data about their actual family tree.

In reality tough, it's likely one of those things that's not as consistent as "they get all fucked up looking after x amount of inbreeding" there's just too many factors at play. And I mean, speaking of pugs, they're no more inbred than golden retrievers. Golden retrievers are beautiful and loving dogs that will die to cancer by the age of 10. So even when inbreeding issues do manifest, it's not always going to make you ugly.
