Because at lower frame rates your eyes don’t add motion blur. So you use the processing power to add it. If I had a higher refresh rate monitor I wouldn’t need motion blur.

My side hustle is real estate photography. Very flexible timing and I already had all the equipment. If I didn’t already own the equipment I wouldn’t have done it.

Only for very specific games, and only because I don’t have a high refresh rate monitor.

If I’m in Forza driving 200 km/h I shouldn’t be able to see the bricks I’m flying past. With my low refresh rate monitor I can, so adding just a hint of motion blur really helps add that flourish of immersion that I can’t get with my setup. But that’s again very specific games and only because I cap out at 60fps.

It’s not going to be over until one of them concedes which isn’t likely to happen quickly. So I’ll relax after Christmas.

They are the reason the Soviet Union was a near peer to the USA during the cold war. When the Soviet Union lost Ukraine they lost their engineering and manufacturing sectors.

Heck up until the Russian invasion of Crimea in 2014, Ukraine was the one servicing all of Russia’s nukes.

My stove has been blinking 00:00 for as long as I can remember. Lost power briefly about 6 months after I moved in and I never reset the clock.

I work in the event industry as a production manager, I get to write these things.

As is typical when you have a large crew there will be dietary restrictions, some of them can be deadly. So before me or any of my crew starts unloading the truck I need to have a cold Dr. Pepper in my hand. If I don’t, we doordash, we do not eat the food provided.

I always say everyone should see requiem for a dream, but no one should watch it. That film does more for stopping drug abuse than any government program ever did.

This is the same AG who says he wants more teen pregnancies.

I setup and run events. Nothing particularly messy, but very sweaty. On setup days I can do a half marathon just by moving equipment to where it needs to go.

I’m not smart, but as I understand it, states sue Google, case goes into discovery, Google gives up it’s evidence, states refuse to give up theirs, judge forces states to give up their evidence so discovery can continue. Although I do not agree with Google as far as the case goes (antitrust over google ads) this seems like it’s following SOP and shouldn’t be news.

Oh, we’re not that organized. The only thing that they really do is require some form of government ID. They don’t really care what they just need to identify you.

They don’t check if you’re allowed to vote, or if you’ve already voted before you vote, as those machines aren’t connected to the internet, so there’s no database to check against. It is checked after the fact when they start counting as the counting machines are connected to the internet.

We had an issue about a decade ago where they were able to hack voting machines on election day, ever since then voting machines aren’t allowed to be connected to the internet.

Where I am there’s simply too many people to have a single location, so there are 4 different locations you can vote at in the district.

Tools, it’s really handy when I needed a thermal camera for a project and didn’t feel like spending hundreds for a tool that would get used once.

We were all 18/f/cal come on man…

I have always strived to keep between 1-2 month’s worth of expenses in savings at all times. That small buffer has allowed me to ride out almost everything without going into debt, then when I am in debt I pay it off as quick as possible.

The worst thing you can do is get on a payment plan, as that normalizes having debt and you end up paying thousands in interest. All interest is, is you giving your money to someone else. I like to keep my money, so if I have to live off of ramen and hot dogs for a couple months, so be it.

That’s a different kind of special.

Manawanui, the navy’s specialist dive and hydrographic vessel, ran aground near the southern coast of Upolu on Saturday night as it was conducting a reef survey

I think they found the reef.

As a former employee of McDonalds we’ve had these for a while, they just weren’t on the public menu.

Random name, npc, map generators for tabletop roleplaying. It’s just text and lookup tables. You can fit a lot of that in 1gb.
