Watchmen was a documentary series.

FromSoft, you can make anything you want and I’ll probably buy it, just stop putting jumping puzzles in your games, at least until you figure out good jumping mechanics first.

She knows that if anyone wants to get to her, they have to go through you, and the bigger you are, the harder it is.

They’re not trying to destroy your thesis, they’re trying to make sure it’s complete and sccurate. In theory, the only person who knows the material is you, so they can’t just ask anyone else.

I never really understood why they call it a defense. Nobody’s going in there trying to insult or fight it.

The game is very frequently on sale at 50% off. That’s basically the regular price at this point.

Yeah, it’s not about your sexuality being a point of pride. It’s just about being proud of who you are as a person who is part of a minority group. Nobody’s thinking that being gay is better than being straight, they’re just trying to be proud of who they are.

Also tourism shows that the middle class elsewhere can afford to travel. You don’t hear people complain about Indonesian tourists in Europe, for example. But Bali on tge other hand is truly suffering the consequences of Western tourism.

Many of those words aren’t actually limited to those use cases, but they are used there because they have very specific meanings. A plaintiff, for example, is the person lodging a complaint. Doesn’t have to be a legal complaint, but in legal terms it makes it very clear who we’re talking about.

Others are just expressions. A snap election is just when you call an election earlier than the scheduled one. It’s essentially a nickname for something more complicated. Same goes with casting a ballot. It just means to toss your vote in for the count. It’s just the expression that stuck because it sounds fancier than just saying “voting.”

Why would I spend all that money to buy a solar oven when I’ve already got a perfectly good mailbox?

More fun to vary the pitch and length of the beep rather than the number of beeps.

Bernie would never allow robots to be evil, but he would allow them a little salami.

But six pairs is twelve. Twelve of a kind!

Also who knows how many loopholes. Apparently the word of God is very precise and is meant to be followed to the letter, except when it’s inconvenient, in which case you hang strings between your house and your neighbors’ so you can wander the neighborhood when you’re supposed to stay home.

That guy looks like the weekly bad guy on a episode of Starsky and Hutch from the 70’s

You’re not wrong, but that’s also just a persona he plays, the hair and mustache are both fake. I don’t know how close the persona is to the real person, but I’m sure he’s hamming it up to some extent, just not enough to be a good person pretending.

Simple explanation, the higher the bitrate, the more data is dedicated to each frame to be displayed, so the higher the quality of each frame assuming the same resolution. This means fewer artifacts/less blocking, less color banding, etc.

Lower bitrate is the opposite, basically. The video is more compressed, and in the process it throws out as much information as possible while trying to maintain acceptable quality. The lower the bitrate, the more information is thrown out for the sake of a smaller filesize.

Resolution is the biggest factor that affects picture quality at the same bitrate. A 1080p video has a quarter of the resolution of a 2160p video, so it takes much less data to maintain a high quality picture.

Lots of waterproof clothes about to disappear from the shelves. Gore-tex for example is just teflon-coated fabric.

Le 1er juillet c’est la fête du Canada aussi, faut pas oublier. Y’a beaucoup de jeunes qui viennent boire chez nous parce qu’en Ontario faut avoir 19 ans.

columbo deserves a reboot

Nah, we don’t need everything we’re nostalgic for to be rehashed for the newer generation.

You sound like a fun person.

I’m into thicc Earth conspiracies
