I am a champion of the idea of keeping daylight saving over standard time but I am more and more starting to think that the time change is the best compromise we are going to get with the people who insist on getting to work at 8am in the light.

You were Muzzy?

I’m not sure there are enough people on their side to hold a city like New York.

I didn’t say you could use arbitrary resolutions, I said you could change the resolution. I think it is you who is misunderstanding. CRT’s don’t scale, they change the number of pixels they show. If you show an 800 x 600 image on a CRT monitor, it will have 800 x 600 pixels. If you show an 800 x 600 image on an LCD, it will still have however many pixels the LCD has.

That doesn’t say that they can’t change their resolution just that they are limited to specific ones. LCDs physically cannot change the number of pixels being shown no matter what resolution you throw at it.

I don’t think that is correct.

I would rather see another two years before I call this totally an over argument. Most people are keeping phones for a few years now.

iPhones do this as well, I assume both will also do it without the alarm as mine has simply learned what time I take it off the charger normally.

They want to be able to campaign on it for the midterms. That’s why they were willing to do a year.

Looks like it was a brand new account too.

There was no spontaneous combustion in it, but you may be interested in Ricky Gervais’ The Invention of Lying. Not the best movie but worth a watch, especially if you like his style of humor.

CRTs can change their resolution and dot pitch, meaning that no matter what you show on it it’s always sharp and in native resolution.They are quite literally not worse in every single way.

That entirely depends on how far into the process they were. If you leave AMA or ‘Against Medical Advice’ insurance will often not cover any service that has been provided to that point.

I mean… looking at people like Neil deGrasse Tyson, you don’t need to be super rich for people to give your intelligence too much credit.

Oof, I am also a UI/UX and middleware person. I am going on 13 months of unemployment. The job market is nonexistent right now. I’ve started looking at a career change, even though I still have 60K in student loans.

This is a problem that trickled out of some other vocations. The general consensus in my line of work for the better part of 15 years has been if you want a raise find a new job. It’s been really weird that places don’t want to keep institutional knowledge or are apparently willing to pay more for fresh faces.

Yeah, the lunar lander was only just able to land on the Moon and then ascend back to the command module. To this day we still don’t have the technology to land something on Mars and then have that same thing ascend from Mars. We only recently mastered controlled descent after the ascent on Earth, now imagine trying to do it the other way around without refueling.

Any current human Mars mission would require sending the ascent vehicle to Mars autonomously with some sort of autonomous construction capability, or something like Starship being capable of doing on Mars what it is supposed to be capable of doing on the Moon soon. Which isn’t very likely, considering Mars is quite literally 100% bigger than the Moon.

When they sent the most recent Rover, they gave it the capability to collect and leave behind samples in sealed containers. The idea being that they would make a mission that would go get them later. It’s been over 10 years since the Mars 2020 mission was given the green light and the sample return mission has recently been all but canceled due to lack of feasibility and funding.

It felt so weird when Tim Walz was lauded as a “gift to progressives” when he was running on a platform of “kids deserve food”.

I wish edibles had any effect on me. Both my SO and I get nothing off homemade or store bought.

We once made some peanut butter cookies from a High Times recipe that we thought we made wrong, my mother tried one and was out of it for the rest of the day.

I think you are forgetting the other reason Valve cornered the market;

“One thing that we have learned is that piracy is not a pricing issue. It’s a service issue… The easiest way to stop piracy is not by putting antipiracy technology to work. It’s by giving those people a service that’s better than what they’re receiving from the pirates.”
