Yeah, but fine print isn’t always binding.

You can leave someone in Port if they were dawdling back from the bar.

You can’t leave an 80 year old woman alone on an uninhabited island in the heat with no water.

This actually seems to happen semi-regularly in Queensland. This is certainly not the first time.

You’d think they’d have some kind of infallible double redundancy tag out system.

One wonders how often this might happen and go unreported.

Edit: oof. Sorry, I just read the article. Looks like she didn’t die because she was left behind. Rather, she fell off a cliff and died which is why she didn’t board the boat prior to it’s departure. Still. Wouldn’t hurt to have some awareness of how many passengers had re-boarded the boat.

I have a 32 inch 1080p monitor as my secondary

I honestly find this hard to believe. I have 2x 32 inch monitors on my desk and in 1920x1080 they’re ugly to the point of distraction.

if you are going big why spend the money on a 4k one if you are just going to use scaling anyway?

4k isn’t that expensive. you can get 32 inch 4k monitors for a few hundred dollars.

Scaling is not the same as reducing the resolution.

There’s this thing called scaling that allows you to see things in an appropriate size but higher definition.

Anyone who uses spreadsheets regularly wants the extra real estate. Anyone who works with complex documents wants the extra real estate.

It’s not about more dots on your 24 inch, it’s about larger monitors that can display more stuff simultaneously. Instead of 4x 1080p monitors you can have 2x larger 4k monitors. Offer this to anyone who makes money by staring at a screen all day and they’ll tell you it’s worth it.

I didn’t even know this was a thing before reading that article but I’m going to engage in some wild supposition.

I’m going to suppose that many of those in the outgoing presidents cabinet were heavily invested in companies involved in industries such as production of construction materials, transport of those materials, and of course construction.

I also predict that in the not so distant future they will find significant deficiencies in the buildings which have been constructed, such as defective materials, insufficient concrete density, insufficient foundations, and so on.

What about the vast majority of people who stare at screens for work?

Frame rates aren’t really important, it’s making things more readable in less space.

The cost / benefit is a completely different dynamic.

Subjective obviously.

The resolution (4k in this case) defines the number of pixels to be shown to the user. The bitrate defines how much data is provided in the file or stream. A codec is the method for converting data to pixels.

Suppose you’ve recorded something in 1080p (low resolution). You could convert it to 4k, but the codec has to make up the pixels that can’t be computed from the data.

In summary, the TV in my living room might be more capable, but my streaming provider probably isn’t sending enough data to really use it.

Oh man. Thais and Khmers have been killing each other since the dawn of time. Only an idiot would think this deal is any more meaningful than the last dozen. They probably only kicked off this time because they realised they could get a few free helicopters out of Trump.

Manageable.

LOL. There’s dozens of us here.

We pretty much are “completely owned” by corporations, but you could argue about the extent.

For example, I think we’re closer to Europe’s stance on big tech than we are to the USA’s.

A captured state refers to governments that are dependent on specific industries, and all governments are to some extent.

Gambling companies would provide a lot of tax revenue. They also contribute a lot of sponsorship / advertising revenue for sporting events. There’s also many millions of voters who enjoy gambling just how it is.

In summary, its not only industry lobbyists, gambling is a deeply entrenched industry.

I agree that we have a captured state - parties kinda cant really afford not to take donations from gambling companies.

I also agree that it really sucks to have our lawmakers playing sports with these assholes - that just sucks. I think it’s also pretty tone-deaf.

I also agree that it seems like this guy has performed this stunt for publicity, but I happen to feel strongly about this issue so I don’t really mind.

It’s like a machine that behaves as a bank teller, kind of automatically.

Seems like a real can / should problem to me.

Hard to believe this would entice anyone to purchase where a sexy lady couldn’t.

So, ah … yeah.

Governments can literally just spend money into existence.

I had to look it up because I didn’t remember. Aparently “the hot chick” from 2002:

SNL might have been first but not being from the US I’ve never watched that.

Sorry, I didn’t mean to be an ass. It’s a dumb movie quote. I hope you get some proper answers fam.

You could put your weed in there.
