The key line is:

Nelson bought the painting last year and then gave it a “not for sale” price of $9.85 million, said publicist Megan Hoffman.

It isn't a $10M painting until it actually sold for that much. This is just someone asking a lot for it, you can write any number you want on the sticker.

She was unpopular because she was mean to Data right after Measure Of A Man. I know she turned around some near the end but tbh I had a bad impression of her because of that.

You should really try embracing the 40fps screen refresh rate. It's actually half way between 30fps and 60fps by frame time so it looks a lot smoother than you'd think.

Nothing else has a screen that can actually do 40 Hz refresh so you usually can't use 40 fps because it wouldn't align with the screen refreshes.

40 fps unlocks a ton of games for the steam deck to run well.

Hard to believe they want to shut down the program. A few years ago I did a summer research program with the WVU math department and it was a really great experience.

I'm a kbin user because I didn't like the lemmy developers' politics. I also want to support software diversity so there are multiple implementations of federated reddit that work together.

Personally I haven't seen this bad content at all and I would be sad to not be able to read blahaj posts anymore.

I like using FreeBSD, the setup feels a lot nicer and more coherent than Linux in a lot of ways. I mainly tried it for native zfs.

The only downside is that nobody knows it exists so I have to compile things myself a lot or even patch it to get it to compile.

"Raise taxes" clearly also includes things like ending the 15% long term capital gains rate so they have to pay real income tax like the rest of us and fixing other things like that

It just means make them pay more by unspecified means

What you need is a reverse proxy server. All the major web servers have this feature.
