The eternalness is magic so the fall trees never run out of leaves and the spring plants never finish growing. You'll at times transition from late season back to early season.

Let's say they have roughly the same usable volume.

They follow you everywhere and will mysteriously appear whenever you're sure you've shaken them. If they die while in your care then you turn into that animal.

The hen's poop contains all the normal pathogens and smells, it also enjoys shoulder rides and isn't afraid to peck you. The snake will eat things it cannot digest if you don't stop it and will occasionally try to eat things it cannot even swallow.

The hen enjoys talking about cocks while the snake is vocal about its rather questionable political views.

It is an utter tragedy and travesty what happened yesterday. RIP Richard Simmons.

That alt-text is lacking a few minor details.

"belongs to the sex class"... The heck. Such a meaningless circular definition just to provide a veneer of justification for her transphobia.

I like the implications of shirt genetics between the grandmas and the mother. But I'll need to whip out a punnett square to understand what combines with black "metal 💀" to result in plain white with frills.

The ability to learn from other people without needing the same first hand experience is a hallmark of intelligence. It's one of the things about our species that allowed us to develop past just being yet another animal in the wild. Education is largely based on that principle; your history teacher didn't experience the horrors of trench warfare firsthand.

So I wouldn't call social media insanity so much as potentially addictive, which can cause you to overindulge in those behaviours. Admittedly addiction can feel like insanity when you're in the throes of it.

I was reading an article on the new LG display with a refresh rate of 7680Hz and it says:

While a typical refresh rate for a monitor might be 60Hz-240Hz, an outdoor display designed to be viewed from a distance needs to be much higher

The idea that there's an intrinsic link between refresh rate and viewing distance is new to me and feels unintuitive. I can understand the need for high brighteness for far view distance. I also could understand refresh rate mattering for a non-persistent (CRT) display. But for an Led display surely you can see it far away even if it refreshes once a second?

Refresh rate normally needs to be high enough to avoid pixels "jumping" between refreshes on high resolution displays, so wouldn't higher view distances allow you to decrease the refresh rate?

Is the article just spouting bullshit? Or is there an actual link between refresh rate and view distance?

How about we start with the cheek and see how we both feel from there.

It's for the "Fusion Drive." It was just used as a cache basically. You had a larger, slower drive behind it for capacity, this just held frequently accessed data.

It's a "best before" date not an expiration date, it might still be good!

This can also save you shoveling/plowing your driveway, simply drive over the accumulated snow at high speed. Make sure to avoid getting stuck however.

Makes me kinda wish that when defederating you could select a one word label for why. Like a fixed list with several options like pedo, spam, harassment, abandoned, etc and a default of other. Make it a bit easier with a big list like this to say, oh 1000 of these 1400 all selected "racism" when defederating so it's probably very racist and I should also defederate. But if it's a lot of "other" or inconsistent reasons maybe I should spend a bit of time digging.

Ya from the title I expected OP to be complaining because they don't own a torx head screwdriver/bit.

You're saying satire sometimes exaggerates its comparisons? I'm outraged!
