And how much compute time/power does “decompressing” take compared to a jpg?

Besides I think they’d be more well rounded working a well paying trade for example than going tens to hundreds of thousands in debt hanging out in echo chambers and coming out wit…

Cursive is optimized for fountain pens I believe. As long as we have pencils and ballpoint pens, using cursive is just a holdover from olden times with no actual pros compared to s…

I do wonder is cursive really that hard to read without any lessons? It’s still English just with a awkward font. Writing cursive has a lot of rules but I would think most GenZers …

I mean the store is making you do their very low paid tedious job for free on an inferior machine. It’s not exactly a barrel of laughs. I usually self checkout but I have an issue …

Also go work somewhere close to your standards. From experience I can tell you that this is a battle you can’t win in a reasonable time table. There’s a reason it is the way it is …

I thought we were over this in like June 2020. Do they still have that policy? Trust the science!

I mined for a few weeks out of curiosity and I figured it would work as a heater downstairs since it was winter. I would think that the best move was to sell your GPU about a month…

Finally we beat inflation

I had that a few years ago on those scummy up sell warranty plans they trick you into buying at car dealerships. I had to fax a signed cancellation form. Thankfully there are Web s…

True but you also get more “free” services for your tax payments - especially if you have kids.

None of my kids would ever even take a pacifier. There are so many different babies that there is certainly no one true method.

If they lowered their hiring bar I’d be happy to do Jack shit all day too

It’s also dumb since I’ve had that title for almost 10 years now but I’m easily 3-5x better at my job than when I initially got it. I do get paid more which is nice and work at a b…

There’s a baseline of material that can be quite high before you get diminishing returns. Moving to a nicer neighborhood or a bigger place instead of having a 3 person household in…

At least you get a crappy android now. Not too long ago they were peddling gold encrusted dumbphones as some kind of a tasteless luxury item Edit: they still have those too https:/…

I believe some driving sims support extra wide field of view so that you see the sides of the car interior. I’ve seen that with a multi monitor “curved” set up but I’m not sure if …

Because they like money ?

That would be my main worry that it starts splintering off too much. Maybe they’ll merge or kill off some of the storylines. The hobbit and the elf outpost seem like plot devices t…

I seriously missed some weird angry mob. I watched the first two episodes yesterday out of curiosity and it was the most compelling TV show I’ve seen in years. I’ve read the books …

I mean it’s a fantasy show. They wanted to show that Galadriel was a elite fighter and they succeeded

Linux and Nokia were at one point the Crown Jewels of Finnish tech. One still remains. Would’ve been a match made in heaven but I believe they needed Microsoft’s cash to keep the c…

Make it do the interview loop for me and I’ll pay a few thousand for a license
