There have been 60hz interlaced displays, that displayed alternate fields and so did a complete refresh 30 times a second. Actually, I guess that’s what NTSC broadcast TV was. It looks like ass in every other application, though.

A very “gamer” headline and title card. Not in a good way.

Notice how you are unable to actually address anything I say. You’re angry for unrelated reasons and you’re looking for places to put it, but you’re not smart enough to find appropriate places. Talk to someone.

What the hell? I think you must be parsing something wrong. OP presents this article as a case study on what could happen in Canada if Canada adopted the right to use guns for self defense as some people argue we should.

No! Perhaps that’s what you’re not seeing. Not in their minds it is not! Loyalty is important to the right-wing authoritarian psychology in a way that it is not to you and I. Not to say that it isn’t important, but it’s not so important that we’re willing to ignore everything we know for the sake of loyalty. They are going to answer every question on the basis of, “What answer reflects best on my side?” And I think that on a freaky but real level of their mind they will totally believe it.

30% of Canadians will ALWAYS vote for and unfailingly support the leading conservative party, no matter who the candidates are, no matter what the issues are, regardless of absolutely anything else. They vote in every election like it is a religious duty. Read this as ~6% of the reachable population.

I feel like this is a superstitious resistance. My face is the least sensitive identifying factor I have. My email address is more sensitive than my face!!!

Many online services derive value from the critical mass of users they home. This plus financial apps would include virtually all instances where facial images are required for security purposes. Self-hosting cannot solve this problem for you, you are effectively saying you will refrain from using these social and financial services at all.

It is commonly used for AML and other user-verification purposes.

Awww, leave little SQLite alone, stick to picking on MySQL

Every site on the Internet has to do this now. My goddamn home router has to.

I bet you can’t show any objective negative societal consequences.

That was clear, wasn’t it?

Great. You’ve worked for hospitals. But surely you can see, if you take a step back, how it kind of proves my point if that is what is informing your opinion about fucking universities.

You get that universities don’t get to decide whether or not education is free, right? You’re pissed off at the wrong people, YET AGAIN.

I don’t know anyone who graduated without debt and I know several people struggling to deal with their student loans, which don’t even go away with bankruptcy.

An invaginated magnetar.

Saw one whistle, once.

A medical sound is a surgical steel rod used for “sounding” (ie, probing) parts of the human anatomy. More generally, a sound is any probe or pole used to test depth or similar properties; mapping the depth of a pond with a graduated pole is “sounding the pond”.

Oh, I thought they meant the other kind of “sound” and I am like, that’s a lot of mass to send interstellar for a joke.

Few locals graduate with debt.
