I think I read once that was due to outdated standards related to low resolution television sets. If too much text was on screen at once you couldn’t make it out on a standard definition TV. They kept doing it that way for a while after HD became ubiquitous just because that’s how they always did it.
I share your frustration though
They rage in favor of the machine Rage Against the Machine rages against
Whoops I thought that was Veronica. I guess it has been too long since I played
Right? Also, isn’t she gay? I love Veronica too, but I don’t think she’d want to have my babies
One of our two parties wins more when more people vote.
Therefore, the other party must oppose voting by the largest groups, such as young people and people who live in cities.
The less popular party also has disproportionate control of government policy.
Which is to say, they oppose democracy itself. It is only a question of degree
For YouTube content I really like the Tubular app on Android. It has Sponsorblock built-in, which you mentioned, but it also has an option to skip silence.
I find it particularly nice for gaming content, or any point where the YouTuber is reading text aloud.
I must have skipped hundreds of hours of pointless silence by this point
Does it not make tons of noise?
We have an ice machine in the freezer and often it is the loudest thing in the entire house. I also have a mini fridge in the office and the compressor on it runs every few minutes. It would be awful to try to sleep in there
The title for the sequel could be some kind of pun on how the film is faster and/or more furious than what would be reasonable under normal circumstances
When I got LASIK I wasn’t allowed to wear contacts for a few weeks before the surgery. I bought the cheapest pair of glasses from Zenni. I had new glasses for $17 + $10 shipping.
If I had to do it again I would have my IPD measured by a proper optometrist first. I just guessed at it and got ones a little too small, so they had a kind of fisheye effect.
Still, for <$30 it was a great bargain
I did something like that once. I noticed my sister’s wireless keyboard was still paired to her laptop, so every once in a while I’d hit the CAPS LOCK key.
I was suppressing laughter for about an hour until her temper boiled over and I had to come clean, as she was about to smash the laptop to bits!
Is it Dominic Turetto’s car from the first Fast and the Furious movie?
Good news! RCV already solves that problem
If Bernie didn’t get enough votes to win, the votes for him go to the voters’ second choice candidate (Biden – few voters would want Bernie-Trump). If those combined votes are enough for him to win, then Biden wins in that state. In RCV, Trump would only win if people actually preferred him over Biden
[Borat voice: wife!] right now
Lmao so he’s just swimming back across the river with the goat!
Someone should try animating these solutions. I’m picturing close-ups of the goat wondering why the man has lost his mind
This sounds like Reflexive Control. They’re testing the waters to set the groundwork for him being locked up. He wants it to not shock his supporters back into sanity.
In other words, he thinks he might actually end up in prison.
…finally
I’d take it one step further; Feminist Appropriating Radical Transphobe
It’s also about making sure you can’t sue them, even if they did something wrong, even if they did it on purpose, even if they knew it was wrong when they did it.
Instead you must agree to “binding arbitration”, so that if you lose they get to learn what strategy works against customers, and if you win they get to learn what strategy doesn’t work against customers (but in any case the details cannot be shared with other customers).
Also, you can never participate in a class action suit, so even if they did do something wrong, on purpose, and you convinced a -judge- arbiter, you just get the $12 judgment, or whatever the value is of your actual damages. The corporation can keep the $12 they stole from each of their millions of other customers, who didn’t also start arbitration.
It is shocking that it is even legal
I recall using Web Spider on Netscape Navigator circa 1997 or so. Then Yahoo! was the big deal for a few years before Google
“an sequel”? Tell me I haven’t been saying it wrong this whole time 💀
JFC nuclear weapons are horrifying
