…i tie back my hair or tuck it behind my ears when i eat…

…he’s been a known russian asset for decades, openly broadcasting it to the world for at least nine years, and a plurality of the electorate are totally fine with that…

…back in the CRT era i needed at least a 72Hz refresh rate to not feel any discomfort; that doesn’t exactly correlate with framerates on modern LCD displays but i think it’s a good proxy for the threshold of general perceptiblity…

…are greater framerates smoother?..sure, especially in my peripheral vision, but 72 FPS is generally good-enough beyond which returns start diminishing…

…ah, i can’t recall whether rivendell included two separators, but it was also packaged in sub-boxes with separate instruction books, which made teamwork a snap…

…we (my wife + myself) were so disappointed by barad-dûr afterward!..we didn’t buy it, so we haven’t built it, but based on the photos it’s neither inspired nor crafted to the same exceptional standard as rivendell…

…why does it include three pry-tools?..

…came here to post the same: we have a lot of flagship lego sets but rivendell is an unparalleled masterpiece, so exceptional that it makes almost everything else seem unworthy of shelf space by comparison…

…homo sapiens sapiens: so wise we named ourselves twice…

…so the thing is that, after accounting for time dilation, light is instantaneous and perhaps better-described as the speed of causality…even a ‘perfect stick’ comprising quantum-crystal wonder-material can’t move before it’s pushed, so you’d find that it, too, transmits information at the speed of light…

…is there a good version of pilotwings64 available anywhere other than native hardware?..

…by contrast to airwolf…

…i think the early stages will be fuzzy over the next four years but the `states will be fully engaged within six…

…that’s okay; in star citizen the vapid simulator download service is called electronic access…

…good call, that camry gets infinite FPS at infinite resolution and dynamic range; enjoy!..

…that looks pretty modestly-sized in the foreground, honestly…

(this is a huge red flag:)

…i give the phantom menace a weekend-matinée pass for the creative sincerity behind it, then andor, rogue one, and the original trilogy: done…

…all those are fine films comprising a strong canon; it’s easy-enough to ignore the rest…

…i suspect they realised that the bare roasting pan wasn’t going to work, transferred it to a foil sheet, everything fell apart, and then hastily re-assembled the broken bits into what was cooked for the final result…

…their first-generation cards were poorly received, but intel kept at it and recently achieved parity with low-end offerings from ATI and nvidia as a respectable selection for a budget machine…

…if they stay committed to the effort, i think intel might stand toe-to-toe on midrange cards within a generation or two…
