I wasn’t talking about people bringing it up as a psychological theory, I was talking about people holding it as an actual belief.
There are tons and tons of people who subscribe to it. It’s a pretty good hint as to why people support billionaires and villainize the poor.
Isn’t the just world fallacy a pretty popular opinion?
And as a side effect it’s destroying the next generation’s access to skill by undermining the education system.
What’s a mega corp? Lots of billionaires don’t have all their money in one big company, they spread it out over many small companies. They have friends and family members and trusts to spread the ownership around.
The issue is the fake CGI motion blur. It’s overdone. It’s not at all natural the way real motion blur on a film camera is.
I blame the digital workflows where everything is shot in RAW at high shutter speed and then digitally motion blurred and colour graded all to crap. Watch old movies that were shot on film and they look a million times better than the brown haze we got with Dune.
Look…
if you had
mom’s spaghetti…
would you capture it, or just let it slip?
yo! His palms spaghetti, knees weak, arms spaghetti!
there’s vomit on his sweater, spaghetti, mom’s spaghetti
he’s nervous, but on the surface, he looks calm spaghetti, to drop bombs
but he keeps on spaghetti what he wrote down
The whole crowd goes spaghetti!
He opens his mouth but spaghetti won’t come out
he’s chokin’ how, everybody’s jokin’ now!
spaghetti’s run out…
time’s up, over! Blaugh!
snap back to spaghetti - oh there goes spaghetti, oh - there goes spaghetti
blaugh!
he’s so mad, but won’t give up spaghetti
nope, he won’t have it
he knows he keeps on forgetting
that mom’s spaghetti’s dope
he knows that, but he’s broke, he’s so stagnant
he knows when he goes back to his mom’s spaghetti
that’s when it’s back to the lab again, yo
this whole spaghetti
better go capture spaghetti
and hope it don’t pass him
You better lose yourself in ya mom’s spaghetti! It’s ready!
you better never let it go!
you only get one spaghetti, do not miss your chance to blow
cause spaghetti comes once in a lifetime…
YO!!!
Most websites from when I was a kid did not need JavaScript. Heck, they didn’t even have any JavaScript on many of them! No CSS either, just HTML and images (which were very slow to load on dialup).
Glad to see the “working as intended” responses. Linux as a computer for people to use and Linux as a hobby can sometimes be at odds. It’s not a problem at all if someone’s able to use a Linux computer without noticing.
Fish emulsion, plant compost.
Yes, like the racquet technology isn’t going to help Joe Sixpack weekend warrior. It takes all that training to be able to fully utilize the technology. The racquet size increase has led to so much more consistency with striking the ball that rallies last way longer now. Longer rallies require way more conditioning to survive!
Not hugely better, no. Marginally better, yes.
The racquet technology impact in tennis has been enormous, with the largest difference being size and weight. Traditional wood tennis racquets maxed out at around 65 sq in of string area but weighed up to 400 grams (mixed units, I know). A modern graphite tennis racquet can achieve 100 sq in of string area while decreasing the weight to 300 grams!
Lighter weights allow a player to generate a lot more racquet acceleration without killing their wrist. At the same time, the larger string area gives a lot more margin for error when striking the ball. Players in turn responded by changing their swing planes to a higher vertical angle, coming up over the back of the ball to generate a lot of topspin (and string technology helps with this too). The topspin further increases margin for error by making the ball dive down into the court instead of sailing long (see Magnus effect).
All of this has combined to allow tennis players to hit the ball far harder than they had in the past, with the increase far exceeding what you’d expect from physical training alone. Give modern players a traditional wood racquet and they’ll spray the ball all over the place, making huge numbers of errors, until they force themselves to not swing so hard.
It hasn’t even started yet. Where’s the evidence that it achieves the goal of increasing the supply of affordable housing?
Landlording is almost uneconomical as it is in a lot of places. That’s why so many condos are completely vacant in expensive cities. People buy them and just hold them as a store of value, but don’t rent them out.
My oven goes to 500F/260C. The previous one I had went to 550F/288C, but it didn’t have convection (unlike my current one).
I actually use 500/260 on my oven quite frequently, using the “convection roast” feature. It’s excellent for roasting veggies and reheating pizza!
Never cook frozen French fries or fish sticks or chicken fingers in your oven? They pretty much always recommend 450F/232C. Lower temps don’t give you enough crisping/browning without drying out the interior.
What’s the reason? Doesn’t sound like a good one.
Some of the best chefs around don’t use recipes at all.
Nutritional calories are kilocalories, so you’ll need to multiply by 1000.
At the cost of having a machine that applies stickers to every box, as well as keeping inventory of stickers for C and F.
I don’t think that would save money vs a properly designed supply chain and manufacturing process.
It’s a good thing you only spent 50 euros on your pyrolysis oven. I used to use that feature on my old oven until it was destroyed by it.
I believe the excessive heat from the cleaning cycle rapidly accelerates the ageing of the electronic components on the oven’s main circuit board. Electrolytic capacitors in particular are susceptible to failure from heat exposure.
It’s hard to take anyone seriously when they claim anything other than a gigantic asteroid would kill all humans. But then if they say it’ll kill some humans it’s so obvious it’s laughable.
Trying to make a serious prediction about how many people might be killed by AI vs other causes sounds really difficult, perhaps way beyond the abilities of most researchers.
