I found this article on a study saying that on average people can only barely tell the difference.

With you there. 2k with 60fps is all I get and probably all I need.

Note: israel is intentionally lowercase throughout this letter out of disrespect.

Based. I love malicious decapitalization. The disrespectful nicknames like “Putler” or “Ellen-ski” seem childish and hamfisted where the decapitalization is subtle.

The rest of the letter is really good too.

Fuck me that is so cool. How long till China’s EV industry makes cars that don’t need charging?

The Horror! Robots are stealing Chinese Jobs! All those back breaking low paid jobs are going to disappear! Workers will have to learn new skills in state run vocational training schools that are either affordable or free! The farmer’s profits will soar… back into the community to fund education and healthcare. The cost of producing food will plummet and the savings will be passed on to consumers!

I have my issues with albo but this is a good move for him and the political establishment. Tit for ta tariffs aren’t going to make things better. American tariffs are going to hurt the mill owners and shareholders either way. Reciprocating is just going to raise prices for consumers of imported goods. Saying “we don’t like it but we won’t hit back” could be just what trump wants to hear. Signaling to Trump that the Australian government knows its place as a subservient vassal is pathetic but its also true. No point blustering and chest thumping. Best case, maybe Trump will let Australia off the hook as a reward for knowing their place.

What I find really funny is that Russia built layers and layers of defence because they were really concerned about the offensive and nato’s ukrops didn’t even get to the first heavily defended line much less past it. The first half of the offensive everyone was sitting around saying “probing attacks” and then it slowly sunk in that that was as serious as things were going to get. There were probably some Russian generals losing their hair for months because every moment they were expecting the hammer to drop and it never did.

It is also quite heartening to know the inheritors of the crumbling empire are oblivious to the cracks.

HAHA! Like fuck milie sure. But really anyone dumb enough to trust him with their money kinda deserves what they get.

an external influence? You mean it wasn’t all my cutting witty remarks passing through the cable that cut it up from the inside? It wasn’t spontaneous combustion? it wasn’t a case of Kennedy’s head undersea cable just did that?

Nope I don’t believe it. I refuse to live in a world where 2m wide fiber optic cables don’t cut themselves for no reason.
