Reno 911 actually took a big swing and the episodes had different content/views if you rotated your phone. I think that’s about all.

There really needs to be a worldwide epidemiological study on how Murdoch’s empire has shifted global politics to the right.

I love mine but really want the image filters in OpenFPGA cores so I can ditch lugging around carts.

South Africa: “We agree to arrest you if you come.”

Putin: “Ok, I agree not to come.”

Can’t happen soon enough!

I imagine Donald’s political calculation looked pretty much the same as every Republican doing this.

“Hey, we have an election coming up and contributing constructively to literally anything is too hard. Instead, who can we crucify to satisfy the bloodlust of our base. Who’s good?”

“Hmmm, that’s a tough one. After all, we’re all just whiny little babies so we’d need someone who we can really all gang up on.”

“Very true. Let’s see…LGBTQ people?”

“Hah, good joke using the acronym, Donald. Your sarcasm is extremely funny!”

“I know, shut up. Also, stupid idea, assface. You see how many gay and lesbian people there are? Remember: I’m scared to even fire someone who literally is my employee to their face.”

“Oh, well…what about the TQ part?”

“Well, I don’t actually even know what that is. Trans? You mean chicks with dicks? Like that time I was in Russia with the-”

“Yeah, yeah. Hey, Dave Chappelle and the Harry Potter woman agree, and they are still making millions.”

“Oh. Right. Sure, yeah, whatever. Just make sure I’m as loud and stupid as usual.”

“Got it covered, boss.”

It’s Carmageddon. “What a punt” is an easy way to tell.

For OC posts in c/gonewild and similar communities, mods of that forum must comply with our verification requirements. For OC, verification counts as sourcing which means it is not strictly necessary but strongly encouraged. We plan to implement a sitewide verification procedure soon, but until we do it’s down to each community’s mods.

I assume “we plan to implement a sitewide verification procedure” doesn’t mean it will be needed to use the instance, but just for any posting or mod work.

What government/country was this, out of curiosity? I thought the whole point of the local-storage-only approach was protecting privacy, so curious how it could be used in investigations.

These estimated that, in just three months, the app prevented 284,000 or 594,000 cases, respectively — despite only 28% of the population in those regions using it. The study also suggested that for every 1% increment in app usage, the number of cases could be reduced by 0.8% and 2.3%, respectively.

The most compelling evidence yet, however, comes from an analysis published earlier this year of the usage and impact of the NHS COVID-19 app in its first year of deployment10. It found that the app prevented around one million infections and saved more than 9,600 lives in England and Wales between September 2020 and September 2021. And it achieved this even though, on average over the year, only around 25% of the population was using it (see ‘What the data say’).

Honestly, I did think the contact exposure apps were a failure. I almost never got notifications, despite leaving them always on, and legitimately it sounds like adoption was low. But it sounds like they were still having a noticeable effect.

Film grain isn’t inherently good, but if the source has imperfections (a poor transfer, a blurry scene, etc), the grain creates a random discontinuity pattern for each frame that helps the brain unconsciously imagine fine details.

Looks like it’s source only, no compiled releases. So I guess you have to compile it yourself.

This all sounds very reasonable, keep it up.
