  On top of that, we’ve found that basically everything is redshifting as the universe expands. So to see a blueshifting galaxy would mean something potentially unnatural.

  Honestly? Probably something like this:

  a.co/d/jkRBNOS

  the tvs for business/digital signage have stripped down os (if any), this is just a stock android tv.

  I’m not a videophile, probably looks good enough for me, and they aren’t going to be dropping ads on it as they assume it’s going in a restraunt for a menu, not in your living room.

  Honestly the drama sounds like it is the extra work that these guys aren’t being paid enough to deal with. They’re wise enough to know to stay out. Compartmentilization is key here.

  I’m in a much better place at 43 than 33. My finances are better, my kids are older and much less maintenance. I have way more free time now. I remember fighting for 30min one or twice a week to game for a little bit and feeling guilty after (had 4 kids under 10). Now? I game almost every day if I want. I actually get a little bored sometimes. It’s luxurious. My body doesn’t feel much different either. Bit slower healing, but I love my 40s. Don’t make me go back.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are those of us who grew up on older games more attuned to latency?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep. On the emulators now it is instant. I recently stayed at an airbnb with an nes and played with my kids. The lag is definately there. Even my kids were falling off stuff shouting that they pushed the jump button.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are those of us who grew up on older games more attuned to latency?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I distinctly remember mario bros on the nes. There was like a 1/3second latency between pressing the button and mario jumping. You had to time your jumps (especially when running) further back than you’d expect to compensate. You just kinda got used to it after a while.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My writing laptop just died⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the answer here. If OP has any techy friends they should tell them. I have a dozen HDDs and SSDs and RAM of varying sizes lying around. Most of them even work.

  I tend to canabalize parts as computers pass through my hands. I frequently upgrade family member’s laptops for them. They buy the parts and I provide the labor of cloning windows and putting in the parts. Often the brand new (but smaller) ram/ssd are unwanted.

  Everyone ends up going back to windows for the better user experience anyway. Which is why Linux is an acronym for Linux Is Not UX (user experience).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I stood on a precision scale and farted, would I get lighter or heavier?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I recall doing an experiment in high school where we weighed a balloon that was blown up vs deflated. The one that was blown up weighed more, but by barely anything.

  Assuming gas composition and compression and moisture and temperature of breath are the same as a fart, then yes you lose weight.

  But methane is lighter than air, and there are so many other variables that it’s possible a fart would make you lighter. However that’s because of boyancy, you are losing mass plain and simple.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is blue and pink traditionally associated with men and women?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you read the wiki article department stores wanted to collaborate on colors. Most stores were doing all colors for babies, but it’s easier to mass produce one color per gender. There was a time where different stores were doing boys pink (because red is masculine, so pink is baby red) and girls in a feminine light blue. Eventually they settled on girl pink and boy blue. It was utterly arbitrary. Yellow was used for gender neutral.

  It’s only recently with online shopping that we are getting back to being able to buy baby clothes in any color once again.

  It’s a modern thing. Basically it’s all just commercialization. …wikipedia.org/…/Gendered_associations_of_pink_an…
