- Comment on Does anyone use a phone without a protective case? 1 month ago:
Naked pixel 8 check again. I do need to add a screen protector just so that it’s got a little bit more protection.
- Comment on WTF is a rural town in the USA? 1 month ago:
In my case it was population 600, 1 paved road through it, no stop lights, 1 or 2 roadside stores, a small k-8 school, and a 2 room post office.

Yeah it’s a bummer low flow toilets have really come a long way and now are capable of flushing more than the old 3 gallon ones ever could

How new is this toilet?

- Comment on Elon Musk is still revolutionizing the car and the city while reducing our reliance on Beijing 2 months ago:
IDK innocent until proven guilty unless we’re denying due process to everyone now not just brown people.
- Comment on Elon Musk is still revolutionizing the car and the city while reducing our reliance on Beijing 2 months ago:
I’m not advocating violence it’s a reference to Musk calling normal people NPCs. I’m just changing the idea to Luigi being the main character not Musk.
- Comment on Elon Musk is still revolutionizing the car and the city while reducing our reliance on Beijing 2 months ago:
While tanking profits, consumer sentiment, and finding so little actual fraud that they are having to go after farmers and elderly to cut the 800bn they announced.
That’s right unless they actually audit the Pentagon the only other place to cut is Medicare and social security.
Musk is a loser and shitty human.
He could be a good end boss in Luigi’s game.
- Comment on Glue that holds the democrats together 3 months ago:
Seriously nothing holds the Democrats together, if there was something maybe they would be an effective party not just a shitty virtue signaling fundraising spineless sham.
- Comment on Nancy Pelosi loses eye-popping millions in just three days thanks to Trump's tariffs 3 months ago:
It was a dumb question so assumptions were made.
- Comment on Nancy Pelosi loses eye-popping millions in just three days thanks to Trump's tariffs 3 months ago:
Because I did condemn both and I do frequently but don’t for a second think I condemn them equally. The current crop of Republicans are actively harming the United States of America and it’s residents.
- Comment on Nancy Pelosi loses eye-popping millions in just three days thanks to Trump's tariffs 3 months ago:
Then why would you ask such a silly question?
- Comment on Nancy Pelosi loses eye-popping millions in just three days thanks to Trump's tariffs 3 months ago:
You are not a very good troll are you.
- Comment on Nancy Pelosi loses eye-popping millions in just three days thanks to Trump's tariffs 3 months ago:
Because they don’t represent most Americans… Idk why everyone thinks that just because I’m not represented by Republicans that I must be a Democrat.
Democrats only ever fundraise when they have “power”. But at lasts they don’t try to actively harm Americans for self profit.
- Comment on A Bloated IRS Prepares Cutting Workforce by 25% 3 months ago:
No idea how you got that from what I said.
- Comment on Nancy Pelosi loses eye-popping millions in just three days thanks to Trump's tariffs 3 months ago:
I would celebrate if any of this actually helped average people and reduced inequality.
But it won’t, and it huts us more than them so nothing to celebrate.
- Comment on A Bloated IRS Prepares Cutting Workforce by 25% 3 months ago:
For every dollar spent on people at the IRS we get back about $2. For every dollar spent on going after the rich we get $12.
Not only will this cost money but it will ensure that only the rich won’t get taxed or audited. Getting rid of the IRS only benefits the 1%.
- Comment on Is it a bad idea to seek medications for depression (in the USA), when it could be takes away for political reason? 3 months ago:
No. Even if things change for political reasons if you are better supported with medication and therapy you should seek them as fast and safe as possible.
Support can make a huge difference today and then we can plan for tomorrow.
- Comment on Why dont more people live in smaller communities , appart from economic opportunity (WFH is making it possible if not prefferable too) 3 months ago:
Remember when American tax prayers gave billions to telecoms to install fiber in rural America?
Don’t worry they conveniently forgot too.
That plus other services like rural hospitals and education are huge drawbacks to living in most of rural America.
- Comment on Trump places 25% tariff on imported autos, expecting to raise $100 billion in tax revenues 3 months ago:
Lol no it won’t but it’s sure going we hurry average people.
There is no way tariffs will ever match or cover income taxes.
And tariffs always and only benefit the rich.
- Comment on Why hasn't video quality improved much over the past ten years? 4 months ago:
Ok, since were (as a group not you specifically) are getting pedantic, I should clarify that any recording of video is inherently compressed. There is no way to capture 100% of an image ever. There is optical compression created by the lenses, then their is encoding compression created by the Analog to Digital conversion, or if capturing in analog there is physical medium compression. Film has grain size and quality which limits it resolution, analog tape is limited by the speed, width, and magnetic medium density.
So for the sake of this larger discussion Uncompressed should probably refer to the point at which the content is being captured to a medium regardless of what that medium is.
Now in the context of broadcast and professional video production Uncompressed means specifically that the transport and capture of the content is dont done with the removal of any part of the data. Now even that is a little misleading because the sensors on most professional cameras can capture higher data rates than 12G, but the transport specification only allows for 12G we have to use chroma sub-sampling to go from 444 to 422 when we put the content onto the wire.
So all that said, when I talk about Uncompressed UHD video requiring 12G I mean that no codec is applied, and no frames are dropped. We are running at the maximum specified bandwidth of our link which is 12G UHD video at 59.94 frames per second. Every pixel is written every frame regardless of if its a camera pointed at a wall watching paint dry or not.
So, last thing on Lossless compression, as a professional I frequently take issue with codecs that claim lossless quality because frequently I can see the difference between the vast majority of compressed formats vs uncompressed formats. Sometimes instantly, sometimes it takes a few min before I see the compression. Lossless compression generally is one of theos 9 out of 10 doctors things were the majority of people say they cant see a difference therefor they can claim its “lossless.” I can frequently see the difference between 444 and 422 chroma subsampling, and that is not even considered compression. I am one of the annoying people who walks into a bar and asks why all the HD tvs are set to “fill” on an SD channel.
- Comment on How do I clean plaster dust from the floorboards? 4 months ago:
When its dry, brush and shop vac. If that’s not enough, then damp tarry cloth and two buckets, one with clean water, and one to rinse in, never will the two meet.
- Comment on How much of a risk is it for naturalized US Citizens (or those with Derivative Citizenship) to protest against the US government, compared to natural-born US Citizens? 4 months ago:
Legally none, but given that were no longer governed by law, no idea. I would say talk to a civil rights lawyer if you are a Naturalized citizen and want to participate in your first amendment rites.
