I just googled Catholic ai and this is the first result
- Comment on Evolution isn't linear. 2 weeks ago:
I haven’t mixed up anything. Smaller to bigger to smaller again is not a linear progression in size going always upward, which is what happens in games and in people’s misconceptions.

That list is fascinating. abc123 is near the top, then like 20 more down is a1b2c3, and then much further down is 123abc. What?
- Comment on Evolution isn't linear. 3 weeks ago:
The title and the meme are correct. Many people think that evolution means becoming bigger and physically stronger and having more powerful offensive capabilities and smarter and faster etc. But in reality evolution can just as easily mean becoming smaller, weaker, dumber, and slower

LPT you can freeze lemons. The texture might change, but you can still use it in some cooking applications and juicing it will still be fine. (After defrosting of course)

Even if we used piezo, the movement of the hanger would still have to come from some power source, which would still be the same sources like moving steam, water, or wind.

Solar photovoltaic is the only one i can think of that isn’t just a fancy way to make steam

You’re being too pedantic about wording. The right answer is to make it most safe while minimizing the chance of it accidentally firing. Simply moving it to a locked room down the hallway is the best way to achieve that.

Doing anything to the gun is probably a bad idea, even if you have experience with firearms. This gun came from a gang member, it could be in a very janky altered condition that makes it act unpredictably. If you were going to try to disarm it then you should still move it outside first before attempting that just in case it malfunction and fires while you’re trying to manipulate it

Seriously though, if you’re lost in a cave you should probably stop walking any further. Just sit down and wait for rescue. And if you have any signal obviously call for help

Bitrate per pixel is what we’re talking about. Bitrate alone tells you nothing. If you’re actually receiving a full as-advertised bitrate stream with a well-implemented compression algorithm then obviously if all else being equal then higher resolution = higher quality. But in reality many streams are overly compressed to save on their bandwidth and server costs, and often due to tech inefficiencies you won’t actually receive the full bit rate, resulting in even more additional compression losses.
Again, a perfectly-implemented, perfectly-transported stream in 720p will always look better than a dvd with a 480p video file stored on it. But in reality there are many situations where a stream is imperfectly-implemented and imperfectly-transported, sometimes to the point where visual quality worsens to below what you would get from an upscaled 480p dvd.

I would bet that a 720-upscaled dvd will look better than a low bitrate 720 stream. Hell, a 720-upscaled dvd probably looks better than a low bitrate 1080 or 4k stream. In many aspects a lower resolution video with a high bitrate will always look better than a video at higher resolution with a bitrate that’s too low. Excess compression makes visual quality turn to ugly garbage. Even just a little bit of additional compression quickly starts to cause color banding, blocky artifacts, and visual noise in motion sequences.

That’s why I purell the seat first. I also put a layer of tp on the water to prevent poseidon’s kiss.
