Distance and size makes the most difference.
If you’re sitting ~7’ back from a 50" TV it really doesn’t matter if it’s 720, 1080, 4k, or 8k.
You have to be right up on it to tell or have a huge screen.
Nicer TVs do have better color and contrast that you can tell from any distance. But generally you have to have something to compare it to for it to really matter. Dark scenes on a poor quality TV can look awful.
They thought of that and gave him a decoy medal
Do you know what relativity means? You keep saying it
A 6 or 7 year old child is ~120cm
Average person 160cm to 170cm
Relatively, a 3:4 ratio
For a tall person at 200cm (6’6") that would be the same as 150cm
Average woman is 160cm
Yes a 200cm person standing next to a 150cm person looks like an adult standing next to a child height wise. Yet to them a 150cm person is much taller than 120cm. 1 foot difference.
Why does your mind jump to “they look like they are with a child?”
Grits
Also cornbread and corndog
Probably a lot of things with corn
I’ll take just that cookie (You want the whole cookie)
And
I’ll take just a bit of that cookie (You want a piece of the cookie)
I made it just barely to the concert (Implies you were almost late)
And
I made it just to the concert (Implies you had something else to go to but you just went to the concert)
Perfection is the enemy of progress
You remember that one time you walked your dog into that real nice gas station bathroom?
It’s not just about dirt
Lawn darts were so cool
It’s the whole “Is Pepsi fine?” Thing.
You ask if they have coke and they will say “is Pepsi fine?” Then you can say “Yes I’ll take a Sprite” and get Starry.
Like you can’t order a sprite without saying sprite. You cannot be like “I’ll take a soda” and expect sprite. Same with saying coke. You have to elaborate.
You could ask for a “coke” and accept any soda. But you’re not really calling what they are giving you coke. You just wanted any soda.
Thing is you can’t make everyone happy.
Daylight savings time sole objective is to move 1 hour of sunlight in the morning to the evening.
I’m not sure how it’s supposed to help farmers unless they want to sleep in and work an extra hour into the evening. I think that it helping farmers is more of a myth.
So much of DST is misunderstood
Most people I have heard hate daylight savings time because “the sun sets so early in the winter”
Yet that’s the outcome of not staying on permanent DST. Winter is standard time.
Others hate the switch. Once again it’s because we don’t stay permanently on one.
I’m with you though, I enjoy the extra hour of sunlight in the evening.
Let’s look at NY city.
June 21th longest day, sunrise is at 5:24 am (Set 8:31 pm)
December 21th longest night, sunrise is at 6:42 am (Set 4:32 pm)
If you got rid of daylight savings time then the sun would rise at 4:24 am in June and set at 7:31 pm.
(Most people in NY probably want the extra hour of light at 7:31 pm instead of 4:24 am)
If you kept permanent daylight savings then the sun would rise at 7:42 am in December and set at 5:32 pm)
(Most people in NY probably want some light before 8 because it’s going to be dark after dinner anyways)
So many people are awake before 8 am compared to 5 am
So many people enjoy the light at 7:30 pm in the summer
Switching really is the sweet spot for NY
Location is definitely important too in hating or liking DST
Ontonagon, Mi sun sets at 5:25 pm tonight (7:58 am rise)
Dexter, Me sun sets at 4:10 pm tonight (6:33 am rise)
Same time zone, both northern cities.
If we didn’t get off DST Ontonagon wouldn’t see the sunrise until almost 9 am today
People in Dexter might have preferred to stay on DST getting light between 7:33 am to 5:10 pm today
The farther west you live in a time zone the less you like DST generally. Farther east, the more you like it.
Ontonagon is so west it should really be in Central Time zone.
If that was the case then the sun would set at 4:25 pm tonight (6:58 am rise) (basically Dexter ME times)
At that point they might want to stay on DST and it would make it exactly what it was today, sunset at 5:25 pm tonight (7:58 am rise)
Should just have dimes.
$1.1 $1.2 $1.3
There’s no reason to break our currency into thousandths. Hardly a reason to break it into hundredths.
Could keep quarters to keep hundredths
Transactions already need a nickel to do 5 cents. So requiring a quarter to do 5 cents isn’t crazy.
Say you have to pay $1.05
Dollar and 3 dimes, quarter in change.
$1.15
Dollar and a quarter, dime in change.
But I think just dimes are needed
You’ve never seen Maximum Overdrive
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Matthew 5:17
Have you heard the original meat puppet versions? Nirvana basically covered them exactly.
Not saying that’s bad. But when you look at songs like “All along the washer tower” by Jimi, or “Whiskey in the Jar” by Metallica. Those covers are completely changed to fit their style. In my mind, that’s what makes a cover great.
A lot of Nirvana’s style is the Meat Puppets
Good covers, but they lack original twists. Meat Puppets even played the music in the unplugged performance. So really it’s wasn’t Nirvana covering them as much as Kurt Cobain singing.
It’s what I have against Weezer’s cover of Toto’s Africa. Good cover, but it doesn’t scream Weezer at all.
Do normal people really argue with themselves?
I have aphantasia, no visual mind images, and was thinking about the cartoon representation of the devil and angel battling on the character’s shoulders.
I learned counting sheep meant actually watching sheep in their mind. Could it be like that?
I’m debating if I have an interal monologe. I can “speak” words in my head.
But I wrote this comment without planning and just wrote it down as it came to me saying each word in my inner voice as I typed it.
