In my country, an O and a 0 count as the same letter/digit on a licence plate. Same with B and 8. I think there’s a few others. There are no two plates that only have the difference of these similar characters, the use of one counts as the other.

I’m finding it hard to explain, but I hope that makes sense.

I think they are saying that the circumference of a wheel can be any arbitrary measurement, you just change the size of the wheel. So how can that be notably different from having a straight ruler the same length as whatever that circumference is?

The earliest cuneiform writing is a tax receipt from The Grimmace

Like, send bison to kill the cows? Or the cows will go live with the bison? If the answer is bison, in not sure what the question is.

I think an element of being scared is surprise and the unknown.

When something is done well it gets copied and becomes a cliche, then it’s no longer scary. Old movies are where the cliches come from, so revising them no longer packs the surprise and unknown from when they were first released. The movies you watch today might be scary, but in a few decades when they’ve been mimicked a few times they will no longer hold that potency.

So, in a way, yes, older movies tend to no longer be scary. I think some of it is also learning the film making techniques. When we watch the behind the scenes of an actor in a suit, it makes the film lose some of that unknown.

Is it 24 hours for each install? Or 24 hours to enable the ability to install as many as you like?

Edit, I reread your comment. It’s a one time 24 hour wait to enable the ability.

That sucks but at least they allow it, and I guess you could argue this helps fight against scammers? Sort of?

It was so dumb that they tried to justify that comment on the Solo movie.

There was a lot of dumb shit in that Solo movie.

FFXVI doesn’t have a minimap because the director thought it wasn’t immersive to have one. So now I’m opening the map menu every 30 seconds to figure out which part of the slightly flooded swamp can be walked on. So immersive.

That game made it feel like you were punished for trying to explore.

Your opinion is a bit of a paradox, isn’t it? If religion was always a private matter you wouldn’t be able to go to any country and tell what religion that country is.

Part of the problem is that a few religions tell their followers that they own specific land, so they are competing to have exclusivity of that land instead of just going somewhere else.

The expansion of civilisations has always encroached on religions as well. You basically have to choose a point in time to say “starting now religions are allowed to exist in the countries they are already in.” Should the aboriginal Australians just go somewhere else if they don’t like the multicultural/multi-religiousness of modern Australia? What about native Americans if they don’t like capitalist Jesus?

It’s the stand that comes with the console. I didn’t notice them at first and was wondering why my ps5 was a bit unstable. Just a clear little clip thing that hides underneath.

It’s a shame that it’s only when they get caught. There’s no excuse for driving drunk.

This is whataboutism.

If the question is whether cars on the road should be ICE or EV, the answer isn’t more public transport. You’re ignoring the question of power technology to force your opinion on civil design.

What, you guys don’t have phones extra graphics cards in your computers?

There was more then a few Winamp skins that looked like that

Why must people pay video games? If people don’t like it, just don’t play it. Watch a YouTube playthrough if you must.

Automating the experience of art is such a dystopian nightmare.

With what army?

Might makes right. The only thing stopping countries from violent hostile take overs is the chance a bigger country will step in to stop them. Now the US is showing they are happy to help countries to this, it might open the floodgates and China will just take what it wants as long as it stays within its timezone.

That was a great show

Say hi to your mother

I liked The Happening.

Whether it was intentional or not, there’s a really interesting metaphor for the 24/7 news cycle, the need to blame something, and the state of the world. There’s so much in there to think about but most of the audience just thought “plants make people kill themselves? That’s too silly”. In my mind it isn’t the plants; no one knows, but the need to get the first headline, or feel in control is so great that people get frantic, panicky, and dangerous.

I think it might be connected to that Spiderbait concert and not wearing earplugs at the time.
