My interpretation is that synthehol isn’t supposed to be a copy of alcohol, it’s designed to give the positive effects of alcohol without the downsides, so that taste is likely not the main consideration.

More like Sony doesn’t want to cannibalize selling their own dedicated Blu-ray players for a much higher profit margin.

A $100 bluray drive, an Ugoos am6, and coreelec can get play everything for way less than a high end bluray player that can cost $1000.

Shame it doesn’t support dolby vision though.

Not in one exposure. Human eyes are much better with dealing with extremely high contrasts.

Cameras can be much more sensitive, but at the cost of overexposing brighter regions in an image.

While pork and poultry are not great for the environment either, they have nothing on the methane emissions of ruminating animals like cows.

The original question was why solar systems and galaxies are in planes, and your explanation is wrong.

What do you even mean by similar orbits? Most orbits are circular for a totally different reason, and that is tidal interactions.

I hate to be that guy, but this is wrong.

The solar system is mostly in one plane because it formed from a cloud of gas. The cloud of a gas has some total non zero rotation and as the cloud collapses interactions flatten the cloud into a disk, where all of the planets formed.

This same principle applies to galaxies.

I honestly though I would get used to it, like the forced 2-2-2 comps which I initially disliked, but I never did. It just made the game feel like too much more like a pure fps. And it not feeling like that was what made it unique.

In my experience all the que times were fine as 2-2-2 even when queued as duo dps

Ehh I disagree, I played consistently ow1 for years and ow2 just wasn’t as good.

I mainly missed tank synergies. Without it the game just wasn’t the same. The other tank changes were just insane too. And I preferred the full 6v6 experience.

Then they had to go an monetize the shit out of it, when I already paid for the game! The last straw was either paying for new characters or grinding like hell.

No he doesn’t have talking points. He just spouts whatever bs gets him the most attention true or not

I’ve only tangentially heard about this, but another issue is that doctors in the US don’t have to, and aren’t encouraged to keep up with recent research.

Combine that with a medical education system that hasn’t changed drastically in 70 years to keep up with that new research and most US doctors are just out of date.

They’ve had fab problems for years, in that it cost them a ton on money and much longer than desired to shrink nodes, so they’ve fallen from a leader in fab production to being behind.

Not to mention there’s not much money to be made from fabs, unless your tsmc.

AMD, Qualcomm, Nvidia, Google, Apple, are all huge tech companies that design their own cutting edge chips, and only Samsung is another company that both designs and produces chips.

Ehh mastodon and lemmy don’t see a ton of cross talk. Threads is mainly going to affect mastodon instances.

I’m confused, that looks like an m.2 slot, and it’s not like it could really be anything else. Msata is a dead standard and looks quite different. The slot would be too wide.

. 5% in a swing state is not nothing, could very much make the election in a state like Pennsylvania.

Beans, I hate pretty much everything about beans, taste texture, they look gross and smell gross.

The actual paper https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11100893/

It’s still a preprint, and I didn’t see the exact figure but definitely concerning.

Ehh it’s still a rubbish idea, that money would be much better spent going after primary producers of energy, like solar, wind, geothermal, or nuclear.

Some napkin math and an equivalent area of solar, say over a road or parking lot would produce 3.5 million kwh in a year.

Honestly given how Frank Herbert wrote other female characters in the books, I interpreted chani as a satirization of settler/colonizer wife.

It’s rather subtle, and would not likely come across well with a movie audience.

I’m a bit surprised at a lot of the criticisms for the movies here, and I say this as a huge fan of the Dune novels too.

Villeneuve has a particular film style like blade runner 2049, and Arrival.

If you don’t like his style you won’t like the 2nd movie.

But on the other hand part 1 sets the stage for everything that happens in part 2, and overall I think it is an excellent adaption. Dune is not an easy book to adapt to film, and some changes had to be made, but they’re aren’t any glaring changes that make me go “why the hell did you change it that way?”

It’s extremely faithful to the book, and in cases where it’s not, I can see the reasoning for the change.
