Had a friend, super advanced in math/science. Basically finished high school in 2 years, went to university at 14/15, took computer engineering or some similar hard STEM program, was a teaching assistant tutoring people older than him, snuck into the university bars a few times showing his student ID while he was underage because how many people expect a 17 year old graduate student?

Anyways he became a pastor.

Yup. Polyester feels way better on my skin than cotton, especially if I sweat at all. Also easier to maintain. I won't buy anything cotton these days.

Easy, because over here it's already dark at 4pm.

I always do early voting. Usually no wait but unfortunately I picked a sunny weekend day to do it once, had to wait 15 minutes.

First one that someone bought for me: Riva TNT2

First one I bought myself: ATI Sapphire 9600 pro

Who cares if they release a new one every year? Just buy a new phone when you actually need one.

Imagine trying to squeeze toothpaste out of a tube but it's almost empty vs almost full.

Your gut is meant to keep things moving along... If it doesn't, it ain't good.

Instant Pot.

Apparently they went bankrupt because they built their units too well. Everyone bought one and never needed to buy a replacement.

X is just a vague term though. It's also often used as a placeholder for unknown or variable things. So the "formerly Twitter" is going to stick for quite a while.

It's like naming a product "The Thing". Anyone who talks about it will always have to clarify what Thing they are talking about basically forever.

Nope. If your other finger is still resting on the mouse, it fucks up and can't tell the difference between left and right click. It's a 50/50 gamble unless you lift your fingers off beforehand.

Yes, I did use the mouse before, and I was wondering why the fuck the thing kept right clicking when I left clicked and left clicking when I right clicked. Only after googling did it reveal that it misinterprets shit if both fingers are resting on the mouse.

What kind of fucking mouse requires googling to click?

You'll be perpetually behind the times. People tend to get set in their ways even by their 30s. You'll constantly lag behind the trends, language, and tastes of the younger generation...

If you were the first to be immortal, you may not have the best version of immortality and it may render you incompatible with better, future types of immortality. Like magical regeneration that prevents you from getting a personality upload to a cyberbrain that is a million times faster and smarter than the squishy biological brain.

 

From my understanding, the P8P's video boost can't be done in the phone itself, but it's actually uploading the video to Google's servers, processing it there, then downloading the finished product back again. In fact, it probably uploads two videos, one at high ISO and one at low ISO to get the full HDR range.

For anyone who wants to take lots of videos, this sounds like it'll blow through your data caps very quickly.

 

Big jump for the regular 8 but no increase at all for the pro?

 

Looking at the details listed from this leak, it looks like all the previous leaks were wrong. The specs for the main sensor are the same as the P7, the Samsung GN1 sensor.

Also rumors of the IMX787 ultrawide appear to be incorrect as well, only 48MP instead of 64.

 

Still waiting for Canoo to produce a consumer version, but at least they've made the vehicles for NASA. Maybe the publicity from this will help them get enough interest for the initial production and sales?

 

I'm guessing it's still a production line test unit, but it seems like the design is finalized and volume production could actually begin by the end of the year

 

Can't wait to see more of these. I hope that Rivian eventually makes an RV/camper version of this, it would go well with their adventure vehicle branding
