Are you kidding me? That’s a huge phone you can turn into a tablet. The outer display is 6.5". If anything, I’d want a flip and only use the outer display, but I’m not paying a thousand bucks for a phone with a gimmicky hinge that I don’t need.

That’s nice but not the point. You ask why people prefer YouTube and the answer seems to be that patreon is perceived as a paywalled ad platform. The fact that you might use it differently doesn’t change that perception at all.

Second sentence in the article, emphasis mine:

It has an AMOLED touchscreen display

The idea is that this is a phone you can use to communicate on the go, while leaving your primary phone at home.

So we’ve come full circle, with mobile phones now being big and bulky so we get mobiler phones that are slightly less huge. What nonsense. Just fucking sell me a small phone!

they couldn’t necessarily have predicted the path they were on.

Yeah. If only Hitler had written down what he was up to. Like, in a book or something.

Ah. Yeah, could have guessed that. Thanks though.

I mean… I’m not a native English speaker, so maybe that’s why I’m having a hard time here? But there’s just too many things that throw me off completely.

• “Draw a line around”… How would anything I draw “around” something still be a line? Shouldn’t a line be straight?
• “Draw a line around the number or letter of this sentence.”… There’s no number in that sentence but lots of letters. I’m literally lost in the first question. Or does that refer to the number that comes before that sentence?
• “write the last letter of the first word beginning with ‘L’”… For some reason, this in particular doesn’t limit it to “this line”, so I was utterly unsure if I was supposed to find the first word on the line, the page, or get a dictionary and find the first L-word there.
• “Cross out the number necessary, when making the number below one million”… Wat? Like, is this referring to the number being below the written line on the paper and it should be exactly one million or is this just saying the number should be anything below one million? Also, there’s just one number there, so crossing that out leaves me with nothing, so I’ll just assume I should cross out a digit? Then again, I can’t cross out a single digit for the number to become exactly one million, so this is something I really don’t get.

At around 60° north or south, the required speed slows to a little over 1,600 mph, still over 1,000 mph.

Wat?

Deswegen sage ich ja auch zuerst “Anzahlung”… Mit 90k cash nimmt dich jede Bank mit Kusshand. Die normalerweise angesetzten 10 bis 20 Prozent Eigenkapital würden hier ein realistisches Fenster von 450k bis 900k Kosten bedeuten, die eine Bank ohne weiteres mitgehen würde.

Ob sich OP jetzt für ne Wohnung verschulden will weiß ich natürlich nicht, aber je nach Region gibt es, wie gesagt, auch schon Immobilien, die zu dem Preis einfach bezahlt werden können. Ob man mit geschickten Anlagen der Immobilienpreisentwicklung entgegenarbeiten kann ist Spekulation, aber wenn OP am Ende eh ne Immobilie haben will ist es mindestens unkomplizierter.

Wenn du dir eh ne Wohnung kaufen willst, warum nimmst du nicht die 90k als Anzahlung und machst das einfach? Bei mir in der Ecke finde ich auf die Schnelle sogar zig Wohnungen für bis zu 90k.

You mean getting from there to here? Yeah, must have been a long time.

Drop number two will take place at 12:04 a.m. to honor America’s 250th anniversary.

Pretty sure America is older than that.

My human eyes create motion blur just by objects moving on the screen, there is no need for additional blur.

They don’t because those objects don’t move. You look at static images. Objects that would move fast enough to create a motion blur for your eyes rather create weird optical illusions.

Like, I get that you dislike the fake motion blur effect, so do I. But your eyes don’t compensate as the screens and games have refresh rates and don’t move anything in between frames.

I wish it would keep working. I keep buying stuff I would have loved as a kid, but it just somehow doesn’t fill the void.

So, I might be wrong on this, too… But I don’t think it’s too ambiguous.

Something that hasn’t been made clear: Firefox will have an option to completely disable all AI features.

We’ve been calling it the AI kill switch internally. I’m sure it’ll ship with a less murderous name, but that’s how seriously and absolutely we’re taking this.

They have a button that turns stuff off. Not on. So for me, it’s kind of clear that they’re building an opt-out solution.

“That feature will be opt-in. In the sense that it’s on by default and you can opt-out with a button. Not everyone will see this as opt-in.”

Yeah, no shit. Because that’s not opt-in, that’s opt-out. Pulling shit like that already makes me distrust their communication.

Hiking? I mean, the world is just out there.

Other outside activities that need minimal equipment come to mind. You ever played discgolf? Or went running? Or geocaching?

But yeah, lots of activities aren’t expensive. Draw something. Paint something. Sing! Or do some sports! Yoga only requires a mat if you do it naked.

The House on Wednesday voted down a War Powers Resolution meant to block President Trump from launching a war with Venezuela without congressional authorization, as required by the Constitution.

Emphasis mine.

Help me out with this… I’m not American, so maybe I’m missing something, but why would you need to vote for a law that basically just states that the constitution is still in place? And why would that be rejected? And why would that cause anything?

So… What are those two stars for then?
