…this is the crux of it: until we confront the disinformation sphere authoritatively, the problem will persist, and crossing that line is antithetical to the american identity…

…i fear that the american identity must immolate itself, one way or the other…

The Definition of Fascism

…there’s a german word for people who supported the nazi party even though they didn’t agree with all of its policies: nazi…

…i always use my signals to unambiguously communicate intent; the only time i’ve been embarrassed is after carrying that habit onto the track, but it’s tough to break…

…my wife uses her signals to ask permission, which i feel can cause confusion, but she feels the same way about me…

…i’m pretty sure the only difference between versions is the physical cartridge format; the software is identical and there are adaptors available for both platforms…

…i’ve always considered that a game gear title first, even though both formats were released nearly simultaneously…

…sounds like webTV is back…

…this is its best use case: something very specific but with waaaay too niche to justify its production cost, like an image for one scene of one session of one group of four players…

…if you have the economy of scale for publication, real art by real artists is often (but not always) definitively stronger…

…nothing wrong with dying; when you die it’s not your problem anymore…

…problems are for the folks left behind…

…depending upon the week, somewhere between ⅔ and ⅘ of my workflow can be in outlook…

…our IT policy required a shift to new outlook last year and it devastated my productivity: i struggled against its user-hostile interface for a couple of weeks and eventually just stayed home so i could get work done, despite our back-to-office mandate…in short order i was given an administrator account and i’m back on old outlook again…

…i drove from the gulf coast to northern california twenty-five years ago and had to thoroughly clean my windshield of bugs every fuel stop, which was pretty typical of road trips for thirty years prior; i can’t remember the last time i’ve had to clean my windshield of anything other than dust since the mid-2000s…

…typity type-type…

…i visited fourty years ago; it was pretty lush…

…i prefer the inversion: "when a good man goes to war, demons run."…

…it’s what he avoids: russian carrots are accompanied by russian sticks and trump’s kompromat runs decades deep, capital-punishment deep at this point…

…his only course of survival is to double-down on whatever his handlers ask of him…

…back in the CRT era i needed at least a 72Hz refresh rate to not feel any discomfort; that doesn’t exactly correlate with framerates on modern LCD displays but i think it’s a good proxy for the threshold of general perceptiblity…

…are greater framerates smoother?..sure, especially in my peripheral vision, but 72 FPS is generally good-enough beyond which returns start diminishing…

…that’s okay; in star citizen the vapid simulator download service is called electronic access…

…good call, that camry gets infinite FPS at infinite resolution and dynamic range; enjoy!..

…their first-generation cards were poorly received, but intel kept at it and recently achieved parity with low-end offerings from ATI and nvidia as a respectable selection for a budget machine…

…if they stay committed to the effort, i think intel might stand toe-to-toe on midrange cards within a generation or two…
