America will take Greenland, and then Canada is next being surrounded on three sides.

Can a NATO country invoke the defence pact if it’s attacked by another NATO country?

NATO vs America wasn’t on my bingo card.

I just want to swipe left and right to go back and forth between emails in my inbox ):

Maybe if I had the choice of where and when to be born. Much too risky to leave it up to chance though

A&W

I would probably choose my favourite movie in SD, a few dozen of my favourite songs, a few dozen old school games, and then fill out the rest with a few hundred ebooks.

Variety can be way more valuable than pure quantity.

My first thought was people giving birth to unplanned babies since October is 9 months after Valentine’s day.

It’s only a matter of time before Google doesn’t give you directions for the shortest and most efficient route, but rather plans your route to send you past the stores that pay the most in advertising.

“You could get to your destination by going down smith street fastest, but Glover Street has McDonald’s so we will send you down that road”

It shows little popup logos on the screen where the places are located, like a McDonald’s logo a few street over as you are driving by in your commute. I had it show me a Toyota logo for a Toyota dealership yesterday. Like, why do I need to know there’s a Toyota dealership there unless I’m specifically searching for it? Toyota probably paid them to show up a certain amount of times.

I view phoning someone like popping over to their house and knocking on the door to chat with no prior warning. No one likes that.

Because that’s where they trick you. They sell you something as if it’s a good deal when really it’s not, and they make a ton of money by selling the same thing to 50 other people.

You need to book it because you are not the only person who “owns” it. Many people do, and usually you can only book like 1-2 weeks a year or something.

Despite paying the full price of an apartment you’re only really buying 1/52 of an apartment

Plus they have you pay a bunch of maintenance fees which can be a few hundred to thousands a year.

Biology, unless you go into health related stuff.

Not the original you replied to. And I had a typo when trying to spell typo 😂 just adding to the conversation. Wasn’t disputing you, just meant the may have meant refresh rate instead of resolution. Easy mistake. It’s still quite disputed how well eyes can tell the difference in refresh rates.

I imagine it was a typo*, but this article in Nature reports that in specifics circumstances the median maximum that people can perceive a difference may be around 500hz, with the maximum in their test possibly being as high as 800hz.

Normally though it seems closer to 50-90hz, but I’m on the road and haven’t delved too deeply into it

Edit: Type to Typo

I quite liked it, don’t usually like musical shows but the tunes are catchy and somewhat funny sometimes

A lot of times that’s where people cross the street. Want people to stop before the spot people might step out into.

I have three. The third doesn’t really boost my productivity much, I have it vertical just to show my file browser because I open and switch through different files quite a lot. The other two are to show the actual files I’m working in or comparing.

I’ve stopped caring really, humanity can go extinct. We don’t deserve this world. It will be a much better place when it’s just deers and wolves frolicking about.

It should be illegal for a company to sign you up for an account on any other platform than the one you made the account for.

If I sign up for Facebook I don’t want to have an Instagram account, or vice versa.

If they want to integrate everything then put it all under one platform name. If they need to you have a “Meta” account to use Facebook and Instagram, then you at least know you can delete your meta account information and it won’t show up in two different places. One centralized place for your information.
