^This. These shows are for an audience. If your audience is going to watch the show on a TV, it should look good on a TV. GoT was going to have to go through compression even if you watched the initial release. The later releases were adjusted, so some of the commenters may have only seen the improved version.

That’s exactly what they’re doing here in Texas. The school district my BIL works at is allowing ‘select’ teachers to be armed. Once the six year old pulled out the gun he became an “active shooter”, so his armed teacher would be obligated to shoot to kill. I didn’t hear anything about quickdraw training at my BIL’s…

It’s ironic  sad that it will be easier to take away the lady’s child than her gun.

Bud, that’s what “to the 4th power means”. Turns out this is from a bit of a simplification from a 1950's study and the actual ratio has an exponent that varies from the 3rd to 6th power depending on a number of factors (original was based on weight per axel, but gross weight has a bigger effect on bridges and with…

Road wear is proportional to weight raised to the fourth power! Doubling the weight of a vehicle results in a 16x increase in road wear.

I replaced my 2010 WRX with a 2014 BRZ that I replaced with a 2022 BRZ. The BRZ isn’t good for taking people to the airport but that’s about it.

You must be around some shitty dealers, because I bought mine a year ago with no mark up and the other 3 people I know who got one in the last year also paid no mark ups. The trick is to just order one instead of trying to find one on the lot.

Surprising the werewolf turnout was so low, it was a full moon last night. Unless, that’s the problem and all the responsible werewolves were at home chained up to keep from rampaging.

Yeah, really only works if they nail #1, essentially the same thing that happened with SpaceX. 

There are really only 2 ways that Tesla gets anywhere close to the claims (and they’ll be at least 3-5years behind “Musk-time”):

It’s due to the latitudes. They started with the higher latitudes and are working towards the equator. This was due to a combination of ease of launch, availability of orbits, and potential customer base locations/applications.

Tesla Semi + self-driving + police livery = budget optimus prime

I believe they were actually stabbed and not shot as previously reported.

The article uses a “sports stadium” as a comparison because they are big, so their energy usage seems like it would be too. However, we’re really just talking about some lighting, it’s not like the sports teams are electrically powered.

Road wear is proportional to vehicle weight raised to the fourth power. The answer is for freight companies to provide better working conditions and pay to retain more workers and end the “shortage”.

The chess programs are so good they don’t need any prior data to destroy human players anymore. Stockfish and Alpha Go Zero are beyond human level and are how players at the top of the human game can cheat.

This also avoids the hassles of meeting varying rules and restrictions for convertibles, plus you can fit a set of track tires and tools of the back of an 86 while the Miata require a tire trailer or tow vehicle.

She pled guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced to 5 yrs of supervised probation and had to pay the family of the rapist $150k. She probably would have been able to avoid all charges by arguing an affirmative defense at trial, but that’s a big risk since she was facing 1st degree murder charges. The judge in this…

“Under investigation” is a long way from indicted and even farther from convicted.

The Louisiana law has specific allowances for removal of non-viable fetuses. The doctors were risking a year in prison if convicted and with the circumstances of this particular case there are only the smallest of chances they’d be charged let alone taken to trial. Every doctor in the country should stand behind and…
