Someone doesn’t get jokes...

One of the biggest annoyances for me is having to tell it up or down for a search instead of it auto searching the entire document like Adobe reader does. Is that being fixed, or at least made a settable option?

Basically, in order to get to the ISS in just two revolutions (or less! Gemini 11 I believe still holds the record for fastest ascent and docking, completing it on the first revolution) requires split-second timing, and exactly the right orbital circumstance. Technically speaking, you can launch to the ISS anytime the…

Reading your comment gives me a sensation similar to motion sickness.

I personally never get motion sickness on a plane as long as I don’t read during takeoff or landing. I do get motion sickness in the back seat of a car if I’m trying to read for more than a few minutes, though.

I assume that the addition of the processing components needed to make the comparison of the buffers would use more power than they would save. I do, however, wonder if displays could be told to only refresh specific regions with a more nuanced protocol. Perhaps this is where the technology is evolving to.

Without some kind of integration, they don’t know the image is static. Most displays expect the input signal to arrive at 60fps, and they don’t buffer the data, because that would be wasteful of time and power, so they have nothing to compare the next frame with.

Having the display handle it would require integrating a controller chip into the display. Not very efficient when you already have either a discrete or integrated graphics chip that can also do the same.

The bicycle was the real victim.

“...the men were attempting to steal the victim’s cyclist...”

I wonder if the muggers ran away when they saw, what looked to them like The Sorcerer Supreme, or if they ran away from Sherlock.

Somebody found the hidden“F**ck tha police” auto mode.

he represents us..... he’s an elected representative of the GOP. It’s a reflection of their policies

So I guess tomorrow morning we’ll have a rage tweet from Trump about how Bill Gates is a liar and it’s all fake news..

At this point, it’s probably no surprise that both Black Panther and Killmonger were brought to life using CG stunt doubles,

Oh, I don’t know.. humans aren’t always so good at that, either. Like this Accord driver who swerved into oncoming traffic to avoid one car, and hit another.

They should’ve just called Lars Andersen and saved the CGI money.

... for a guy known for using a bow and arrow, he seems like he sucks at it?

I’m O-. My thought would be that there are so few donors of O- blood. Although I encourage every O- person to donate as much as possible because you have magic blood that nearly everyone can get. Plus you help us other few O- folk who may need it.

I think the most surprising thing about this whole article for me is that these tiny atolls actually have freshwater ground water. I guess I would have assumed that they were either collecting rainwater or doing some form of desalination, even if it’s just evaporating sea water and collecting the condensation…
