The hurricanes will continue until emissions improve.

The only story that pops up is a pipeline rupture in Satartia, Mississippi. No fatalities, 46 people hospitalized. Maybe OP is misremembering?

Actually, it can be there, but then you won’t know how fast it’s moving.

I imagine any reasonable traffic law would forbid drivers from impeding traffic like that. You might be able to do it somewhat discreetly, but it’s still a matter of enforcement, and you can bet blue nonces will suddenly start caring about enforcing traffic laws.

Edit: UK Road Traffic Act

If a person drives a mechanically propelled vehicle on a road or other public place without due care and attention, or without reasonable consideration for other persons using the road or place, he is guilty of an offence.

At first this caption made me think that Kenyan giraffes are especially gay, as if Kenya was some kind of Washington D.C. of giraffe world. In other news, I am now aware of grey whale orgies.

Jellyfin and sin

It really feels like SCOTUS noticed that environmentally-conscious people are advocating for expansion of rail, and will now rule in favour of this project just to spite them.

approval for a railroad project

Let’s see…

that would carry crude oil

😭 what the heck

Thanks for the context. I still don’t really trust the efforts to decarbonize oil, and I’d rather see it downsized or replaced (with e-fuels for example), than building new plants that are more efficient. Except we’re so reliant on oil we can’t just use less of it, so the options are limited.

What exactly is the rationale behind sending essentially a carbon tax paid by German citizens to the opposite end of the world? Other than potential for oversights and fraud, obviously. Instead of funding renewables in Germany, the money is used to “reduce CO2 emissions” during fossil fuel extraction, what the fuck?

I feel called out

like this?

Looks like Delta will be one of the first, but I don’t think it’s available just yet.

I think “Nintendo” should be treated like a plural noun because they consist of many lawyers.

Unfortunately you’re completely wrong here. Americans, burgers, and fractions don’t mix well.

Third pound burger failed because people thought it was smaller than a Quarter Pounder

Nice try kiddo, but sloth is a sin 😎

Isn’t this specifically about sand for construction which needs to be coarse enough? For glass packaging you melt that stuff anyway, SiO₂ is SiO₂. Also I imagine the amount of sand needed for glass bottles would be way smaller than what construction industry uses, even less so if you recycle.

If you’re worried about random exes and repacs, I’ll let you know that there is a DRM-free GOG version of Disco Elysium. Of course you still need to make sure you’re downloading it from a reputable source, but it’s basically as good as it gets from safety standpoint.

Turns out the death of MSAA was actually quite founded! Here’s a great Digital Foundry video on anti-aliasing piped link | youtube

tl;dw MSAA only affects geometry, so while it worked fine for older titles, it can’t handle textures, normal maps, shading etc.

Glad it works for you. Since I upgraded to a 1440p monitor (I still have the same GPU) I went from comfortable high-ultra settings to mid-high settings + FSR Quality in more demanding titles. From the games I played in both 1080p and 1440p, I’d say that less GPU-intensive titles definitely look better in high-res, but I found the overall experience quite whelming.

Simply playing on a higher res monitor won’t necessarily give you better visuals if you don’t have the GPU power to match settings, however at that point it’s not “higher res = better visuals” but “more powerful PC = better visuals” which, duh, of course it will look better.
