…hot tub time machine was way better than it had any right to be…
…i begrudgingly walked into the theatre expecting rogue one to be another yet installment of phoned-in franchise slop and walked out having watched the best star wars film since 1977…
…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…
(i’m sorry, i don’t recognise most of what you wrote there)
…looks pretty much the same on bing maps, except they’re so committed that they named it twice…
…but it’s not in any way contiguous with south america; that would be the caribbean sea…
…putin got us into this mess amd couldn’t be happier…
…i mean that i’ve never seen kerrygold sold in sticks; maybe it’s a regional thing?..
…our kerrygold comes in slabs, not sticks…
…by contrast to airwolf…
…yeah, my inner twelve-year-old would rock this house so hard: blockbuster party friday night, cartoons saturday morning, bike ride to the candy store then GI joes in the backyard saturday afternoon, SNICK followed by staying up way too late playing D+D saturday night, more D+D sunday morning, then jetski rides and a hot dog cookout before wrapping up the weekend with amazing stories, the young indiana jones chronicles, star trek, and finally falling asleep in my bunk bed…
…only three hundred grand for a house which violates the f*ck out of international building code, fire code, and life safety code; nice!..
…what are the odds of even more egregious DIY violations of electricial, mechanical, and plumbing code which we can’t see in casual realtor photos?..
…i give the phantom menace a weekend-matinée pass for the creative sincerity behind it, then andor, rogue one, and the original trilogy: done…
…all those are fine films comprising a strong canon; it’s easy-enough to ignore the rest…
…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…
…NCSA mosaic won the web, absolutely; in truth i think it gave a lot of us an excuse to upgrade from terminals and shell accounts…
…i remember going to our computer lab in the early nineties and seeing a flyer about this new protocol called the world wide web, thinking to myself in what way is that better than gopher?..
…last week i learned that the cafeteria food i grew up with was scratch-made; the reason it tasted the same everywhere wasn’t because they all bought prepared foods from the same distributors, but because they all used the same USDA-provided recipes…
