As many as 1,500 “ideological immigrants,” … have applied for temporary residence in Russia in the last year.

This is a hilariously small number for a big country, why are they even touting this?

If you’re sitting the average 2.5 meters away from a 44-inch set, a simple Quad HD (QHD) display already packs more detail than your eye can possibly distinguish. The scientists made it crystal clear: once your setup hits that threshold, any further increase in pixel count, like moving from 4K to an 8K model of the same size and distance, hits the law of diminishing returns because your eye simply can’t detect the added detail.

I commend them on their study of human eye “pixels-per-degree” perception resolution limit, but there are some caveats to the article title and their findings.

First of all, nobody recommends a 44-inch TV for 2.5 metres, I watch from the same distance and I think the minimum recommended 4k TV size for that distance was 55 inches.

Second, I’m not sure many QHD TVs are being offered, market mostly offers 4k or 1080p TVs, QHDs would be a small percentage.

And QHDs are already pretty noticable quality jump over 1080p, I’ve noticed on my gaming rig. So basically if you do the jump from 1080p to 4K, and watch 4k quality content, from the right distance - most people are absolutely gonna notice that quality difference.

For 8Ks I don’t know, you probably do get into diminishing returns there unless you have a wall-sized TV or watch it from very close.

But yeah, clickbaity titled article, mostly.

Doesn’t getting an API key defeat the purpose of “no tracking”? Genuinely asking, don’t know much about this, but intuition points me they will be able to track you by API key used then.

Because your post seemed like an accusation that he other user is an AI bot, or some failed comedy bit based on that assumption, and they just don’t seem to be.

D’ya like dags?

Discontinue the lithium.

As someone with similar experience - circumcision due to worsening phymosis as adult - and also in Europe - I feel great right now, felt good before circumcision too (with the exception of the phymosis moment). It’s a bit different as a feel (and maybe I last longer now, or self-control got better with years, who knows) but honestly in my case I probably even prefer how it is now, and cleaning up your bits is easier while circumsized.

he got a circ as an adult. Apparently crazy painful recovery.

Yeah, no. That was probably due to someone’s more complicated circumstances.

Did it myself as a young-ish adult due to worsening phymosis and recovery was normal, couple of weeks or a month like any stitched wound’s healing would do. Only weird and uncomfortable thing was the initial sensitivity of the tip, which completely waned off for the recovery period. I read plenty on other cases as I considered the circumcision myself, and nobody mentioned a painful recovery, recoveries sounded about same as mine.

Circumsizing your children is not really a thing in my country, except for muslims, but even if I had a boy I’d guess personally I’d leave it to them to decide if they need it when becoming an adult.

Adding a pic of our favourite spy

Didn’t read the article, didn’t upvote the post, and don’t imagine people cursing him in the comments bothered to that, too. So we kept engagement to a minimum and to just hurl some profanities at him, the skies, or whoever reads. It helps to calm the nerves after another spotting in the news. I long for the moment when he reaches his Howard-Hughes-locked-in-a-hotel-room phase.

I can imagine him livestreaming it already, singing songs of praise about it, while playing completely alone (or to a small audience of sicophants).

Anyway idgaf what ElRon is doing with his time, as long as it doesn’t affect me and other people.

Or they just don’t like the way Kurzgesagt presents their information. Just like they wrote. Different folks, different strokes.

Completely agree, their channel has changed a lot and seems to be producing videos on a conveyor belt now, while before they used to do one video or maximum two a month. Now it seems they produce a video a week, and interesting topics are more hard to come by.

When they said that they’re “almost 70 full time people and a lot of freelancers on top” I almost did a spit take. I know there are big channels and operations on YT, but this seems such an unreasonable amount of employees for this type of channel and audience. No wonder it feels oversaturated and overdone, they probably feel the need to put more and more videos to keep their huge team and expences afloat.

Just find a sustainable pace and team size, don’t go the corporate way of growth over all.

Next week, when he talks to Putin, he’ll say exactly the opposite. He’s just parroting what the last guy he talked to told him.

They’re basically the Pink Floyd of our generation. Too bad they’ll never have the same reach as PF or older bands due to the heavy current cultural fragmentation.

Bullets are the beauty of the blistering sky

Bulgarian clusterfuck

Well that’s a first for such an idiom. Is this in actual use somewhere, and what do you mean by it?

Oops! 🤷

I just knew Citrix is also named in Epstein’s black book.

If you want another comedic stupidity, he has some funny parts in Snatch. Can’t be bothered to watch his copy&paste action movies, too, though.
