only comment I will make is that if he saw his father taking photos of you in a vulnerable and spontaneous situation, the person that he should be raising hell with is his father.

Why is he blaming you when he should have already taken the phone from his father and deleted any photos of you?

Before I answer,how much research have you done into the creation of the federal reserve, the mechanisms it uses, and the outcomes it seeks to achieve?

Just want to know what level of baseline knowledge this conversation should assume

“Democrats” are who you call out here? Why would you say that?

Because CRTs (and maybe other displays) are slaved to the input and insensitive to exact timing, and console chipset designers used convenient line counts/clock frequencies, consoles often have frame rates slightly different from standard NTSC (which is 60000/1001 or ~59.94 fields per second).

The 262 AND A HALF lines per field NTSC uses to get the dumb oscillator in a CRT to produce interlacing, is not convenient. “240p” moves the VSYNC pulse, shortening the frame duration.

So NES’s run at -60.1 FPS.

Doesn’t even need to be the 90th %tile. The 99.9th would do.

FYI, it looks like this is the Montana state House, not the US House of Representatives

His aide, according to the WSJ, said Trump's CIA will have a greater focus on the Western Hemisphere, targeting countries not traditionally considered adversaries of the United States.

literally making our closest neighbors into enemies so he can be buddies with Putin and Kim

  1. pay off high interest debt

  2. top off your emergency fund so you don’t run into expensive short-on-money situations

  3. take care of deferred maintenance on your car or house that might turn into an expensive repair

  4. If you have an employer sponsored 401k, increase the contribution amount to get 10k more tax free into it before the end of the year and use the $10k cash in hand for expenses.

  5. Open a roth IRA and contribute the maximum amount you can (which may vary based on your income)

VT, VTI, and SPY are good broad-market funds with good historical growth.

You are seeing changes in the refractive index of air as a result of heat lowering the density of the air. As air comes in contact with the hot surface, it becomes heated and rises through otherwise cool air - The rising air causes eddies and vortexes that lead to light bending in weird ways as it passes through.

The shadows are much like the shadows on the bottom of a pool when there are waves on the surface. Incoming wavefront of light are distorted from planar and sent in different directions, some directions get less total light, some get more.

Pro-Russia social media accounts amplifying stories about divisive political topics such as immigration and campus protests over the war in Gaza.

Influence operations linked to Russia take aim at a disparate range of targets and subjects around the world. But their hallmarks are consistent: attempting to erode support for Ukraine, discrediting democratic institutions and officials, seizing on existing political divides and harnessing new artificial intelligence tools.

"They're often producing narratives that feel like they're throwing spaghetti at a wall," said Andy Carvin, managing editor at the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab, which tracks online information operations. "If they can get more people on the internet arguing with each other or trusting each other less, then in some ways their job is done."

The effort includes artificial intelligence, fake social media accounts and a spike in state-sponsored Russian propaganda.

By Dan De Luce

Russia is seeking to exploit America’s divisive debate over Israel’s offensive in Gaza through overt and covert propaganda, with the aim of aggravating political tensions in the U.S. and tarnishing Washington’s global image, according to two sources familiar with U.S. intelligence on the matter.

In its ongoing information war against the United States, Russia has shifted its focus in recent months to the Israel-Hamas conflict, seeking to inflame existing divisions in the West and to portray Washington as fueling the violence, the sources said.

A favorite theme of Russian information operations is to paint America as a failing democratic state, according to U.S. officials and researchers.

At an event last week in Washington, Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines said Russia works to denigrate America’s standing in the world, to undermine democratic institutions and processes and to exploit social, political and economic divisions “in our culture and in our society.”

Which ones have you tried, which ones did you stop using, and which ones are the best of the bunch?

I am using Memmy and it’s not quite there - difficult touch targets, poor infinite scroll implementation, and crashy search are the big issues.

EDIT: I installed Voyager, it’s working great! Thanks for the suggestions!

From an evolutionary point of view, the ones that didn’t have a resistance to cancer, died.
