Thinking of food only on its nutritional aspects is reductive The comment is literally regarding its nutritional aspect. "One of the most complete nutritional sources".

Do we need to change the "hydro" part of "hydraulic" when using fluids that aren't water? It's pedantry.

The pedantic term would be "areothermal". I hate the practice of replacing "geo" in every word when used with other planets, though.

I don't think it's a monumental task for a vehicle full of sensors to tell the difference between rain and submersion. You don't even need new sensors. For example, if all the suspension height sensors all max out and stay

It's illegal at the federal level to distribute pornography to people under the age of 18. I don't understand why people don't advocate for repealing this law while at the same time saying internet companies deserve an except

If the media has a pro-Israel bias it isn't massive, at least outside Fox News. I've seen decent coverage of various atrocities in Gaza on CNN, for example.

Because people with vast amounts of money and power in the US either have relatives there or have cultural interests there. US foreign policy in the Middle East over the last fifty years becomes a lot less nonsensical if you think about it

My headcanon is that Snapdragon 875 would've been a great chip unlike the infamously overheating 888.

Twenty minutes of flight time is reasonable for a drone with swappable batteries. It seems next to useless for manned flight. In comparison the cheapest airplane, the Cessna 175 Skylark, has a flight endurance of 4.3 hours.

The submission title is wrong. The title of the article is The women who coined the expression 'Surfing the Internet' not "woman", reflecting the two people the article discusses.

The Hobbit was recorded at 48fps, not 60. And as I said: even when you preview stuff at 120 fps or more there is visible strobing with geometry that covers big distances in your FOV. Exactly. The game has no idea what is and isn't

Human eyes do not work based on discrete frames at all. The entire "sampling" paradigm is completely wrong. Estimates say humans can see max. 60FPS. This is a ridiculous statement. You know that's wrong if you've ever

Motion blur makes sense for films. I have no idea why anyone wants it in a game. The limitations of display technology and of the human eye introduce all the blur I could ever want.

Dutch sure sounds a lot more like English than Swedish does. The famous "Geef me een klap papa" comes to mind. Quite a bit of Dutch sounds nearly as close to English as, say, Scots does. "Zet de televisie aan." "Waa

Shame they don't offer a physical SIM for a nominal fee to use with the free service. eSIM-only locks out a lot of older and low end devices that don't support eSIM.

Letting me or third-party software go in and delete the files manually without pitching a fit would be an acceptable compromise. I'd even purchase such a utility.

Really wish games would give you a "cleanup" option in the settings. If I'm only going to use the Ultra textures it could delete all the others, and same for if someone is only going to use Medium, etc.

I've never seen an SSD as slow as 300MB/s. My first SSD from a decade ago was over 500MB/s sequential read.

TAA is also terrible and turns visuals into a smeary mess, particularly because devs keep building it into games in such a way as to be nearly impossible to turn off like in Halo Infinite.

The murder of SLI made me so angry. It was so wonderful to be able to buy a card, then a few years later buy another of the same card for a bargain price and boost your performance by ~60%.
