If it wasn't Trump it would be someone else. There are very few people in history that are that pivotal individually. Had Franz Ferdinand not been shot, something else would have sparked WW1. Had Hitler not existed, then someone else w

TO me, UT is a modern game -- probably the last FPS I bought (well Elite Force which I think was based on UT) I was more of a DN3D person. Laptop and a desktop, connected via a serial cable, great fun. Computer gaming was far more social in

Doesn't need to. America can just leave the towns alone and do whatever it wants elsewhere. It will cost a fortune, but nobody is going to go 500 miles over an ice pack to raid a US mining settlement.

Bush wasn't great with Iraq, but it was hardly the first bad foreign policy move the US has made, and Obama wasn't squeaky clean. Jan 6th 2021 was the turning point.

Sure I use LLMs in my workflows. I use a calculator too. I can divide 98,324,672,722 by 161,024 by hand. At least I used to be able to do, but nobody is going to pay me to do that when a calculator exists. Likewise I can write a bunch of as

A small part of the end-to-end process https://www.obe.tv/how-to-lie-about-latency/ Bandwidth is cheap -- basically free, especially at this bitrate.

We use JXS when latency is critical. Most h24/265 decodes will have a 10 frame glass-glass delay, JXS drops that to 3 or 4, at a cost of bandwidth (our UHD jxs streams are 1.5gbit rather than 200mbit for hevc)

I wouldn't mind as much, but the bribes are absolutely tiny. Farage's "Reform" colleague Robert Jenrick took a £12k bribe to make his donor £30m. If you're going to be bribed, at least make it worthwhile. https:&#x

Any many items don't. If you select the biggest changes then sure. My grocery spending is up about 45% since 2016. CPI in the UK is up 38% in the same time, but then my kids are teenagers and eating more.
