The F-15 was way ahead of any other fighter jet for years because someone managed to convince whoever was paying that the MiG-25 was a super plane (it really wasn’t)

Yes, and published specs of weapons are likely to be misleading or outright lies for that reason

When I used Gnome3 on a HiDPI notebook fonts looked fine once I switched my interface font to a newer Helvetica and turned all of the system font smoothing feature off

I think it’s a monospace font, which makes the keming look bad

Azovstal would have been a "perfect" time to use nuclear weapons, or on Poland for allowing passage of weapons to Ukraine.

There’s a first time for everything, right? Don’t you think that it’s a pretty big coincidence that out of all the wet markets in the world, COVID-19 started in the one in a city with a major coronavirus research lab?

A real world example: on my 24” monitor, 1080p 1920x1080 native has noticeable jaggies on kanji, it looks smoother rendering at 2560x1440 and displaying that as 720p HiDPI

Maybe it’s just my filter bubble but for years Sony had such good marketing that I knew their flagship games and random facts about their consoles even when I didn’t own them myself. I couldn’t tell you a single game on the PS5. I don’t kno

iFixit with real QC approved Apple parts would be awesome. I had a bad experience with a laptop screen from iFixit, their support's options were to accept a partial refund or ship it internationally to them at my own expense. I cut my

I think you’re underestimating what a phenomenon Hikonyan was, most tourist attractions would be happy if their character made them an extra 1% of what Hikonyan made for Hikone Castle

I think the modern mascots are inspired by Hikonyan (2007)

They might think it’s OK to say “fuck”, as long as they only say it once every 120 minutes!

A $20 extension tube or reversing ring will turn even any plain 50mm prime into a fine macro lens. There really isn’t an upper limit on lens hugeness or cost for people chasing that last 1% of performance.

iMovie is like other Apple software in that it's great if you're on the happy path but worse than useless the moment you try to do something that Apple thinks you shouldn't. For my basic use of stabilizing clips then putting

Squid ink ice cream is (was?) a fixture at service area-type places so I think most people have at least heard of it

I don’t think The Castle is based on it but the Narita Airport runway is literally built around a house

I liked the puzzles in the BOTW dungeons, and nothing in them made me rage as much as Snowhead Temple, especially the very last puzzle in it

by skhr0680 5y ago
The BOTW map is insane, every nook and cranny feels unique and memorable, and the features are spaced out perfectly. There were so many times I felt like I was being clever by eating stamina items to climb a cliff or parasail further… …to f

I hate magic spells like this but option+click on “Scaled” and you might get lucky. Make sure you are using a good cable. Nothing made me hate cables like USB-C

If Russia wanted calling for their troops to die to be a Zuckable offense, they should have spent more time focus-grouping catchy phrases like “the smoking gun will be a mushroom cloud” and “regime change”
