Willy Brandt: Alright everyone, we need to show the western powers our commitment to their way of life. Any ideas?

Helmut Kentler:

Don’t be silly, that’s a picture of the gender reveal party

I looked up some publicly available Vizio (Walmart) financial presentations. For Q3 2024, their “Device” sales lost money (and that’s counting soundbars, which are presumably sold at a profit). They seem to be going all in on whatever cursed thing they call “Platform +”.

Note that this is gross profit, i.e revenue minus cost of goods, but not all the overhead from logistics, retail, corporate, etc.

The mesoamerican dragon deities aren’t popular because europeans genocided those cultures.

The loong/snake-like dragons are plenty popular, Tolkien just has gorilla grip on pop culture.

Yamaha went the extra mile and patented a fake engine for electric bikes that moves and moves air just like a real engine, except it generates negative work.

I hate everything about it and everyone who had a hand on it.

A wok burner. It’s used a lot in Southeast Asia, and is specially associated to Cantonese cuisine.

That being said, fried rice/noodles/veggies is universal, and you might be able to buy or set up something similar yourself.

What if I want to fry food with the fires of 7 Hells

If you can do it in an oven, chances are you can do it in an air fryer. Just be careful not to burn the outside.

Being smaller also means cleaning the is much easier, specially when you can put the basket and lid bits in the dishwasher.

Get unwanted attention from men

🥺 lemmy

A Ziff Davis joint? Probably about as bad as the real thing

Even ignoring that whole parody is protected speech thing, it’s only illegal if there’s someone doing something about it

Don’t listen to this guy, I’ll pay you twice as much if you let me and my pals vivisect you. By the way, I’m raising your rent tomorrow.

You got first and third world swapped there.

There’s also the US option where the kid gets told to fuck off and charged for bleeding on the floor.

It’s deterministic. It looks like ass every time.

I’m gonna miss you after you get Yezhoved

Yeah, it will be the frame time of 10fps (100ms), plus however long it takes to generate the frames. Plus input, display and all the other latencies.

Note that at 10 FPS you will have a lot less information between frames, so it’s gonna look real bad. It only starts looking presentable at like 45-60 fps.

Yeah, the only case where frame gen makes sense is when you care more about smooth motion than responsiveness, and you’re willing to pay for it with the inherent artifacting.

Games (and TVs) have gotten a lot better at latency compared to the 100+ms PS3 days, so it wouldn’t phase me if someone with a ultra high refresh rate monitor says they prefer having it on because of how smooth it is, but there are big drawbacks.

A Smurf not compelled by their Smorals is no Smurf at all.
