Exactly. I was just thinking what a problem it always is finding my USB cable to plug in at the airport, in the train, at my friends house, in my car, and at work. It's a constant problem.
With this device not only will I not have that problem but I will be able to reconnect with my loved ones, face to face, overcome my phone addiction, and reduce my screen time to nothing all at the same time.
That speed is at 24 FPS for most of the population.
You clearly have no idea. In movies at 24FPS a single frame is usually made up of an exposure with sufficient motion blur that all information between the current frame and the next frame is captured. It looks smoother many thanks to the blurryness, but even that has a limit and typical bright scene where shorter exposures are necessary show jerky movements especially during camera panning which is precisely why high framerate movies are a thing.
That is why that is frame-rate used by quality movies.
I appreciate the sentiment because it's what you get in the news, but what you have is a laundry list of ignorance.
Nurses are majority female, and there's no talk at all about encouraging more men to join that high paying profession.
Some industries benefit from diversity more than others. For nursing that benefit doesn't exist which is why there's no real push for it. Also where do you live that makes nursing a "high paying professional"?
You know where there is a problem? Teaching, and unlike the GP's assertion that is constantly at the forefront of principle's minds with male role models predominantly grabbed up by prestigious schools. Pretending like that no one cares about that gender gap is just ignorance.
Paramedics are majority male (slim majority, not nearly the imbalance of nurses) and there's constant pressure to "fix" the situation.
Ever wonder why? Here's a hint: The ideal paramedic team is 50:50. The female gender role is a benefit for the same reason female nurses are preferred. THe male gender role is a benefit as paramedics often have physically demanding components to their jobs.
There's never pressure to get more women in to menial or low paying jobs
There's never pressure to get anyone in low paying jobs. But again observer bias is strong with you. Women are well over represented in many low paying jobs, just take a moment to look at those which don't actually require physical manual labour.
and there's never pressure to get more men in to any job.
This is known in traditional English as horseshit, or bullshit in US English.
There's also no pressure to get more men to win custody battles
Worth comparing who is leaving whom before you get to claim there is a problem here.
or to believe men who have been victims of domestic violence or sexual assault.
That is observer bias since there is pressure in most countries to raise awareness of the issue of domestic violence and sexual assault against males. Hell they ran an a TV campaign about equality in domestic violence in Australia two years ago. Why not more? Well equality given how rare these cases happen against men.
There's also a gigantic funding difference in research to cure diseases that hit mainly women (i.e. breast cancer) vs those that hit mainly men (i.e. prostate cancer).
Indeed their is and so there should be given the survival the 5 year survival rate of prostate cancer in men is 100% and 10 year survival rate is 98%. The vast majority (>90%) of diagnosis are at this stage. Go to the doctor no need for major investment, just convince your fellow bros to go get a finger up the bum, and there's a good chance you'll be just fine.
In the meantime breast cancer spreads quickly to neighboring lymph nodes which means it's very difficult to detect in a non-invasive stage. Got a lump? Good chance it's already to late. 5 year survival rate in the lymph nodes is at 85% and even less if spread to other parts of the body. Only a tad over half of cancers are detected while they are still confined to the breast and even in that case lopping off the tit doesn't give you that wonderful 100% 5 year survival rate enjoyed by men.
And that's before you consider that the incident rate of breast cancer is roughly double that of prostate cancer too.
But I'm sure the funding is all because no one likes men.
No. I hate it. The morning could not exist as far as I care. The ability to sit in the park at 11pm in summer and have a BBQ is a guilty pleasure of mine and getting up before about 11am sucks.
Lot's of people need sunlight for their natural sleep/wake cycles. Shifting the time an hour away from the natural time zone makes it harder for most people.
If you need sunlight to wake you up the get a sun clock, because no single adjustment in any timezone will ever fix the problems you're experience. The vast majority of the European population experiences large variances in daylight hours between summer and winter. Technology exists to fix your problem, there's no technology that makes the sun shine for only those people who actually prefer to do something other than vegetate in front of the TV after work.
First you take 13 bil GBP as a membership fee, then in thy holy graciousness and benevolence deign to give 4 bil GBP of that back as a funding for various projects
Yep and that's all you got for 13bn. 4bn back. You certainly didn't get access to a wide range of markets, institutions, technology, partnerships, or anything else that contributed to your economy. And that is perfectly reflected in the fact that when Brexit was announced nothing changed. I mean it's not like your economy started massively under performing, or that companies relocated their headquarters, right?
Membership in the EU is nothing more than a financial transaction where you pay money in exchange for putting a flag on a flagpole./incredibly-bewildered-sarcasm.
It was crashing under the weight of incompetence. Seriously the target audience of the survey was 700million people and it couldn't cope with 4 million spread out over quite a long period. No doubt the survey itself was running on a TI-84 with a serial link to a modem.
people wonder why are todays computers, which are so powerful, so slow?
No they don't. We're dedicating very few resources to actually tracking. Most slowdowns are the result of poorly designed software or ignorant people realising how much more we're doing in software these days.
There's no reason a tracking script (or 10) should have any impact on page load times. There's also no reason to for anyone to think that using a browser from the early 00s would even function in today's internet.
And as if to poetically prove the point I just got an email notification in my browser just as I hit preview.
Anti vaccination has occured for as long as vaccination existed.
While this is true in strictly logical sense, it is not true for the purposes of discussion on vaccinations. The anti-vaxxers have not had a following of any significance beyond a religious belief and the following was small enough that many diseases have in the past been effectively eliminated.
Their rise since the 90s fraudulent link to autism is what has mad anti-vaxx significant and has brought back the once locally eradicated diseases. This level of brain damage has not existed as long as vaccination.
It just leads to more misery, short and long term.
Driving a car in a city is about the single most miserable experience imaginable. Free youself from your car and bask in a world free from undiagnosed clinical depression.
live in a tiny condos downtown.
Huh? What does a tiny condo downtown have to do with anything? We living in a sensibly designed cities where this isn't a requirement to not own a car would love to know.
Microsoft's 24 year old calculator isn't worth the code it was stolen on.
Well two things. Firstly MS rewrote the calculator. It's not the same as from 24 years ago. Second thing is the code wasn't stolen.
Evidence: For 22 of the past 24 years the Windows calculator couldn't do basic math. Only MS could introduce math errors in a calculator app that are covered in a CS101 lecture, and 2 years ago the calculator could finally add and subtract.
but really all they'd need to do to make that program significantly more useful would be to make it handle Unix line-breaks correctly, and have some indicator (eg, a status bar) of cursor position within the file.
There are other things that would be nice, but those fixes would literally take any decent programmer less than an hour to implement. I'm half convinced they lost the source code to the Notepad back in the Win95 days . ..
Were you going for funny? Those are literally the two features they added to Notepad last year.
If there was ever any piece of software that is done and needs no more work, it was this one.
You say that as if Microsoft writing a calculator which actually gives correct answers without classical CS101 level math errors isn't an incredibly recent phenomenon.
Actually people do. It shows what each side is likely to do should they actually get in power. It's why these symbolic gestures are repeated time and time again.
Polls suggested that Sanders could have beat Trump, and that Clinton couldn't. And lo, she didn't.
Which poll suggested that Clinton couldn't have beaten trump? The poll of Fox and Friends newscasters? You don't get to arbitrarily re-write history. The past election was typified by one truth: No representative poll predicted that Trump would beat Clinton, and that the pollsters generally didn't have a clue.
What do you mean used to be, they still very much are;-)
Personally I don't drive faster than 150 because my car gets too loud when I do, but for a while last year when I was commuting between cities at 1am on a Sunday I would tear down the highway at 200 (little car didn't go any faster) while wearing earmuffs.
I agree. The problem with nationalisation is that you end up with a subsequent government seeing a government run "company" as a paycheck through privatisation. End result you end up with another private enterprise propped up by the government.
As anti-regulation as a lot of people are, there are some things that just need regulation.
You either have to get a permit or you have a right to have a gun. You can't have it both ways.
I was trying to be funny with my post but I will point out to you: Guns aren't banned in Germany, but you don't have a "right" to own one like they do in the USA either.

I'm more inclined to believe he's not a softcock.
You must be a morning person then. Good on you.
