The only ones I know of locally are those red-branded “Co-op” stores, but where I’m at they’re all gas stations with only convenience stores so everything is 1.5-2x a grocery store. Google couldn’t find me anything either.

Tough to boycott the lowest-price option in my area. :/

Contribute to or make my own open source project. I dabble right now, but I just don’t have the time to polish up my projects for public release or to learn an unknown codebase…

Seconded! They changed channel name to Jay and Mark now though, but it’s the same great content.

I would assume they have two monitors connected and when the tearing occurs on the problem monitor, their second monitor flickers.

Thank you for so bravely speaking on behalf of all artists.

The first time I got that popup I immediately gave up using that garbage software ever again, but casual PC users don’t quite have the same self respect.

Depends. The price of the same DDR4 kit I bought earlier this year is now 4x what it was, new.

I’d be inclined to blame the restaurant for that one. The designer would normally be making it for print, in which case higher quality is better. If the restaurant wants a digital menu, they should ask for that.

The default Windows player does not support h265 without an additional charge. Cheap devices such as my parents’ Hisense from 4 years ago also stutter badly on playback of h265, even though they aren’t high bitrate (1.5GB for 1.5hr movie, hardly a large video). These are additional barriers that can be avoided by using h264.

HEVC is a bad idea, as hardware support is still missing on some devices and certain common software such as Windows Media Player cannot play it without a microtransaction. These are easy fixes for anyone with the desire to solve them, but it sounds like that is not who OP is gifting to. I literally had someone ask me last week what to do with a video file WMP could not play and it mildly blew my brain.

This is why I scrobble it to Last.fm. :) The site is still healthy and has a really nice end of year recap (but on Jan 1st, the actual end of year).

Just skip to the point and make it 1 day

All I can read this as is that 1 in 4 Americans are still delusional.

Ah yes, people slow down near cops for the love of the game, not because they’re afraid of a ticket or jail time.

I think it would depend who you ask. I consider myself vegan and would have no major issue with someone using roadkill for parts. I mean, I would find it disgusting and could never myself, but if they want to and still call themselves vegan, I see no problem with it as the harm has already been done to the animal. Seems the same as harvesting bones from the forest - what’s dead is dead.

This is going to get so much worse with passkeys becoming more common…

I’m gonna take a safe guess that London has generally much smaller streets and cars than the majority of America, so it would be safer yes. Outside of the cities and a couple of streets in smaller town centres, most cars are likely to be going 50km/h or more down a road with spotty or missing sidewalks and there’s probably a 50% chance of it being an F150. Now I have had good luck with drivers here slowing for me, but it only takes one time to be permanently crippled… So is it “that” bad? Depends what your “that” is, but it is worse yes.

I believe that’s the joke, but I’m glad someone explained this for those that don’t know.
