Waterfall··on Reasonably priced color e-ink display
It doesn't matter for a stationary screen
Waterfall··on Reasonably priced color e-ink display
Never used a b+w monochrome display before? I remember the non color iPods were great in the sun.

For that price might as well get a ThinkBook Plus. https://thenextweb.com/plugged/2020/01/07/lenovo-put-an-e-in...

eink should die already. There are other options rather than eink, microLED and some of the newer low refresh LCDs (Clearilk comes to mind) should be much better. https://www.displaydaily.com/article/press-releases/clearink... Lenovo is interested and made a thinkpad with eink so it shouldn't come from a weird no name company in the future.

The contrast ratio will never make it good for text. I have used the so called high res ones and I would take a 720p LCD any day. They are trash.
Waterfall··on Feeling unproductive? Maybe you should stop overthinking
Do you have anxiety? It was what caused me to have the same issues
Waterfall··on Feeling unproductive? Maybe you should stop overthinking
Very good point. I would stay up late on Adderall and the first hours would be very chaotic. But if I took it even later when I was supposed to be sleeping, it would drag me, and I would be able to work. Later I found out it was an anxiety issue, but the they tend to rob me of long term memory
Waterfall··on Schools Beat Earlier Plagues With Outdoor Classes
I personally wouldn't mind. A life on a nuclear submarine sounds interesting to me.
Waterfall··on How Nespresso's coffee revolution got ground down
Don't listen to him. You can probably get a reusable pod that works if you want. I have perfectly fine shots, don't let someone make a mountain out of a molehill and did discourage you from ever trying.

Sounds just like over thinking. I just tamp preground espresso and have the espresso shot.
Waterfall··on Pine64 announce the Pinecil, TS100 compatible RISC-V soldering iron
If you don't already have a soldering iron this is not a bad idea if you have a low budget. You should get a heat gun instead if you want something useful in today's modern age though to work with SMDs unless you prefer baking all your components. A heat gun is much better for removing smd components and is a lot more useful than a clunky iron even if it's risc-v
Waterfall··on Shall the West Pass Too? Whispers from Fallen Civilisations
How is it wrong? Too many people in a new environment where they're fish out of water that don't understand the customs will destroy the culture there. It's dilution. Foreign people should be intergrated into society or they'll be outcasts and not understand how it works. My friend got a credit card at 16 since his mom understood the financial system. My family used cash all the time only and I'm far behind because I was raised to hate credit.

In Italy everyone is furbo and lies to get ahead. People rely on honesty in the US, I remember reading a story where an Italian man complained about his room and he got another one, instantly. He was astonished, and said it would never work in Italy since everyone would lie about it.

Waterfall··on The US military is using online gaming to recruit teens
Military would not be necessary if there was no conflict. And I doubt you can find humanity without conflict.

So many (gamers) are fit enough to do two minutes of push-ups, two minutes of sit-ups, and a two-mile timed run?

They had to cherry pick it. This article is intentionally misleading.
Waterfall··on The NBA bans customers from putting ‘freehongkong’ on customized league jerseys
How?

They get seized at worst, you get a reship. Nobody cares about it as long as you aren't getting 50+ for resale.

Waterfall··on Worms Armageddon 3.8
What's your favorite weapons and why? I have been fond of the holy have grenade. There hallelujah always made me laugh and the concrete donkey was way too cheap lol
Waterfall··on Low-income housing has no impact on nearby home values (2016)
Needed by whom? Why does someone who can't afford the prices deserve cheap housing downtown?

Sorry I misread your comment!

You might like the Mexican thread. They call the government/narcos just a bunch of thugs or the appearance of legitimacy. Protection rackets and all.

Housing is essential but a loft downtown isn't

If candy bars are too expensive it's the buyers fault? That's fair?

>If you believe that states occupy foreign land out of anything but need to control land and resources, I believe you've been force-fed a tad too much propaganda.

The US occupied Japan and it became a powerhouse. What was the real reason?

>When you claim NATO has been good for the world aren't you forgetting about the political meddling, money showering and laundering, secret illegal perations, and puppet government instantiated throughout the subjugated countries in order to steal control from Russian control during cold war?

No. I never said NATO was perfect. I said it's good because it caused lasting peace and prevented WW3.

It would be stupid for me to say America doesn't meddle. But what was the other outcome? If NATO didn't exist what would the world be like?

What is the war you talk about? I was always interested in cool technology, not war. Often, the military had cool technology. I remember reading a book, how things work and it explained lots of things to me, like how airplanes fly, so I wanted to look up the fastest one and the blackbird was really cool. I love machines and used to take apart clocks to (try to) fix them too. I wasn't interested in guns despite them being in every military game, they just exploded a bullet from a shell in various ways.

Some things had a horrible magnificence like when the US bombed Los Alamo's US soldiers and the men in a documentary talked about how beautiful it was, or the terrifying effect of white phosphorus.

After writing this, I think I liked the idea of the power and leanness of the military ( wanted their gear because milspec means hardy), but also thought they had the coolest toys to play with.

But that's not a Porsche then. It's a cheaper car from the same manufacturer you have to buy, not subsidized by the gov or other car buyers.

I do find it hilarious that the Porsche cayanne is the same as the Volkswagen version but worst interior.

You're saying it's weird that kids like tanks, supersonic aircraft and and nuclear submarines? Technology is cool. You didn't think the blackbird was really cool? I never thought only the US military was cool, powerful machines facinate boys without propaganda. I liked monster trucks and crushing machines too and I bet lots of other boys did too despite their non military function.

I'm sure they have other decades they could use, but they choose the time right when the housing boomed and right before it burst. I doubt the prices had anything to do with affordable housing, and more with other factors that could have easily negated it.
Waterfall··on Icelandair letting go its flight attendants and shifting their duties to pilots
That was a beautiful image you painted. Thank you. I must seek them more earnestly now, being in the cockpit during the flight was so cool but I would still like to see it even not in flight.

Unrelated but when I started drinking kombucha my stutter went away. Try probiotics!
