Doesn’t film have a definition roughly equivalent to 2K?

Not sure why they didn’t just do a digital transfer to 2K.

Western brands in general are losing market share in China.

All these companies that outsourced in the 90s and 00s are having their chickens come home to roost.

Lenin was a lib too

This is what happens when science is done by governments and companies dedicated to the end result.

ITER and so many other projects are littered with graft and hampered by corruption and uninterested governments.

If China can build a reactor with a Q of 10, it’s game over. The west is already getting lapped on solar and EV’s.

We’re gonna be a backwater with a bunch of bombs. Buckle up y’all.

But at what cost?

That is a banger!

Thanks!

This is an excellent read.

I remember hearing about the “free Tibet” movement in the 80s and 90s. I thought it sounded like justice.

I was also taken in by Scorcese’s Kundun and the peaceful sounding Dalai Lama.

Reading about accounts like this drastically changed my attitude. This is not the first one I’ve read about how Tibet used to be, but this is definitely a strong, personal account.

Of course Eric Prince is going to advocate for funding private military contractors.

The piece of shit that he is with his private army.

First past the post system is designed to keep the liberal and neoliberal parties in power.

You know what reduces copyright infringement? Making content available, affordable and accessible.

In the golden days of Netflix, I hardly torrented anything.

There’s also a “I’m not going to get some bullshit masquerading as the movie I was looking for.” thing in place.

I belong to a couple private trackers. I use them nearly exclusively and have never once downloaded a bullshit file/virus/whatever. It’s happened a couple times on public ones.

I know who the good uploaders are and know that seeding on the private isn’t going to get me flagged to my ISP, which happened twice before going off public.

I guess what I’m wondering is: why wouldn’t you use one if you can find what you’re looking for?

Some real axis of evil shit going down. Anyone who questions if they’re the baddies at this point is intentionally being obtuse.

She has 4 ears.

3944km from New York to LA. Wonder how long it would take if there was a bullet train.

My whole family is lactose intolerant or milk allergic. My son is too.

Having to navigate a no dairy diet at daycare or school is difficult.

It’s awful newspeak to say “southern Lebanon”. I’m originally from there and have family there. The entire country is less than 150 miles from tip to tip.

It’s a way of segmenting the country to not sound bad. Israel is again bombing Lebanon. There is no country called “southern Lebanon”.

I’ve seen this language used for years to justify bombing and occupation.

Great read! Drives home just how bad it is when companies design things to be disposable.
