I remember when the welders at my shop started coming in with skinny pants, they all looked like bearded trapezoids. I mean, they're allowed to wear whatever they want, i didn't mock them beyond the normal amount, but it was weird looking.

Don't forget the unofficial Canadian motto during war: "It's not a war crime the first time".

I was a huge fan of Tesla originally. I remember before the roadster, there was all this talk of open sourcing the platform so other manufacturers could build their own EVs.

I love robots, but ED209 scared the shit out of me as a kid.

Calling the republicans bluff on this one is a strong move. In a sane world with consequences it would almost guarantee his safety. Since this world has no consequences, republicans will probably just subpoena him for a behind-closed-door court and only release things that implicate him or other Democrats.

Between a poor BluRay copy and a good DVD copy, the DVD always wins out.

Yeah, all my inputs go to the tv, then i run a wire to the receiver. This makes it so my ps5 and PC are plugged directly to the tv so i can get different resolutions are variable refresh rate and the tv can control the receiver. So when I turn something on, the tv/receiver turn on and set themselves to matching settings, Dolby, stereo, whatever. Its not huge but its a nice convinienice over the older optical connection.

I mean, yes and no. I like e-arc, and I like being able to adjust settings other than v-hold. But I don't want this slow crud fest that keeps telling me when my neighbour turns on Bluetooth on their iphone.

Theres a ton of other things I want my TV to do before more pixels.

Actual functional software would be nice, better tracking on high speed shots (in particular sweeping landscapes or reticles in video games) higher frame rates and variable frame rate content, make the actual using of the tv, things like changing inputs or channels faster, oh man so much more.

Anything but more pixels.
