It's really not that difficult to wear a seatbelt, I don't understand the people that don't. It's less restrictive than the belt holding up your pants and it's not like there is an annoying shoulder strap.
I imagine it was a typo*, but this article in Nature reports that in specifics circumstances the median maximum that people can perceive a difference may be around 500hz, with the maximum in their test possibly being as high as 800hz.
Normally though it seems closer to 50-90hz, but I'm on the road and haven't delved too deeply into it
Not the original you replied to. And I had a typo when trying to spell typo 😂 just adding to the conversation. Wasn't disputing you, just meant the may have meant refresh rate instead of resolution. Easy mistake. It's still quite disputed how well eyes can tell the difference in refresh rates.
I think there was a case somewhere that the prisoner was sentenced to death, and was executed ina fashion that didn't quite work.
But technically he did die for a minute or two before his heart restarted, and he sued to be released from prison because he technically served his sentence.
Unfortunately it doesn't look like it. I misremembered a few details, he "died" from natural causes in prison, not execution. The court ruled "Schreiber is either alive, in which case he must remain in prison, or he is dead, in which case this appeal is moot."
I mean, HR is being paid. They should be going through the resume and compiling the data themselves.
Instead they require the applicants to do it for free, despite the fact the applicants are probably having to do it dozens of times trying to apply for multiple jobs.

Well, we call the stuff we breath "air" despite it being 80% nitrogen. It would be a bit weird saying we breath nitrogen. "Air" is a general catch-all term for the mixture of things that we breath.
A controversial bill that would require all new cars to be fitted with AM radios looks set to become a law in the near future.

Do cars really need to have it though? They seem to be the only thing "targeted" to be forced into include something that can receive emergency broadcasts. Why not force homes to be outfitted with an AM radio? Everyone lives somewhere (mostly, unfortunately) but not everyone owns a car. If they really want people to have access to AM radio emergency broadcasts maybe they should supply people with portable AM radios rather than forcing car companies to include it in their cars and increasing the price of vehicles since they will require larger antennae and more wiring than just FM radio or no radio at all.
Can't remember the movie but it had someone get kidnapped by a group of cannibals or something and they kept them alive while chopping body parts of and cauterizing the wound, eating them slowly over time to keep them fresh. Don't think I was able to finish it.
I much prefer random ads anyways. Targeted ads are 90% something You've already recently bought.
With random ads sometimes you see something interesting that you didn't even know you wanted because you didn't know it even existed.
If I'm looking for a laptop I don't care to see 1000 ads for laptops, I'm not going to just click an ad and buy one I need to research and deep dive into the kind I want.
It's not bad, it allows more freedom. You don't have to graduate in 4 years if you don't want. If you're working part time you can just take 3-4 courses a semester instead of 5 courses and just take your time.
You can also choose different time slots for different courses to fit your life style, like only morning courses or only afternoon courses, no courses on Fridays, etc. (depending on the course popularity and how many are available each semester.
For several decades Canada’s population growth rate hovered at about 1.0 percent annually. This rate has more than tripled in a few short years, up to 3.3 percent in 2023.
Personally I've never had an issue with Asus products but have had numerous quality issues with Acer. Bought a number of small Acer laptops and the hinges kept breaking because they only put one screw in the hold the hinge instead of two in many of them.
I've heard some mixed reviews, I personally think the concept is interesting but I haven't actually seen anything besides like, 10 minutes of episode 4. I'm not expecting anything exceptionally deep or even that great, I was just wondering if it was even fun to watch.
I wouldn't mind if it were priced to actually make sense.
Like why would anything cost more than $1? Or even $0.01? Just greed and stupidity.
Microtransactions for cosmetic items that cost 25% or more of the base game itself are just insane. A whole game, or 4 cosmetic items, that must have taken sooo much effort to design those items to cost so much.
If they don't make any money they won't bother with microtransactions at all.
So it's either $0.01 for cosmetic items or they don't make cosmetic items at all because You've already paid for the game, and making new things just costs them money.

My grandpa's peach tree had had leaves and flowers for almost a month now, a few hours north of Seattle. Not sure if there are different early/late varieties or not.
To me it's not really a challenge, it's just annoying. It's pretty easy to adapt, but I like having things symmetrical and it annoys me when I get certain layouts. So much that I almost feel like abandoning my settlement immediately upon start.
Accepting contracts from Israel is just as political as denying contracts from Israel. You just stated your political stance by accepting. Why do people think it's a free copout?
I know enough about that, the part I was skeptical about though was the assumption that if a mouse is immune for 90 days, a human would be immune for 10 years.
I never even knew about them until about 10 years ago, then knew I wanted one immediately after looking them up.
Then a year later my sister, working at an animal rescue shelter, let me know that one came in after being abandoned due to running off and being picked up by animal control multiple times, and then I immediately got on the list to adopt.
So would you agree there should be rules about protestors blocking access to planned parenthood? Or is it perfectly fine the way the system is right now, just allowing them to threaten and harass everyone going inside for unhindered rights or assembly?
It was in direct reply to your comment about planned parenting protestors.
In none of my comments am I bashing the bridge protestors other than saying they should not be allowed to block traffic, and the right of assembly should have rules and regulations to determine "proper" and "improper" forms of protest.
