I think it took note of it being about rescue pigeons and assumed they would have a tag on them and then gave cooking directions for them

While I don’t know much about video cards, the IBM Monochrome Display Adapter (MDA) is often called the first video card and had a couple of contenders for first that were either designed earlier or released at almost the same time in 1981 and were all for displaying text only. The first GPU card sold to the public was the GeForce 256 in 1999. I’m assuming there’s some in between that were not really used by the public that would have been used in movies and whatnot.

The reason why nobody was selling GPUs before Quake was because quake was THE first 3D game. Doom and other games before Quake were 2.5D and didn’t have 3D models only sprites. Games before Quake essentially mimicked 3D while Quake IS 3D

I’m fairly certain that the left one is Combat Evolved

I’d argue that quake did far more for 3D graphics then it did for FPS. Like Doom is what got FPS into the spotlight even though Wolfenstein 3d came first. Like quake is pretty much what made real 3D possible and doable on the hardware of the time thanks to everything going on under the hood

the process still relies on fetal bovine serum (FBS) as a protein-rich growth supplement for animal cell cultures.

FBS, which costs around £300 to £700 per litre

That’s a fancy serum made from cow blood

Also this all comes from a submission to an art museum in 2020, it’s not supposed to be an actual product it’s more of a proof of concept type of thing.

I get cheap hardware. A hardware intensive OS seems stupid to me. I want my computer running the programs that I want, not wasting memory and CPU usage on the OS instead.

Plus I’ve gotten a notification on every laptop I own from Windows telling me to upgrade followed by something saying that they are below specs for the upgrade

A lot of niche YouTubers say that they get most of their revenue from patreon and other sites like that so it seems like there’s already existing avenues to post videos and get paid via a different site

Echoing malthusian sentiments of “there’s not enough food for everyone” is not helping anyone.

Pointing out the actual problem which is that big farms that exist right now aren’t there to get food to people they are there to make money and they don’t care if it’s sustainable or if anyone gets to eat, is what I did. You’re the one glossing over that.

I don’t think “Food crops cannot sustain the current human population” is the most accurate. I think adding on an “indefinitely” or something similar would be more accurate. The problem is that there’s plenty more land and resources that could go to crops, but it’s more of a problem of how sustainable it is long term.

Topsoil erosion could outpace soil conservation especially with synthetic fertilizer, but if people aren’t getting food now or in our lifetime then it’s not caused by an inability to grow enough crops. It’s caused by companies being driven by the profit motive. It’s more profitable to let food go to waste than get it to people who can’t afford it.

Currently the technology is there to make more than enough crops for everyone, but how sustainable that is in the long term is not something that has been a priority. If more effort is put into making factory farming actually sustainable, which is the way things are starting to go although pretty gradually, then the only thing stopping people from getting food is the incentive to destroy/ let it rot rather than take any potential loss from not artificially inflating prices

There’s actually a whole bunch of laws regarding airbag inflators, a lot of which is because of their potential to be damaging to the environment and hazardous because of chemicals, but some of it’s because those are basically explosives or at least they used to be. So in a lot of places scrap yards take those out first thing because people aren’t allowed to buy them.

I guess that’s my meandering way of saying that air bomb is pretty much on point

Israel has had a very loose criteria for military targets if you take a look at recent history. I think you bring up a major point.

Considering Netanyahu just said he would attack foreign aid for Palestine. Israel's actions like the IDF sniping kids in convenience stores, and taking shots at the Japanese medical personnel during the cease fire of operation pillar of defense/cloud, and targeting media offices should call into question, what does Israel consider a military target?

If we’re looking into their heating capacity they should be able to heat approximately 7 and 1/2 gallons of water an hour. A lower end water heater can supply about 85 gallons of water per hour so you’d need about 11 of them to meet a small house capacity.

If we’re looking at their water holding capacity and power consumption. The average house has a 40-60 gallon water heater and a Keurig has a 48oz reservoir. You would need 107 to get to a 40 gallons capacity. When heating they use 1500 watts according to the Internet, so you’d need 160,500 watts (or 1,345.75 amps) of Keurigs to be the equivalent of a low end water heater for a house. The average 40 gallon heater uses between 4500 and 5500 watts.

You don’t need to get insurance just because you have a license. You can have a license and no car.

It could help you as far as some employers will ask if you have one and a few situations like that.

There’s no real downside other than paying for the drivers license test. Even after it expires it’ll still work for an ID.

Liftoff is great

I’ve had this happen 3 times in the last couple days. An uninstall/ reinstall fixed it the first time, the next two I fixed by going to account settings and removing my account then readding.

I have no clue why Google asks if I want to update my password ever time because it never suggests one when I try to log in, it just says my email with the liftoff logo and when I try it it’s not even my password it’s putting in.

What’s extra scary is the thought that there will be no stories coming out about how this is abused. Not to say that it won’t be, just that the stories that will come out will be how scary the world is and how the police are the only ones keeping everyone safe. Meanwhile some cop is watching someone sleep, or shower, or anything else in the privacy of their own home.

This is the first I’m hearing that Wolfenstein is not an fps. Why isn’t an fps?

Edit: The 1992 Wolfenstein 3d is definitely a first person shooter. The 1981 Castle Wolfenstein is not made by iD and is not a first person shooter. This article looks almost like it was made by chatgpt or someone putting in very little effort for it to be so off in the first sentence.

Just watch some Civvie 11 videos if you want to hear some history of FPS games and boomer shooters in particular.
