Take a look at how the median income in America compares to your country.

It's not fishy (at least not intentionally so). It's a limitation of their database. It can only show 1000 comments. So it won't find your very old posts when you sort by them.

So they're not restoring comments. It's just very difficult to find your old comments to actually delete them.

The benefit of the 4k is that you get HDR. On a good TV, that's far more noticable than the resolution improvement and certainly worth it.

But then you're looking at 60-100 Mbps bit rate for good quality (50-80 GB file size for most movies).

Where are you getting that? This says 15 Mbps.

I'm sure you're going to have a worse or slower experience particularly when scrubbing, but it should be just adequate.

The issue is energy density. There's a reason why boat tanks are ~6 times larger than a cars gas tank. That's why they're so expensive (plus batteries are much heavier).

What do you mean by this?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

What I mean is that take a situation where someone was convicted of murder, but the reality is that was a false conviction and they were only guilty of manslaughter.

I shouldn't have used the "innocent person" phrasing because that's too low resolution for this discussion. You can't always neatly put a person into innocent/guilty categories.

The Bolt EV or the Leaf are just that.

I'm not sure why you act as if all innocent people are completely innocent. It could be that they made mistakes and we're careless and that was a part of what led them to being falsely convicted.

Literally zero incentive is an extremely high bar and certainly incorrect.

I understand wanting to ensure there's a better incentive than currently exists, but giving them the death penalty for false death penalties is just a roundabout way of stopping the death penalty. So you may as well just do that directly.

Nah, if Google maps says it takes 10 hours, then it takes 10 hours with stops unless you're in the bottom 10% of traffic (such as if you're a truck towing a trailer).

If you're like most people going 5 to 10 mph over, then you'll beat Google maps time by about 15 minutes per 2 hours of drive time without stopping.

The difference is that we don't give the death penalty to somebody who accidentally does something wrong. And we especially don't do that in such a deliberate drawn out process.

Do we ever give the death penalty to someone who kills someone by accident or in an unfortunate situation?

You analogy might be relevant if the DA knew the person was innocent and intentionally framed them and/or continued to prosecute. But it's not remotely the same to have done so and been mistaken.

 

I'll be visiting ft Collins in early August and renting a bike. What are the best trails to check out around town. I'll be working until about 5 PM so the trails need to be reasonably close to the city and 2 to 3 hours in length so I can make it back before dark. I expect to have 3 to 4 evenings available.

I'm an intermediate rider. I will likely be renting a Ripley or Ripmo. Any suggestions on what trails to check out (or where/what bike to rent) are appreciated.
