Because the executive branch has power over student visas.

My guess is I’d do better if every clock I owned was on 24-hour time. That’s how I did the Celsius switch, every device (except my car, which I haven’t been able to figure out how to change) I set to Celsius.

I was curious what they meant, too.

I have wondered if there is some mixing of non-stereotypical gender roles and gender identity. Like, if someone who grew up in the 90s and identified as a “tomboy” might consider themselves transmale or transmasculine if they grew up in the 2020s. But I don’t know enough to make any assumptions about this. Also it’s none of my business, really. It probably depends on the individual and how they see themselves.

(I do know JK Rowling has used a similar complaint in her TERFy ranting, which is why I tend to couch such curiosity in careful wording as best I am able.)

Why are all "modern" phones so full of cameras? One on the fucking screen & at least 2 on the back.

Because different lenses are good at different things. On a three-lens setup, one is usually a telephoto lens for distance, another is a standard wide-angle lens for normal photography, and the third is an ultrawide angle for capturing more of a scene and for macro ultra-close-up photography.

Also you can film in 3D using two of the three.

Multiple lenses are a big part of why phone images are as high quality as they are these days.

And the one on the front is obvious, it enables things like video chat, selfies, and sometimes facial recognition (though that can also work by infrared and lidar).

I’m confused. Are you so vehemently opposed to the notion that all boobs are beautiful regardless of size that it merits a block?

Not sure about newer apple silicon though

Apple Silicon is impressive as hell. The power consumption per performance is remarkable. A buddy of mine said on his M2 MacBook Pro, Factorio ran better even through emulation than it had on his other laptop. And much better once recompiled for the ARM architecture.

(That said, I’m sticking with the x86_64 I know and love to hate, since while I like other Apple products I’ve never gotten the hang of OSX.)

I’ve been trying to move over to 24 hour time. I swear switching from Fahrenheit to Celsius was easier.

I’m trying to adopt it, I think it works so well and can potentially clean up my speech a bit. 😅

Where is her mistcloak?

That’s a storming good idea.

Remarkably, it has happened. People suddenly decide to pay attention to authority when they’re in a terrifying situation they’ve never experienced.

Because someone needs to be the adult, and that person is never going to be Trump.
