  • There needs to be a term for someone that ignores everything like a sieve, but manages to catch the smallest of morsels off which to launch a fallacious diatribe, as though nothing else happened.

    They’re not.a.troll; they’re something quite different. A mix of insecurity, hyperfocusing, a tendency to exercise many argument fallacies, a resolve that can deny itself, no clear purpose in its behaviour beyond either “winning” or perhaps just seeking social interaction.

    I’d go with “Teflon” because nothing sticks, but it doesn’t cover their wannabe polemicist nature.








  • Probably. I have doubts a single human CNS exists that can. Our eyes and brains manage to process around just 40–60fps and higher rates are for visual fluidity only. To notice ghosting etc at rates four times or more what your brain needs to perform, it’s probably an indicator that you’re looking for excuses that hard.

    It’s like all the anti-blur and strobing stuff we’ve invented. The panel is showing everything at full clarity, but our eyes are the weak point and can’t process enough, so they fill in the blanks, creating what appears to us as blurred but actually isn’t at all. Strobing the panel helps trick the brain into not doing this, kind of like how we use a strobe light for reading engine timing, otherwise it’s too fast and the eyes translate with blur.

    Don’t get me wrong, 520 is cool because it means monitors are so good these days, that’s all they got left to try work toward until the next big leap in tech comes along. But almost anyone will fail a test of guessing which of the five monitors is the 520.








  • Here’s the thing; bacon, eggs, sausages, bread, and potato for hash browns costs fuck all. Get these ingredients for $50 worth, and you will enjoy a breakfast of this calibre for many mornings. The missing ingredient is motivation. That’s why you pay 80% extra to get someone else to do it and it still seems like an excellent deal.

    Remember this when the menu is doing eggs benedict for $23. It better be real fucking good eggs benny because the contents on that plate cost very little.
