Even when the pedestrian has an active do-not-cross signal?

This morning some pedestrian stared me down as he started crossing in front of me at a leisurely pace while I approached going 45 mph with a green light. Not a single fuck given.
Monkey's paw closes as Netanyahu puts a suicide vest on a Palestinian child that he sends to meet Khamenei.
I don't want to alarm you, but we're now 22 years past your graduation. "Almost ten years" and then some.
I was interrupted before I submitted this comment, and I see you've gotten some replies since I wrote the draft, but my comment goes a little deeper, so I figured I'd still add on.
FALD and mini LED are similar in function, but mini LED has a couple advantages. Since the actual LEDs are smaller, you can place a larger quantity of them behind the LCD panel than traditional LEDs. This allows for more dimming zones to reduce the halo effect, and also enables higher peak brightness which means better contrast.
IPS and VA refer not to the backlight system, but to the actual liquid crystal display panel that sits in front of the backlight. The LCD itself is like an array of microscopic window shutters that can turn clear or black. By placing this LCD behind a color filter layer, the LCD can control light passing through each subpixel (red, green, blue) of the filter layer to produce the appropriate color for each pixel. Each panel type (IPS, VA, TN, etc ) has its own set of advantages and disadvantages when it comes to cost, response time, image ghosting, viewing angle, color accuracy, contrast, etc. Each of those panel types could be paired with an edge-lit backlight, FALD backlight, or mini LED backlight.
OLED is a completely separate technology altogether. Instead of putting an LCD filter layer in front of a backlight, OLED puts individual white LEDs behind each red, green, and blue subpixel of the color filter layer. That means instead of a liquid crystal layer blocking out backlight (which is imperfect and still bleeds light, hence the FALD halo effect), an OLED simply does not emit light for that pixel/subpixel, allowing perfect blacks and better color accuracy.
QLED and QD-OLED trade the white LED backlights and white OLED panels for blue light and discard the traditional color filter layer, replacing it with a sheet of quantum dots that use some kind of black magic optical fuckery to change blue light into red and green as well.
Don't give them an inch.
For those who don't know, Qantas once repaired a damaged aircraft that would've otherwise been a write-off for the sake of maintaining their perfect no hull-loss record.
We've known this for so long, how is it so difficult to just set a maximum height commuter vehicles?
Because the United States EPA designed fuel efficiency regulations in a fucked-up way that incentivizes manufacturers to produce larger and larger trucks.
You left out an 'N.' I'm gonna have to escort you out of the comment section.
But we did recently invent a new color, or at least a new way to perceive color.
The Iowa officials? I agree. While this article makes no mention of what was approved for the 2024 holiday season for comparison, I was able to find that there was a rosary prayer event at the Iowa state capitol. Someone could have used the rosary beads to strangle, or used Catholic guilt to emotionally abuse children. Given the risk of danger to the children, that event should not have been approved.
Now I assume you were talking about The Satanic Temple and not the Iowa officials. TST performs an important role in our society of reminding the community and the legislators that Christianity cannot be given preferential treatment by the government. They are a vital warden against the tendrils of theocracy. That is to say, for what they do to be perceived as problematic, there is a greater failing that needs to be addressed. If everything is working as it should, there are either no religious displays in government venues, or all religions are welcome.
