there’s also a big difference between drinking minutes old raw milk directly straight out of the teet, vs commercial operations where the milk is a few hours to days old and is bottled with equipment that isn’t perfectly cleaned between each bottle and then consumers sticking it in a fridge for a week. The former is just something farmers are going to do if they want and isn’t really a serious public health concern imo (although still not without risk) and can’t really be regulated away anyway. the latter exposes way more people and is way more dangerous, and that IS able to be regulated out of existence.

so which canadian politician is gunna resign this time?

That’s the average in (early) 2024. With bird flu the current commodity price is 7/dozen and expected to rise. The joke above was meant to reference the sudden and alarming spike in egg prices. Without public health intervention things could get pretty bad.

She’s not going to win if no one uses her name. MERIT STILES.

A big part of why it doesn’t have as big a visual impact is because scenes have to be designed to be acceptable without ray tracing. Not only that but with mandatory ray tracing mechanics that are reliant on RT can be implemented.

The opening of Indiana jones has quite a lot that isn’t possible traditionally and looks pretty awesome to my eyes.

Currently the most popular gpu according to the steam survey is a 3060. That plays the only other mandatory RT game, indiana jones, at 60fps on high. A 2080 can play on low at 50.

The first ray tracing GPU came out 7 years ago (rtx 2080), eternal came out in 2020. In 2013, the top card was a gtx 680. Eternal lists it’s minimum specs as a 1050ti and from some quick google people trying to run on a 680 are getting sub 30fps on low. Of course just supporting ray tracing doesn’t mean it will actually be playable, but indiana jones (the only released game that requires RT today) seems to get 50fps on low with 2080s.

Fwiw a few 2080 supers are going for sub 50 bucks on my local buy and sell groups.

There are many who say they are Catholics but I have no idea how many actually follow these rules.

In April 2011, the Guttmacher Institute published the results of an analysis finding that 99% of all women of reproductive age who have ever had sex—including 98% of such Catholic women—have used a method of contraception other than natural family planning.

By their early 20s, some 79% of never-married women—and 89% of never-married Catholic women—have had sex

For the same reason I refuse to refer to mastodon or bluesky posts as anything other than tweets.

Sounds horrible, Y’all need to sit down and play luigi’s mansion to help make yourself feel better

I can’t think of a game that doesn’t have it, unless you mean for your teammates and opponents? That seems like an obvious way to reduce toxicity, and avoid giving info to people trying to DDOS their opponents. Modern games you don’t need to lead or trail your shots based on latency, if it hits on the shooters screen it will hit. this is often called “favour the shooter”.

I went in on an office lottery thing, we won 20k, ended up being about 500 ea. In takehome But still nice, it was mostly about the thrill of winning more than the winnings themselves, it was my first time buying in. I also won a 400 dollar smart watch at a work raffle.

Like it or not he is a big part of deciding the direction of car culture and what cars are cool and what cars are lame. Had he focused more on electric cars* or spent less time demonizing and othering bikes and buses then things could have gone better.

* Electric Cars are not an ultimate solution to climate change but they are important transitionary technology while countries rework their infrastructure.

I walk by the cheese monger and point at a cheese and say “that looks tasty what is it”.

Not to diminish your achievement at all but that is not going cold turkey.

Errant signal: art, indie and retro video game essays

Some 3d movies add the depth in post, those look like cardboard cutouts, more expensive films use the full 3d camera to record the film, those look much better but are quite rare, especially now the fad is mostly played out (and some movies, like most marvel films, use a mix of the two techniques). I agree the focus thing is an annoying problem and that even with the better version it doesn’t add much.
