reallynotnick, to news in 'Renters Are Struggling': Economists Back Tenant-Led Push for Federal Rent Control

True I guess I was reading more into the original comment on taxing more than appreciation and such. I know there are tax benefits to primary residence already, which maybe covers their original idea, but I figured it would be even higher taxes for foreigners for non-primary residence or something was what they were suggesting.

Even if they lie requiring X months would at least put a cap on how many they could own since there are only 12 months in the year.

I’m going to be a god damn shark, I’ll chew all my food in one bite with my blender of a mouth.

There won’t be any gerrymandering for President unless they are able to change State boarders. Voter suppression in targeted areas however is possible.

I mean for RAM I’d just look at what you are currently using when working by pulling up Activity Monitor and seeing if you have a ton of swap going on. And then figure out how long you plan on using the system and add some buffer assuming RAM needs will increase over time.

reallynotnick, to news in Jamie Foxx apologizes to the Jewish community for social media post

Saying “they” vs “we” would make me think he means a group he isn’t a part of. Now what that group is could be debated, could even be as broad as white people or foreigners or friends/people close to you. Hard to know without context, but the fake friends hashtag does somewhat allude to being back stabbed by people close to you (though one could apply the term friends to any group too).

I think his excuse makes sense, but I also understand how people could easily jump to assuming Jews (I’ll admit that would be my first gut reaction)

*As long as you define limitless as 10kWh or like less than 1/5th of an EV battery

reallynotnick, to news in Actor Paul Reubens, of PeeWee Herman fame, dead at 70

Man either the guy really thought he was going to beat this or he just needed a reason to hang on: “…he recently penned the first draft of his upcoming memoir. He had also put the finishing touches on two more Pee-wee movie scripts and was developing projects for television, including a variety show and a western called Fancypants.”

Shame those won’t see the light of day, at least not with his further involvement of course. That sounds like a ton of work. Source: yahoo.com/…/paul-reubens-best-known-pee-170902189…

Fancy? As in are these the logos for Webp and JPEG XL? Then yes, these are logos.

JPEG XL is a new image format that has better compression and more features like HDR over JPEG.

Respect

reallynotnick, to technology in JPEG XL: How It Started, How It’s Going

Hopefully this gets wide adoption, I’m ready for a next gen image format and this seems like a great choice (even if there is something ironic about calling a compression technology “XL”)

reallynotnick, to gaming in 70 percent of gamers avoid certain games because of 'toxic communities', study finds

Yeah I know a lot of people will just turn chat off for that reason.

reallynotnick, to apple_enthusiast in Samsung Debuts New $1,599 ViewFinity S9 5K Display to Compete with Apple's Studio Display

Yeah love my Dell monitors, I’ve had 3 UltraSharps and currently have a UP3017 and it’s great.

I really want something that is ~200PPI and has an IPS Black panel as my next monitor and it needs to have a built in KVM and adjustable stand. (120hz would be nice too, but idk how possible that is at such a resolution). So I’ll just keep using this monitor until something finally comes along, it’s crazy how long it’s taken for “retina” monitors to become widespread.

reallynotnick, to technology in 'Welcome to EV dongle town': the future of EV charging for non-Tesla owners may not be as bad as it looks.

Feels too bulky and complicated for an e-bike or handheld lawn tools, riding lawn mower though… maybe?

If the AC to DC conversion is done inside the device then a kettle plug seems like enough to effectively max out a standard outlet. If it’s being done outside of the device I guess it depends on the wattage they can pull, USB-C could do 240W… idk if there is another standard that can carry ~1KW of DC power.

reallynotnick, to assholedesign in Netflix is a Nickle & Dime Outfit

The HDR part is what kills me, if anything HDR seems to compress better than SDR. So it’s not even a bandwidth thing to provide 1080p HDR.

And the 4K upcharge was fine when I could share it with my siblings since it gave us 4 streams at once. Now I only would need 1 stream, so I can’t even get the full benefit of what I would pay for.
