Discovery Zone, man. I actually feel bad for the kids that never got to experience Discovery Zone. Lasted for like 2 years. It apparently failed because they had a mountain of debt (all those plastic tubes are capital intensive buildouts) and adults had to sit around while their kids played.
I feel like if you made it work like a gym membership for your kids, and had something for adults to do off to the side, you might be able to make the numbers work.
Some of that is from white balance making the top picture look warmer, but even accounting for that, it’s a tragedy.
Le right generation
But we wouldn’t see sunrise/sunset.
The Estes Corporation makes rockets that will do 600 meters.
It’s great that Honda is doing this. We really need other companies in this area, because SpaceX is dominating it. Even if Elon weren’t a walking disaster, we don’t want one company so badly outclassing everyone else.
Eh, it’s just a start of development. It only goes 300 meters. Blue Origin goes higher, but even they aren’t in orbit.
Japan also has some odd limitations on their rockets as part of their self defense only constitution. They don’t build a rocket that could potentially be used to strike mainland Asia.
Why anyone would even start a YouTube channel right now is beyond me. Unless you’re planning to go full Louis Rossman and DGAF.
Aerosmith isn’t classic . . . goddammit.
Momma has a squeezebox daddy don’t sleep at night
It’s not like they’re part of a company whose core product is search.
Honestly, they’d be horrified at a bunch of things, some of which are on MAGA, and some on progressives. Maybe we shouldn’t be taking the ideas of slaveowners from over 200 years ago as seriously as we do.
“You guys cured smallpox, and there’s people who are working against the cure?” - Also Ben Franklin, who lost one of his sons to smallpox
Big Tech has done everything they can to convince people that they absolutely cannot be trusted with this.
Honestly, people make more of this than it is. I say that as someone whoes reading level in the 8th grade was rated “post-High School” in tests. Though IIRC, that particular test wasn’t considered accurate past a 10th grade reading level or so. Suffice it to say, though, I was always rated at least a few grade levels higher than my actual grade level when it comes to reading.
If you pick up examples of post-High School writing, you’ll find it’s hard to read. Basically, check any abstract on a paper for a technical field. It’ll be full of field-specific jargon and long sentences. Copy and paste it into a writing assistant like Hemmingway, and it will scream at you to simplify the sentence structure.
Converting to terms of Lexile level, Fellowship of the Ring has a rating of 860L. By a conversion chart, we would expect 50% of students to be able to read it by the spring of 4th grade. Even the bottom 10% of students can read it by the beginning of 10th grade.
That’s a relatively hard book; harder than what most fiction asks of you. Of Mice and Men, which is on plenty of High School reading lists, only has a Lexile level of 630L. Conversely, Romeo and Juliet can go up to 1260L (though this varies depending on the editing of different editions).
Just so we’re all aware, GPS jammers will invite the interest of the FCC. Now, protests aren’t about being well-behaved, but just know that there’s an entirely different federal agency being brought in.
Pixel 6 is the minimum that can load up GrapheneOS. Those are like $130 on eBay.
Pixel 8/9 does have some CPU features that help separate memory, which can be useful for keeping apps from creeping on memory they shouldn’t.
This is the sort of nuts and bolts of protesting that Americans are learning the hard and fast way.
Since you’re posting this all over the thread, I’ll also have to repeat the information that gyro/accelerometers are not capable of doing that. Small measurement errors stack up and throw it completely off.
Gyro/accelerometer data isn’t accurate enough to do that. Small errors in the data add up and will quickly drift away from the actual location. You can use it for video game controllers, but not tracking over large distances. Edit: there’s a reason the best VR tracking often uses external methods, not controllers alone.
But most phones have GPS and that’s where the real problem is.
Which sports team am I supposed to root for with this map? Do you expect me to make a careful analysis of team history and current lineup? Or do I pick the one in the state I was born in like a normal person?
