How?
- Comment on iPhone case with e-ink display lets users read books and comics without screen glare 10 hours ago:
This makes no sense to me. If you don't like glare on your phone then just get a matte screen protector. If you specifically want e-ink then just get a small ebook device that's a similar size to this case.
I just don't see a use case

That's what's so stupid about the whole problem - the solution is known and easy but it costs a tiny bit more to make so lots of manufacturers don't do it. It just needs to run off DC instead of AC. Simple.

Did he ignore flicker problems again like last year? Because flicker ruins lights for a lot of us

Wait, why is imgur blocked in the uk?
- Comment on Samsung reveals first tri-fold phone 4 days ago:
Almost no one buys a super expensive phone without trying it out in real life before buying it
- Comment on Samsung reveals first tri-fold phone 5 days ago:
This is a very cool piece of technology. The comments here naysaying about it seem odd to me. If it's not for you that's fine, but many millions of foldables have been bought over the past few years, and they continue to sell very well today
- Comment on Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy? 1 week ago:
I think it should be easy to identify when an account is being shared. For example if it's used from different ip addresses within a short amount of time
- Comment on Is there a word for when someone is not capable of, or doesn't try to understand verbal communication in a language, they are fluent in similar to functionally illiterate but for speech? 1 week ago:
If you can't understand a language then you aren't fluent in it.

Would this work as depicted? Wouldn't it just be a blur?
- Comment on So now that it's that time of year again in the US, what are some tips and tricks for dealing with that one relative who goes on about the same bullshit for hours and won't shut the fuck up? 2 weeks ago:
It sounds like OP does want to get together with some of their family, they just don't know how to deal with that one individual

Just politely say "I don't want to talk about that, let's talk about tv shows, what's your favorite comedy right now?" (Or whatever other mutually fun topic you want to talk about.) If he tries to keep talking about the topic just repeat that you're not gonna talk about that and offer a second new topic. If he still wants to keep talking about it say "alright I'm gonna go talk to someone else about a different topic, I'll catch you later", then walk away from him

Ope you're right

I think i can understand what you're saying. Unimportant sidenote, it's spelled carcass
- Comment on Why isn't it considered vegan to harvest animals who die naturally? 2 weeks ago:
I'm not vegan and I'm here to tell you that your argument isn't valid. Whoever invented a word doesn't get to permanently declare exactly what it means down to the tiniest detail. Words change meaning over time. I would guess that especially new words change over time. The word "awful" originally meant full of awe. The word "terrible" originally meant a thing caused terror.
It doesn't matter what the creator of the word thought.
- Comment on Why isn't it considered vegan to harvest animals who die naturally? 2 weeks ago:
It is going to be eaten no matter what. The chance of it being eaten is essentially 100%. So i can't see how that's part of the equation.

- Comment on Is it normal to feel intense fear when in the presense of any sort of yelling / loud arguments? 3 weeks ago:
I'm not sure i understand the cough thing, is it because that's what they would do as their biggest sign of upsetness?
- Comment on Is it normal to feel intense fear when in the presense of any sort of yelling / loud arguments? 3 weeks ago:
For me it depends on the type of yelling. If it looks like anyone might be in danger then I'm super activated, or if it's an adult yelling at a kid then I'm very upset, but if it's something like a boyfriend and girlfriend arguing about something juicy then I'm like oooo!

Stadia is good from a tech standpoint, the only problem was it was run by google
- Comment on Space is beautiful 5 weeks ago:
it's far easier to just look at recorded images or videos.
You're missing the idea of why this is cool. Recorded images only go back a couple hundred years
