Because at lower frame rates your eyes don’t add motion blur. So you use the processing power to add it. If I had a higher refresh rate monitor I wouldn’t need motion blur.

My side hustle is real estate photography. Very flexible timing and I already had all the equipment. If I didn’t already own the equipment I wouldn’t have done it.

Only for very specific games, and only because I don’t have a high refresh rate monitor.

If I’m in Forza driving 200 km/h I shouldn’t be able to see the bricks I’m flying past. With my low refresh rate monitor I can, so adding just a hint of motion blur really helps add that flourish of immersion that I can’t get with my setup. But that’s again very specific games and only because I cap out at 60fps.

 

I’m planning a road trip in January with my sister and this will be the first long road trip I’ve taken in my car. I know we will have to stop a couple times, and I’m just trying to plot out our path.

I have an EV6 and love it.

It’s not going to be over until one of them concedes which isn’t likely to happen quickly. So I’ll relax after Christmas.

They are the reason the Soviet Union was a near peer to the USA during the cold war. When the Soviet Union lost Ukraine they lost their engineering and manufacturing sectors.

Heck up until the Russian invasion of Crimea in 2014, Ukraine was the one servicing all of Russia’s nukes.

My stove has been blinking 00:00 for as long as I can remember. Lost power briefly about 6 months after I moved in and I never reset the clock.

I work in the event industry as a production manager, I get to write these things.

As is typical when you have a large crew there will be dietary restrictions, some of them can be deadly. So before me or any of my crew starts unloading the truck I need to have a cold Dr. Pepper in my hand. If I don’t, we doordash, we do not eat the food provided.

I always say everyone should see requiem for a dream, but no one should watch it. That film does more for stopping drug abuse than any government program ever did.

They certainly do, I got mine last year. Once the supply chain sorted itself out it went back to normal.

I always recommend getting a lightly used car, preferably one that came off lease. It will still have all the warranty, be fairly up to date on safety / features, and be half the price or less of a new car.

The only reason I have ever condoned buying a new car, is if it’s at the end year and they are clearing inventory, or if it’s new old stock. If you find a 2023 model car on the lot in January of 2024 the amount of discounts to get that car off lot will be insane. I got a car that was retailing at $45k+ earlier in the year for just under $30k. They were trying to clear inventory, because the next day they were getting their shipment in of the next year’s model.
