I would like to know what pain killers she is using. Old age hurts like mad.

These bans are worthless unless you actually enforce them.

I’m surprised General Mills (and other cereal companies) haven’t put the treasure trove of stuff like this that they already own into a branded app or website. It would make good promotional material. I’m reminded of when you could get free Halloween records on the back of Boo Berry and Count Chocula.

Thanks!

Nevermind the decal — i want to know what model of car that is?

Radar needs pettings, scritches, and extra treats to help him deal with this upsetting news.

Photography has always been political.

In part because the photographer is sending a subversive message and the idiots posing for the photo are too stupid to realize it, or worse endorse the message.

Such a horrible product name.

That whole section of the Dewey system is strange. Programming, computers, journalism, library science, then witchcraft, the unexplained, fung shui, tarot.

Like why aren’t the computer books sorted next to science and math topics? Or electronics? Who decided this? (Dewey was long dead before people started writing computer books).

I won’t be surprised if/when Gov Abbott eminent domains this land for SpaceX debris.

The busses where I live stop every fifteen feet. It’s faster to walk.

We still have a couple of local groceries here that give you paper bags.

They work until your state government is run by oil & natural gas lobbyists.

That road in the photo needs to be repaved.

If you’re really saving 20% in file size with XL, adding back a very compressed preview image that takes up one or two percent isn’t going to cost you much.

All you have to do is add a small traditional JPEG image at the start of the file. It doesn’t have to be high resolution or more than a couple of kb. The new format decoder would know this, and skip the traditional jpeg “header”, rendering the newer file format embedded in the image.

I would be more excited about JPEG XL if it was backward compatible. Not looking forward to yet another image standard that requires OS and hardware upgrades simply so servers can save a few bytes.

You could compress the hell out of the traditional jpeg codec/layer part of the image. It’d be there for backwards compatibility. It only has to be readable by older clients and “acceptable” quality.

See “49kb” example here — totally acceptable image quality for backwards compatibility.

I know what Betamax is.
