I think they’ve got low to medium tier jokes, but with excellent pacing and timing and without any fear of going into fantasy space. They kinda keep you hoping for a much funnier one, but yeah, they’re not knee-slappers.

This one is decent and pretty typical: https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2005/09/09/home-city-usa

The man is in Super Extra Platinum Nobel tier at this point, a lot of people are saying it.

Nice, but even that is too optimistic… No player asks if the pawns want to play. There are no moves at all for most of us.

Oh okay… Never mind then :)

It’s a testament to the quality of the programming and testing that they show Mario on the screen only if he’s still alive. It would be easier to just show him without conditions.

There’s an in-browser game, a political simulation for Germany’s inter-war period from the point of view of the Social Democratic party (the biggest at the time, soon to be ousted by the Nazis): https://red-autumn.itch.io/social-democracy

You basically have to make lots of tough political and economic choices to try to slow down the explosive growth of the NSDAP party. It’s tough but very replayable.

Those usernames look suspiciously alike in style…

It’s a tiny bit premature to claim final ownership (unfortunately):

“…[I]t is not effective until Judge Guerra Gamble approves it, and Mr. Jones could appeal any ruling,” notes The Times. “That means the fate of Infowars remains in limbo until the court rules, probably sometime in the next two weeks. Mr. Jones continues to operate Infowars.com and host its weekday program, ‘The Alex Jones Show.'”

I think Americans have a subconscious and unsatisfied royalty fetish. Look at all the princesses and princes in children’s cartoons, Hallmark movies and books and so on. Almost every other country is culturally like “ehhh” about kings, but since Americans never had any, they keep edging themselves to these fantasies.

They’re finally learning what comes with it, the abusive and unjustified allocation of power, but not everyone is learning the same lessons or at the same rate…

Not all of them use the “case around a camera” approach (although a lot do, admittedly). The Olympus Tough series of cameras don’t, for example. And really, phones would have pretty simple seams around the battery.

Spoiler alert: they went for the large top-right tank.

Is this “sanctioned” or “sanctioned”? Its one of those aladeen words that has two diametrically opposite meanings.

“Tabled” is another one.

Mr President, no!

Ok, so, regarding these ideas:

• “it has not been revealed enough how damaging sugar is” – I would agree with this. I’m not sure that was his intention in particular.
• Ancel (intentionally?) overlooked some data when forming his theory – I would agree with this too. But it doesn’t make the harm of cholesterol moot. Or do you now want to ignore the other data yourself? It just makes the situation more complex than simply “fat alone is bad”. Too much fat is still bad.

He made a step, perhaps a bit too long in a mistaken direction, but understanding didn’t and won’t stop with him. How everyone reacted to his theory was also part of the fault.

Copy pasting some AI summary from Google since I’d never heard of it:

Key Improvements of AV2 over AV1

Higher Compression Efficiency: Early tests indicate a 30%–40% improvement in coding efficiency, enabling lower bandwidth usage for high-quality streaming (VMAF/PSNR improvements).
Larger Block Processing: AV2 supports superblocks up to
pixels, up from AV1’s
, allowing better handling of high-resolution video.
Enhanced Partitioning: Features fully recursive partitioning with improved flexibility (semi-decoupled luma/chroma).
Advanced Prediction Techniques: Includes Temporal Interpolation Prediction (TIP), data-driven intra modes, and improved chroma-from-luma modeling.
Newer Coding Features: Enhanced support for HDR10+, 360-degree video, and split-screen viewing.
Improved Screen Content Coding (SCC): Offers improved handling of screen content, crucial for application sharing and gaming. 

Technical Advancements

Transform Kernel Redesign: The codec uses new 8-bit multiplier-based transform kernels for better coding efficiency.
Data-Driven Transforms (DDT): Implements DDT for inter-predicted blocks to adapt to varying image textures. 

Development and Adoption

Timeline: The final specifications are expected late 2025, with hardware implementations anticipated for 2026.
Status: While 53% of AOM members planned to adopt within 12 months, the codec remained in draft status as of early 2026.
Licensing: Like its predecessor, AV2 is designed to be royalty-free. 

AV2 is designed to compete with VVC (H.266) while providing a significant boost to streaming efficiency, which will help reduce CDN costs and improve buffering in high-definition video applications.

And you think this guy invented heart disease, then?

A dietitian who “established the link between cholesterol and heart disease, created K rations for the US military” and died in 2004 aged 100 is the world’s greatest villain for you?..

Visualize a clever joke. Then realize this is nothing like that and you will reach enlightenment.

Try instead visualizing a racist quip that someone that voted for Trump might enjoy.

“Retribution” is a common false friend (faux ami) in English-Spanish translation, where English speakers might mistakenly use retribución to mean punishment, whereas retribución actually means compensation, payment, or remuneration.

And Spanish is not the only language where “retribution” means remuneration. English is the weird one here.
