  • Dr Hannibal Lecter said he ate liver, fava beans, and Chianti, because those are all foods you can't eat when taking MAOI antidepressants, he was saying he wasn't taking his meds.

  • Any RPGs that take into account when you reload a save? Or that break the 4th wall like this?

  • The zero escape series sounds exactly like what you're looking for. It's very central to the plot. It's more of a visual novel with puzzles than an RPG though.

    Raging Loop is another VN with a similar premise.

  • 18 - the generally accepted age of majority

    It's 16 in Vietnam, Cuba, and Scotland. There's been repeated attempts to lower it in the rest of the UK so 16 year olds can vote.

    4 US states, 7 Canadian provinces, and New Zealand have an age of majority of 19 or higher.

  • You know it's going to be bad when it's almost literally called the "think of the children bill"

  • Why isn’t "Democrats would never get away with this" seen as a problem for the left?”

  • The last strong left wing politician America had was Huey Long, he was assassinated.

    In America, anyone who is left wing, actually willing to do what is necessary to effect change, and who gets vaguely close to power, either has their reputation assassinated or is assassinated more literally.

  • Taiwan considers TSMC export ban that would prevent manufacturing its newest chip nodes in U.S. — limit exports to two generations behind leading-edge nodes, could slow down U.S. expansion

  • This has to be a case of some kind of mental illness surely?

  • How fast can a Raspberry pi change its Gpio Pins per second?

    Jump

  • Short answer: It will probably work, since I assume you don't need the timing to be reliable. It could start to glitch if the pi is under heavy load.

    Since you're using python I'll assume you're using linux. Linux isn't a real time operating system, so it is generally terrible at doing things like this. The issue is your program can be paused by the scheduler while the OS is doing something else, so any timing you request is not guaranteed. Now, a pi is ridiculously overpowered for this, so you'll probably get away with it if that's all the pi is doing, but under heavy load you could see the OS prioritise other processes and your display will freeze.

    You could install the preempt_rt patches to make it do real time better, this changes Linux into something that resembles a real time operating system, I don't have any experience with it though.

    Generally something like this is better done by a microcontroller, because it isn't constantly trying to juggle a hundred different tasks like an operating system is.

  • "genuine leather" is often reconstituted leather, that is leather scraps ground up and bound together with a binder, like MDF.

  • Does each country have a book/library of the laws of the land that a commoner can consult to check if they're about to do something illegal?
