Phone cameras tend to ramp up the saturation.

It gives the photo a more vibrant look, which many people prefer, at the expense of color accuracy.

But generally with artistic photography, you’re going more for a style than for accuracy, so I wouldn’t say it’s always a bad thing (though sometimes it is).

As an American looking in, Corbyn has always been the face of UK’s Labour Party.

Why was he ousted? The article says something about an antisemitism statement, but surely that’s not the whole of it.

Great photo. Actually, is this a photo?

I assume so.

If you’ve got a phone or laptop charger, then input voltage doesn’t often matter. They’ll work with either 120v or 230v.

And in general, you likely won’t be bringing non-charger electrical stuff with you when travelling.

So if you’re installing this in the US, it makes sense to just wire this with 120v. Peoples’ phone chargers will continue to work just fine.

In addition to questions of end-of-life, Existentialism also deals with questions of purpose-of-life. Which can be mind racking even if you’re not afraid of death.

Still not super interesting questions to me though.

I was gonna say this.

Existentialism is kinda boring IMO. But the philosophy of language, knowledge, and ethics are all super interesting.

Queen Latifah (Dana Elaine Owens) got her start as a rapper in the 1980s and began acting in the 1990s.

She is probably most known for her roles in Chicago, Hairspray, Bessie, and the Ice Age series.

These days, she stars on the CBS drama The Equalizer.

TL;DR

The two most popular insect specialists used to control spider mites are a ladybug named Stethorus punctum and a predatory mite named T. pyri.

And later they say that the ladybug was the go-to. But new EPA regulations prompted some farms to use pesticides that kill the ladybugs. So the predatory mites are better if you are using those kinds of pesticides.

If caching is properly configured, the cache (Cloudflare) will see thousands of requests, but the VPS should only see one request.

Just put the site behind a cache, like Cloudflare, and set your cache control headers properly?

They mention that they are already using Cloudflare. I’m confused about what is actually causing the load. They don’t mention any technical details, but it does kinda sound like their cache control headers are not set properly. I’m too lazy to check for myself though…

Damn. I never knew that these were mammals…

Fair. That was overgeneralizing German bureaucracy to the entire EU.

But I think the point that tech companies in Europe rarely survive still stands.

The EU is terrible at maintaining good tech companies.

Like, they have some really important and innovative consumer protection regulations, but they are really shooting themselves in the foot with this one…

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted.

Surely Putin thinks that. It’s not true, but I’m sure he thinks Russia is that powerful.

Does that make this a proxy war?

Weird to think of Russia as a puppet in a proxy war. They used to be puppet masters but oh how the mighty have fallen.

£1.5 million does not sound like a lot of money

That’s what… Three doctors?

I’d expect that once you count salary, benefits, and other costs like equipment and travel, that £1.5 isn’t going to pay for more than three specialists.

Definitely a crossword.

Officer 1: Thirteen down. Ten letters. Another name for a cauldron. Starts with ‘w’, ends with ‘t’.

Officer 2: That’s a witches’ pot, Ted.

This is a case for the cube rule!
