Doesn’t make it any less cool, but this is a false color composite image make from a bunch of shots stitched together.

I find this data very suspect. Greece is one of the poorer countries in the EU and somehow it takes fewer generations than far more rich countries like France and Germany? The only thing that makes sense is that they mention the mean salary, so Greek wages are so low that you don’t need much to get up into the mean salary range, I guess.

She looks like a funny little goofball.

I miss my tortie so much. Had her for 23 year. Best cat ever.

“Umm… excuse me. WTF are you doing? I haven’t been fed in an eternity. Must have been at least a whole hour since my bowl had food. Go get me nom-noms.”

That is one pretty kitty, but I’m sneezing just looking at the pic. There’s gotta be white and black fur everywhere.

My old kitty loved to sit “Sphinx style”. Front paws out similar to the cat in the pic, but her rear paws were under her.

it’s screen is 720. I would not expect Nintendo to go above 1080 on the screen and maybe output a scaled-up 4K when docked.

I don’t doubt it… Nintendo is always years behind.

The PS5 came out in 2020 and this Switch2 is probably a year away. So that would make their hardware be roughly 4 years old in terms of power. Plus if this is roughly the size of the current Switch, it won’t be pushing more than HD-resolutions (current Switch is only a 720 display), so getting PS5-level graphics on a 1080 screen these days is not particularly complicated or expensive.

No we do not.

one unresolved corner of physics

Hardly! People board airplanes every single day and we still don’t fundamentally understand the mechanisms of how lift works.

I’m curious how long does your phone battery last these days?

It used to be that my early smartphones from years back would barely last a day and I’d be looking for a charger all the time. With my latest phone, on a reasonably heavy use day, I can go to bed with about 50 to 55% battery left. And last night, I barely used my phone at all and went to bed with like 65 to 70% battery left. And to be clear, it wasn’t sitting on a charger all day either. I got up, went to work and at the end of the night was left either enough battery to last be the entire weekend if I had continued the low usage.

Battery tech, and CPU and screen efficiency has advanced enough to where getting 2 days is not uncommon and I don’t care if it takes a couple of hours to recharge it at night. I also think much of the initial excitement of having a smartphone has died down so I’m not on it 24/7. Also having a tablet to offload some usage time helps as well.

So ultimately super fast chargers seem almost useless to me for most situations if they degrade the battery at all.

As with most things, the US will do it.

They are laughing at you, not with you.

Don’t let him sleep during the day.

If you keep on waking him up during the day, he’ll be so tired at night that he won’t bother you.
