Verde is also green in Spanish. A quick translation tells me that in Latin it's Viridis which makes it make sense that it's similar in most Latin based languages.

I had a look at VaatiVidya's video on this (many spoilers, you are warned) and while this all looks incredibly awesome, all I can think about seeing some of the new weapons are how these things are going to be an absolute menace in PvP. Specifically the >!beast claws.!<

Good thing I'm already trash at PvP and am used to losing, because it looks like we're getting like 8 new variations on what made Rivers of Blood a meta pick. I'm not really that upset about it, PvP isn't my main draw to elden ring and I am going to have a ton of fun with these new weapons in single player, so I consider it a net positive, but even so, yeesh.

Most F-Droid stuff AFAIK should be pretty plug and play. It'll download an APK which you then just open in order to install the app. You may need a file browser app if your phone OS doesn't come with one. You may also need to allow installs from third party somewhere in the settings. But android isn't like iOS and won't generally restrict your ability to install whatever you want, outside of an options popup to make sure you know what you're doing.

I don't use LibreTube personally and can't speak on that specifically though, if it does something other than just download you an APK file.

Semi-related, are there Leftwingers that are righties unwilling to even say the name of?

Arguably Joe Biden, they've been calling him Brandon for years. But they make up stupid little nicknames for everyone.

This is the sort of use case that VR can be a great fit for if someone put the money into creating it. Roblox isn't the medium for this.

"Could threaten access" what a shit headline. They are already actively denying access in their controlled areas. This isn't a problem that's forming, this is a problem that is already here and already large.

In a very basic sense a "clock" is just a fixed oscillation. In CPUs, for instance, all your data is carried by bursts of electricity that you can think of like Morse code. Bits are delineated by the clock, which is one wire that lights up on a regular interval and does nothing else (the "clock signal"). Every other process uses that clock signal as a reference point to know when one piece of data ends and the next begins. Essentially the time between one clock signal and the next is one "frame" of CPU time and you'll usually have a few million or so of those every second.

So if we think of this in a physics sense instead of a computer science sense, a physics clock could be any particle or particle interaction that happens repeatedly on a regular schedule. It could even happen on an irregular schedule, there's no law saying the clock has to be consistent. I think it's probably on a regular schedule, but for all we know the pico-femto-Planck or whatever the basic unit of time ends up being defined as might have slight variance caused by who knows what. But the important idea to take away is that a "clock" in a fundamental sense is basically just any action that repeats. It could be or look like anything. Maybe time is tied to quantum foam fluctuations, or gravity in a general sense, or specifically the up quark doing something. I have no idea and I think this researcher probably doesn't either.

Sure, if you consider the complete destruction of an entire ethnic group of people to be "peace". Can't fight if they're all dead. But if you truly do think that way, you are the problem and I recommend a long walk off a short pier.

That's exactly how you guarantee a permanent guerilla terrorist force.

Us Americans are pretty dumb, unfortunately. I like to think I'm not, and even so really the only reason I clicked into the comments here was to clarify if that meant Georgia the country or Georgia the state because I could absolutely see Georgia the American state trying to run this. I'd expect it more out of Florida but shit's all fucked up everywhere these days. I appreciated that clarifying comment.

My man you are wearing Arizona State football gear as armor, I don't think you get to count that as Roman decor
