    Currently most monitors use 16bits for colour (65,536 different possible colours).

    The human eye can see about 10,000,000.

    HDR / True colour is 24bits, 16,777,216 colour variations, which is more than what humans can see.

    You should care because it means images on your device will look true to life, especially as screens get brighter materials like gold will look much nicer.

    Unfortunately every countries military has nationalistic fascists, some of which use Nazi iconography to display their “pride”. I could find the 1940 Swedish general election (not at war), 1942 Icelandic parliamentary election (occupied by USA), 1943 & 1944 Irish general elections (not at war) as the elections held between Sep 1939 & Sep 1945, the other democratic European country’s I reviewed, elections were either postponed or went uncontested.



  • the main reason for reducing emission is to reduce the influence of Russia and China

    Do you mean reducing gas usage? All people I’ve talked to want emissions reduced to benefit the environment, not reduce the influence of Russia / China.

    the technology is similar to fracking for gas

    (I’m not going to be using the correct terminology) There’s multiple types of heat pumps that operate by transferring the heat via the ground, air or water source. These are air and (closed) ground types

    Whereas this is an (open) ground type

    The environmental effect of closed types is during manufacturing and what the electricity is sourced from (solar, coal etc).

    For fracking what happens is water is injected into the ground in an attempt to extract gas (very simplified explanation), the resulting water and gas can then make its way into local water sources which will effect the local population. An open heat pump system works by taking the water from ground water tables, using the water for heating / cooling and putting that water back into the ground, and due to the large size of these water sources, the average temperature doesn’t really change (lighting a fire outside doesn’t increase the temperature for your neighbour).

    Ripped from dukduckgo who inturn took it from ‘The American Heritage® Dictionary’

    Obligate (Adjective): Able to exist or survive only in a particular environment or by assuming a particular role.

    So an obligate carnivore is a being that can only survive in an environment where they are provided meat. The definition of obligate doesn’t state the the environment has to be naturally occurring, and I think that’s a semantic that isn’t discussed.

    A great white is a obligate carnivore in naturally occurring environments same as a cat/hawk/lizard etc. But when humans take anything out of its naturally occurring environment (cause we’re smart cookies) we can keep it alive and healthy by giving it all the nutrients it needs, and said nutrients be derived from vegan sources.

    I think that’s what they’re refering to as “no such thing” as an obligate carnivore. We can create non-natural environments where a carnivore no longer needs to be one.
