Did you guys hear about how the climate change thread is digging their heads into the sand and deflecting from the horrors of climate by saying stuff such as "theres cringe in the soil" and "theres cringe in the Himalayas"??

Holy Moly! DARKSEID IS!

I genuinely didn’t know who Seraph was and I’m glad I didn’t. What a deeply disturbed person.

And the climate change folks. It’s here already, why not spend a little time considering how to work with local community or focus on an area of the world that needs the most help on how to adapt to life and mitigate the worst outcomes? I mean it’s fine to be upset about it but trying to make things suck a tiny bit less feels like the best action to take.

It is pretty cathartic to be right on the internet and knowing that someone else is wrong. It's when you start chasing that instead of trying to make literally any meaningful contribution that you hit the spiral.

He posted a picture of himself kicking back and showing off his Bitcoin-patterned socks once and somehow didn't die from embarrassment.

because tv chat was productive last time:

i've always bought old, competitively priced off brand tvs, and am finally making the jump to a 4k oled or whatever. am i pretty much going to be blown away by any new tv? is the $200 price jump between samsung and sony noticeable? i don't mind paying more if it's a noticeable difference or a great feature or one company has longer lasting parts or something

that said if you get an OLED look up some setup guides from a review site because they love to have the default settings set so bright colors sear your eyes

the way OLED renders black levels make the picture distinctly different from any other set besides maybe a plasma (never seen one)

TV default settings are bad. Tom Cruise literally did a PSA to teach people how to turn off motion smoothing.

I used to sneakily turn off motion smoothing on my dad's giant 4k TV whenever I visited home, thinking he either wouldn't notice the difference or would suddenly notice things looked better, but then he kept turning it back on so I gave up :negative: the motion smoothing illuminati got him

My parents are afraid of touching any button on the teevee remote that isn't a channel number or volume, and it's sort of a pain that I have to sometimes fix their settings when there's a weird update or something, but I get the feeling it'd be a million times worse if they got it in their heads to go around messing with all this stuff.

Wikipedia posted:


A current of electrons flows through the device from cathode to anode, as electrons are injected into the LUMO of the organic layer at the cathode and withdrawn from the HOMO at the anode. This latter process may also be described as the injection of electron holes into the HOMO.

...

the HOMO level of this material generally lies between the work function of ITO and the HOMO of other commonly used polymers, reducing the energy barriers for hole injection.
