American. Texan. Cowboy. Rancher. Farmer. Stockman. Democrat. Vegetarian. Atheist. Husband. Father. Brother. Friend. Self sufficient, responsible, a combination of Cincinnatus, Sir Thomas Moore and an aspiring redneck. Wickedly pragmatic.

Oh, and this is the anthesis of "desert bus" - the legendary video game in the smoke and mirrors compilation from Penn & Teller.

We're in alignment. The impression that the game is faster, more responsive, more liquid, and more engaging is what is most important, not the technical specs of pixels, texels, frame rates, and display response times.

Oh, that really SLAPPED it is so true and punctuates how far the USA has fallen under GOP leadership.

There are reasons why Cowboys love leather in their life.

Agree. 24fps for Cinema, 30fps for 'business', 240fps for 'full motion'. All of those intermediate frames must have content defined by artists or algorithm, be created, rendered, or interpolated and is very expensive instead of lower frame rate and lower detailed scenes.

We don't need manipulated data from the corrupt administration. Financial investment companies will create their own employment information on which to base their money making activities without relying on political fiction. Wall Street cares about losing money

and this was when CISA was led by Jen Easterly, and had massively more resources and focus on cybersecurity. Since the election, that has changed dramatically for the worse.

Here in Texas, I see so many Mexicans who will work their asses off in the cold, heat, rain and with their two hands, build a better life for their families. I would rather live next to this type of family that next to Abbott, Cruz, Cornyn or Ken Paxton (His wife divorced him on 'biblical grounds')

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

This is a true American, showing generosity of spirit and sharing with his community.

Our system of voting in archaic and hierarchical - we don't need an electoral college or politicians to make our decisions on our behalf. Instant voting, electronic, unique rings that plug in, encrypted and we vote and take back the power to the people.

Self-inflicted wound by politicians - Quantitative Tightening reduces money in circulation in an attempt to increase intrinsic value of a dollar.

There is a time to be a Southern or Western Gentlemen.
And there are times to ride hard, vigorously, and make it apparent to all to show who is the boss. I of course, am talking about equestrian activities.

Wireless mice & keyboards - the more durable variety without the internal batteries that fail and are not designed to be replaced.

When I see anyone who is blind, disfigured, suffering for a major disease or terminal illness, hungry, homeless or handicapped, my blood boils when i think of Oligarchs on their 600+ foot yachts, gold plated emolument violations, or trillion dollar salaries - how are humans so shitty???

TexasCowboy @texasdfwcowboy.bsky.social · 3h

It's a phase of life, that if we live long enough, we all go through. Doctors, Dentists, Ophthalmologists, Surgeons - why do the people we trust and respect have to retire, to be replaced by someone younger, less experienced and 'new'? The world moves on, and so must we.

Glad you made peace with it. This is a Ship of Theseus philosophical point - when all of the original Ship is gone, replaced by something 'newer' is it still the original ship or is it something else? We owe our parents so much and hoping you can make her life comfortable.

Disgusted with tesla board of directors, compensation committee, and musk himself - no human needs that level of compensation - it is a cancer on society.

TexasCowboy @texasdfwcowboy.bsky.social · 3h

I agree with your statement. The 50msec cognitive threshold for video is from video conferencing disruptions and the ability to re-transmit frames before the 'gap' is noticed. It's 'around' 50msec since brain anatomic variation. Some can sense 20msec gaps in video. YMMV.

If I see you driving a Tesla, you are part of the problem that created Elon Musk, an oligarch with disproportionate impact on politics. Get rid of your Tesla, ditch starlink, and deny any firm associated with elon musk your business. He will still be filthy rich, but it sends a message.

TexasCowboy @texasdfwcowboy.bsky.social · 3h

Tesla board of directors or the compensation committee directly contribute to inequality with these insane compensation agreements. The solution is to never purchase a product or service from any Elon Musk associated company and ensure no government contracts. zero profit = zero compensation bonus

Which United States attorney reminds you of Foster Brooks, the character actor who made his career by playing drunk all of the time?

Haven't gone to a starbucks since he became CEO.
Never will - my morals and ethics don't allow me to support that inequality. How many Starbucks employees are on SNAP or other benefits? How many Starbucks employees commute via company jet from newport beach, ca to seattle?
