Likely because it wouldn’t be reported to the government as thoroughly as hunting tags are. Politicians tend to be against policies that don’t directly give them clout when policies exist that could.

Tbh, I don’t expect any culture that considers tattoos to be taboo to be cool with weed.

There IS a full scale war going on. 31,000 confirmed dead Ukranian soldiers, and up to 120,000 dead Russian soldiers. We don’t even have a good idea how many civilian deaths, but the total death toll could be as high as 500,000.

And no, before you start - Mutually Assured Destruction isn’t “a full scale war”. Its Annihilation of both sides, and has no precedent in the history of war.

I think “modern game” is really a semantics thing tbh. Like, is Age of Empires 2 a modern game, old game, or ancient game? I think it really comes down to how you’re playing the game, rather than the year of original release.

Worms: Armageddon is another example. Is it an ancient game because of its release date, or is it a modern game because people are developing new rules and scripts to play the game by every year?

Considering Factorio is still in development and has a major upcoming DLC release, I’d call it modern. Plus the modding scene is still pretty active.

I feel like this is the type of item meant specifically for rich people to waste their money on. You’ll never actually use it, but it does look expensive when your house guests walk past it.

The worst part is that you might be better off with a pirated copy due to DRM on Blu-ray.

If you only use the TV to watch media, you’re lawful neutral. If you use it for gaming or anything else, you’re chaotic good.

They don’t have any taste even if you chew on them a bit. The box does have a slight shrub odor, but it doesn’t seem to be present when using them.

Yes. There’s a gui software called ‘Nmkoder’ that has an encoder built in called AV1AN. It basically cuts the entire video into a bunch of short segments, renders several copies of each short segments at different CRF values (basically Handbrake’s RF values), gets the VMAF for each segment, saves only the one thats closest matches your Target VMAF, and stitches it all together at the end.

It works for AV1 and HEVC, and let’s you pause and resume an encode at any time, though the whole process is quite a bit slower.

The real problem though is that doesn’t produce an even size between source materials of different sizes. For example: a 5 GB Amazon screen rip can encode down to 1.5 GB at 95 VMAF or so. However a 60 GB bluray rip encodes down to 24 GB. One thing I really look for in an encode is a 5-15 MBPS HEVC video stream, so this doesn’t really get what I’m wanting in most cases. It is fun to experiment with though.

I’ve tried to look into this by analyzing the media and encoder information, and all I’ve come up with is that tigole is slightly larger than Silence (by like 4%), but seems to use the exact same “sets” of encoding profiles. So in theory I believe they should be identical, but in practice might not be.
