Well, sure some things may look fine now, but when people.get that old it only takes one thing to throw them.off the rails.

Both Biden and Trump are at risk of the same thing because they are both old as fuck.

President is a 4 year job commitment.

When my grandpa was 86 he was perfectly healthy and gardening outdoors and doing living independently in his 2 storey house.

By the time he was 90 he was practically in a wheelchair and confined to one level of his house and unable to go outside to his backyard.

My grandma was at that point from 64-68

People over 55 should not be allowed to run for president.

I’m concerned about both Biden and Trump viability in office, as many people are…just because you complain about Biden doesn’t mean you support Trump.

Yeah I’m Canadian, our system works fairly similarly. We vote liberal or conservative, but the leader can be different depending on the party vote.

Our Trudeau could still decide to not run for PM next election though if he decided not to run.

Your party can’t tell you to lead the party if you weren’t voted in as part of that party since you didn’t run at all.

If only leaders could step down before the inevitable loss for the good of their voters and their party… Cough Biden… Cough Trudeau… Cough

Everyone always disparages the cost of public transport but how much does it cost to maintain these highways every year? A few dozen/hundred billion dollars across the country?

Probably old enough the parent thinks they’ll be fine on their own for a bit, but young enough to be a hassle to bring along on a “short” errand.

It’s because Democrats don’t worship Biden as some Jesus reborn patriot whereas Republicans worship a literally prideful, envious, slothly, wrathful, greedy, gluttonous, and lustful old man as some Jesus reborn candidate.

Someone I lived with temporarily kept the processed parmesan cheese (the dusty stuff in a jar) in the cupboard instead of the fridge. It baffled me.

This is why people shouldn’t need to have to choose between two 80 year old candidates

The presidency requires a lot of travel. If your performance and capabilities are significantly affected by jet lag, you probably shouldn’t be the president of a large and powerful nation. I imagine Trump will be affected just as much by jet lag as well if he were elected.

I wouldn’t imagine even a privately owned business would qualify for privacy. I don’t expect any privacy when I’m walking around in Walmart.

Trump cult will just claim it’s all the more likely the jury was rigged.

It’s because that’s the level the average American can understand.

Lots of healthy, happy people with disposable income.

It’s really not that difficult to wear a seatbelt, I don’t understand the people that don’t. It’s less restrictive than the belt holding up your pants and it’s not like there is an annoying shoulder strap.

Not the original you replied to. And I had a typo when trying to spell typo 😂 just adding to the conversation. Wasn’t disputing you, just meant the may have meant refresh rate instead of resolution. Easy mistake. It’s still quite disputed how well eyes can tell the difference in refresh rates.

I imagine it was a typo*, but this article in Nature reports that in specifics circumstances the median maximum that people can perceive a difference may be around 500hz, with the maximum in their test possibly being as high as 800hz.

Normally though it seems closer to 50-90hz, but I’m on the road and haven’t delved too deeply into it

Edit: Type to Typo

Definitely think owning dogs should require a license and a test of some sort like driving a vehicle.

Can’t control a 120lb dog? Class B license instead of Class A license.

Only allowed to buy dogs under 100lbs.

Don’t understand how feeding and training works? No license for you.

Licenses for being able to own non-fixed animals as well. Being able to breed dogs and cats needs to come with way more responsibility as well.

Unfortunately it doesn’t look like it. I misremembered a few details, he “died” from natural causes in prison, not execution. The court ruled “Schreiber is either alive, in which case he must remain in prison, or he is dead, in which case this appeal is moot.”

His name was Benjamin Schreiber.

I think there was a case somewhere that the prisoner was sentenced to death, and was executed ina fashion that didn’t quite work.

But technically he did die for a minute or two before his heart restarted, and he sued to be released from prison because he technically served his sentence.

Well, we call the stuff we breath “air” despite it being 80% nitrogen. It would be a bit weird saying we breath nitrogen. “Air” is a general catch-all term for the mixture of things that we breath.
