The background/track here is completely white because you are only seeing the finish line. It's the same effect, but the finish line is solid white. So the background is solid white.

And the shadows, you gotta remember you are only seeing the slices of the shadows as they were at the finish line itself at different points of time so to might get part of an arm and part of a leg at different angles that are then stitched together.

Edit: this might be better.. the shadows in front aren't being projected ahead. They are just happening at the line earlier than the shadows behind the runners. The only physical dimension here is up and down, right and left represent time, not forward or backwards.

Or maybe the extreme condition known as out of doors

I think it's much more likely that he's just a bigot with way too much money and an ego so large that he cannot even accept the possibility that he might ever be wrong about anything.

I'm all for it, but I'm not jumping on board to ev until the infrastructure is at a point where charging is as quick and easy and ubiquitous as filling up gas. Or at least closer than it is now. Then again I will admit I don't have an EV so I haven't been able to personally experience what that is actually like.

I could however see getting an EV in a two car household where the primary purpose of the EV is for commuting and just getting around locally. Anything beyond that though I would still feel more comfortable with gas or a hybrid.

Come on, you know nobody is assuming the president is "in line" for the presidency. They are just counting from the president at 1 and using the term in line. The speaker is the third person to be president after the president and vice president.

As I said, no judgement from me one way or another. Also we have no way of knowing what kind of contract she had or whether there was some kind of morality clause. Maybe this violated it. Maybe not.

All I was saying was that, whether right or wrong, employment can be terminated pretty much anywhere in the United States for any reason as long as it's not a protected thing, which this almost certainly is not. So saying something is or isn't a fireable offense probably needs some context. Because anything could be a fireable offense if the company thinks it is.

I don't know so I won't speak to that, and no judgement of right or wrong here, but this is the US. Anything is or can be a fireable offense so long as it's not one of a few specific protected things. In almost every state. So making a post on social media pretty much regardless of content can be a fireable offense if the company deems it so.

I would say though that it's not really a great choice unless you are already pretty tech savvy. And these days, less and less people seem to even know how to actually use a computer, let alone one that runs Linux.

No, they meant the democrats nominated him, or put him forward as their candidate for speaker. Not that he won the vote.

I'm all for paying devs for their work, but I am still finding the pricing for the lemmy version of sync just too high. The ad free purchase is 4 times more than it was for the reddit app. And I get that there are probably less users so he needs to make up the difference, but there's also way less content on lemmy than there was on Reddit, impacting the value there in my opinion.

I don't care how you spend your money, but you were the one arguing that the game is only 35 dollars and that almost all your ships were in game and flyable. So it certainly seems like you have spent more than that. So it certainly seems this game is much more expensive to the people that are still most interested in it.

Have you watched lower decks or strange new worlds? Strange new worlds is in my opinion easily the most "star trek" of the newer shows and I think it's excellent. Lower decks is obviously a cartoon but it too manages to somehow feel more like star trek than discovery and often Picard and it's just a lot of fun and seems to be self aware enough to make it silly while still feeling like Star Trek.

The orville is also great and great star trek, too bad it's very likely not returning for more.
