I got 175, but oddly when I look at the final result it's off. If I had been asked to pick the dividing line when I can see all hues at once it would have been more to the right. My strategy was if I could see any hint of green, so by themselves some of the ones near 175 looked blue, but then pick up the green cast when they're near another green.

I tested again, slower, and still got 176.

    Plenty of people said both that murder is terrible and Kirk won't be missed. The two can co-exist. I seem to remember mods cracking down on humor about it. I guess that was a different instance... or something.

    They'll use the tools in place like they've been trying to do and deport the ones they can get away with. They don't want it going to a potential "woke" judge who throws it out, they want them out of the country, or just disappeared. Like I've said, this is one win, but everyone needs to stay alert and ready.

    Modern machinery is pretty incredible. I'm not sure how to go back to even steam power days to DIY. Hell, even some of that made back then was pretty precise. Those who do such craftsmanship are amazing.

    I don't see it as "both sides" but more too many are willing to lean and protect their own interests, so they don't agree with a lot from the right, but give into them with lots of excuses. Seems like it's about the same results, but it's fixable, unlike if half the left was actually Fedderman clones.

    To your number - I hope in that viewpoint we have that 0.5, that would be promising for eventual change, as it wasn't too long ago that having just a few progressive in the House was news.

    If it wasn't for Obama's roasting of Trump, we would have gotten a different version of MAGA. That was inevitable. I wonder if we got the better one? What if MAGA had put in place someone more competent, less history, and younger?

    Right now it feels like 2012 energy, where they were sure they had systems in place to keep things in check, and now they're regrouping and lashing out at a few of their own on the way. So get ready and be alert. This didn't destroy MAGA, it just blindsided them.

    are on pace for the biggest midterm landslide since Watergate

    That is an interesting comparison... what exactly was that about again? Hmmm.

    That's evolution. If it works... The repeated area being used is probably because of the location. And it's not that they evolved it by choice, but rather:

    "Harry makes weird noises out his rear end."

    All the moths laugh at Harry.

    Later, Harry doesn't get eaten and finds a mate, all because bats find him more annoying to track.

    Made something a few months ago and put it on Amazon. Have different variations of covers and two sizes (50 and 100 pages, for 25 and 50 observation nights). Looking for options on the concept, contents (you can view the interior pages for their layout on the Amazon page). Wondering if it's too flashy and a simple cover might work better, or if it's just because it's Amazon and there's too much competition. Or of course if it's just not what's being looked for.

    Made a thing: a couple of Bad Apple puzzle books. Turned it into a maze book and a word search book because... well, it's Bad Apple, and that's what we do with Bad Apple, right? Find a new medium for it. Available on Amazon for anyone who thinks "I need a physical puzzle book based on a 2007 fan video" is a reasonable thought to have. Genuinely curious about opinions. My biggest worry throughout (especially for the word search) was to get the lore as close to accurate as possible. I feel I did my best given the many hours of research, comparing conflicting information out there, and being generally overwhelmed.

    Running Ubuntu 22.04:

    I've tried searching for a solution to this, but there's way too many false positives. I know you can enable/disable using a single instance in two places, but that's not my issue. If I open a video the first time, VLC works fine. If I have both the "only use one instance" off, I can click on other videos and they run too. But if I have any combination of those boxes checked I can only play the first video, and to play a new video I have to manually close the VLC player.

    What I want to happen is to have one player spawn, but any new video will run in that player, overriding the existing video. Is that just not possible? I don't want to have to close the window every time I run something new, and I don't want to have to go back and lose a whole bunch of separate VLC instances when I'm done.

    Update: I found the solution, and I should have tried it first before posting. Oh well, at least I didn't leave anyone who might find this hanging like a DenverCoder9.

    Being Ubuntu, VLC was installed via Snap (I can't recall if I did it or it's default). I suppose I should look into the de-Snap process I've seen mentioned before, as I've also had a few non-crash errors since running Ubuntu where snap was the source.

    So the solution was to install the Debian version in terminal, not Snap. It works like I expect and wanted, and I can run video after video and it uses the same window.
