For most of the year, Assam (loose leaf) with a splash of milk; when it's available, first flush Darjeeling.

It's a medieval walled city of historical significance; the centre is a world heritage site. It's the location of the oldest bank in the world, one of the oldest universities and the central piazza is the venue for the Palio (a bareback horse race contested by the different quarters of the city.)

I went there by chance during a Palio. The whole city was alive in a way that I can't even begin to describe. Would definitely go back.

Then grow your own. Your natural right of control over your own body doesn't extend to the markets and industry of the society you live in.

It felt like you kept trying to reframe what you actually said rather than admit to being mistaken. You bemoaned the choice of grey/white over black/white. I pointed out studies showing dark grey/white to be objectively better - and rather than say "mb I meant light grey specifically", you tried to BS about dark grey being rendered as light grey, and black always appearing black - based solely on your own experience. It's cool - I'm done. Have a good evening.

You said "White background & gray text" in your original post - not light grey.

"From my experience of using screens like this for years"

Literally anecdotal. Search for "washed out black screen" - countless examples of black appearing grey.

"No developer ponders what shade of black to use"

And the evidence shows that if it's on a white background, they should be pondering what else to use.

I agree that web developers/designers should be better informed about this - but the trend is probably in the right direction.

I just posted a study showing the problems of black/white. I don't disagree about the overuse of light grey/white, but it's really irrelevant to what I said.

The reason I felt what you were saying was anecdotal is because consistent black is really a feature of amoled screens. If a screen is so badly calibrated that dark grey is coming out substantially lighter then it's probably going to doing something similar to black.

"Black always looks black"

"...[dark grey] text appearing light or mid grey"

These statements seem anecdotal and contradictory. You're not really addressing the issue of black/white being overstimulating, and causing more eye strain than dark grey/white at any rate.

Studies have shown that the excessive contrast of black text on white overstimulates the eyes, creating more eyestrain than dark grey (#444).

Here's a study showing how the overstimulation from black text on white background can cause myopia through choroidal thickening (and the reverse, with white text on black background causing choroidal thinning.) https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-28904-x

Prometheus as a Christian allegory (spoilers)

I believe Ridley Scott has broadly acknowledged this theory, and, when viewed through that lens, the repeated symbolism throughout the film is unmistakeable.

Can't go wrong with Marcella Hazan's tomato sauce recipe if you're looking for easy and tasty:

28oz can of tomatoes (San Marzano is best), 5 tbsp butter, onion peeled and cut in half. Add all ingredients to a pan and simmer on a medium heat for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, and gently crushing tomatoes. Remove onion and add salt to taste. Makes 4 servings.

I like to throw in a sprig of basil too, but it's not necessary.

How so? What is it that makes art OC that cannot be applied to AI created art? I think it would take an extremely narrow definition which would also exclude a significant amount of human created art.
