There is also cassette tapes, reels, wax cylinders, laser discs... Analog supports degrade over time. Digital files do not.

It is inherently more representative of reality. Measurably so. Vinyl doesn't and cannot have the same dynamic range as digital.

It is not. It is hanged vertically. The US flag code states the stars must always be on top.

When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall, the union should be uppermost and to the flag's own right, that is, to the observer's left. When displayed in a window, the flag should be displayed in the same way, with the union or blue field to the left of the observer in the street.

It is displayed vertically, with the union stars on top, to the left of the observers (the crowd).

Analog is inherently lossy due to the materials and playback method. Vinyl records sound different when they are dusty.

Digital is inherently lossless because the Nyquist–Shannon sampling theorem guarantees that, given a sufficiently high sample rate, all information from the original signal is preserved.

It's not. When hanged vertically, the union stars must always be on top.

French teachers are paid around 2000€/month, so not quite minimum wage (which is at 1766€), but still insultingly low for a job that requires 5 years of higher education.

I'm not in the US; I'm French.

Teachers are the biggest losers ever. They enable bullying because they either don't care or enjoy it (and a lot of times actively encourage it), they never admit to any wrongdoing ever, and worst of all do all of this for barely above minimum wage yet somehow are proud of their job.

Two biggest groups of assholes in the world: cops and teachers.

Some moron tried to shoot Trump but missed.

Better luck next time!

My love for the Switch was killed by 60€ ports and half-assed remakes.

The Gambia is an exception, as it is the official name of the country: The Republic of the Gambia.
