It has more efficient lossy compression then JPEG. It has more efficient lossless compression then PNG. More efficient compression then gif and supports animation like gif. It allows for more colors then any of those 3. You can have a single for extension for photos graphics, and animations and costs less storage and bandwidth saving money and making a better ui.

The area I live in has flooded 3 times since it was first inhabited in in the 1780s. 1915, 2004, and Helene. Helene had about as much water as those previous two times combined.

I live in the mountains. 2000 feet above sea level. The nearest river is a mile away and 40 feet of elevation below us. The river normally is 3 feet deep and 10 feet wide, when the area gets a lot of rain it can run about 8 feet deep, but no worries because that’s how high the bank is. When Helene hit, the flood waters rose up to our street.

The rivers in and around Asheville were rising a foot a minute in some places. Those waters also had cars, trucks, trailers and roofs in them.
Mud/landslides are awful, but so is flooding and it can happen a lot quicker then most people think. I’m very lucky to have escaped in time.

I get the spirit here but not sure I agree that it MUST be true mathematically.

A full time job is 32+ hours a week. Even if I use the American 40, that’s still only 23% of the week not counting vacation or holiday.

Most people don’t get more then 8 hours off sleep a night. That’s 1/3 the day. 43% of the week for everything else.

That’s enough time for you to do something more than sleep or work. Then count in time for vacation and holiday and if you don’t sleep eight hours every night. And if you do stuff at work that isn’t necessarily in your job title.

Due to my meds I can only sleep 4-5 hours a night.
