Yeah, but they don't wait for the kids mouth to open, they just slam it into their face.

There is a good reason to stay in SK, the proximity to NK is beneficial when organising to spread information to that country.

Depends what you mean by useful and general public. They have applications in combinatorial optimisation problems, which is something that comes up fairly often. For example, planning optimal routes for postal services.

This is useful to logistics companies and has a positive impact on the service the general public receives, but you're not directly using that software.

If you're a gamer, one area that you might interact with is computational fluid dynamics - simulation of fluids - quantum computing could help improve the efficiency of these algorithms and in turn make fluid mechanics more feasible for games. Maybe.

Even if quantum computing improved performance of some common gaming problem, there is still the issue of hardware. Don't expect to see QCPUs in consumer hands this decade.

What's the keyframe rate, bitrate and resolution? Too much gap between keyframe and you lose the subtle details of the paint drying, but too many and it drives up the file size.
