Part of speech: adj

Topics: lifestyle

Etymology: From grim (adjective) + dark (adjective), inspired by the tagline of the tabletop strategy game Warhammer 40,000 (its rulebook first published in September 1987): In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war.
Compound parts: grim

gloss: Of a film, television programme, video game, written work, etc.: having a gloomy, dystopian atmosphere.
pos: adj
tags: slang
examples: If your character is a more-or-less ordinary little girl fighting for her life as a usual thing, that's a fairly GRIMDARK setting; it implies that there isn't any Good authority with both the power and the will to protect them.
Most original. Brilliantly so! What's not to like? "Jarringly non-grimdark," carpers will sneer. Oh, yeah? What's not Grimdark about – / * Droids? / * Vagina heads? / * Gundam suits (desu)?
The thought once occur[r]ed to me, that for a while they had the silver age Legion as the actual past of a grimdark iron age Legion. Which meant that in theory the grimdark adult legion could have traveled back to silver age Smallville, or the silver age Legion could have travelled back to the iron age DC "present" of the 90s.
[T]here is a more violent ‘barbarian’ tradition of fantasy – sometimes called ‘sword and sorcery’, to distinguish it from Tolkienian ‘heroic fantasy’ – […] This in turn leads through to modern ‘Grimdark’ writing, where nobody is honourable and Might is Right. George R. R. Martin’s ongoing fantasy sequence A Song of Fire and Ice^([sic – meaning A Song of Ice and Fire]) is surely the most successful and popular Grimdark fantasy.

examples: Near-synonyms: automobilery, motordom
In view of the fact that a number of paradigm shifts are required to bring about the authors' vision of sustainable automobility - paradigm shifts in the way cars are made, sold, used and powered - this approach appears inadequate.
The biggest impediment to universal automobile use in North Pomfret and rural Vermont was the roads. Early cars adapted well to dry, summertime excursions on roads built for foot and animals. Springtime was another matter, however. One of the earliest tangible benefits of automobility was the development of milk trucks before the 1930s. Milk trucks drove into rural neighborhoods to pick up the farmer’s milk cans and brought them to the creamery. This worked well during fair-weather months. […] [some decades later] While farms went out of business and newcomers came, North Pomfret’s natives began taking advantage of new opportunities made available by the expanding effects of automobility. Automobiles became a feature of daily life after World War II as neighborhood roads were finally improved and maintained year-round exclusively for cars and trucks. For the first time, residents could live within North Pomfret and conveniently commute to non-farm jobs outside of the neighborhood.
eMobility is not only an alternative drive technology that can be substituted for the combustion engine that has dominated until now, it could revolutionize transport altogether because it differs decisively from conventional automobility.

pos: noun
examples: Sade therefore calls the pure time of suspended history marking an epoch a revolutionary regime; it is the time of the between-times where, between the old laws and the new, there reigns the silence of the absence of laws, an interval that corresponds precisely to the suspension of speech […]
In the case of the time of the event, by contrast, It is no longer time which is between two instants; it is the event which is a between-time [entre-temps, "meanwhile, meantime"]: the between-time is not of the eternal, but it is no longer (of) time, it is (of) becoming.
It relates to a recurrence in the dead time or the between-time separating inspiration and expiration, the diastole and systole of the heart beating softly against the lining of one's own skin.
Freedom itself ages; it is not eternal, though perhaps it brings us to a border between time and eternity. Ethical selving is in the between time, the interim of the aging of freedom. Freedom, of course, seems the catch cry of modernity.
Turning to the between regressions, the elasticity on fixed capital is particularly high (0.63) in the between-time […] The between-time estimate of capital of agricultural origin is significantly positive, though more modest in value (0.25).

The nice thing about an ism, someone once observed, is how quickly it becomes a wasm. Some musical wasms – academic-wasm, for example, and its dependent varieties of modern-wasm and Serial-wasm – continue to linger on artificial life support, though, and continue to threaten the increasingly fragile classical ecosystem.
Dwight Eisenhower, a president not particularly remembered for his wit, once remarked that "all isms are wasms." He was presumably referring, rather presciently, to the largely forgotten isms that were once perceived as a threat to truth, justice, and the American way: Marxism, socialism, communism.

Senses:
gloss: A digital video recorder mounted on the dashboard of a vehicle or elsewhere inside the vehicle to record occurrences in the vicinity, such as traffic accidents that the vehicle has been involved in, to provide evidence for criminal prosecutions, insurance claims, etc.
pos: noun
examples: Why not direct viewers to your website for entire, unedited interviews, an exclusive one-on-one with a local sports star or the whole five minutes of raw police dashcam from that cool chase you aired 20 seconds of?
By dissolving from the last frame of the dashcam video clip into the same scene in animated form, the montage associated Murtha with the "good" officers in the other cruiser, embracing him in the group rather than singling him out as the renegade shooter who, to the unprepared viewer of the dashcam video alone, he might well have appeared to be.
The evaluator is generally interested in the acquired video data as well as its integrity, but does not operate the dashcam himself. The evaluator is allowed to review anonymized dashcam videos for certain purposes. However, just like the operator, the evaluator must not be granted access to the classified data. An example for this actor is an insurance company that offers lower fees for dashcam users and wants to evaluate the video images after an insurance claim has been filed.
[W]e can connect the episode to the rise of "dashcams": small cameras mounted on the dashboards of cars to record the behavior of pedestrians and other motorists in case of accidents. In several countries, the use of such dashcams can already be required by insurance companies, at least to obtain a discount. It seems a plausible scenario that such practices might expand beyond car insurance and police forces, aggregating dashcams with lifelogging to create a situation in which citizens, under cover of security and legal protection, become expected to record and store their daily experience.
Proliferating as well are personal monitoring devices—dash cams, cyclist helmet cameras to record collisions, doorbells equipped with lenses to catch package thieves—that are fast becoming a part of many a city dweller’s everyday arsenal.

Although a classification of terrorism activities can vary, the most active terrorist groups in those years can be divided into extremist and separatist / independentist movements.
Most were inclined to identify strongly with Québec, but they were less monolithic than the independentists in their self-identification, given that some were willing to express a dual identity.

The value of fiat money is determined by legal means (legal tender laws). In other words, fiat money is anything the government says in money. For instance, if the government says an IOU or a bitcoin is money, then it is money. The major currencies of the contemporary world are fiat money.
Users willing to devote CPU power to running a special piece of software would be called miners and would form a network to maintain the block chain collectively. […] The first miner to solve each puzzle would be awarded 50 new bitcoins, and the associated block of transactions would be added to the chain. […] [Satoshi] Nakamoto himself mined the first 50 bitcoins—which came to be called the genesis block—on January 3, 2009.
Each time you succeed in creating a hash, you are rewarded with 25 bitcoins, the block chain is updated and all the users on the network are notified. This serves as an incentive to keep mining the bitcoins and keep the bitcoin transactions working.
They buy bitcoins at a lower price then sell them at a higher value.
But consider that a significant amount of bitcoin is also being held by investors. Those investors do not plan to sell their bitcoin for some time because they are speculating that due to its utility as MoIP, demand will continue to rise and so too will its value. Currently, roughly 5.5 million bitcoin, or US$5.5 billion worth at the price of US$1,000 per coin, is held by the top 1,000 addresses recorded in Bitcoin's blockchain.
Bitcoin is the oldest and best known of all crypto coins. Its creator — the ever-anonymous Satoshi Nakamoto — set things up so that there can never be more than 21 million bitcoins in existence.
Unlike other assets that are valued based on tangible components — for example, a company’s goods and services or a natural resource — bitcoin is considered a store of value, the price of which depends strictly on what others are willing to pay for it.

Ever since it was known that the Toledo Zoo would be exhibiting a pair of the endangered giant pandas, a state of "pandamonium" has existed in this part of Ohio.

The entire city of Memphis was excited about the arrival of Le Le and Ya Ya, two young pandas from China. Joseph had been instrumental in managing the successful quarantine period.
