  • It's about the danger posed by a monolithic government or corporation deciding what things get to be traded and sold. Like a fucked up capitalist version of that poem "First They Came".

  • Haha, yeah, asparagus is hard to get rid of. It forms these mats of roots like 8 inches down that hollow out during the fall/winter and then new roots shoot back out through the tubes. That said.. I've never had store bought asparagus that was JUICY. I usually pluck them as as snack to eat while I'm weeding or whatever, they're perfectly tasty raw.

  • Were you trying to grow softneck or hardneck? Most grocery store garlic where I live is softneck garlic from china which doesn't grow well in colder climates. Hardneck garlic, on the other hand, requires a long cold winter in order to flower in the spring. We bought a clove of hardneck from the farmers market, threw two of the biggest cloves in the garden about 6 inches down, and then did absolutely nothing to them for 9 months. The bulb wasn't as large as the original one but I plan to replant 6 or 7 of the second harvest and see what happens. I usually buy garlic just because of how fucking loooooooooong it takes. I'm tryin to make some pasta not a baby!

  • I'd imagine that makes plane flyovers amazing. It's a shame the UHD release of U-571 didn't get any object-based audio, I bet the depth charge scenes would have been really cool.

  • I recently moved my center channel speaker to above my TV and that has helped dramatically with audio clarity. No more coffee table blocking the voice channel.

  • There's a reason he's called Number One

  • In one episode he claimed that he got all the wavelengths at once, compressed through the visor so that his brain could handle it, and that he had to just focus really hard to filter out extraneous ones. He compared it to trying to follow a single conversation in a noisy room (think a bar or club or something). So I guess maybe he could have spent a bunch of time as a teen focusing on that specific wavelength?

  • I'm in the United States so I read the sections relevant to the United States. I'm just trying to find where this claim of people with a mental health diagnosis needing multiple addresses due to the new EO comes in. That would impact me personally.

  • That's the same configuration I have, with a Denon amp doing the atmos processing. I had some rear upfiring speakers also but I ditched them because my ceiling is too high for the heights to work anyway D=. Even without the heights though you get SIGNIFICANTLY improved positional audio. Things like panning from front to rear are seamless, especially with timbre matched speakers.

  • Yeah, full disclosure I have a full atmos system and it's a noticeable improvement in positional accuracy over even DTS-HD Master. I wish there were less expensive solutions though so that it could go mainstream.

  • I don't know what that saying means, but I hate the Trump administration I promise. I hate FUD too though. More FUD = less energy to spend on the actual battles that need to be fought. I have my own mental health diagnosis and currently live in my parent's spare property so what OP said would personally impact me if true. I can't find where it's stated though.

  • Geordi outright told them he looks at the cards, but only after the hand is over. I would still argue that counts as cheating since it lets him get a better idea for when the others are bluffing.

  • If you're still using firefox, right click -> copy clean link. works most of the time.

    edit: on desktop, idk if mobile supports it or not. Good suggestions below though for mobile.

  • Sorry, /s means sarcastic. If anything I would absolutely expect them to pay for multiple mixes/masters given what's been said about how people consume it.

  • I'm not sure but Dolby Atmos might be responsible for some of it. Dolby Atmos lets the engineers assign coordinate values to each "sound object" in the scene, then your receiver takes that information, along with the room calibration mic info and your speaker layout, and actually generates the channels itself based on the listeners position within the scene. As an example, if an object is moving from front to rear then the engineers no longer have to pan it between channels, just tell the coordinate system that the sound is moving "that way" and let the receiver take care of it. Maybe engineers just aren't putting as much work into making discrete channel audio mixes anymore when the "gold standard" no longer uses discrete channels/tracks.

  • In the early days of television, directors really only had the choice of using theater trained actors since those were all that existed. Theater actors are trained to speak in that way so that they can be clearly understood on stage even without mics. But people don't actually speak that way, and modern directors seem to have a preference for "natural performances" so I wouldn't necessarily blame the actors. They may just be doing what they've been directed to do.
