Save you a click: they were a human ball tee, holding it during a kickoff, then leaving the field. Big deal.

Yeah, some were pretty crazy.

Is mostly because stereo sound being widely available was novel and new. I have several albums that are literally just made to let people show off the stereo aspect of their new hi-fi.

And there are some old mixes that are fairly extreme by today's standards but sound like a very real soundstage - the drums are over there, the vocals over here, etc.

But then some took it too far with the control hard pans and then relying on the hard pan to fix bad levels (like that the drums are too loud)

But even today, it's not unusual to have some instruments entirely (or very nearly) in one side of the other. Just not the primary instruments carrying the harmony and melody.

1. I'm sorry your parents never took you to art museums

It'll probably more like plaster. 4k isn't always better. There are some low-budget effects things that aren't improved.

I bet even comparing your old VHS that awoke your youth compared to the 2k Blu-ray, the new copy would be a lot less 'interesting' to look at.

I just hope the 4k is transferred well but also doesn't let us see every seam in the costume and flake in the makeup

Nudity? You mean the fiberglass/plaster statues?

Rhapsody back in the day beat that. You could use All Music Guide info to build amazing custom playlists. Custom options like "Music featuring electric guitar with no vocals made between 1950-1957 with a tempo between 90-120" and it would shoot out a whole playlist

Pretty much just kerosene. So not the best, but not horrible. It just uses LOX and RP-1 (highly refined kerosene) for fuel.

Baroque classical

So stupid and fake. Guy in an unbuttoned shirt being the stereotypical trust fund bro. Handheld camera conveniently already running and pointed right at the action. r/whyweretheyfilming

So given the median savings in the USA is about $8000, it would feel like $25 does to most of us.

She's worth $28 billion. Unfortunately she will miss $100 million like the rest of us would miss $50.

It's the 60fps that makes it feel that way more than the 4k.

Nice. Looks cozy

Destin at Smarter Every Day and Steven Mould seem like solid guys, and content similar to Tom Scott if you haven't seen them.

It's pretty easy to strip most of it off. It's definitely an adjustment, but I got used to it (the remaining things I couldn't change) pretty quickly

I held on to mine for so long, but after they stopped getting updates, I bailed since the S22 wasn't massively larger.

It's 5.75" tall, so no. It's as big as I want to go. I'd love something a bit smaller to be sure

You can still lock down privacy stuff to a fair degree. I'm keeping an eye on it

Galaxy S22 with Nova launcher getting rid of the Samsung UI and making it note pixel-like.

Pixel phones have been too big for me for a while. They won't fit in my pockets comfortably and I don't want to have to stretch to reach the top of the screen. Come out with something 5.75" tall or less and I'll re-engage.

You mean re-filling. It was filled quite nicely with the original Thrawn Trilogy. Still glad some of that was salvaged and brought into canon.

Or what has been called one of the most historic and tumultuous years of a century (1968)... Yeah.

Now I gotta look up 1973. Never heard it mentioned in this context...

Answer:

• Roe vs Wade
• Vietnam War officially ended, US pulls out of Cambodia
• OPEC oil embargo started
• Wounded Knee occupation
• Major flooding of the Mississippi River
• New tallest building in the world (Sears Tower)
• Nixon goes to China and US opens official office in Beijing
• Battle of the Sexes tennis match
• Secretariat wins first triple crown in 25 years, smashing records
• "The Miller Test" for obscenity is established by the US Supreme Court
• Two notable commercial airline crashes with fatalities (both in Boston, interestingly)
• Egypt and Israel sign peace accord
• Much of the Watergate scandal played out in 73, though Nixon didn't resign until August of '74

That's what the saying means. It doesn't mean perfect isn't good. It means perfect is great, but don't let it stop good.

They technical don't make airframes or doors either (and still don't until their buyout of their supplier goes through).

If that's real, that would be after he was struck, right? The bullet is to his left, and he was shot from his right

Crazy. This is a good article to point to when people say everyone used to be better. Aside from all the, you know, racism, sexism, etc.

They did it once, then did it again and not only is it still just a fine, the fine didn't even go up. Given inflation since then, the fine actually went down in real terms.

That'll teach them for sure! /s

No, I don't think so.

The Earth's density is 5.51 g/cm³.

For comparison, a baseball has a density of 1.3 g/cm³.

Even just the Earth's surface crust has an average density of 2.7 g/cm³ (it's more dense under the ocean)

Unless you can compress a baseball with your hands, you're not making a dent in the Earth.

The only way it would work would be if your strength increased proportionally with your size, which isn't the case normally for humans (someone 20% taller than another person isn't necessarily 20% stronger than them).

Yeah, saw something after I left the comment. It was Minecraft per se that was down. It was the x box authorization/login system. Even bigger!

Peter Jennings was on my parents' TV

How does Minecraft even go down? Was it the MS-run Realms that were down? The entire x-box account authorization system?

He was always a grifter. When I was in college in the late 90s he had a financial responsibility program for college students to help them learn how to get out from college debt they were in the process of racking up. It was something like $40-50 a session for a 6-8 week course. That would be roughly $75-90 today.

I watched way too many of my friends give away money to that guy.

Interesting because they've published things on home media in Europe fairly quickly and consistently. You just have to import them. At least most of the shows I've been interested in (Marvel Defenders, etc)

Interesting. I didn't know there would be minimums like that.

The only people doing this are loaded with enough cash or assets to not have to take out a mortgage. They'll be fine.

You can't get a new mortgage without insurance

Anyone going without home insurance is paying cash for their house. No bank would give someone a mortgage on a property that could turn to ashes with no insurance.

Exactly my thought re: King James. Hilarious.

But what do you mean by the "original text" which is challenging to even determine given the relatively recent age and conditions of most manuscripts of both new and old testaments.

The MPAA rating system didn't start widespread use until the early 1970s, and even then (as you'd expect since since it is the MPA"A") only in the USA. Other rating systems in other countries followed later (for the most part).

So any movie prior to that would have been unrated when it came out. Especially if it was a non-USA production.

Any rating you see on a movie older than that has been applied after the fact.

Does "Jaws" count? It wouldn't be PG these days but I'd say it counts as horror.

"The Birds" was technically unrated when it came out. I've seen it rated as PG-13 now, but not sure what that's based on since it is from way before PG-13.

Horrible way to display this.

In states with no income taxes and mostly regressive taxes like sales taxes and other consumption tax, the rich with large income (who always disproportionately account for all income in any state) pay a very low share of their income in taxes. Some people will be paying 10% of their income in taxes because their entire income is spent every month and taxed as consumption (sales taxes). While others pay only 2% of their income in taxes because a good portion of their income goes into savings and tax-free retirement accounts and not on consumption.

Meanwhile states with a progressive income tax ensure that (closer to) everyone pays a more fair share of their income. So the rich end up paying more of their income. While lower income families pay a lower sales tax rate (and/or are able to see the benefits of better social programs funded by the taxes on the wealthy)

Someone has to sell them new in order to get them thrift.
