What are the symptoms of an hdmi cable having too little bandwidth?

Meant as sarcasm, but I get it

It’s probably a split decade of 75-85. The 80s are probably worse by raw volume, the 70s are probably worse per capita. It all depends on which stats you look at. It also depends on what’s reported. Supposedly, part of Giuliani’s improvement comes from recategorizing crimes into untracked categories. Losing money would also have a delayed effect as the missing funds trickle down

The graves on Hart Island are over a century old. NYC is huge and lots of people die without anyone to handle their body. It’s unfortunate framing of the island’s use when people suddenly wanted to pay attention. The morgue trucks were real to isolate covid bodies, I will add. But the island didn’t exactly do anything differently than be a graveyard like it was since the Civil War

Just a friendly quiet older guy who chokes on pretzels like the rest of us at best, puppet for war profiteers at worst. Certainly not really responsible for any of the travesties related to him. He was just reading a book to children.

NY metro here at the time. He was close to being shunned by 2001. He wasn’t performing well, he wasn’t that smart, he wasn’t effective. Then 9/11/01 we suddenly all had to band together. Nothing saves a term in office like massive tragedy in which everyone is emotionally charged and any act of rebuilding is “doing their best”. His platform prior to that was that he was tough on crime and took credit for a drop, but you can see the trend started prior to his terms and there was a national drop as well, so it’s not his sole doing. The 80s were a terrible time in NYC, way more dangerous than whatever fears the right enstills in their following today. Plus, statewide/nation wide impression of him won’t match the city’s impression, since he was still conservative. I will say, he wasn’t as far into conservatism in his policies as he and his cohorts are now. So while he may not have been as favorable across the board, he wasn’t so polarizing.

For about 5 years, I ignored theaters and said the same things as you. Now I’m back to going a few times a year. You don’t have to buy the popcorn - I never have it at home, so why do I need it there? You don’t take a date to a movie to talk during the movie, you go to share entertainment and have something easy to talk about from a shared experience later. There are many new movies, they just don’t get the hype compared to movies with existing universes. It’s not necessarily a bad thing to reuse existing IP, either, because it can help skip the initial exposition and put more action and development in the screen time. Obviously, there are plenty of examples of poor writing and weak attempts to keep some IP rolling.

What brings me to the theater (usually on a Tuesday with a discount) is the immersion. It helps me really get into the characters’ experiences. It’s not required because I certainly get into plenty of movies using my phone on planes (work travel), but it’s something I choose to utilize. I’ll also try to see movies where I expect dramatic cinematography. Movies like 1917, Dunkirk, and La La Land come to mind for originals while I’d include Bladerunner 2049, Dune 1+2, and Mad Max Fury/Furiosa in the reboot list. Anything Wes Anderson, too, if that’s your flavor. I’m indifferent about superhero movies because the CGI is so overwhelming that it’s indistinguishable from a video game to me, so it loses value. I understand your aversion to reboots, but I’d say one I missed and absolutely wish I had seen in theaters is Tron: Legacy because that has become one of my all-time favorite movies. It’s nothing groundbreaking, but it’s a beautiful crossroads of my visual and audio interests at the time with the score by Daft Punk. It’s as if it’s a sequel to Interstellar 5555, their album anime movie.

Pixar has some bangers, too. I realized at some point I was ignoring them because they seemed too hard to get into, when in reality I just wasn’t trying. I thought I was too old, ignoring that I obviously already knew about the deeper themes in my childhood Pixar films. They’re pretty original. Inside Out 1 was an emotional trainwreck and Coco and Soul were enjoyable as well.

I’m not trying to say you’re wrong. It’s your opinion. I’m just seeing what I used to think and want to offer some insight on where I am now. It’s easy to miss the original titles because there’s so much rehash out there. There’s always another formulaic Marvel movie and a shoddy DC film coming up. We’re flodded with content, so it’s harder to get attached to a particular movie. I saw a meme or tweet that said something like “what ever happened to having families develop entire cult followings of some mediocre film because they only owned 15 VHS films?” and it stuck with me. Marvel is flooding theaters with mediocre superheros, Netflix is flooding streaming with mediocre everything, and Disney is flooding their platform with 80s-90s rehash. I get it. I was rolling my eyes when I heard Alien: Romulus was coming because I thought “yet another Alien?” and, when complaining, I looked up the list and found there’s way less Alien movies than I thought. But the gems are still out there, even if you never visit a theater again. I keep a list of loose recommendations, torrent them, and will randomly press play on one and let it rip.

Reasonable reason: pre-2020 theaters would be packed sometimes and it’s helpful to have assigned seats. It resolves seating disputes and gets people to go straight to their seats. When I saw Avengers End Game (or maybe Infinity War), they had to have employees spotting empty seats for everyone walking in.

Cynical theory: they’re logging seat selection trends and going to move to tiered pricing like airplane seats

If it doesn’t go round, how can I tell it’s working? Turns out, if the fan doesn’t work, I don’t beleive it’s working either. Listen there’s a set of rules for microwaves, ok?

Pretty sure my polling place is open for more than 12 hours. Maybe it varies by state, but that should be a reasonable amount of time for over 99% of the population to get there. Obviously, some places are massively overrun and understaffed, especially in the “unfavorable” districts, but I’ve had no issues making it out in less than 10 minutes by leaving for work 20 minutes early.

It’s hard to read the right context. There’s plenty of misinformation and incorrect beliefs out there so that’s why I opted to just dive into explanation regardless

Bedbugs are pretty easy to spot. While yes, they’re very good at hiding, they don’t really make it into those hiding spots until the easy spots are overpopulated. Sure, someone could have an infestation and could be vacuuming the easy spots weekly, but I doubt someone would clean their marks excessively without also addressing the problem. Sure, maybe this comment was a joke, maybe you’re serious, but either way, I accidentally became very fucking knowledgeable on bed bugs and what I’ve found ever since then is that people don’t actually know anything about bed bugs. Here I am. Of note, they’re not common near me, probably due to a mix of economic wealth and cold winters preventing outdoor survival.

If you can read text on your phone at the stock zoom level, you can see bed bugs because the adults are almost 1/4" long. Young bugs are pretty small, but you don’t get babies without adults and eggs. Eggs look like white/beige grains of salt stuck to edges. Their feces are brown or black (sometimes red) and look like what a fine-tip marker or thick pen would leave on paper. Individually, hard to see. Realistically, you’ll see clusters. They’ll hide in both crevices close to dormant humans (sheet seams, couch cracks) and higher places in shadow where they can see humans (picture frame edges, headboard corners). They live a long time. Even without feeding, they can survive a year.

There are currently a few pesticides with great results such ass Crossfire. They are certainly becoming resistant, but the more we eradicate wholly in a place, the less we have to worry - just like taking the full prescription of an antibiotic. If you do catch them, you’ll need to be very thorough. Bag your clothes and work through them. Pesticides have a residual effect, but the better you handle the ones you can find, the faster you can end the nightmare.

To wrap it up, just peel back the cushions of that furniture. If you don’t see stains in the easy-to-use but hard-to-clean cracks, you’re probably fine. No one I know has ever had them in dorms, just travel through hostels.

-Franz Kafka, or something

Price is dependent on area. I’m close enough to a major coastal US city to commute (not California) and I can find those $3k civics. They’re just 2005ish not 1995ish now. I bought a not-dead-yet 99 ranger for $2k this year which WA impossible in 2021 for “work” trucks. $3k is a healthy goal, imo. The bottom of the market has come down in the last year.

As for browsing fb marketplace, I can’t get any to work. I try browse at work and it often doesn’t work. I refuse to sign in there. The tips and hacks are outdated, as far as I can tell. If you have recommendations, I’m all for it.

As for a motorcycle, maybe I’m just fortunate to afford a cheap 00s one for fun, but the weather really literally rains on my parade. Commuting on one means your locked for ~9 hours into that vehicle as your ride home. Weather can change. We get 30%+ afternoon summer thunderstorms here all summer and it sucks. Yeah, there’s rain gear that works well, but even if you ignore the higher crash risk in rain, you have to bring the gear with you (cargo bag) or wear it (sweat like hell) so that’s a compromise. If the climate is drier, the winters warmer, the summers not so humid, and in a more bike-friendly region, that all of course improves viability. I couldn’t beleive the number of bikes I saw in Mexico. Obviously, people make it work, but it’s tough. Different countries have different views on hear, too - that’s a big expense potentially

Not sure what country your ein, but if it’s one with a non-graduated license program (basic test lets you ride any size bike) please do at least a 2-3 day basic course. In America, they allow you to skip the permit stage but give a proper explanation of controls. It’s so worth it. Please don’t learn from your uncle first.

Slightly different. The alternator on a car has a very variable frequency due to change in engine speed and it’s fed into the car’s regulator/rectifier, so the typical power supplied is stable. However, many cars will use the high beams at half-power to function as daytime running lights (DRLs). This is usually done by pulse width modulation (PWM) meaning it’s chopping up the power supplied at a nearly imperceptible speed. An incandescent bulb will have so much fade time that the choppy power will go unnoticed. From there, theses two possibilities that cause the bulb to flicker. Very cheap bulbs will show their choppy power supply directly by flickering, making them noticeable as the move across your vision. Some mid-range bulbs will have cheap smoothing circuits (since vehicle power is “dirty”) so there will be charge time and discharge time as the capacitors charge up and down, allowing and disallowing the emitter to light, creating a slower flash pattern. Higher end bulbs (ignoring the part where their beam pattern is still usually trash) should be able to accommodate the chopped power and run dimmer.

You may also notice a similar flicker on LED tail lights where the brake light is a brighter tail light instead of a dedicated element. Such cars will use PWM for dimming and may flicker as they move across your view as well. Some of my car’s dash uses LEDs for backlighting and dimming the dash is done via PWM. If I glance across the steering wheel from side to side, it looks like “cruise” gets stamped across the view

I had a 3a and thought I loved the rear reader, but apparently I have my phone flat on a desk or in a stand often enough that I really do prefer the front reader

They typically sink and they don’t have that particular scent component. Apparently, I’ve been living with bad info on buoyancy apparently because a couple decades Oprah said it’s supposed to float. As for fat intake, I cycle on and off with keto (high fat, low carb) but can’t say these farts occur during keto. I would also note it’s some scent very specific to Wendy’s nugs that I don’t smell anywhere else. Maybe it’s just a particular spice? It’s not present in the fries so I don’t think it’s specifically the oil. I appreciate your educated guess. I was hoping literally anyone else would have this experience. My wife concurs about the similarity of smells but the production is solely my talent.

Which is the chemical responsible for the overlap in smells between some of my farts and Wendy’s chicken nuggets? Help me Booty-wan, you’re my only hope

And yet, somehow, I’ve very recently seen a video of someone actually farting into a bath jar.

Kearns and the car windshield wipers?
