Oklahoma is now very jealous of North Dakota having a longer “finger”

Washington state is like helpppppp

But helico has different emphasis, so it might sound more like Heely Couture™

Isn’t an among us show coming out? By the guy who made infinity train?

I’m not a fan of either

You could say I’m sp-ace

(let’s ignore the existence of lower deck and strange new world for this joke)

YouTube premium, as far as I’m aware, still shares some of your monthly membership fee to the creators you watch to offset not seeing ads. I also am a premium member and feel no guilt at all about skipping sponsorship sections because of this.

Control is the game for people with money and power whether it is graceful or not. Some of what Elon has done seems like he wants to control the narrative around his jet. Some of what Elon is doing seems like he just wants to keep testing the waters to see how many people still use twitter after crippling the system. Like some sort of “I slap them in the face and they ask to be hit harder- that’s how much power I have over them. People are obsessed with me”.

I don’t think his goal was to kill twitter. His goal was to remain on everyone’s lips without his jet being mentioned. And if that’s at the cost of organizational tools being destroyed, so be it- in fact, destroying twitter has had more people taking about him than ever.

I was just thinking about pulling out the seam ripper for that ltt badge on the backpack.

Hey guess what. Your experience doesn’t represent everyone’s experience.

Would apple just roll over on this? Or would they fight to make sure safari is also an option to freely use the internet (or at least severely limiting apples ability to do something similar) And websites that depend on ads, the number of Firefox and safari users have to be greater than the number of users who use ad-blockers. So wouldn’t it negatively affect ad income on websites if they implemented it and cut out all non-chromium browsers?

“We wanted to reduce the effect of the membrane as much as possible, since it’s heavy,”

Aren’t speaker membranes the lightest part of a speaker? I’d figure these things would still need amplifiers, would be highly dependent on where you sit (possibly amplifying unpleasant noise if you shift your position even a little bit due to phase), would generate ozone, and they don’t even really sound good when playing music, which means the ANC capabilities of them would be limited in the best case scenario.

I don’t know. Other “whole room ANC” devices have come and gone and none of them seem to work. It’s a great idea in theory, but I don’t know if this tech is any different in nature to just using membrane speakers.

ANC is already used in cars with moderate results, but you generally sit in one spot and there’s already speakers in your car.

I desperately wanted this movie to be Arcane or Mitchell’s vs The Machines or Infinity Train levels of emotional jabs, but being a kids movie, I think it does a good job.

[ obvious spoiler alert] I do wish it resolved a bit differently. It being a trans allegory, it was kind of tiring seeing nimona be sacrificed in the story to make things better, though I’ll agree the changes don’t seem to go nearly far enough. (people felt bad nimona is dead because they saved the city, but I doubt the citizens changed their minds on what it means to demonize someone different to themselves in general) There’s a shot where people are traveling outside of the wall, but there’s still a wall. The citizens should feel shame over the wall. They should feel shame over the institution that uses violence to harm those who are different. And yet at the end, they’re happy in their little perfect utopian society with a little memorial wall to make themselves feel better with no more diversity inside their city walls.

I’m torn. I don’t want to think this is a bad movie just because of an ending that fell flat for me. I think it is just a bit “safe” for me. Other than the ending, the messaging was great and I loved the comedic timing.
