[02:09] IsambardPrince It is catchy. [02:10] IsambardPrince The most oppressive governments always seem to come up with the best anthems. [02:10] IsambardPrince Have you ever noticed that? [02:10] MinceR dunno [02:11] IsambardPrince Like the Nazi and USSR anthems? [02:11] MinceR all i noticed that hungary probably has the worst anthem of all [02:11] IsambardPrince They just get caught in your head whether you want them to or not. [02:11] MinceR and there's another song that's even more atrocious that they like to sing alongside it [02:11] MinceR that's supposed to be the song written for a poem but even the syllable counts don't match [02:11] IsambardPrince Well, they're Hungarians so... [02:11] MinceR so the lyrics are twisted and mangled to make them fit [02:11] MinceR yeah [02:11] MinceR i'm sick of these people [02:12] IsambardPrince If you can't seem to make the words fit, you need to make the musical arrangement simpler. [02:12] IsambardPrince Some of the best songs have some of the simplest arrangements. [02:13] MinceR go tell beni egressy [02:13] MinceR he's been dead for centuries [02:14] MinceR also, the fact that the lyrics of both songs are mostly whining doesn't help either [02:14] MinceR though i guess it fits the people [02:14] IsambardPrince Whining and grunting. [02:14] IsambardPrince The theme to Orbanistan. [02:14] IsambardPrince The flag waving high over the chicken wire. [02:14] MinceR i'd prefer to just have no orbanistan anymore [02:14] MinceR we could have a nice, big park instead of this failed country [02:15] IsambardPrince MinceR, Orbanistan should figure out how to throw away hundreds of billions of dollars in the desert. [02:15] IsambardPrince Like America. [02:15] MinceR any state would, i suspect [02:15] MinceR it's kind of what they do [02:25] *Righty has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [02:29] IsambardPrince MinceR, I got several boxes of DVDs in that cost $1 each. [02:29] IsambardPrince I did not know they did a superbit DVD of "Hook". [02:30] IsambardPrince That movie was underrated. [02:30] MinceR what's a superbit? [02:30] IsambardPrince Maybe I'll watch it later. [02:30] IsambardPrince MinceR, It's a standard Dual Layer DVD, but they've taken all the special features and previews and crap out of it, so they could use the entire disc for the movie. [02:30] MinceR ic [02:31] IsambardPrince It let them use a higher bitrate for the MPEG-2 and DTS streams. [02:31] IsambardPrince They do look a bit better than standard DVDs but it was more of a stop-gap until Blu Ray came out. [02:32] IsambardPrince I compared a couple of versions of RoboCop on DVD. Criterion moved the special features to the second disc, like they did with Spartacus, and most of their other DVD releases. [02:33] IsambardPrince Criterion discs with special features on Disc 2 are basically "superbit", the movie disc is. [02:33] IsambardPrince Part of the reason the Criterion cost more. [02:33] IsambardPrince The standard release just crammed it all on one disc. [02:33] IsambardPrince It took 10-15% of the space on the disc away from the movie. [02:40] IsambardPrince Reddit banned me for quoting Hanover Fiste in Heavy Metal as a joke.

[05:43] IsambardPrince People who use these apps should pay a steep price to fund the services that they are "opting out of" because they are "too good" to ride the bus or train. [05:43] IsambardPrince I'm not normally into charging people who don't use a thing to pay for a thing. [05:43] IsambardPrince But there are exceptions, obviously. [05:44] IsambardPrince Everyone should have to pay for basic infrastructure, healthcare, education (including libraries), public safety, social security, and certain other things. [05:45] IsambardPrince Because the vast majority of people are going to need something, and it's not fair to let people who didn't pay anything use something. [05:45] IsambardPrince It's like the NHS, where everyone who doesn't live in the UK gets on a plane and says "I'm a citizen, gotta treat me.": [05:45] IsambardPrince Then Roy pays taxes so they can get on a plane and go back and live in the US while they harass Roy.

[06:14] IsambardPrince Then they adjust their price so you can't beat them [06:15] IsambardPrince Sometimes I'd clock in and then drive over to Scott's (Kroger) and just gather their prices. [06:15] IsambardPrince All department managers were expected to comp shop for part of their hours that week. [06:16] IsambardPrince The computer prints out a list of things you have to go to the other store and enter their price on. [06:16] *whatA__ has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [06:16] IsambardPrince Then you'd go back to Walmart and tell the computer by linking the terminal to it. [06:16] IsambardPrince It would then print out new shelf labels for you and you had to go lower the prices at Walmart. [06:17] IsambardPrince Most people don't know what Walmart is. [06:17] IsambardPrince They're willing to absorb losses to kill everything in the area. [06:17] IsambardPrince Then the prices go up. [06:17] IsambardPrince In the short term the customer wins because Walmart sets aside acceptable losses to starve the competitor. [06:18] IsambardPrince In the long term, the customer loses. [06:18] IsambardPrince Amazon is the same thing. [06:19] IsambardPrince Amazon is so good at what it does that other than maybe Walmart you have trouble even getting things sometimes. [06:19] IsambardPrince They strangle low prices out of everyone, including underselling, say, Criterion Collection, on their own Blu Ray discs. [06:20] IsambardPrince You have to pay $37.93 for example on one movie, at Criterion. Why in the Hell would they want to sell wholesale to Amazon and then let Amazon undersell them by setting it to $21.37 for the same disc? [06:20] IsambardPrince Remember they get wholesale. [06:20] IsambardPrince So they're supplying Amazon for like I don't know. Call it $15 a disc. [06:20] IsambardPrince When they could sell direct and get the whole $37.93 if they just didn't supply to Amazon. [06:21] IsambardPrince But if they don't supply to Amazon, they lose this little thing called sales valume. [06:21] IsambardPrince So they flood the market by letting Amazon figure out how to sell to people that would never have seen the product otherwise. [06:21] IsambardPrince They do this thing that's a lot like the Disney Vault used to be. [06:22] IsambardPrince When sales drop, Criterion takes something out of print, it'll be back, probably, you just don't know when. [06:22] IsambardPrince When they feel the market is right again, they might get their vendor on the line and order up another batch. [06:22] IsambardPrince You know, there's a niche market for what they do. [06:23] IsambardPrince Most Americans wouldn't have access to a lot of foreign and film festival stuff without them. [06:23] IsambardPrince They do a lot of work restoring things for archival. [06:23] IsambardPrince Quite often it's old film that's been improperly stored for 60-70 years sometimes. [06:23] IsambardPrince So it's a lot of work. [06:24] IsambardPrince It's getting easier than it once was. [06:24] IsambardPrince Film cleaning is still the hard part, but the scanning machines, and in some cases, they call it "AI" looks it over, sees if it can sort of, make it not look so bad. [06:25] IsambardPrince You know, they call it "AI" but it's doing things that used to be very manual and a lot of labor, like color corrections and stuff. [06:25] IsambardPrince I wouldn't call it AI, because while it is replacing a laborious process, it's a process that's more tedious than difficult. [06:26] IsambardPrince You can tell the software the results you want and it can apply those settings. [06:26] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], It's like me telling Mandy "I did a lot of work." on the immigration case. [06:26] IsambardPrince Well, yes, but it's basically "mind numbing crap". [06:27] IsambardPrince Gathering thousands of papers, figuring out form instructions. [06:27] IsambardPrince It's not hard work, but it's not fun and there is a lot of it. [06:28] IsambardPrince It's basically the least rewarding work, because it's work because they say there's work. That's how government bureaucracy does you. [06:28] IsambardPrince They require labor input. They don't actually need it. They just want to crush your soul to test how much you really care for this person. [06:28] IsambardPrince And that's the point of all the work.

[09:42] schestowitz[TR2] it is more robust to bbig data loss [09:42] schestowitz[TR2] btw, i don't compress my backups [09:42] schestowitz[TR2] i tar things [09:42] schestowitz[TR2] compression adds a risk [09:43] schestowitz[TR2] same for disk encryption [09:43] schestowitz[TR2] one flipped bit [09:43] schestowitz[TR2] for some minor reason [09:43] schestowitz[TR2] and you can lose ALL the data [09:44] IsambardPrince Right, but the thing is... [09:45] IsambardPrince With small discs like a DVD or BD, you really can't use frequancy modulation and PCM. I mean, you could on a BD maybe. [09:45] IsambardPrince It would actually look worse than AVC and DTS-HD or whatever. [09:46] IsambardPrince If you used a 100 GB BD-ROM you could probably do without the codecs but even then, you might be back to "disc flip" for a long movie. [09:46] IsambardPrince Then you need another 100 GB on the other side. [09:46] schestowitz[TR2] remember ZIP drives? [09:46] schestowitz[TR2] iirc, they were like 150mb or more [09:46] schestowitz[TR2] per tape [09:46] schestowitz[TR2] imagine trying to store usenet [09:47] schestowitz[TR2] on 100mb disk [09:47] IsambardPrince FM worked on a LD because it was standard definition and each side held a maximum of 64 minutes in CLV mode, which had drawbacks. [09:47] schestowitz[TR2] with other things on it [09:47] IsambardPrince Like crosstalk. [09:47] IsambardPrince The laser pickup could accidentally read another part of the disc into what it was trying to display to the TV. [09:48] IsambardPrince Constant Angular Velocity had better quality on LD, but cut your playback time in half. [09:48] IsambardPrince So I mean, what do you do? 4 discs with 4 flips to get through a movie? [09:48] IsambardPrince 8 sides on 4 discs? [09:48] IsambardPrince When does it get ridiculous? [09:49] IsambardPrince So that's why smaller discs use MPEG and DTS or DTS-HD. [09:49] IsambardPrince And more accurate lasers, of course. [09:54] IsambardPrince It's hard to say how much data in GB fit on a side of an LD, because they didn't really measure like that and it's not a true digital format. [09:54] IsambardPrince But if you turned it into one, it has 6.25 times the surface area of a CD. [09:55] IsambardPrince The laser is red with a similar wavelength, so you could probably compare one side of an LD to just slightly less space than a Single Layer DVD. [09:55] IsambardPrince But again, to get that, you need 6.25 times the size. [09:55] IsambardPrince Because the laser that reads the surface is not as precise. [09:56] IsambardPrince So if you wanted to extend LD for some reason and make an 11.8" optical disc that used a blue laser with similar wavelength to Blu Ray, and you wanted to press 4 layers into a side, you could arrive at something like 625 GB per side. [09:57] IsambardPrince The data layer would be close to the surface, so you'd have to use something like Durabis coating on them. [09:57] IsambardPrince Very expensive. [09:59] IsambardPrince There'd be no point. It's just a what if. [09:59] IsambardPrince Nobody would make something that big. ● May 30 [10:00] IsambardPrince The only reason LD was that big was there was no other way to do a video disc back then except the Capacitance Electronic Disc, which was horrid. [10:00] IsambardPrince And backed by RCA, where my dad worked. So he had a CED player. [10:00] IsambardPrince And yes, I've watched movies on it. [10:00] IsambardPrince We had Close Encounters of the Third Kind on Capacitance Electronic Disc, for example. [10:01] IsambardPrince Inside a cartridge, which you shoved into the player and pressed a lever to start playback, there was a disc made of vinyl, with grooves, to be read by a needle. [10:01] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], The world's shittiest plumber said he found one the other day. [10:01] IsambardPrince CED failed for obvious reasons. [10:02] IsambardPrince It was always going to be VHS that ruled the home video market through the early 2000s. [10:02] IsambardPrince It was the only practical format. [10:02] IsambardPrince The only one where you didn't need a ton of space to store it or to pull out $40 or $50 a movie, back then! [10:04] IsambardPrince https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitance_Electronic_Disc [10:04] TR Bot Capacitance Electronic Disc - Wikipedia [10:05] IsambardPrince CED caused RCA to lose over $650 million dollars in the 80s. [10:06] IsambardPrince They had blanks for CEDs left that no movie studio wanted, so they ran off a special CED that only RCA employees got, thanking them for working on the project. [10:06] IsambardPrince So my dad has that one too. [10:06] IsambardPrince "RCA had initially intended to release the SKT425 CED player with their high end Dimensia system in late 1984, but cancelled CED player production prior to the Dimensia system's release." [10:06] IsambardPrince Dimensia? [10:07] IsambardPrince They were bad at naming stuff.

Fill plastic bottles with tap water, and let it leech microplastics and toxic chemicals into the water from the plastic bottle. [22:01] IsambardPrince 3. Sell them the water for 100x per ounce what it costs from their own tap. [22:01] IsambardPrince All those "forever chemicals" and more they're talking about, are in the bottled water. [22:01] IsambardPrince That's the problem with PFAS, you really can't escape them. [22:02] IsambardPrince If you buy some outrageously expensive setup, you might get most of it out, but most people won't do that.

[23:40] IsambardPrince Since Trump's first term, rent has doubled, groceries have tripled, and I just got another letter from the power company saying rates go up 50% starting tomorrow, and it's mostly because Indiana is next door insisting on forcing coal plants to sell to the PJM at a loss and roasting the planet to bail out Elon Musk's data centers. [23:40] IsambardPrince Every year Trump is in office is another Annus Horribilis, and the only thing he's actually good at is making the last one seem rather mild in comparison. [23:42] IsambardPrince Walmart was busy increasing the prices on hundreds of items in a week, sometimes doubling them. They say next month will be even worse. They admit it's because of the tariffs, and they'll show their customers and employees no mercy. They won't give you a raise, so they basically just cut your real pay in half again.
