Onomatopoeia

Yea, crappy mixing. It may technically be "excellent" mixing, but only works in a theater.

Even that isn't true, pretty much every movie I've seen at the theater in recent years, the dialog is hard to hear.

Damn, 5 years from LTS? That's impressive

Thank the asshole directors for choosing to make sound so crappy any more (my opinion, I think all movies have crap mixing, with too much focus on sound effects so even when voice is brought forward it's still hard to hear clearly).

Part of it is the movie audio is mixed for a theater that has multiple channels and speakers, so the output is the better separated and voice can be delivered better. It would need to be remixed to sound better at home, and since all homes are very different, what would you target? (Plus they simply don't want to pay extra for mixing which doesn't contribute to seats in a theater). Yea, they could probably use a generic mix, but again, it costs to do so, and some home users would still (justifiably) complain.

The other is some directors intentionally crapify the mix because they want a certain experience while watching the movie in the theater. One director recently even stated he wanted dialog to be difficult to understand in certain scenes (I forget what movie). I get the director's intent, even if I disagree.

The only solution for home that I know is to have a sound system that can manage the separate channels. Many systems now have a sound bar just for voice, so this is already happening to some degree, but I rarely see discrete volume controls for the channels.

You monster! 😁

Spikes that fire a gun, or a gun that fires spikes?

Is that 3 million, 75 dollars?

Also, you forgot "No lowballs, I know what I got"

I'd stop wasting time trying to make it work. Simply save your spreadsheet (you are saving it early, often, and keeping dupliicates, right?), and just copy/paste the file into an email.

At one point I supported Office for Microsoft, and while they'd never admit it, this process for embedding files has alway been a little wonky (directly from one app to another). Grabbing the file and pasting it eliminates the risk of either app causing a problem because the OLE registration isn't perfect, by using a file system path to the object.

I believe you can paste into Outlook a sheet as a table this way, if that's what you're trying to do. Not something I'd do, because, again, this kind of stuff has always been a little less than perfect. Attached files seem to have fewer issues.

Edit: I currently have one machine where URLs in docs (Word, excel, Publisher, Project, Onenote) can't be launched, an error says "Administrator has disabled this feature". I gave up trying to fix it (and remember, I supported Office, I know how this stuff works, I have notes from years ago about which reg entries handle this stuff). Now I just copy the URL. It'll get fixed when I refresh this machine.

So the number one reason people end in care facilities is because they can't get off the toilet, or up from being on the floor.

The stronger/healthier you are now (and maintain it), the less likely you will break a bone as you age.

We store calcium in our bones until about age 30, when it starts to slow. I think by age 50,its really slowed to a crawl. As we age, we become less and less efficient at storing calcium due to hormonal changes, which leads to weaker bones - why older people break bones more easily.

So build your muscles before age 40, as the strength of muscles impacts bone density (since they attach to bones, and the stress they induce at origin/insertion influences bone density). Trying to build muscle as you age gets more risky for because of this stress.

Also improve your cardiovascular capacity now. Ira easier to do than when older, has long term health influence, and isn't the risk of doing it when you're older.

Everything gets harder as we age. The more you improve conditioning now, the better tomorrow will be.

Standard rifle rounds during WWI would go right through a WWII helmet.

Generally it's very difficult to stop a rifle round.

Perhaps a WWII helmet could stop a contemporary .32 or .38 cal pistol, but I don't know.

What a joke of an article.

Keep using fuck book, just change some settings and maybe block some things in your browser. They even advise "turn off location access for meta apps" and "disable your phone's advertising ID", like those make any difference (apps can still infer location from IP address and nearby wifi and Bluetooth devices). Never mind how the back ends can associate all sorts of other data to determine your location.

I've never had a Facebook account, I've never even been on the website, yet Zucktard has a profile on me. And I've blocked scripts in my browsers since 2005.

The suggestions in this article won't do anything, and give a false sense of making a difference.

TNG follows the Greek Morality Play structure of ToS, hence "monster of the week".

Nighttime TV didn't really take to serialization heavily until the 90's. You can see it starting with later TNG.
