Christopher Nolan's Tenet was a prime example of horrible stereo translation. I could hardly understand the dialog. I've never changed volume so much during a movie. IIRC he refused to produce any audio mixes aside from those mean

A couple years ago I got into the idea of vampires and did a watch-through of some of the best Dracula movies. There are a staggering number of them, truly, there are "top 10 best Dracula movies" lists. Some of them really are phe

Herman and Chomsky effectively disproved the notion that mainstream media gives "balanced" perspectives on news in Manufacturing Consent. The trouble is that media has a massive reliance on government institutions for sourcing inf

I'm on it as well. A trick I found for getting around casting devices not showing up, at least in the cast of spotify casting devices a couple weeks back for me, was to install the app ControlDLNA from f-droid. Opened it once on the ne

I've had F-droid for a while. There are pros and cons. Pros: looking for a simple app? you'll find it ad-free and functional, no need to search long and hard and deal with signups, ads, and premium trial like apps from Play Store.

This is a mischaracterization, gas for heating isn't converted into electricity first in most cases, so total energy share is likely much more significant than 5-10%, however, if the gas disappears conversions to electric heating are g

Pedantically that's incorrect. Some Inuit communities live far below the arctic circle, which technically makes them non-arctic Inuit.

I don't think adding the tag of "evil" in front of corporation is necessary or helpful. Corporations are selfish and aggressive enough already. Nothing about China's geopolitical plotting is anymore evil than the US or R

I live in the downtown area of Ottawa and found the protests to be annoying but respected their right to do so. It's strange seeing the hyperbole that pops up in the news contradicting what you can see with your own eyes outside. I hav

I also live in Ottawa, in fact in the downtown core. This was absolutely a protest. I didn't support the message they were pushing, but it was a protest. The horns were a nuisance (people ending up in the hospital unable to sleep) but

I quit coffee and tea 7 years ago. I loved the taste of black coffee but I had trouble sleeping and didn't love the idea of being addicted to anything. Weeks of headaches but I came out just fine. Sometimes I wonder if being addicted a

I love that there's something innate about our desire to do things like these. I caught myself c# a couple years ago on a project I made to solve Minesweeper ( https://github.com/Loufe/GroundPenetratingRadar ). Very

I have been blown away by how reliable and convenient my Growler is (a Stanley Classic Easy-Pour Growler 64oz). I love carbonated water and work in an underground mine, I fill that thing full every day I work and bring it down. I never lose

It's not remotely a stretch. The biggest mining machines in the world (open pit coal shovels in Europe) are already electric and have been for ages. In the rest of the mining industry most big manufacturers like CAT and Sandvik are rel

A couple comments already mentioned it but $1.5B is not a huge number for the mining industry. Many mines in the US/Can bring in that amount in revenue on a yearly basis.

In another comment it was mentioned that there will doubtlessly be "sidewalls" on actual airless tires, and that the exposed ones shown on this page are just for show. I admit that makes a lot of sense given your point about dirt&

The amount of keyboard languages supported it fantastic. I was certain I wouldn't see "Canadian French" included but that definitely tipped the scales for me.
