Why do they still sell candy in plastic wrappers in movie theaters??? Nothing like trying to watch something and the idiot family behind you just goes rustle rustle the whole time.

That is only true for the top of the line theaters. The mid to low range are not worth it.

I went to see Avatar 2 in a DTS certified theater in my town and was severely disappointed. Even the opening DTS advertisement where they try to brag that “this is black” looks way better on my home system and overall I wished I just waited for the 4K to come out and watched it at home.

And enough of a population to be a good chunk of the market share. No business can simply boycott the state like they could if Vermont or Washington passed laws like this first.

I had an Itchy and Scratchy game (from the Simpsons). It was a mini golf game that was a lot of fun.

Movies can be in multiple categories in this data. That is why Return of the King is the top of 2 different categories.

Spiderverse could be in action or adventure and not show up due to not being the highest rated movie.

Tdarr is great if you are comfortable setting up a Docker environment. It is a great way to reprocess your whole library.

A good GUI alternative is Handbrake. It uses a different library than ffmpeg but can do the same stuff. One thing about Handbrake to remember is that it is centered around video encoding. So while ffmpeg can process your audio streams without touching the video stream, Handbrake will reencode video every time.

I mean, yeah, but so what? We are talking about an article where Amazon pulled a video someone purchased down so they can never watch it again. I have never heard of a company recalling physical media and demanding it’s return.

Disks can degrade or be manufactured badly. If they never play you can usually get a warranty replacement. Old disks can degrade, but I have many 20+ year old DVDs that play fine.

The encryption keys are stored on the disk I believe. I use MakeMKV and load the files into my media center software (Jellyfin). That works for DVDs, Blu-rays and 4K disks just fine. Every once in a while if I get a 4K early, the keys haven’t been updated yet and I have to give it a day (usually less) before it rips.

Or buy it on physical media. More and more studios are pulling their disks and it is getting harder to find. If you have a disk, it can never be recalled.

Alcohol, still allowed to advertise every where, and can sell fruit flavors, but tobacco…nope.

Tell that to the vape industry. Nothing more disgusting than walking through a cloud of shit that smells like cotton candy.

"Yes, my name is Scooby Doo, no I don't want your snacks"

I’m sure you could give yourself an abortion by taking too many shrooms but there are much easier ways.

I shut mine off a while back when I was sure they were advertising stuff based on things we were talking about in the same room. We were discussing moving the chairs out of the office and the next time we went to play music she wanted to sell us new ones.

It might be a total coincidence but screw that.

I always go with buggy whip manufacturers and ice delivery people.

By mass, there's relatively little carbon in living organisms and on earth

Some quick googling tells me about 60% of our body is water, and of what is left, almost half is carbon. This would include all of the fats, carbohydrates and sugars that we need for energy.

If you ate a non-carbon based lifeform, you might get some water or iron and other minerals you need a little of in your diet, but the reason we need to eat so much is to ingest different forms of carbon to digest.

An alien that died on earth would probably not even rot because our food chain is so dependent on our proteins.

It’s actually 1.5 by 3.5 because of reasons.

Styrofoam balls everywhere!

What are good cameras to use for self hosting this stuff? I have a NAS and would have no problem opening a port to allow access from outside the home but most of these companies just want to sell you cheap cameras that you really don’t have full access to.

They did. I think it was a regional database key collision problem. People n North America would see cameras in Australia and vice versa. But I could be wrong.
