  • One other thing here is that the sensitivity of the detection is actually decreased with repeat attempts. This is pretty standard.

    The reasoning here is that people will check after the first failure. And if they then send the close request again, the car will try a bit harder. Maybe it's just some bit of oversized luggage that can be pushed down.

  • The Stormlight Archives feature a significant amount of battles, many of which are epic.

    • The return of Bridge 4.
    • The entire climax of Words of Radiance. The battle, the storm, the hero coming down the mountain side from the sky.
    • "You cannot have my pain"
  • Luffy starts out at 17, but is 19 after the time skip. The youngest is actually Chopper, who is 15 at the time he joins the crew. But he's an anthropomorphic reindeer, so he gets a pass.

    What works really well is that the characters actually do look and act their age for the most part.

  • Should have been a short series instead, the worldbuilding had potential.

  • nothing but suvs on their lots

    Not true. They also have trucks

  • I agree that live shows (and buying merch) is the best way to support artists.

    But the CDNs required to run a music streaming service are anything but cheap.

  • I switched to Tidal after Spotify announced the price increase. The catalogue is basically identical, the apps are much more intuitive, and the audio quality is higher (they recently rolled their premium FLAC subscription into the basic one).

    I had to retrain the algorithm for a bit, but that was not so difficult. There are services that can migrate/convert playlists which might actually work for favourites as well.

    Also, it's easy easier to download stuff from Tidal, which is very nice for listening to Audiobooks with a dedicated player.

  • Here in Germany, ascension day is also known as father's day. It's because Piccolo was such s good father figure for Gohan after his deadbeat dad was gone.

  • Genius. If you export some of the apes, the remaining population requires less habitat, leaving more room for plantations! /s

  • There's a video about a rail replacement helicopter in which Tim states that Tom wanted to do a video about it. But he was busy at the time, so they sent the tip to Tim instead.

  • I have a pair that zips open all the way, which is extremely convenient.

  • Cheaper labour in the most expensive town in a country that is well known for high labour costs?

  • Yet.

  • I has one in my old rig. Decided to replay Gothic, so I got out the disks to try installing it, which failed and I ended up buying it on GOG for 2,50€ instead.

    I decided not to have an optical drive in my current machine.

  • A lot of newer shows cannot be watched randomly though because the episodes actually build upon each other.

    If you take older shows like TNG or X files: you could easily jump back in after missing half a season. The episodes were written to be mostly self-contained, because missing an episode or two because of life was very very common. Season finales were often a major exception, and were therefore also majority advertised so people knew to plan around them.

    If you write a show for streaming, however, there is no concept of "missing an episode". So the writers are freed from that constraint, and subsequently write shows that are only meant to be watched in their entirety, in order.

  • Which only works when timezones exist. Without timezones, the question would need to be "what time of day is it in

    <location>

    ?", and you'd get "morning" or "afternoon". Any answer to that question is inherently more fuzzy than 8:25 or 17:16.

  • I man, a single torch solves this issue.
