Banda Bassotti

He was a bastard in many ways, but Thomas Midgley Jr's demonstration that CFCs were non-toxic and non-flammable by inhaling a few lungfuls and blowing out a candle is up there.

Also not bullshit, unlike his demo of washing his hands in tetra-ethyl lead to prove that's safe.

I really appreciate how they're not trying very hard to stop the cottage industry of people pointing cameras at this stuff and livestreaming it.

Anything explodes, and there's at least three angles of it immediately available.

The further I can keep the lawnmower from my bank account the better, IMO.

I think I did have an account years and years ago, but purely to abuse a free tier or something.

Never seen one that forces you.
I've seen the option, but typing the number in selects the appropriate one.

The flesh versus skin thing is what I was getting at.

Remarkable how well "recently liked by people who like what you like" works.

Though, when I write it out like that is doesn't sound that surprising.

Never have I been more disappointed in the inability to scroll through alt text.

"This reviewer last played/used Fallout 2: A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game on 2 January, 1970, which was before it was released. This review may not accurately reflect the state of the released version."

I don't know if it's stock, but it's j, #, and _ to switch sub, audio, and video tracks in mpv for me.

Rare to get multiple video tracks in a file, but it's useful for showing/hiding album artwork when playing a song.

It wasn't entirely ass compliant in places.
I think Commie put out an episode once that had comments in it telling you to get a better player. (they'd appear onscreen in VLC)

I think 10 bit video was busted for a while too.

How do I check those?
Is there a way to explain that process to someone as easily as "look for an icon that looks like this"?

Respectfully.

Happened to me too, the last two weeks.

Had to remember the key to cycle audio tracks in mpv for the first time in a while.

If you're on your subscription page, you're probably getting the same thumbnails served on account of being logged in.

Wouldn't surprise me though, seeing how a filter list led to views not getting counted.

Is it really an effect if you never see it again?

This some "flesh coloured" crayon sort of thing?

It's probably finished running by then.
Kind of annoys me that I can't see what the multiple titles/thumbnails are anywhere.

I am subscribed to a small enough number that I rarely miss a video, unless a bunch are posted at once and some go below the shorts carousel.

They used to do it themselves, but then youtube added the feature to auto A/B test thumbnails and titles and keep the one with most clicks after it's done.
The same title/thumbnail combo should appear to each person until it's done.

RTgame once kept re-running it on a video as a joke though.

Would be funny if someone built one of those 3.5mm to 8-track adapters, but used a 4 pole connector so the player switching the track hit the skip-forward button like an inline remote would.

I think I saw one of these on techmoan a few years back.

That "older than the trees" line is surprisingly accurate.

I'm still subscribed to them from when they were putting out episodes.

The weed and alcohol episodes still have a special place in my heart. Also where I learned how weirdly they write cursive numbers on a blackboard.

Reminds me of the line "You heet the Canadian, yeah?" from In Bruges for some reason.

Ich bin ein Hamburger.

This usually only happens with Dutch and maybe Afrikaans, since they're so close to English.

A whole year? They're not that complicated.

I was thinking of negligent homicide more than intentional.

Something's got to be the weakest part.
If you realise this, you can decide which one it's going to be.

Strangely, the watt is named after the guy who came up with horsepower.

They should have done this earlier. Would have gone hard if it launched alongside that album he put out last year.
