I know I’ve mentioned how I hate this timeline, but it bears repeating.

“…And I’m here to tell you all about it with a smile on my face. My bedside manner is impeccable too.”

Preach, brother. I don’t get the fetish with aiming for ‘natural’ dynamic range in a movie in the first place. I need these people to explain to me why reproducing the relative sound pressure of a fucking explosion relative to normal speaking volume is somehow desirable to me.

I’m sure whatever the AF are intending to ‘test’ will work just fine on the few CTs that might still be operational six months hence, prior testing or not. We’re talking about a car that can be stopped in its tracks by light snowfall or being left outside in mild rain. I’m no expert, but somehow I don’t think a quick burst of 30 mm PGU-14/B armor-piercing incendiary rounds or a Hellfire missile will experience any issues.

‘it is likely the type of vehicles used by the enemy may transition to Tesla Cyber trucks’

Please explain your reasoning in great detail and at length. Go on. We’ll wait.

Wow, framing the debate much?

This being the Internet - and great minds thinking alike - it was bound to happen sooner or later :)

“It’s called dynamic range, you philistines!” quoth the audio engineer who hasn’t consumed his own work on consumer-grade hardware since his early teens.

Though crowd. Should have gone for open mic-night at the local watering hole for coders.

You had me at “financially ruin AI industry”.

“Listen guys, we need a new conclusion written by someone who isn’t a fancy climateologist.”

“…I don’t think that’s a word, sir.”

“Of course it is. Didn’t you just hear me make it?”

“…Yes Mr. President.”

…I’m inclined to let this one go.

I assume he’s also about to make me a irresistible offer for a cheap bridge that just so happens to be up for grabs. Totally legit.

I think you’re myopically focusing on my humorous hyperbole and missing my point. Purely scientifically speaking you might well be able to subsist on SCoP, casein powder in water, a dry pack of chow mein noodles and a daily multi-vitamin pill and be perfectly fine. Hell, you can probably scientifically design some sort of nutritionally perfect human kibble that the peons can wash down with Real Water ™, but is that desirable?

Now if you will excuse me, I have a sourdough bread to shove in the oven.

And they are of course at liberty to do so, just as people who didn’t forget their lessons are equally free to call them out for it. If I insist on using the spelling ‘leburthy’, I don’t get to complain if somebody else makes me feel like an uneducated fool in short order.

Which - given that this is the Internet - will undoubtedly happen very swiftly indeed.

Well, that makes perfect sense given Luffy’s typical response to unworthy authorities. Fist-to-the-face-diplomacy is a highly underrated tool in modern politics.

I agree with you in general and recognize the validity of your point, but in this particular case we all know they mean a combination of ‘meat, brain and bone slurry’, ‘HFCS-infused everything’ and ‘chlorine bleached <8% protein wheat flour’.

I don’t think my teachers would have been impressed with me in school if I claimed to be using the ‘unofficial spelling of words’ or citing ‘unofficial facts’. You either have one standard… Or none at all.

Normally, I would have advocated for the nationalization of Starlink and SpaceX as a matter of national and global security, but it’s not like the current American regime would do any better. I’m not going to be counting on them to investigate, let alone prosecute the affairs of this Russian junkie-stooge either.
