yeah but the CD keeps being backwards compatible with DVD players, then Blu-ray, then UHD Blu-ray… these new 125tb discs are the same form factor again. i think we’ll have CD players way longer than tape decks
so apparently all of the early seasons were reanimated in HD widescreen at some point, that’s why all the old episodes don’t hit the nostalgia quite right. how do I search for the original format?
I just think at some point in my life, there is going to be a wonderful comedic opportunity to crush an apple and I should learn how or train now. e: Anybody else have any ridiculous goals right now?
when I go to the doctor and have to hand write all the information they already have in the computer. like they’re going to hand type it into the computer again from my handwritten document
I think it was on Ben G Thomas on YT that I’ve seen academic references saying various ways dinosaurs likely sounded like birds in their vocalizations. Do you know of any scientifically grounded reconstructions of possible sounds?...
Drinking pure H2O isn’t good for you. As far as I know it could even be deadly. But what if you had a pill with all the minerals usually dissolved in water and washed it down with a nice big glass of distilled water? Would it be more or less the same as drinking tap water? Or would you need more time to dissolve the minerals?...
there’s no data that says drinking distilled water is bad for you. if half of a grain of salt would make that water no longer distilled, the leftover minerals in your mouth from the last thing you ate are going to make it no longer distilled
bottom, so I can charge it and have headphones plugged in at the same time while it’s in my pocket.
I had the last generation iPod nano, and none of the clip-on cases I could find would put it upside down like the way I preferred my phone so I cut it with an exacto knife to reverse it
Is there a lemmy community, for example, where people discuss shopping strategies which minimize the risk of the purchase decision being influenced by Brand Image or Flashy Packaging? Or similar topics. Maybe what product categories have cheapest products that are bad, so you can’t apply an objective criterion while making the...
English kings would strip the lead from church rooves to make their trebuchets. nothing has changed (a great many of these bells in many countries were probably donated; patriotism and religion go hand in hand. not sure how it went with the Nazis though)
they then replaced many of these railings with regular mar materiel after the war. I’ve seen British fences made out of stretchers, rifle barrels, and cannon barrels
I don’t if the author is alive, not an asshole, and has not yet achieved generational wealth. like I’ll pirate Tolkein, Orson Scott Card, and GRRM, but not Larry Correia
maybe it’s more, women feel like they have to give hints because being direct can receive judgment or not be safe. so it’s not that they’re bad at hinting it’s just that they have to use hints a lot more often than we do, and I can’t pick up a hint to save my life
I tried a couple of times to find certain audiobooks, but seldomly had luck. There just does not seem to be a place that sells digital versions of audiobooks, similar to how bandcamp sells music....
I’m of the view that this is a semantic question where we have a word, “pile”, that describes a general amount but doesn’t have a specified quantity to it, and so the only way we can determine the amount of units required to constitute a pile at the bare minimum, is through public consensus on the most commonly shared...
I love ratchet straps, but I can’t seem to find any extra-short ones. I have two anchor points about 6-8 inches apart that have a slight obstruction between them (so not a straight line)....
there was some movie I read about where the actor had a heart attack walking through a doorway while filming, and the second half of the scene was shot much later after his recovery so he looks like he ages 10 years and loses 20 lbs as he walked through the door in the movie. can’t remember what film
the percentage of body weight that Disney made Carrie Fisher lose to come back for the sequels put her at a much higher risk for dying the way she did.

Could you drink distilled water with a mineral pill
Drinking pure H2O isn’t good for you. As far as I know it could even be deadly. But what if you had a pill with all the minerals usually dissolved in water and washed it down with a nice big glass of distilled water? Would it be more or less the same as drinking tap water?

Substitute for Ratchet Straps for Close-Together Points

Is there any movie in which the actor naturally aged and portrayed the younger and older version of character ? Not a prequel sequel thing. One movie.
Just wondering if someone was committed enough to make such a movie
