Don’t forget about Diarrhea Zero and the next gen remakes for 1 and 2. Also, there’s the ARG in the DFW airport bathrooms back in the early 00s. There’s also the previous series Diarrhea is based on, The Skids.

The truck was first shown in 2016, nearly 8 years ago, and only came out last year so there was about half a decade of hype building around this thing that was busy sucking in all the gullible rich people.

I prefer to not wash my hair with real poo.

That the obvious part. At this point Netflix is looking at drastic transmission costs in the coming decade. Video is obviously taxing and require huge amounts of data but Atmos is no slouch either.The gamble, is in how customers receive the news and how it impacts playback.

Audio sync issues, subtitle playback, artifacting on anything over 1080p will all cause customers dissatisfaction. Using a new way to save data is a great idea, almost literally a no brainer, but does a technical solution always work out of the gate?

A side effect of so many streaming channels is that they are all feeling the pressure to keep up with the catalog depth of Netflix and Disney/Hulu. This results in lots of mediocre content being produced to create the illusion of lots of stuff to watch. But no one wants to watch it or hasn’t heard of it to build mind hype for it. All that content is wasted money to prop up a failing service that is bleeding every contender dry. There will be more like Paramount. Consolidation is coming.

Oh, so true. I didn’t want to assume any Continental tastes because it is so varied, but ketchup and mayo are absolutely a European sauce. Thanks for the reminder.

Brown sauce? Please, that’s only a thing in Britain. The only sauce which defies national borders and cultures is mustard .

Ketchup is a western sauce. Mayo is an JP/K sauce. Hot sauce isn’t even mentioned but is more widespread than brown sauce.

GN is so good I watch the ads on their channel.

Ah, the yearly ritual continues. Bethesda makes a game that needs bug fixing, let’s the players fix it with mods, then B tries getting players to pay for the mods in the hopes they can finally charge money for mods that are needed to fix the game.

Classic Todd. Can’t wait until he quits making games. Bethesda might actually use a new game engine besides the Creation Engine.

In Tech, an IPO means the business is market ready to be sold off in pieces, ie stocks. The people who buy the product don’t care what it does, they use the product maker as a vehicle to more growth and profit. Typically that means the people who now own the business make poor choices about cost cutting, like off shoring support and removing unuseful documentation while removing people with critical tribal knowledge about processes. Each step the new owner takes will be to make the business more profitable, and in the world of business, the only thing they care about are the numbers and not the environment or people that created those numbers.

Tricks are something Microsoft does for money.

Holy shit, in a year of bad games, Suicide Squad stands out. Honestly shocked Forspoken or Redfall didn’t get top spot.

A discharge barge.

Or they had a few reports of missing tools and no leads when this guy shows up and says “I know where my tools are but you have to get them”. Of course they will help him with the hope it pans out.

I dunno. Math asks me to just accept it’s normal to have 60 watermelons and is trying move bulk orders of melons on a regular car. The goal is to figure out the problem and not accept that the person who is a wholesale watermelon dealer in denial is commiting tax evasion.

Or to discover that the melon seller has a regular job in ag and gets a bunch of melons on the side from the field and sells the harvest at cost to make up the part of their paycheck that was paid in perishable food.

Should we shame the seller for breaking the law or sympathize for being forced into that situation? People don’t have the energy to care; they just came for a maths question.

Hanson. They’re still together and touring.

Justin Timberlake became an actor and SNL regular renown for his holiday dick jokes.

Most households have a TV with TV speakers, only capable of L/R. Why pay money and have people sit through a corporate short film for a feature most won’t use?

It’s so true. Euthanasia is the only cure for that thinking.

Authoritarians hate being wrong, even if history proves it.

In practice, capitalism will use technology to subjugate others instead of allowing technology to free us from work.
