IMO the laundry thing is an easy example of the larger issue of extreme privilege. Being able to live on a rich friend's property in the woods by a pond sounds awesome. I'm sure I would love that and it would do amazing things for my well-being. But that's just not a relatable thing for most people and it can really sour the message.

Melting without breaking. It's cheese and emulsifier mixed together so the oils don't separate out. People often use egg for the same reason when making cheese sauces.

Asphalt is pretty amazing given the amount of wear it goes through. It's basically infinitely recyclable, very flexible, goes down fast, and is relatively easy to work with.

People getting together for the common good is just a government, the exact thing libertarians hate.

All renewable energy comes from the sun, which is a giant fusion reactor. Seems like it might be a good idea to study and understand the concept.

This is probably related to NY recently changing their rules regarding civil suits for sexual assault. The same change that prompted the Trump case.

I'm sure for a 17 year old in 2003, going after someone so wealthy and powerful seemed insurmountable. But the rule change seems to be allowing some victims to finally get some form of resitution.

Should just transfer them to another one in the next town over after a paid 3 month leave.

Back in grandma's day (in the US at least) women were financially trapped in their marriages by a system that wouldn't allow them to get credit cards or open bank accounts without their husband's permission, even if they worked. Having a small stash allows a person to choose to be in a marriage, not be forced.

It's outdated advice but it comes from a good place.

Denuvo is a very complex anti piracy system for games that is pretty controversial. There's a lot of evidence that it affects performance and it forces games that wouldn't otherwise need Internet to be activated online regularly.

It's the kind of thing that a reviewer would mention and that some people would use in their buying decisions. Sneaking it in after launch is going to make some people pretty mad and I'd feel used as a reviewer.

Joke's on them, I could already browse the internet.

Extremely, that tire is going to blow at any moment. Probably the next time they hit a bump at high speed.

I'm committed to ActivityPub. I don't really care if the specific server backend ends up being lemmy, kbin, or something new.

Audio Description Tracks (lemmy.theonecurly.page)
submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

One of the really clutch features streaming sites have is an audio description track for shows that either aired with it or sometimes they have their own done specifically for streaming. I can't find any encoders that rip those tracks. Does anyone on any site do it?
