Thanks for reminding me of a great film I saw in theatres long ago… I was at a con once and heard Barry (spouse and I both liked ‘Enemy’) and bought his Workshop book … good to see he’s still kicking …
and thanks too for hooking me up with Feral Historian’s stuff (like his style) which I might never have found otherwise…

Wow. I can’t believe it took me so long to learn about that. And no tour needed. Interesting, thanks!
Now for the next test: 3 identical new styluses responses are profiled. Now 3 identical TTs, play Marcus Family vs. Metallica vs Lou Reed’s Metal Machine Music.
After 100 hours compare stylus profiles to originals. Repeat after 1000 hours. Also visit your shrink before and after for a comparitive sanity test.
GOSH I’d like to see that be 2 times longer, and have some price-ranges.
Powerful message. “Brought to you by DHHS, National Cigarette Foundation, Department of Education, Cigs4Kidz, and Viewers Like You.”
Don’t remember any PSA’s like that back from when they were doing atmospheric testing of atom bombs down in Nevada for weeks on end. But they weren’t planning on smoking them all the way.
Different strokes! esp. depending on which orbit you’re in.
Always have a good time when I run into this channel. Gotta be scary for drummers, but I’m not, maybe that’s it!
Yeah! Did that once, many years back. took a couple weeks. Used a ripper program that went out on the net and got all the metadata, saved to a HD (now on the third one). Put the CDs in Logic cases (no-wear), recycled the jewelboxes.
Over time, started to drop album folders into VLC, save the playlists, at ur fingertips.
Yeah… well (we have to admit) the ‘hole’ quantum part was very long and VERY nerdy for a whole lot of people. (Their loss.)
FLAC is good, but not necessary for background listening. At 192k the average song is ~ 5Mb. 100k x 5 = 0.5 TB.
With a long, varied list of select internet radio stations, you can choose what genre (or special weekly show) you want to listen to at the moment. Picked by people, not algorithms. Keep a playlist of the stations you like best, startup your player (like VLC) with the list, and pick the one you’re in the mood for.
Or you could just collect mp3s locally for choosier days, dump a bunch of them into VLC, listen to them in album or random order. In either case, at no cost.
Wow, that’s of Veritasium’s best stories - a LOT of work went into that. (And he was ignored because he didn’t have a PhD!) Very enjoyable … thanks!
I’d say that a vacant home - any place (lots of them) where the homeless are dying in the streets of hypothermia - is owned by a garbage human.
IMO owning an unoccupied house thats off-market, or prohibitively-priced is probably a gambling chip.
IF there are ANY families in the same county that are homeless, it should begin being taxed as a gambling-chip. Sell-it very soon or it may used for a free shelter for however it remains unoccupied by the owner.
An apartment-building owner WHO LIVES IN the building year-around might be in accord. (My own GG-ma ran a boarding-home for income after her husband died.)
Needs discussion. I’m more concerned for kids -never being able- to buy a home. “Owner-built”, no problem.
It’s my opinion that housing is so basic a need that no house should be allowed to use for a gambling chip.
The ‘housing market’ needs to be broken in favor of individual ownership. (For many, speculation has driven ownership out of reach.)
Only individuals may purchase individual homes, and must agree to occupy them as their primary and only residences until they sell and vacate them. (Live-in landlords included, e.g. boarders.)
As part of the deal, they must first find another individual buyer (under the same terms) for their present home.
(Futher stipluations needed, but none that permit violation of the above principle. )
Haven’t heard about the NASA design yet, but JAXA’s 2010 IKAROS used "Eighty blocks of LCD panels are embedded in the sail, whose reflectance can be adjusted for attitude contro ".
