It's a shame IMAX isn't that advanced.

I've got 800w sound system in something the size of an NES cartridge. I run three of those for surround sound off my computer.

If only sound codecs allowed for vertical positioning of audio. I'd add a fourth amp and roll 8.1 out the corners of the room.

Take advantage of the law by owning a bus conversion. Our bus weighs ten tons empty.

Alas, California is requiring us to smog the fucking things now, we have to do the same tests as commercial trucks, not just as often. Our rig passes easily, but it costs money and requires a trip halfway across a large county. In fact, since we hardly ever go anywhere, it significantly increases our emissions...

The tests I care about other than reliability and straight streaming read or write speed are random read/write which some cards do much better than others — I expected this for writes, but not for reads! — and how long a device can sit around unused and retain data.

TFA notes that there are application performance class ratings, but they are very particular and what I really want to know is what happens with lots of small files.

The purpose of the theater is participation in group reactions. If that's not interesting to you, by all means stay home. I enjoy it, but it's not worth the down sides of doing that with modern moviegoers, so I stay home and watch a big TV at home and eat popcorn with real butter, and pause when I want to take a piss. I have 4k and DTS at home, thanks.

Screen size: True, although these days an 80" screen that you can reasonably sit close enough to in order to have a similar experience is not very expensive.
Sound: You mean I don't have to get my fucking head blown off by overdriven audio? OK.
Visual quality: The 80" 4k TV has just as many dots as the theater does, and a better contrast ratio.

Get some friends together to make the purchase and watch movies together, it will get to be cheaper than going to the theater real quick. You can buy 4k Blu-Rays instead of tickets.

The thing to understand is we're talking about sixth tenths of a degree warming since 1990, when averaged over *the entire globe* for the *entire year*. If the change were actually distributed that way -- evenly everywhere over the whole year -- nobody would notice any change whatsoever; there would be no natural system disruption. The temperature rise would be nearly impossible to detect against the natural background variation.

That's the thinking of people who point out that the weather outside their doors is unusually cool despite global warming. And if that was what climate change models actually predicted, they'd be right. But that's not what the models predict. They predict a patchwork of some places experiencing unusual heat while others experience unusual coolness, a patchwork that is constantly shifting over time. Only when you do the massive statistical work of averaging *everywhere, all the time* out over the course of the year does it manifest unambiguously as "warming".

In the short term -- over the course of the coming decade for example, -- it's less misleading to think of the troposphere becoming more *energetic*. When you consider six tenths of a degree increase across the roughly 10^18 kg of the troposphere, that is as vast, almost unthinkable amount of energy increase. Note that this also accompanied by a *cooling* of the stratosphere. Together these produce a a series of extreme weather events, both extreme heat *and* extreme cold, that aggregated into an average increase that's meaningless as a predictor of what any location experiences at any point in time.

Not a single word about methodology

"Stuff that matters" my ass.

Denialism is really boring trolling. You are a penis bird's clown shoes.

"People using normal comes-and-goes of the weather to frighten others into toeing their line are despicable."

People ignoring science, including what it says about localized weather events including some occasional cooking, are dumb as shit. And when they claim other people are using scare tactics because they lack the mental fortitude to handle bad news and they want them to stop so they can feel secure amidst chaos, it's pathetic.

"Somehow a 7 liter diesel dually truck is fine to daily drive, but a 50mpg 2.0 turbodiesel in a small passenger car is so restricted as to ban the category entirely."

The one and only fun 50 MPG diesel car ever sold in the US was the original Golf TDI with what, a 1.9? Then the Germans all willfully cheated the emissions tests for diesels and they all had to cancel those models, because no one was buying them, and they no longer got that mileage either. Germany, Germany's automakers, and Bosch did that. Blame the right criminals, please.

Republicans are mass shooters.

Democrats are the Uvalde police.

If they cut Medicaid then here in California where we currently aid the undocumented with our program called Medi-cal (which is really just Medicaid plus some other programs), we will probably not be able to afford to do that. We will need to spend what money we have for the purpose of aiding citizens who have been cut off because this administration wants them dead.

And that has what to do with torture exactly?

And they will expand more.

The thirteenth amendment still permits slavery as a punishment for commission of a crime. And it doesn't specify which crimes, so they could be any at all.

Who is going to pick crops after we traffic all the people doing it now? Slaves.
