So that’s part of the same point. They COULD have access to guns and could shoot each other, but nobody wants to. Thus guns are only a problem when there’s other underlying issues.

Ah but is that not something they opt to do because they feel safe? In comparison, American gun nuts would never do that, they don’t feel safe without their guns.
- Comment on Time to bash Americans again 5 hours ago:
It’s not a dumb comparison because it shows that in a healthy society, people don’t try to murder each other even given the chance. The fact that Americans buy guns for “freedom” is a symptom, not the root cause of all issues.

Ah, I was not aware. I always did wonder how they did it on converted equipment, as the factory-built CNG buses here have something like a 13.6 compression ratio not 19ish like the diesels that get converted.
Kind of misleading then that the company doing the conversions doesn’t mention it.
- Comment on Time to bash Americans again 7 hours ago:
It’s not JUST the guns tbh. Everyone in Switzerland has a gun and they don’t shoot eachother up. American society is fucked up on multiple different levels and the guns are just adding extra fuel and oxygen to a forest fire.

Diesels get modified to run CNG all the time where I’m from, but I’m not entirely sure how much extra modification they require. LPG conversations on gasoline engines are much simpler, but the diesel CNG conversions exist too - just not for passenger cars generally.
I assume that have to lower the compression ratio somehow and that’s why they cost so much more than the gasoline to LPG conversions

That’s one thing, but there’s definitely a factor of “if there’s a market downturn AND we have to foreclose, we don’t want to lose too much”.

Reminds me of that post about red splatter in a children’s hospital and some guy saying red has more positive than negative connotations in color theory. Wait, is this a reference to that?

Yes exactly. They provide a service, you pay for it by watching ads and facilitating personalised advertising.
In comparison, some of the books I’ve bought have cost more per book than a month of YouTube premium, so the value isn’t THAT bad on YouTube.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 2 days ago:
You also need to buy books, or borrow them from someone else who did. YouTube videos are free usually.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 2 days ago:
Yes, large scale video hosting is notoriously free to provide.
YouTube the service absolutely has a cost to it. It’s been born by the owners at first and then people who watch ads. It got profitable when they started showing more ads. Premium is a way to get out of watching ads. You and I use adblockers and it’s fine but if a significant share of people did, the cost for paying users would have to keep increasing.

Lol you’re the one plugging a super inconvenient solution as if it should be the default, I just took it farther to ridicule yours. It’s great that you can’t stand criticism of your questionable ideas and have to block others.
Have you considered that the average TV user sits down after a hard day and doesn’t want to troubleshoot a wireless mouse, nor boot a computer separately from turning on the TV? The world out there is rough, your TV is supposed to be the one thing that just works and numbs it down for you so you can pretend things are fine.

Yeah fuck using a keyboard and mouse at 5 meters away. You really should roll a custom Linux box with a remote control setup and Plasma Bigscreen. Custom YouTube client too, for better visibility

You went from a 120 Hz display to 60 Hz, literally half the speed. Could’ve gone 13 Pro or Pro Max and had a better experience. Yeah, it sucks. Apple really gimps their non-pro models with displays. The Plus is just a base iPhone but bigger.

There were different types of soda available in the Soviet Union, just not as many as in the west. Want something truly weird? Try Tarkhuna. The bright green color is natural.

RATs existed for a long time but you needed to manually hit record I think? I’m assuming this is just some extra automation.

Okay sure I made a typo, but my point was more that an open source 4K TV would be more approachable, cheaper, and just as good if not better for most people interested in one.
- Comment on It's a whole genre! 3 days ago:
Okay tbh I phrased it a bit differently from what I meant. I did mean that most aren’t amazing, not that none are.
The slop I think is just there for a regular pay checks and fun with friends, whereas the good movies are to fuel the creative fire.

His movies are just group trips to nice places with his friends and they all get paid. The great friend part seems to check out if you ask me.
Basically none of them are amazing movies but everyone gets paid. Sometimes for going to a tropical resort.
