"Enlisted not for a month or a year... Enlisted for the whole war, til it was over or you were dead. Man... Rough rough fighting men right there.",
"I’d love it if the audio on these videos could be processed with AI to add more bass and realism to the voices.",
"That's how it normally is... Especially in total wars like the Civil War, WWI, WWII, etc. Soldiers in those wars were deployed the entire war.\n\nLetting soldiers go home during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars was a new way to boost morale and effectiveness, while perpetuating a never ending war.",
"True say. But I'm thankful I was able to come back home the times I did. I bet they wish they could have done similar all the time.",
"Because it’s a 100 year old video that’s been cleaned up.",
"> 91 years.\n\nIf you are going to be a pedant about it - should probably get it right, its closer to 93 years. (depending on when it was filmed vs released)",
"But why the stretched image?\nThe cleaned one is super unnatural when you look side by side",
"Was curious about why they said they 'fought the Dutch' - [came across this](https://www.quora.com/Why-do-Confederate-veterans-of-the-US-Civil-War-refer-to-the-Union-forces-as-the-Dutch-in-interviews-done-decades-later). I'm assuming based on which side the 'Dutch' fought on that these are two Confederate veterans that fought against the Union forces.",
"It looks like someone who didn't know what they're doing ran it through AI software. The aspect ratio was correct in the original, they messed it up. The most elemental of rookie mistakes when editing video.",
"They were Confederates. \n\nFirst guy says he joined in Missiouri under Colonel O'Kane. The battle he is talking about the Battle of Cole Camp.\n\nThe second guy confirms they both served under General Price.",
"That’s not how the Beatles AI thing worked at all. The AI removed the background noise so that WE could properly enhance the audio. In terms of actually enhancing the audio it’s done by a human.",
"I’m not sure where you got “Beatles AI” from my comment?",
"That account is an AI",
"Okay still? That’s not how audio enhancement works? At all? I’m a professional audio engineer. Like what are you trying to say? I assumed you were referring to the sort of algorithm used to clean up the audio for ‘Get Back’ considering that is the only example of such sophisticated AI being used in commercial media (it has only been in existence for a short time). I assumed that’s what you’re referring to because you couldn’t possibly be referring to anything else? There are no other uses for such an algorithm? Why am I getting downvoted? Because you’re disappointed that AI isn’t magic and can’t just magically clean up recordings?",
"The car is likely the wrong color. It most probably was green or potentially even cream colored. Red wasn't really a car color used much in the 1920s. \n\nBoth men would likely be wearing grey suits, rather than the odd color choice here. We'll never know for sure, but I highly doubt the 91 year old man is wearing a green jacket and the 81 year old man is wearing a blue jacket. As to the color of the ties, there is simply no way of knowing, but the purple tie would likely be correct, but I don't think the other tie would be blue, but rather yellow or something along those lines. \n\nThe stretching was super odd for me and I'm not sure why it was done. Also it was way over smoothed, as you stated. \n\nOver all this was not a job that was done well and doesn't have a basis in the styles of the time.",
"Is this a bot",
"Well when the fighting is in your backyard nobody really goes home.",
"Crazy to think this was only a few generations from now. And the Republican party would have you believe racism is dead.",
"I'm sure he was aware of that lol I was pretty much quoting what he said in the video. And saying that must have been rough.",
"Wasn't it the democratic party that was mainly the South and republican was mainly north? Wasn't Abraham's party republican? To think in a republican/Democrat mindset is the dumbest way to live whatever kind of life you think you live.",
"I was referring to the many many AI tools to improve poor quality images and footage. Particularly for historical footage, AI colorisation.\n\nWould love something similar to improve the audio of historical footage. Voices should be easy since we know what human voices sound like (unlike colorisation which has no good references to train the ML) and we know exactly the ways in which old microphones were deficient (exactly what to “put back in” so to speak).\n\nSide note: I’m friends with the multi-Oscar-winning audio engineer who mixed the Get Back doco.",
"You aren't very smart are you?",
"There was a party switch between 30s and 60s. We even had parties we no longer have like the Whig party.\n\nWe have the Democrats and Republicans now so that is how we see politics.\n\nToday's Republicans don't have much to do with Lincoln. Sadly in a few decades Democrats won't have much to do with FDR.",
"Actually the microphones weren’t really the problem it was more so the playback etc, but anyways your good friend will tell you that the algorithm in Get Back was used to remove intrusive audio such as loud guitars drowning out their dialogue so that they can then uncover the underlying vocal and ‘enhance’ it using normal methods. All I’m saying is that what you’re proposing will never exist because that’s not how it works. Audio is just vibrations, something can be removed, or made more prominent in a waveform. But if the information is not in the waveform, it never will be. It cannot be ‘put back in’",
"It was precisely the microphones that were the problem. If the playback were the problem that’d be an easier solution because the waveforms would be accessible.\n\nThey’re not accessible because they were never captured because the mics were poor.\n\nAnd, yes, missing information can be put back in. That’s the whole point of AI. We can do it with images and video.",
"Bro… this is too funny",
"First off, there was a party ideology switch nearly a century ago that saw the previously progressive Republicans move into the party they are today. \n\n\nTwo, we have a two party system and last I checked, one was actively campaigning to remove racial history from school curriculums. It's not a far reach to draw these two points together.",
"You’re being a massive idiot.\n\nWe can do great AI text-to-speech (Siri) *right now*. Layering realistic low end synthesised vocal range to existing historical recording is *not* a fairytale.",
"Again, wasn't that the democratic party? Looking to remove racial history from school systems? Hell just look at the school systems now! I have a young one that was in public school but I also remember back when Obama was in office and tons of stuff was changed in the school systems, but also plenty of confederate history was removed. Both parties do this crap... You still think in a republican/Democrat manner. It's sickening really.",
"I'm aware of the \"switch\" if that's what you want to call it. Lol but that mindset is what's stupid ( that I'm pointing out, which looks like you have it as well) you should see politics for what it is really it. Both parties are out to screw the average person in one way or another. Neither is there to really help. I mean look out our president, he been policking for 40 yrs and hasn't done much of anything worth a shit. If anything with his 3 strike rules, just made it harder on the black communities and family hood.",
"*Republicans* are actively working to remove CRT and the 1619 project from schools (wether they're being taught or not). Can you link us any specific examples of democrat led motions to limit school curriculums? Any at all?\n\n\nAgain, there are two parties and the both for the most part vote exclusively down party lines. You keep talking like we don't live in a dichotomy but I'll wait to for you to let us know what the other political parties in power are. And yes, the Democratic party *at the time* was in favor of slavery. Though I will remind you of the party ideology switch that took place and they both went to the opposite ends of the spectrum to where they are today.",
"No I'm not searching for that shit from my personal experiences looking for some motion probably hidden in some 1000 pg thing labeled as some transportation motion lol this is a pointless discourse anyways cause I have a strong feeling even if I did find one and link you to it, you'd just claim it's for the best or its what's right in your opinion or something along those lines.\n\nBut isn't it crazy to hear... Republicans abolished slavery from the democrats and soon after Republicans became the racists.... Lol sounds silly if you ask me. But then again, this 2 party mindset is silly to me. They both work together to screw over everyone else. Glad I'm libertarian... We may not get the chance we deserve but we also aren't screwing over everyone every chance we get. Lol"

"They call themselves dispatchers but they are more accurately described as overseers.",
"> Wow this one stopped for 47 minutes!\n\nFire him. He just cost Jeff Bezos $0.000054 ^^^^/s",
"Holy hell.....no wonder Amazon is light years ahead pf competition.",
"Two things really stood out to me. \n\n1. How concentrated delivery areas are per driver. Ofc this is a bit more of an urban area of CO Springs but still more than I would expect.\n\n2. The \"dispatcher\" seemed to be familiarized with these drivers, at least many of those he had highlighted as well as the area. I wonder if a dispatcher is only responsible for a single group as shown or multiple. \n\nHonestly looks like a pretty cake job in a remote work situation. Hell, I'd keep one monitor dedicated to this for free out of both curiosity and an opportunity to yell at Joe for stopping for 48-got-dang-minutes!",
">The \"dispatcher\" seemed to be familiarized with these drivers, at least many of those he had highlighted as well as the area\n\nDispatchers run DSP's, the companies that hire the drivers and rent the vans, they do not work for Amazon officially. They take the routes available from Amazon each night and assign them to their drivers for the following morning.",
"Well he's only showing the part of his job where you can oversee the drivers during their delivery. He most likely also assigns and schedules drivers to routes if needed",
"Thanks for the insight! I was wondering myself if these were part of the independent contractor side or part of Amazon's fleet. Very neat to see, logistics always fascinates me.",
"Yeah, that's like a 45 min nap afterwards. We ain't paying you to cuddle.",
"The group being shown is an entire fulfillment center's DSPs. This video is only showing DSP deliveries. There are also FLEX drivers which are like the \"Uber\" drivers for Amazon deliveries using their personal vehicles. They typically do Same-Day deliveries, but can also do other sorts the fulfillment center requests go out that day.",
"He states that the software assigns the routes to drivers automatically and he isn’t really supposed to do any of that because of an algorithm that optimizes that process.",
"He covers that at the end of the video. The algorithm assigns the routes to the drivers automatically.",
"seems like a panopticon kind of thing. keeping tabs on everybody, constantly watching them so you can poke them to be more efficient.",
"The software of micromanaging.",
"Wait until you hear about the vans camera system.",
"What hits me is for the one who took the 48 minute break:\n\n\"He's only 5 ahead, so you can see that this might impact your numbers\"\n\nBut, he's still 5 ahead right? Shouldn't it matter as long as you're 'ahead' and not behind?",
"Being only 5 ahead is way too close to being behind lol. Source: I’m a driver",
"Did this job for two months. Got a call from dispatch a few times. Hurry up, you’re behind even though I was one of the fastest. Fun mindless job but gets boring very quick.",
"Used to dispatch for prime now. it was horrible and we were taught to think of drivers as people who will try to get away with as much as they can. it was dehumanizing.",
"Having the official title as Amazon Overseer sounds super evil lol",
"Do you get paid for all 10 hours even if it takes you 7 to complete the entire route?",
"Maybe Amazon uses UPS or USPS for suburbs and they only use their own drivers for cities.",
"Most supervisors or mangers do have it \"easy\" in a lot of ways. but they are responsible for when shit hits the fan. \n\nIn my job, i've gone from a tech specialist, which means I work on problem tickets that come in throughout the day. To a lead, where now I don't do nearly as many ticket. If one of my techs have an issue they can't fix or if a user has questions that my techs don't know the answers to, they get routed to me. If things don't get done, the techs don't get in trouble, I do lol.",
"Screw delivering for Amazon. Ridiculous amount of work, cameras in the van using AI powered software to judge your every move. If you want to do that kind of work long-term, go work for UPS. You actually get raises there.",
"What would your guess be?",
"Amazon's logistics don't even turn a profit lol",
"my guess would be no",
"Sounds like the opposite of hanlon's razor which most coporations think makes good managers...",
"People don't appreciate how little time you have for any problems as a delivery driver.\n\nFuck job analytics in the 21st century.",
"It's fine, you probably would've been fired anyway.\n\nThe accelerometer data is tracked because the vehicles are expensive and having you drive like a maniac is a big liability issue.",
"This is a middle management role, but what struck me is that the one glaring situation where he had the opportunity and obligation to actually manage a broken situation he just hand waved it and ignored it as \"just the way it is.\"\n\n\nMeanwhile, a worker is probably being unfairly downgraded/on warning/missing bonuses, and possibly not benefiting from proper tools, etc.\n\nAlso noticed the software falsely assumes routes that aren't even possible as having happened. It's likely a limitation of the tracking resolution filling in between data points.",
"Curious that on this given day the 50 drivers all get 5 hour routes instead of scheduling, say, 40 drivers for 7 hour routes. \n\nNot saying it's good or bad, just that as it was explained that the driver number seems to be the constant and the day length is variable.",
"Is it available in Latin America?",
"Tracking speed would be one of the first things I'd assume they do. Hell, even the cars themselves track this.",
"It’s by the hour, however if you add loading times and refilling and parking the van at night, a 6 hour route will be an 8 hour day, 8 hour route will be a 10 hour day. And every hour over 40 hours in a week is overtime pay.",
"> Meanwhile, a worker is probably being unfairly downgraded/on warning/missing bonuses, and possibly not benefiting from proper tools, etc.\n> \n\nNot necessarily true. \n\nThis is a DSP. So the driver isnt employed by Amazon, theyre employed by the dispatcher.",
"yeah im really funny",
"Lol, what do you think a dispatcher is relative to an “overseer”? This is exactly what a dispatcher does - in many fields and industries… police, flight, etc.",
">And every hour over 40 hours in a week is overtime pay. \n\nDude I would hope? This shouldn't be a fact lmao....",
"I only have my own anecdotal experience, but I wonder if UPS will survive. UPS used to deliver every Amazon package to my address but over the last couple of years it's steadily shifted and now I might only get UPS for 1 package every-other month. These days it's 99% Amazon branded transit vans or rental vans which I assume are the small contractor deliveries.\n\nI've heard good things about the benefits at UPS, but it has to be hard to compete with Amazon. Amazon is like the McDonalds of delivery services, every delivery is reliable and consistent. UPS/FedEx/USPS leave packages all over the place, sometimes they're left on the street at the foot of the mailbox... Amazon delivery the package is always on the front porch tucked into the same corner by the door like clockwork. From a customer experience standpoint Amazon seems to be far out in the lead, hopefully UPS isn't another case of an old incumbent company being unable to pivot fast enough to keep up with changing conditions.",
"An overseer is someone who oversees slaves, like the gig economy drivers that pee in bottles for amazon slave wages.",
"you do realize amazon only delivers amazon packages and only in large cities.",
"Lol, getting told what to do by a coordinating employee tasked and equipped with the information to do so by your employer is not slavery.\n\nKids these days and their histrionics.",
"With same day delivery, they don't really know ahead of time what their package volume is going to be, so they can't preemptively adjust their number of drivers and expect to meet delivery dates reliably. Also, I'm not sure how it works for these drivers, but at many jobs you are guaranteed a minimum number of hours of work.",
"They don't call *themselves* dispatchers, that is what their position is officially called. And this is the case across many industries.",
"Slave wages and gig economy aren't literally slavery. You can always tell when someone is a petty child because they call you a kid and downvote your post before responding.",
"Ah, they’re not slavery, you’re just equating them to slavery even though doing so doesn’t make any sense. Got it, histrionics it is then.\n\nAnd I don’t really upvote or downvote posts at all, because it doesn’t matter.",
"You understand that slave wages is a common term that people use and it's also an oxymoron if a dullard like you takes the meanings of the two terms \"slave\" and \"wages\" literally. \n\nYour repeated use of the term histrionics is hyperbolic and shows that you lack imagination and intelligence.\n\nIn closing you are dumb and you should feel bad about being so stupid but your brain is too smooth for you realize how much of an idiot you are.",
"It seems then that Amazon Dispatcher is one of those in flux jobs at Amazon that could one day be taken over fully by AI once the AI is smart enough to do the things the human dispatcher can't.",
"Yup, I'm just speculating on where the currents trends will go. Amazon is right behind UPS (21% vs 24% of all shipments in the US) and growing fast as they expand their operations. If UPS ends up losing all of the Amazon business and if Amazon pulls an AWS and makes their fulfillment available as a service to other businesses it could be a significant turning point.",
"I mean how do you think a car is getting g-forces? You're either slamming on the gas or the brakes which both involve speed.\n\nYeah no you're right. They're definitely tracking to make sure you don't take your car on a rollercoaster.",
"So they are tracking to make sure you don't make any turns? Or are you talking about taking a turn at...high speed?\n\nYou're the one sharing his experience working at Amazon not me lol."

Turns out he's a blatant sexist, climate denier, doesn't think bullying is a problem, religion should be respected as long as it's Christian, and racism is no longer a problem. Good thing he's not political. Paul Harvey had a great voice, too bad his worldview was so last century.",

"My lizard brain would still make me empty my pants.",

"Can someone walk us through the specifics?\n\n- so it starts with a wing stall… due to what? He didn’t seem to be losing speed. \n\n- what’s the recovery method? They started upside down and nose down… and then went through a full loop? They didn’t simply roll back? Why?\n\n- why did the copilot put his hands on the pilot’s hands… was he pulling too hard?\n\nThanks!",
"This was a test flight to test the plane, not the pilots. These pilots purposely started a banking maneuver too slowly to induce a stall, then proceeded to recover from the stall to test the air frame. The recovery method is to allow gravity to increase your air speed while falling, to the point the plane has enough lift to recover. This is a risky maneuver in a plane of that size because of the real possibility of getting into an over speed condition where you’re going too fast to create lift. The throttles are pulled back to idle in an effort to prevent that. Once you have air speed you’ll want to slowly climb out of the stall, if you are too aggressive you could damage the flight surfaces, or even stall again. When the pilot reached over to the captains flight controls this was more of a reminder and verification to keep the recovery slow, steady, and controlled.",

"Most airliners are rated for 2.5-3gs in normal flight, which isn't actually a huge amount. Normal turns in an airliner will be around 1.2-1.4gs but military aircraft can go up past 10g!\n\nThe wings can take more than that, it's just the rating for *normal* operation and there's plenty of headroom, but pulling out of a stall could easily exceed the normal limits due to the whole body moving downwards a lot faster than normal.

"Think of it this way: planes are designed to handle this kind of insanity, and they actually test them for it so regular planes won't have to. \n\nThe airplane you'll be flying in is incredibly over designed and nothing like this ever really happens to commercial flights",
"Nah, the test stall is wings level and benign. You should recover with minimum loss of altitude, so you only drop the nose slightly and apply full power. You can fall out of a stall by dropping the nose and letting the airspeed recover, but that's pretty much a fail here. This is a test of the aircraft Notice he maintains a specific bank angle and is in communication with a chase aircraft. In these sorts of tests you follow a specific profile to get the data they need. Normally the results are planned out but sometimes weird things happen like this. Did I say weird? I meant terrifying.",
"Then they have the rest of their lives to fix it.",
"At high airspeeds ailerons can do bad things, like become completely ineffective or weird things like completely reverse. Rolling the aircaft rapidly can also have unintended effects like fuel sloshing. It also invites pilot error - roll too far too fast and you may be unable to correct it. You can recover from this wings level at 1g. The first part of stall recovery is to get the wings level and then correct the attitude.",

The overlays tend to make it look like a flight sim, but that's just diagnostic added in post so you can understand what the plane was doing outside of the cockpit.\n\nIf they had failed this maneuver, likely all four pilots and both engineers would be dead.",

"did i?",
"Which raises the question: why aren’t the pilots *in* the chase plane, operating this one by remote?",
"I’m guessing it went inverted due to the weight of their steel balls",
"Ignorance is bliss",
"Stall is when the angle of attack (the angle between the airfoil's leading edge and the incoming air) is past a critical threshhold. Normally, increasing the pitch of the aircraft will increase the lift but past the point of maximum lift the flow over the wing is disrupted and lift is lost. This is why it is commonly associated with slow speeds- because you would be increasing the angle of the plane to keep it aloft until you go too far and stall it. However, it's an angle thing and can happen at any speed, and because planes ideally 'want' to pull up from a steep dive pulling up too hard could put the wings back past that critical angle of attack. \n\nE: It seems I misread the original comment that spawned the confusion, to clarify- going too fast won't make you lose lift, but raising the nose too fast can, so my brain just scanned that sentence as the latter when it was actually the former",
"This makes sense for the 1960s, but today I’d expect risky maneuvers like this to be done by remote somehow, with no one actually on board the plane. Seems kind of double-crazy otherwise.",
"He go boom?",
"I think they *might* have parachutes inside the plane, but despite downvotes you are indeed correct. Note though that they're testing the airframe here, not the pilots, which makes it either more safe or less safe depending what you're worried about",
"That's the F-15 the F-35 is the ice cream that never seems to appear.",
"probably how the wings are designed. at high enough speeds the air starts behaving differently, It is still possible for planes to generate lift at those speeds but they need to be designed with different aerodynamics to achieve said lift. these jets were not designed for those aerodynamics so they aren't able to achieve lift at those speeds. \n\n\nsource: purely a guess.",

"Stalls and inverted stalls are not dangerous in and of themselves. Every single pilot with a certificate has practiced them dozens of times. Anyone flying for any length of time has practiced them hundreds of times or more. A test pilot like the folks here would almost certainly have intentionally stalled aircraft thousands of times, along with spins, cross controls, etc. The are practiced often so that of one occurs unexpectedly, your reactions are basically automatic. \n\nThe basics of recovery are always the same, get the speed moving in a direction you want, get the pitch angle to one that generates lift, and level the wings. \n\nA lot of it is done by “the seat of your pants”, though, and relies on sensations as well as telemetry to pull off in an orderly fashion. I would much rather be in the plane. \n\nAlso, this aircraft design was from 20+ years ago, so “fast communication” at the time might be 10 mbps if you’re lucky.",

"Most of what you’re saying seems to be about pilot training, though, whereas the explanation here is that they’re putting the plane through extreme situations to test whether it physically breaks. That seems excessively risky to bet your life on.",
"You sir, are arrogant af",
"Air going under the wings has to be slower than the air going over the wings in order to create lift. I imagine that at a certain speed this condition doesn't exist, or exists in such a small degree that it doesn't produce appreciable lift. Same reason supersonic aircraft have differently shaped wings... At higher speeds, lift forces are different. Or maybe it's that the force of the air moving OVER the wings is greater than the lift produced UNDER the wings at a certain speed. Also drag. Just because there's lift under the wings doesn't mean that the rest of the plane isn't dragging it downwards.",

"Too unreliable. Can you imagine the liability of accidentally flying a Boeing into a neighborhood because you lost radio contact? Also it's test flying. I mean, the whole point is to see what happens in real life. If you just have someone flying it remotely then the test is not realistic.",
"1. I would hope to hell they’re not testing airplanes over populated areas.\n\n2. The explanation is that this is a test of the plane, not the pilots. Which sounds like they’re putting it through extreme maneuvers to see if it breaks down and crashes. That means the pilots are betting their lives on the plane passing every single test. That seems like excessive risk-taking, even for test pilots, at least if there is any possible option to do it another way.",
"If that amazes you, you're going to lose your mind when you learn how The Whopper got its name.",
"looks like around 15000 at the time of the stall.",
"We have a good starting point then",
"No, this was a testflight. No passengers.",
"This isn't true. If you go too fast, things start to break. That's the only problem. \n\nUnless you start going supersonic, then funny things happen and the controls don't work right, but mostly the issue is things breaking.",
"If it eases your mind at all, in modern airliners there are computers that force the plane to stay within limits, so this can't happen.\n\nAlso even if it were to stall it will generally do a stall that is less dramatic. This mostly happened because they were at a high bank angle to provoke this.",
"Well before you had modern simulations you had to do this to know what would happen.",
"You performed a Split-S in a Boeing 717?",
">I imagine that at a certain speed this condition doesn't exist\n\nNah, more speed = more lift, every time.\n\n>Same reason supersonic aircraft have differently shaped wings\n\nNo, that's not the reason. It's complicated. \n\n>Or maybe it's that the force of the air moving OVER the wings is greater than the lift produced UNDER the wings at a certain speed.\n\nNo, that's not a thing. \n\n>Also drag. Just because there's lift under the wings doesn't mean that the rest of the plane isn't dragging it downwards.\n\nDrag goes backwards. Gravity pulls down.",
"It's not really about breaking the plane, and more about testing the handling in bad situations. The break tests happen in the ground long before the plane ever takes off.",
"A bit like how McDonald's is related to the aeronautical industry, Burger King is related to the maritime industry through Huntington Ingalls Industries, a conglomerate that builds ships but also turned Burger King into a chain restaurant.\n\nWhen they were building the USS Enterprise CVN-65 (at the time the largest military ship in the world), they decided to name a burger at their chain of restaurants after the codename for the ship - \"Whopper\".",
"Ah, ok. Thanks!",
"My bad, “My lizard brain will make me *swallow* my pants.”",
"It's widely known in the maritime engineering industry, but I suppose it might still be considered technically classified as it was given the name while Enterprise's design and codename of \"Whopper\" were still protected under the Espionage Act of 1917.",
"Fuck, good thing they kept their heads cool",
"> The recovery method is to allow gravity to increase your air speed while falling, to the point the plane has enough lift to recover.\n\nSo basically turn the whole thing into a giant glider?",
"\\*opens the cockpit door and dives out with his GoPro\\*",

"Ok boys, let's take some pictures.",
"Yeah remote operated sounds way more risky to me. The three sitting in a very over engineered and greatly tested in Sims airplane are plenty safe.",
"I understand that. I'm saying this wasn't like an American Airlines 747 flying from Phoenix to Cleveland or something",
"It does until you can see the sun not moving.",
"Thanks for explaining and not just saying \"that's not why\". I learned a lot",
"More like 50 years ago, but yep! The trouble is that models do not scale all airflow scenarios that well, nor the stresses of a scaled up plane because the molecules of air also don't scale with the model--> full size. Of course we can do it via computer much more easily nowadays, but imagine designing this on a slide rule and primitive computer? I can't.",
"Hang on, are you being sarcastic? Cause my post sure looks like reads like 'that's not why' to me. But really the correct answer is *no, planes do not lose lift from going too fast*. And 'it's complicated' does accurately describe supersonic designs.",
"Yup! Going back to the 1950s, at least. However, the use cases was usually just maintaining straight and level flight with minor correction inputs from the remote pilot. \n\nIn the case of an aircraft and situation like this, you’d need replication of all of the controls and instruments in the aircraft, not just throttle, pitch, roll and yaw like in earlier remote aircraft. \n\nAn additional complication is the need to maintain the data link with the expected orientation change. The predicted roll would turn the antenna away from the chase plane, causing attenuation of the signal or complete loss when the antenna faces away and the metal body of the aircraft gets in the middle. \n\nYou also need to have physical motors on the controls in the remote aircraft, as this wasn’t a fly by wire plane, it needed physical control pressure to move hydraulic actuated control surfaces. \n\nThere’s a bunch of other things I’m not thinking of I’m sure. Yes, with time and money the challenge could have been met, but that would have been a lot of research to do something that could be accomplished by just putting some pilots in the plane.",
"To anyone who doesn't get the reference, I urge you to watch Airplane! for the full experience.\n\nBut if you want to do with just a clip, [here it is](https://youtu.be/Zhw0eBCVXR4)",
"There is a video on YouTube somewhere about an Alaskan airlines flight that lost attitude control. At one point they ended up flying upside down before total control failure caused a crash. IIRC it was a loose connection that got worse every time they tried to reset it.\n\nYup, [found it](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=S-g7XC2oY4Q)",
"Everyone gets the reference.",
"Oh, I see your confusion. The CVN-65's keel was set down in 1958, but the designs had been worked on for several years earlier. The Whopper (burger) was introduced in 1957 as a nod to the engineers working on The Whopper (ship).\n\nThe Espionage Act of 1917 is simply the article of US law that made it illegal to publicly disclose information about the classified warship in 1957. Technically information disclosed back then could still be classified now, but it's so widely known that I'm not terribly concerned about talking about it here, especially as I don't live or work in the US and because none of this story is true.",
"And this is why you should never go on a Boeing jet. Also damn those are good pilots",
"You should check out the show the right stuff. Talk about test pilots haha these guys have a death wish",
"But have they ever sat on a grown man’s lap?",
"That's what I thought. It's a job where the pay will never be enough.",
"... are you serious?",
"This situation clearly explains the “shitting pants” which Neegan always talked about. Amazing piloting skills. Would have been cooler with zombies. Just thinking aloud.",
"I'm going with 69,420 altitudes.\n\nSource: I've been in a plane before.",
"Haha what the hell, no! I'm saying it's unlikely they were flying just above the \"warning\" altitude and stalled the plane that badly on purpose. Perhaps they were trying to perform a less extreme stall. Hence the pilots apparently deliberately stalling the plane at such a low altitude.",
"1. They won't.\n2. They're testing it's flight characteristics. It's essential to understand how it performs under various conditions as, especially in this period, there weren't computers running advanced simulations. Even today aircraft are deliberately stalled to check the simulations match reality. That being said most modern aircraft don't react like this 717, they're much more benign in the stall.\n\nYes it's risky, but also essential to the certification process such that when you take a flight there aren't any 'unknowns' in the aircraft behaviour",
"You're right, though technically if the wings snap off you'll lose lift lol"

Would calling a shot the \"Disney Princess shot\" because it's a wide shot like a Disney characters eyes be a similar phrase? Would that be insulting Disney princesses? \n\nI just really only see how this is bad if you think having slanted eyes is bad, and the shot he took was a bad shot. But he wasn't using it to describe something bad, and having thinner eye shapes isn't a bad thing. It was a descriptor used neutrally.\n\nThanks to anyone that can help.",

"MJ wasn't the first to do this. Probably the most popular to do it though.",
"It's a bad thing to say, because it equates being Chinese with having slanted eyes. It's not good manners to ascribe physical characteristics to an entire group. Many Chinese people have mono-lid eye shapes, and many Chinese people do not. Ditto for millions and millions of people living outside China as well. Why do you think it's okay to say that a \"Chinese\" shot is \"Chinese\" because it's slanted, like their eyes? Can I ask where you're from?",
"Well i explained why i didn't see why it's a problem above, is there anything you'd like me to specify more? I'm on phone with broken screen so it's tough to type it all out again. Even this took forever lol\n\nI don't think it's the best way to describe the shot, for sure, there were better things he could have picked like \"tilt a whirl shot\" or something. There's just nothing inherently wrong with having slanted eyes so i didn't see how it could be taken badly initially.\n\nBut the \"bad manners to ascribe physical..\" point makes sense. Although i don't think firing material, but makes sense to try and avoid stereotyping as much as possible.\n\n\nI'm Canadian btw.\n\n\nThanks for taking time to offer extra perspective!",

But everything else is new, e.g. USB 3.1 (or 3.2, I forgot) ports, a 3000x2000 slightly larger screen, i7-10710u, NVMe, and a few others like reinforced aluminium in the screen. And it even has a USB-C port that supports DP, charging, etc.\n\nAnd it still came with the original barrel jack charger, but I replaced that with USB-C myself [using this mod](https://www.tindie.com/products/mikepdiy/lenovo-charging-port-type-c-pd-x200t-x201t-x200/). Because while the new USB-C port supports charging, it's directly soldered to the motherboard and in an awkward position. Whereas that mod has the traditional ThinkPad style of having it separated out on a cable (no stress on the motherboard, no stress on solder connections, easily replaceable, etc).\n\nI'd love to try and give it a go one day. How do I even tell if the modem is detected? I run linux so not sure where they appear under /dev/?",

"An 8088 was what I learned on when my family got our first PC. My mother had a word processing business in the 80s.\n\nLike - she had an entire business built around Word Perfect. She had to get a loan to buy a 20 meg hard drive for the business, and people thought she was insane for wanting that much storage.\n\nWhen Windows 3.1 came around, she worked as a PC instructor for businesses that were transitioning to computers. She drove a converted Winnebago that was a mobile computer learning station. She had 8-ish desktop workstations in the back, and she'd drive it to wherever she was teaching that week and set up in the parking lot.\n\nIt was really neat being a child in the 80s and seeing my mother at the front of the new technology wave. She ended up having a career in corporate automation and did very well for herself up until her retirement.\n\nMy sister and I grew up on computers. She's very-highly placed at Microsoft.\n\nI'm the permitting guy for a city by day and a university scuba instructor by night.

"Sure! \n\nUp until the 80s (or 70s?) people weren't allowed to wire in any equipment to the phone network that wasn't provided by the phone company. As a result you couldn't just plug a modem into a phone jack the way modems from the 90s did. \n\nThe workaround was acoustic couplers, like the one in the video. Since all phones were provided by Bell, they all had roughly the same shape and it was therefore possible to make a more-or-less universal 'receiver' for the phone handset to sit in. This receiver put a microphone where the earpiece of the phone sits, and a speaker where the mouthpiece sits. \n\nIn other words, the modem literally 'talks' into the phone just like a person would. You dial the number manually, wait for the other end to answer, then place it in the modem so it can talk to the other end.",
"There really wasn't much in public internet before the 80s, but government and military systems were sometimes interconnected for email and data transfer.

In the early nineties they started hosting MUDs on college servers. \n\nAs a college kid you would get an account to dial into your college with your modem which gave u Internet access. All text based. Browsers were a thing really until Windows 3.1 came out. \n\nThe diff between BBS based games was they would usually have less than twenty players in the world. They were all likely from your area code because local dialing was free and long distance was expensive. \n\nMUDs would have hundreds. And the players were from all over the world. \n\nWorld of Warcraft was nothing more than MUDs with graphics.",

"> I wish this was more common, I guess a laptop needs to be REALLY popular for people to design new motherboards for them though.\n\nThe reason it isn't, is the same reason schematics are never available. Because Intel and AMD both have very very strict licensing and regulations on who they will sell parts to. You don't even stand a chance if your company has less than 50 people.\n\nThe X2100 exists in a legal grey area. They didn't have licensing permission, they just did it anyway, likely using leaked documents. Then they got all the components on the grey market, e.g. the CPUs are all ES CPUs (I believe, maybe some leaked retail as the latest X2100 shows up as retail in cpuinfo). They used late stage QS ones so the performance is still the same as retail, but they only got ahold of them because someone violated their contract with Intel. And chipsets etc were harvested from other laptops I believe.\n\nIf you wanted to do this in the West, you wouldn't be able to use the leaked materials. You'd have to do a clean room reverse engineering of everything. And you wouldn't be able to use anything like ES CPUs or leaked unsoldered CPUs. You'd have to do it all from spare parts, which would dramatically increase the price, make it very difficult, etc.\n\nIt's a ridiculous oligarchy. The Framework laptop only managed to release schematics by basically forcing their hand.",

"\\> How can you even determine your neighborhood has the highest manual transmission ratio in the country?\n\nHaha ok so first off I said \"probably one of the higher\", I'm not making any factual claims here, and 100% you're right there's zero science, but let me share my (admittedly flimsy) observations:\n\nIn the US it's about 2.4% manuals. In my neighborhood it's incredibly dense parallel parking. I take my dog on long-ass walks every day which are super boring and soon after getting a manual 5 years ago I got curious and started looking to see how many manuals I saw. It was between 1/4 and 1/3 of cars. I've been passively observing it for years so it wasn't like a weird manual car convention day. Also, MD tint laws are pretty standard so nobody has below 35% and you can see right in with no effort. Also because of the absolutely terrible parking, the vast majority of people have compact cars because trying to fit a truck or SUV is a gigantic pain, so again it requires no effort to observe the majority of cars on the walk.\n\nAdmittedly that's still totally anecdotal. I went to google maps satellite view to count how many cars are on that dog walk route, and it's about 160 just on the sides of the streets I walk him. Also, parking is so shit here that almost nobody gets to park near their house, you just take it where you can get it often 4+ blocks from your house, so day over day there's a huge amount of turnover, so I'm not just seeing the same phenomenon of a handful of cars every time.\n\nAnyway, all that to say that my casual observation is that my neighborhood has something close to 10x the national average of manuals in the US. Does that mean it's \"definitely the highest in the country\"? Certainly not, but aside from theft deterrent I can't really figure out why a specific place would have that much of a skew, and there are few places with as much crime as Baltimore (really only 2-3 depending how you're counting).",

So now, back in Europe, I drive an automatic. And I think it's fair to say the 9-gear automatic box in a Mercedes is pretty advanced. But in my experience it's only consistent (and lazy as fuck) in the comfort--mode. As soon as you switch to S or S+ modes and you accelerate/decelerate especially in a non-linear fashion, the box is confused and often in wrong gear. With a manual I'd be correcting this.

Notice how often their car is being pushed around, bumped up curbs, etc. The less the car is in predictable conditions, the longer the automatic will take to assess the situation, and the more it will work against the driver's intentions. And in a situation where milliseconds count, there's no time for that. This guy can see, not just what's happening *now*, but what's *about to happen* before the automatic system could possibly know about it. You don't want to hit the gas pedal and have the car take moments to decide it should downshift, and then assess traction and shift again, etc. This guy needs a specific gear and throttle response at a very specific moment, no more, no less.",

We get similar incidents on a more-than-weekly basis, this one's video footage just happened to have been posted to social media.

So these guys generally make their way through the hundreds of jobs available to people with their skillsets, and end up as security consultants or heads of security at some cash-adjacent company (like safe manufacturing companies, VIP protection units or outsourced security companies).",

Now, if you can source something better I’d love to read it, but from what I’ve found, those legs shots weren’t necessarily due to policy (aiming for the leg) but more so just bad aim. \n\nIn either case, I would only ask you to consider the following; 1 bullet doesn’t necessarily solve your problem. Sometimes even multiple bullets won’t do it if they don’t hit a critical area (heart, lungs, spine/brain) right away. So in cases where your life is in danger *now*, a leg shot is probably not going to save you. \n\nHere’s where it gets tricky. If we know that leg shots aren’t going to stop a lethal threat quickly, it only leaves it as an option for non lethal encounters where you’re hoping that the pain of the wound will stop the attack. I appreciate and understand this position; try to use the least amount of force. \n\nBut what if they *do* die from that leg shot? Now you’re going to have someone’s family asking you why you shot their loved one if they weren’t presenting an immediate threat. You shot them, and they died, even though all you meant to do was hit them in the leg. \n\nHow would you respond and defend your actions in that scenario?",

"Can’t say for sure in SA but pretty much every law under self defense in the US is primarily concerned with applying reasonable retaliatory force — them running away doesn’t make them not a threat because they can just as easily come back and continue shooting; there’s nothing preventing you from shooting someone who is retreating if you still reasonably believe they could pose a threat. A dude running away can still pop off shots at you, and someone who’s run away can still come back — the idea that you can’t shoot someone who’s running is outdated, and mostly applies in cases where someone has a melee weapon, because at that point you have the ability (and sometimes duty) to retreat, unless they’ve reasonably demonstrated that they are no longer going to harm you. \n\nIn this situation if he’d jumped out with a launcher and smoked them as they ran off he’d still probably be fine under US self defense laws; he was one dude facing two armored vehicles of dudes that have already shot at him, he can do pretty much whatever he wants at that point aside from executing a downed guy.",

As I said, I have zero patience for highschoolers pulling bullshit out of their ass.\n\n>In regards to “trapped and taking fire” he was not originally trapped and taking fire\n\nIrrelevant to the use of force determination. The only thing you ever look at are the conditions when use of force is taking place. When he steps out of that car can he safely retreat? No he cannot and is then able to use deadly force. \n\n>Once he’s trapped then yeah, of course stand your ground applies, obviously. \n\nNo, again that is not what stand your ground laws say. Specifically SYG says you bear no duty to retreat, in this case this person did have a duty to retreat but does not at the point where he steps out of the truck. \n\n>I’m not saying he ever had a duty to retreat\n\nHe did.\n\n> I’m merely pointing out that if he did, he would have fulfilled it. \n\nThe determination is made at the exact moment you go to use deadly force. Let me give some examples from SA law, a person gets into an argument in traffic and approaches another driver's car. That driver then threatens them with a knife. In SA and in any state with a duty to retreat, the person who walked up to the car would then have to attempt to run away ***if it is at all possible for them to do so safely.*** In the case I am talking about however, that person killed the person with the knife and was found guilty. SYG would alter that determination in saying you do not have to retreat when threatened.\n\n>As I said in the original comment “he already demonstrated a duty to retreat anyways”\n\nAgain, individuals do not have to demonstrate anything. You either have a duty to retreat or you do not. Even if this driver had not attempting to flee in the truck, lets say he's stuck in traffic, if any person is being actively shot at no court is going to say they could have safely retreated.\n\n>For a lawyer your reading comprehension and grasp of connotation is terrible\n\nI have considerable evidence to the contrary.

It existed before that since ancient times sure, but this is where the modern rules were really codified. All of our laws are built upon this notion of being secure in your personhood and property. It is foundational in a way most people don't truly appreciate, and this is why the same language can be found on four of five continents. \"Use of deadly force requires the reasonable fear of death or serious bodily harm.\" \n\nWhich is exactly where you want the line to be. You don't want people getting shot at having to run through legal arguments in their head. If someone reasonably believes they are going to be killed, that person can and should defend themselves by all means necessary. The interesting part about it is that even *the governmen's* use of deadly force grows out of the same place and is supposed to have the exact same requirement. Citizens imparted the ability to use force to their governments in their place ***but also on their behalf,*** which is why the requirement *ought* to remain the exact same.",

Some of the earliest research in this area was performed at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and University of Delaware in 2003. Liquid armor was initially presented as a way to increase the survivability of soldiers in high risk roles while retaining their mobility, as reported by NPR in an interview with MIT professors and a U.S. admiral. Typically, it consists of Kevlar that is soaked in one of two fluids - either a shear thickening fluid or a magnetorheological fluid.\n \n^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/videos/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)",

"I’d disagree, unless you’re talking about those very expensive high performance dual-clutch transmission (DCT) automatic boxes. Those are obviously great, which is why you get them in cars like Ferraris and Porsches. They are pretty expensive to buy and maintain though. Not sure how reliable they would be reading some big hits in a car chase either.\n\nThe pecking order on track is generally Sequential > Performance DCT > Manual > Auto being controlled manually > Auto left on auto.\n\nThe shifting you get from the old school hydraulic automatic transmission with a torque converter that you’d still get on the average mid priced or cheap automatic is an absolute nightmare on a track. Driving a car on the limit requires very precise control of the engine braking and throttle, which in turn requires the car to be in exactly the gear you expect it to be in at every point from the start of braking to the corner exit. Changing gear unexpectedly can even spin the car. This is a problem with older design auto gearboxes don’t respond quickly or predictably to requests to shift when you use the paddles, as the car often hangs in the wrong gear for a while before shifting, meaning you have to leave far more margin for error around the shift.",

"Frequently over-revving the engine is not exactly good for it plus the consumption curve steeply goes up when RPMs go that much above the optimum range.\n\nI suppose some might be more likely to do dangerous overtakings knowing that there's this extra trick to do the overtaking faster (but at the cost of increased engine wear & tear and much higher fuel consumption during the manouver) but I bet there are a lot more people doing dangerous overtakings simply because they have an expensive car with a powerful engine and that's nothing to do with having a manual transmission.\n\nAlso that technique can be used to make a safe overtaking possible in certain situations as at higher speeds on a car with a less than powerful engine you can lower the gear and then use the extra acceleration to do the entire overtaking manouver much faster than if using the much lower acceleration that such a car has when on the highest gear.",

"Not accurate, and some parts questionable or just false. \n\nI'm aware Leo claimed post facto afterward there was a signal jammer, as part of his spirited support of passenger. There's considerable doubt about that and it's unverifiable. He failed either way. But more importantly, he didn't even think to phone until two minutes kater when Leo told him to. Leo also had to tell him to ready the gun, which he fumbled, so Leo did for him.\n\nI know we're only allowed to give gushing and blind and hyperbolic cult-like worship of all chosen viral video heroes, but some of the things Leo has stated about the incident just aren't true. I'm not saying he's lying, more that he's misremembering or been fed things and believes them, so he repeats them. It doesn't diminish his actions to say this, but it's matter of being factual and impartial, instead of just fangirling the hell out of him.\n\nHe lived, which is fairly laudable. But his strategy was ultimately terrible as he kept turning around and engaging the robbers. That's actually not textbook. Evasion is. And on his last turn around he quite unnecessarily gunned it into some round boulder bollards and bellying up the truck, which could have been a very fatal mistake had the robbers not already taken off.\n\nThis brings up the uncomfortable fact of some of the fictionalizing that his supporters/colleagues did in reference to various aspects, but especially the end of the scene. They claimed Leo got out and stared the criminals down, intimidating them into fleeing just with his confident shooting stance and steely gaze. Yeah, except subsequent evidence review is they were gone by the time he got out. Again, that's not to diminish him at all. Guy grabbed a rifle and hopped out with no hesitation, not knowing what he'd be facing. That's ballsy no matter what. But I state what I did to illustrate how the popularized narrative isn't always the actual truth, because people love the big story, the salacious story, and if that means a few facts and truth get twisted out of shape, they don't mind doing that.",

I was fully expecting him to slam on the brakes and go into reverse to do the \"J-turn\" which you see in the movies. Extremely effective if done correctly. But even more remarkable is he is driving a top-heavy armored vehicle.\n\nBut a little bit on this guy: Leo Prinsloo, is a former member of the SAPS Special Task Force, and also the head instructor for Fortis Pro Active Defence’s Lone Operator courses. Leo also is the founder of The Edge Shooting Academy in Centurion.\n\nSouth Africa is a dangerous place. This guy is the last person you would want to carjack.

"TechTV was a part of my childhood, but it felt like Leo kept interrupting his guest. Was annoying to watch",
"That’s sort of his style. Triangulation is a show they don’t do anymore but if you listen to any of the other shows it’s similar. It used to be a bit better when everyone was in the same room but yeah he does interrupt a fair bit. Not everyone’s style of interview/conversation that’s for sure.",

"Growing up, I tended my parents garden. I enjoyed doing it. They grew cucumbers, tomatoes, okra, bell peppers, jalapenos, squash, green beans, and watermelon.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nI remember going out to the garden, grabbing a tomato off the vine, coming into the house, washing it, cutting it up, and making a sandwich. Legendary. No sandwiches have tasted as delicious. I made those sandwiches with Genoa salami, pepperoni, Lebanon bologna, pepper jack, cheddar cheese, and/or American cheese (I would mix and match these ingredients depending on what was around). Put on mayo, yellow mustard, iceberg lettuce, salt, pepper, dried oregano/basil. The bread ranged from standard white to rye and everything in between.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nWe were poor but we had ingredients to make sandwiches. Now I want a sandwich with a garden-fresh tomato.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nAnyway, hope you enjoyed the vid. I now know why those tomatoes (and sandwiches) tasted so much better and I've been chasing that \"flavor\" for years.",
"Garden grown tomatoes taste like what you expect tomatoes to taste like.",
"My parents used to grow all sorts of veg, but after years of doing it all they grow now is tomato. It's that one veg that even at a nice produce store you can't even come close to. When my dad comes inside from pruning or picking tomatoes, the entire house smells like them. I can eat them fresh off the vine like an apple. Truly unbeatable.",
"I want to HAVE SEX with Adam Ragusea! His videos are great too!",
"Lmao!!!!\n\nYour comment legit made me laugh.\n\nHe did a video about free range chicken eggs versus “mass produced miserable chickens.”\n\nWhen there was no discernible taste difference found from a blind test he did on someone else, he readily admitted that he thought it tasted better because the psychology influences the flavor. \n\nThen he said that it doesn’t effing matter and enjoy your food no matter what. That is what made me like him. Who cares if the science does not say it is any different, if you enjoy it more, go to town.",
"Work as a research assistant at a strawberry lab for UF here in Florida. Mostly creating and testing different varieties to sell to farmers. Berry type fruit spoil so quickly. Farmers that supply stores have this juggling act of taste and shelf life when picking a variety to grow. There are tens or even hundreds thousands of varieties of just strawberries that will never go to market. Right now we have this one type of strawberry that taste like a grape jolly rancher its pretty neat, but I have no idea if it will go commercial.",
"same and I can't bring myself to kill them because they turn into awesome hummingbird moths, so i'm kind of happy to let them eat my tomatoes\n\nalso my tomatoes always come out like crap because I think they just don't like my yard, so getting the moths that can pollinate my larkspur is cool enough for me.",
"I am convinced that a large fraction of people who don't like tomatoes don't like them because they have never ever had a decent tomato. I have never had a grocery store tomato that was really edible as a berry/fruit. If you grow your own you can literally eat them like a fruit and they are delicious.",
"All that matters is what is commercially viable\n\nA plant breeder has much better prospects selling a long shelf life/ disease resistant cultivar than a tasty one",
"Agreed. Average grocery store tomatoes are bland and mealy with just awful texture, and I think it's that bad texture that many people can't stand. Home grown are rich, delicate, sweet. It's wild how different they are.",

He was able to get a single seed to germinate out of the old packet he found and he cultivated it up to get the tomatoes to seed and make more. \n\nAnd of course as soon as the news gets out that he did this the scams are popping up everywhere trying sell regular tomato seeds as this super rare variety.",
"I read the title as \"why Tornados taste so much better...\" and was confused.",
"Not really, lots don't like them because they are watery and ruin lots of things you normally put them on. Nothing ruins a sandwich more than wet bread. Or a hamburger than the tomato acts like a slip in slide for everything else on it.\n\nDon't get me started on cherry tomatoes, you put those in salad its like saying \"hey enjoy that great salad..with a side of random water grenades for no reason at all.\n\nhome grown tomatoes are a freakin hassle, especially since its hit or miss of you get good ones, or if you live alone get way to much you need, because they go bad so fast, you get tired of them fast.\n\nAlso, adam is kinda bias in some of his videos, he asks a lot of \"why\" questions which don't really end up having a answer than his own personal opinion of it. For a guy who likes science, he doesn't often get a actual answer on things, just random segways to a interview with one person.",
"I don't know.... I even tried golden berries, a tomato relative, and they were nearly as hideous tasting. There is a specific taste that makes a tomato (and closely related fruit) a tomato, and that taste is like Satan's belly button.\n\n\nEdit: I've also had fresh-off-the-vine \"best cherry tomatoes we've ever tasted\" tomatoes and they were disgusting.

"I hate tomatoes that aren't fresh. They taste so different. I used to think I just didn't like them.",

I grow tomatoes for my wife and kid, I know the difference between garden and store bought. I even love tomatoes so long as they are fairly incorporated into a sauce, casserole or stew, but it can fuck right off if its in my sandwich or salad.",
"Love the point in the video where he says, “It’s because tomatoes are technically berries.”\n\nBlew my damn mind. Would we pick a blackberry while it is still green? Probably not. Not even to try and ripen it.\n\nBut tomatoes go bad so fast once they are ripe. \n\nYou’re 100% right: I can eat a tomato right off the vine. But the store bought ones are…bland and have a taste like Comet Bathroom Cleaner.",
"The stems from a fresh sun ripened tomato have a really strong pungent smell that you just don't get with the store brought ones.",
"For most, the biggest issue will be the land and sun. At least in North America since most live in cities. \n\nI have grown my own vegetables and they were delicious. Can't grow them where I live now. Man, I missed that old place.",
"I grew up in the San Jaoquin Valley. Fresh fruit and veggies are extremely easy to get. Often they've never even been refrigerated. I left California and have never found produce even close to what I grew up on.",
"Never knew tomatoes were so delicious until I had some in Naples. Tomato is obviously an important ingredient in a lot of Italian dishes, but the heirloom variety grown in the volcanic ash of Mt. Vesuvius is still more or less hand picked from local gardens. Pairing this with a dash of salt blew my mind to the quality of non-factory farmed tomatoes.",
"Ya, that's got to hurt.",

Informing millions of users, specifically his own audience, about Vanced, telling them it is a ***safe*** alternative, is huge. A lot of people that may have ignored it in the past due to it being a bit shady looking, or just not heard of it, will now be considering it, and if they enjoy it they'll be telling their peers. I bet the Vanced team are celebrating it. They, for free, gained over a million views on what is basically an advert made by one of the most influential tech personalities/journalists in the western world without him saying he was sponsored. Literally an unbuyable level of marketing.\n\nThe only reason Linus mentioned it is because he felt the conversation wouldn't be complete without it and he knew that it could harm his reputation if he didn't mention it.\n\nI'd say going for journalistic integrity and reputation points over profit is pretty based, wouldn't you?\n\nEDIT: Funny how I'm saying Linus is based just the same as /u/tyler111762, yet he is on -9 and I am on +7.

"I've posted this in multiple threads and have been ignored multiple times and have a recieved tones of hate. I don't care. A good idea is a good idea. If the LTT team sees this and thinks they could something with this knowledge. Go for it. I'm just the messenger. \n\nHere is the goal of this post. A good old fashion \"Strike!\"\n\nYup, a strike for youtube creators from around the world. A way to show their power and play their hand over the dislike button. Basically, keeping YouTube from barely making any revenue streams for at least a few days. I think it would be enough to get YouTube in line to understand where the power is held on the site. YouTube told it's community to kick rocks and they don't care about the dislike button issue.\n\nFine!!! Lets show them we don't care either by having a massive site shut down. Big and little creators from around the world for a day or more decide to not upload any content.\n\nYes, this will effect YouTube Creator's money, but if it's organized well they can brace the storm and gain some amazing changes they've been asking of YouTube for years.\n\nIt will definitely have to be organized among major and mid tier creators. Youtuber's like MrBreast, Pewdiepie and many others. I apologize, but these are the one's coming off the top of my head and since they have big communities people may listen. What does this achieve and why over a dislike button?\n\nThis isn't about a dislike button per say. It's about a massive platform who makes money off it's creators telling the people who built it to piss in the wind when it comes to their opinion and what they want. Apparently, the CEO of YouTube is out of touch with the community. Susan Wojcicki doesn't know where her paycheck comes from. This strike will show her who makes her money and allows her to enjoy those nice bonuses.\n\nYouTube only cares about money and ads so if the entire community came together and said...No mas!!!. They will listen. YouTube will be forced to the table and give the creators a voice. This is the goal and it's 100% achievable.\n\nThis would allow creators to begin implementing better changes to the site and help YouTube in the long run. YouTube is a major monopoly -an issue in it's own right- and they need to be shown that just because you're a monopoly doesn't make it so you can't care what people think. Creators make the product which in turns makes the money for the platform. Creators stop making videos for YouTube. YouTube's money stream stops being made. Simple and easy math.\n\nBut, \"There will be people taking advantage of the black out and uploading content so it won't matter!\" argument.\n\nActually, it will. The people doing that won't make enough of an impact financially to keep YouTube a float while the major creators are on strike. YouTube needs to be reminded who butters their bread and this is the best option. It won't kill anybody and all anyone has to do is not use the site. It's the most simple strike in human history. People just don't engage or use the site.\n\nHow should this be organized? \n\nHere is a few ideas - If anyone has better. Please post them in the comments.\n\nLarge/mid creators get together and send out the message via any social media. Annouce a time and date the strike will begin. Example: #YouTubersOnStrike\n\nThe creators get there employees and companies ready for the financial impact. They can help out other creators middle and lower level to be ready to join them.\n\nMake \"Going on Strike\" Trend and a hot topic on all social media. This will have the biggest impact of all. A lot of industries abuse their workers and forget where they're money comes from and who makes it for them. This might be a moment YouTube creators create a movement which could help out other industries. By making \"Going on Strike,\" go viral. Other people in other industries may decide to join in on the fun. Yes, fun. Strikes are a big deal and people are financially impacted by them. However, if it becomes a fun thing. People may be more incline to join. Especially, when they know they have support from others.\n\nPossibilities - What if the Twitch, Tik tok and other creators from other platforms joined? Could you imagine the impact? Yes, we could. Let me say it again. This is 100% possible and very achievable.\n\nThis strike could be bigger than just YouTube. It may bring other employers/companies to the table to raise wages, create better working conditions and give better benefits. This could become a world wide phenomenon. This could make literal history and create some amazing change our world needs right now. To many companies are literally destroying our planet and miss treating workers. What if this strike actually helped the planet and human civilization as a whole.\n\nThis could scare the crap out of the major corporations to make them play nice with their work force. Employees and groups could have more leverage and have a bigger voice. Something like this has never happened so we don't know, but could you imagine and it all started with a silly reddit post. 😅\n\nStrikes aren't bad. They've created great changes throughout human history for the better. I say it's time people dust off their virtual signs or actual signs and head to the pick-it lines. It's time to \"Strike, Strike, Strike!\" ✊️",

"I have to wonder, have anyones viewing of youtube videos actually change since they got rid of how many dislike a video has gotten?",

"You realize Youtube content creators are competing against each other right? If Youtuber A and B go on strike and Youtuber C doesn't, then C would get more views, more money and probably more subscribers while A and B would be left in the lurch. Being a content creator is a bit of a zero sum game.",
"Who the fuck cares this much about dislike counts. Seriously?",
"It relies on the Google API which can and according to Youtube itself will be removed by Feb.",
"That isn't the problem here, and it has a pretty easy fix, get C in on it. The problem with the idea is that not posting a new video for a few days is literally nothing. I watch a good amount of YouTube every day. Few of the videos I watch are uploads from that day. Yeah, the ones I watch first may be, but I'll hang around until I'm watching stuff from a year ago or longer. Not having uploads for. If there are no uploads from today, you know what I'm going to see on my home page? I'm just going to see the same list of videos that I would have seen later on. Maybe there is more monetization earlier on, I know that the suggestions aspect is better on newer videos, but ultimately, YouTube will not notice if all of its creators don't post anything for a week.",
"Honest question, if you are just posting them for your friends, why do you care about the dislikes?",
"Are you talking about the dislike API? It's already removed and the extension is still working.",
"No because I got the extension the moment it was released :) I'm not going to waste an hour looking for a good tutorial video.",
"Another way that works well is using the Firefox browser on Android to watch youtube and installing [uBlock Origins](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/ublock-origin/) add-on as well as [Video Background Play Fix](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/video-background-play-fix/) which allows you switch app or turn off the screen and not interrupt playback. Not as nice to use as the YouTube app, but it's good enough for me when I just want to listen to a really long video.",
"It's not about the number exactly. \n\nBut it is about removing the ability to immediately know if a video is good or bad as a viewer. If I'm looking for a tutorial and it's got more dislikes than likes I know it's probably a pretty shit tutorial or not useful or even blatantly misleading but without being able to see that I can't really tell without watching it because creators can purge any disagreeable message on a video if they take the time to do so.\n\nThen when people run into various conspiracy videos all they will see is likes and no dislikes so it can create a false consensus and encourage more to believe whatever bullshit theory is being peddled.\n\nThe far reaching ramifications of losing an incredibly useful tool to curate the content you consume will have long term negative consequences for the quality of the content being produced.",
"You know what I would like even more than the dislike button back? Youtubers to fuck off with in-video ads.",
"> the extension has a sufficient sample size\n\nOnly if it is a representative sample, right?",
"https://newpipe.net/",
"It no longer relies on the Google API. They're collecting their own data now, and it's pretty accurate (for Linus Tech Tips videos).",
">it has a pretty easy fix, get C in on it\n\nWhat if YouTuber C doesn't care about dislikes? Then all their competitors will be shooting themselves in the foot by \"striking\" while YouTuber C gets all the traffic. It sounds like you think this is unlikely or an easy fix? I think it will be the one thing that stops a strike from being a reality.",
"It's really annoying to look up videos now on subjects you aren't knowledgeable about already. So many times do I stumble upon a shit video but I only realize it after wasting 5 minutes. Repeat this with dozens of videos and it's a ton of wasted time.",
">it has a pretty easy fix, get C in on it\n\nWhat about D, E, F, G, H, I .........\n\nThere are literally hundreds of thousands of creators on YouTube. Thinking that we can get every single one to boycott the platform is very naive.",
"The one thing that stops the strike from happening is that it is a pointless exercise. Unlike an actual strike, when they stop producing content that doesn't mean that YouTube stops profiting off of their labor. They can stop uploading, but what does that do? For some of these guys, they have hundreds maybe thousands of other videos already uploaded. The video views will not be affected by not uploading for a few days or weeks if you can't get the viewers in on it, and getting enough for that to matter is basically impossible. Ultimately it is the views that they care about. Not when the video was uploaded. The only way this strike idea works is if the creators actually leave, and take all of their videos down when they go. That is something that creators have threatened and carried out in the past to basically no effect.",
"As I already said, the naive thing is the strike idea in the first place. Unlike an actual strike, when they stop producing content that doesn't mean that YouTube stops profiting off of their labor. \n \nAlso, at first I didn't think it was an issue because YouTube is not a zero sum game. Yeah, you can't watch two things at once, but you can watch one thing and then the other. But, more to the point, when you decide to not upload content for a few days, you have already given up all of the value that those videos would bring you over those few days. The fact that someone else is getting views at the same time does not affect you in the slightest when you have already reduced your income to zero. Maybe it allows a smaller channel to get a foothold, but, again as I said before, there is no reason that should hurt you. Your audience is still going to watch you. All you have missed is that potential exposure, which, I will remind you, you have already decided to give up by striking.",
"Your heart is in the right place, but it's just not going to happen.\n\nWe can't even get people to strike to get basic things like affordable healthcare, a living wage, and not having to work 60+ hours a week. \n\nGetting people to strike over a number not showing up on a website, is not going to happen. Not to mention it would have to basically be a total boycott of the site to work, because people watching videos is what makes youtube money",

"Dang, no Chromecast, but that makes sense since Chromecast device runs its own Youtube app, its not your phone streaming video to TV...",

"Who cares. Jesus get a life people.",
"This only applies to videos with 1.8 billion votes. If a video has 5k views and 200 votes, the amount of extension users is tiny and wont give a representative sample of the voters on those videos",
"So you want their content but don't want them to make money?",
"I just realized that you're not the person who originally posted the idea.\n\nI agree with you for the most part. I think it depends on what kinds of videos that creator uploads. Somebody who posts daily (vlogs/news/podcast style vids) might see a drop in viewership after the 'strike' because people who make those videos part of their daily routine might find somebody else.\n\nBut on the other side, there's people like VSauce or Casey Neistat who upload very rarely but still pull in millions of views.",
"Do you realize how expensive it is to make a production like LTT, and pay for all of the staff and warehouse and equipment? The in-video ads are what enables them to keep churning out high quality content.",
"How do you know it's accurate?",
"Which is arguably where you need it the most.",
">Who cares.\n\nGenuinely a lot of people. It sucks that you won't know the tutorial you're watching for 5 minutes is totally bullshit.",
"Watch the video. Creators can still see their own dislike counts, he compares the extension to his actual counts, and they're close.",
"the big problem (as outlined in the video) is that other large platforms did so first. I don't see youtube backing out of it unless some other do (which seems impossible).",
"Are you talking about the guy who made a video trying to justify his shitty youtube thumbnails?\n\nAww.. hard to suck him off for being 'based' when he literally did the opposite of what you described isn't it?",
"He talks about that already happening in the video",
"I've held up on vance for a bit, because honestly I didn't mind watching ads on YT videos of people I wanted to support. Between the removal of the dislike button, and now the ad bits not even showing up on the time counter (use to be a yellow highlight, don't get that anymore.) I decided to say eff it, and now have vance installed... I liked their black theme better than the YT dark theme, so that's nice.",
"I member. That's probably why I don't mind getting downvoted- because when comment upvote/downvote count was still visible, I could see that the \"-5\" or whatever sum also came with +20 upvotes behind it. I speak for them! Ever since Reddit removed the up/down count, it gives the impression that *everyone* disagrees with you. It hides that +20 in agreement and makes you feel alone.",
"If the venn diagram of extension users and LTT watchers almost completely intersect, it might be. But he can't speak to any kind of accuracy beyond that, with hundreds of millions of users and only a tiny fraction using it, it'll fall apart especially on the videos where it is actually needed low view-count fringe accounts with tutorials.",

"You sure? I'm talking about 2007-ish. The flat numbers seemed sensible to me back then but maybe you are right. Couldn't they show % up/down on comments today if that was such a problem though? Feel like there is a better answer than just net sums.",
"I don't expect people to promote things that hurt their bottom line. You shouldn't either. If creators were supporters of people skipping ads, they wouldn't have put ads on their videos.\n\nEvery single creator that puts ads on their videos implicitly dislikes adblockers, this is just him stating it explicitly.",

"Other that reflecting whether content is good or bad (assumming it’s not been neg bombed), why is it such a big deal that the dislike button was removed?",
"Like what CMcAwesome said, go watch the video.\n\nLinus already outlined what you said and then asked if non-tech creators would confirm what he see's with his videos, he even called out make-up tutorials etc.\n\nAlso to help the algorithm the developers are asking creators to give them access to analytics which would include the downvote stats so they can look at what a creator actually got versus their estimation to make it more accurate.\n\nThe biggest issue is actually going to be storage because the database required is going to be massive.",
"Sorry, Linus doesn't get any views from me. You guys can go watch it twice though if you feel that strongly about it. \n\nWhen it comes to technical topics, like fixing random program issues on windows, programming tutorials, various tutorials for learning all different kinds of programs like Blender, photoshop, etc. there are plenty of small random channels out there that have garbage tutorials on them. If no one with this plugin goes to them before you, the plugin will be useless. \n\nI don't need this plugin to tell me Linus is dogshit. I already know that. The main and most important function of dislikes was to give people a heads up on those. Some video with like 400 views, and 50 downvotes was a really good indication that video was crap. With 400 views there is a good chance not a single person using this plugin will get there before you. \n\n>The biggest issue is actually going to be storage because the database required is going to be massive.\n\nThat's been the issue from the beginning and people constantly tried to hand wave it, like storage would just appear out of thin air.",
"I love the logic behind this website:\n>To calculate the real dislikes on a video, we tabulate only increases to the dislikes, and ignore decreases.\n\nWhat is the justification for this? Firstly, it ignores the very reasonable assumption that the dislikes being removed were fraudulent and made by bots. It is a political channel after all, and apparently to some even a metric on approval rating, so the incentive to fake votes is there.\n\nBut just think for a second if you were BIG TECH and you wanted to satisfy your wealthy democrat customers. Why not just... gradually increase dislikes rather than delete them in bulk? If you were trying to fake votes, it would be effortless to do it in a discreet manner.\n\nAnd the comparison data doesn't help either. Aside from the fact that these aren't reasonable comparisons (why not compare to the White House channel before Biden? Or another similarly popular political channel, not Ted Cruz?), they still show deleted dislikes.\n\nLastly, the approval rating percentages are different even when there are no dislikes. I don't know how you can trust the source with that happening.",

"At the very least, he addressed your oblivious questions before you asked them. That's something new.",
"Not really. Unless they get 10s of millions of users the chances that this plugin might help you where it's needed is quite small. Since this was announced there were immediate calls for a 'plugin' with no understanding of what that would actually entail and whether or not that would be useful. \n\n1. Storage. Maintaining a database of dislikes for the hundreds of millions of videos on youtube is a huge storage issue. Someone has to pay for that. It's not going to be cheap and even if funding is found the moment is dries up, it's done. \n\n2. We have to deal with whether or not the people using the plugin are actually representative of the community. While it might be true in his very limited testing for his videos, there are so many different kinds of demographics out there who won't use this plugin. Any videos chiefly serving those demographics will be way off. Even in those communities where there is plugin usage, you have to consider that those willing to go through the trouble of downloading the plugin and using it may be more biased towards disliking videos. \n\n\"it looks good now\" addresses neither of those issues.",
"Funny how Linus specifically addressed both of those points in the video. But by all means, keep smashing those eggs onto your face.",
"Yeah but sometimes evolution cranks out a flipper baby that needs to die in a fire.",
"He *is not* the company, ultimately. \nThe board of the company needs to act in the interests of the company, and sometimes that means pulling Linus's punches. Check the podcast clip, he explains it better than I can and names Vanced and tells people they might want to use it.",
"I don't see that happening too soon. Nebula is a great thing, but as of now it seems to appeal to a certain kind of creator. If anything it feels more like Netflix than YouTube. It also doesn't have enough Apps, the UI needs work, I don't think it has any livestream functionality. Obviously those are things that could be changed, but until the platform is appealing to users and creators alike (and has a free option to lure in new users) I don't see it being a threat to YouTube",
"I haven’t seen likes or dislikes for about 5 years now as I watch YouTube on my Roku. It doesn’t show that. Also, I rarely like or dislike videos. I also don’t subscribe when asked and I certainly don’t click the bell.",
"I think you're conflating getting paid *to* state an opinion with getting paid *while* stating an opinion. \n\nAnd it's only an ethical problem when someone deliberately hides their sponsorship and refuses to clearly disclose it.\n\nEdit: I only watched the video once, but LTT did not seem at all to be saying or recommending anything that would be ethically dubious. If anything, he's provided reasons to recognize that sharing your video data with a 3rd party developer might be a problem for people who are more privacy conscious. Like most security / privacy issues it's a trade off. That conversation (as far as I've seen) has *not* been addressed until LTT's video.",
"Did it remotely suggest that? I was answering a question.",
"The employer won't need to worry about employees if working for them makes the employees social pariahs. Maybe the government is forcing these changes through a gag order, if so it's time to blow the whistle. Tech employees have options.",
"Why so salty over goofy thumbnails? Seems like such a trivial thing to get so upset over...",
">going for journalistic integrity and reputation points over profit is pretty based\n\nTrying to justify shitty clickbait thumbnails is the exact opposite of that. Linus is a hack.",
"It is just thumbnails tho, it doesn't change the content of the video or the quality. It just changes how much exposure they get. Your beef is with human psychology and the youtube algorithm, really.\n\nCalling someone a hack because of their thumbnails is quite literally judging a book by its cover. Goofy thumbnails help them reach a wider audience and probably help attract more kids into tech. I don't care how goofy they are as long as the video content quality doesn't suffer.",
"Ok boomer.",
"He knows his thumbnails are garbage, that's why he had to make a video defending it. That's the exact opposite of journalistic integrity. Using clickbait to sell your stuff is abandoning journalistic integrity and reputation for profit. I call him a hack for a lot of reasons, the thumbnails are just part of it. You keep doing those mental gymnastics though, I'm sure he'll take you our for pizza any day now."

"Humans have successfully bred dogs with amazing abilities and ingrained into their genes instincts which are nothing short of remarkable. We have created a nocturnal livestock guardian! The calm beautiful great pyrenees that is seen in the video 'supervising' the collie :) They regularly catch a few naps during the day and then get up several times at night to do the rounds and check the perimeter to make sure nothing funny is going on and to make their presence known to any potential intruders or predators.\n\nWe have bred border collies which instinctively will herd anything and everything, one of the cutest things is to watch a border collie puppy instinctively try to herd the small children in its family household by gently nudging them tightly together with its head and body :)\n\nYes, breeds do exist and we have successfully created remarkable results. Unfortunately we have also created a handful of breeds that simply should not exist. \n\nThey make up a small portion of the total dog population. One in particular is a tiny portion of all dogs but they are responsible for the vast majority of maulings and deaths because they were bred, through artificially selection, just as other breeds were, for aggression, 'gaminess' and for never backing down but continuing to bite and tear flesh from bone, pushing through any and all pain that might be inflicted on them through the fight.\n\nSadly, there are the ignorant that pretend that in this particular instance, breeds do not exist and that it is all about 'training'.\n\n\n\nIt is time we re-evaluated what compassion means when it comes to certain breeds and to humanely phase them out and to continue to breed constructive and productive dogs, which do not maime and kill pets, other animals and humans and children on a daily basis.",
"They need to give time for the sheep to rest. Sheep see dogs as predators, so when they're herded by a dog they get stressed out. The dog needs to lie down periodically to allow the sheep time to stop running and recover.\n\nUsually they don't tell the dogs to lie down so often, the dog is allowed to move the sheep for much longer stretches than that. Can't really say why she's calling for it to lie down so often. Perhaps it's a younger dog in training; they tend to be over-eager and impatient, and will get up again and start moving too soon.

"UPS/FedEx's insurance company would have wanted an insane ammount to cover it considering the risks and cost's involved.

Every day and each move is risk, they would have wanted at least 10-15million IMO.",

"Yes. Basically it was a mix, after a certain key point in the match where he took some time to reply he made a few moves that made no sense to a human or were in any way a natural progression to what he had been playing up to that point, but were exactly the moves that a computer would play if presented that same scenario.

Most places that aren't Pizza Hut/Papa John's/Dominnos are usually a good 5+ dollars more expensive for a pizza, though some of them might actually sell you a 16 or, if you're lucky, a 18 inch pizza.",
"Where’s the random ass raw mushroom?",
"By that definition every pizza is a casserole compared to the original neopolitan dish.",
"Same. It may just be a supply chain issue rather than cost savings now that I think about it. Because yeah, rice is probably the cheapest thing you can cook in a kitchen.",
"Pineapple just thrown on a typical cheese/sauce pizza is generally mediocre, but prepared correctly can be delicious. Donatos makes my favorite pizza with pineapple. Thin sliced roasted almonds, ham, smoked cheese blend, pineapple, and a thin dusting of cinnamon and nutmeg. It is damn good.",
"I dunno about \"most places\". I mean I get my pizzas with sales/coupons/etc, otherwise you are getting ripped off. I've seen quite a few places that don't do coupons that try to sell large pizzas for 30 bucks when I can get them from a chain for $10 or $15 with a coupon/code/app/etc.\n\nThen you have some chains that are super expensive as it is, and even for the higher prices you aren't getting a great deal on quality.",
"As someone who has worked in a pizza place I can confirm this",
"SERIOUSLY. I first discovered this when I was in college and would take my then-gf to dinner. We'd cheap out by sharing a salad and this one local Italian restaurant would top it with a couple pepperoncinis and they were like the salad's desert.\n\nNow any time I have the opportunity to put them in a salad I do.",

"They’re on to us.",

"Of course waitin on that log cabin",
"Biggest restaurant in America.",
"Lots of unrelated businesses don’t sell salads as well and do fine. However, clearly pizza places make money off it if they do it.",
"Also in practice. There's an immigrant couple who live in my home town, a Thai woman married to an Italian man. They're both incredible cooks, run a restaurant called Thai-tallian (Basically a pizza place, with Thai entrees instead of pastas and sandwiches and stuff). They got the best of both for miles around. I haven't actually tried any of the \"fusion\" stuff, but everyone I know says it's the bomb.",
"It's not \"close minded\" to say \"This is probably the wrong word for this item.\" Nobody's saying its bad food, they're just poking a little fun at the idea that a savory cake is still called a pizza, which is traditionally a flat bread.",
"Bonus points if it’s cut into small pieces and can’t be extracted from the rest of the salad",
"Or on their own. Back when I worked at Panera, eating pepperoncini off the line was half my pay. I love the way they \"pop\", so juicy.",
"I live in Belgium and I never heard of any pizza place where they even bother to offer salads. Pizzas full of nutella, however, are quite common.",
"funny as fak, but honestly who the hell orders a salad at a pizza place lol \n\ndont order salad at a pizza. order pizza and order your damn salad at a salad place. like imagine calling a salad place and ordering a pizza. how faked would that be",
"Never heard that one before",
"Ha, you think good burger places use cheddar? It's universally agreed upon that burgers get american cheese.",
"Ha you think universal applies only to your experiences. maybe do some self reflection on whether it's plausible that other places have different standards than processed cheese slices\n\nsure some burger joints choose to use processed cheese, but the good burger places choose to use real cheese (cheddar, mozza, etc)\n\n[https://travelmagazine.com/the-seven-best-burgers-in-canada/](https://travelmagazine.com/the-seven-best-burgers-in-canada/)",
"seriously Boston and Providence have a ton of these little greek style joints that all make pizza the same way and salad just like that. Some of them have way better kebab/souvlaki than anything else on their menu though",
"It’s because they’re using the pizza ingredients for the salad. It’s all diced and minced so it’ll spread flat and even on the pizza. They get really soggy really fast",
"I worked at three different pizza places and I agree, but we didn't put salami or ham on our pizzas generally. That said that's how most places do it so I'm not mad. It's a good if soggy salad.",
"Well said. And if you're really lucky, you're North of Boston and you can get a roast beef too.",
"Oh that’s the worst, they symbiotically attach to the lettuce and can’t be removed.",
"You're probably one who loves chefs like Gordon Ramsey, who's favorite place to eat at in America is In and Out. What a surprise, they use american cheese!\n\nEdit: oh, and no self respecting burger lover would ever put mozzarella on a burger.",
"lol you're probably someone who loves to strawman everyone you talk to on the internet to feel better about your poor life choices, including processed cheese on burgers\n\nso you're a burger connoisseur but like cheese for children, got it\n\nPS don't care about ramsey and never been to an in and out, guess you don't click links to know that list is in canada - this is why the rest of the world makes fun of the US; too self absorbed to realize other places and cultures exist"

"Denver has shattered two snowfall records this year: latest snowfall and most consecutive days without snow. This wildfire would not have spread had it had enough precipitation leading up to this day. And denver has gotten a whopping 0.3” of snow this season which is *insanely* low for this time of year. \n\nhttps://www.weather.gov/bou/DenverSnowLessStreaks",
"And the \"record\" only lasts roughly the last 100 years which has been one of the most mild centuries in the last 100,000 years. How did the fire start again, down power line? All these fires that are blamed on global warming are started by humans.\n\nConsecutive Days of Non Measurable Snowfall ( <0.1\") at Denver is tied at 232 with 3/5/1887 - 10/22/1887 and 4/22/2021 - 12/9/2021. This seems to indicate some type of natural cycle since they are the oldest and youngest years on record, while simultaneously being the earliest and latest days in the season. 3/5/1887 is the earliest month/day in the year while 4/22/2021 is the latest month/day. Exact same consecutive days of non measurable snowfall between the oldest and youngest years on record.",
"The source of the ignition isn't the only thing that people are talking about when blaming a fire on climate change. If the timber is way dryer (due to climate change caused drought, for instance), that would make a human caused ignition turn into a fire that wouldn't have happened without climate change.",
"It's a factor but you have to factor that against instances it was just as dry but a power line wasn't blown down. A convertor didn't malfunction in the middle of the wilderness. A tractor trailer didn't lose a tire and kick up sparks in the middle of a red flag warning. Humans didn't aggressively suppress fire leading to a massive buildup of fuels. There hasn't been massive urban sprawl in the west increasing cities by 300% in the last generation and buildings went directly into fire prone areas.",
"Yeah, a lot of people don't realize Colorado is dry and brown as hell all year round. Unless you're in a neighborhood with sprinklers, the grass is brown. Winters can be cold but they also end up being super windy and dry. Snow falls a foot at a time, but then melts and clears out within a day or so usually.\n\nJust a lot of potential for fires out there."

It's just true. Almost every rapper says and agrees that Eminem is literally one of the best. He's a GOAT. He just is lol. \"Mainstream\" or not he literally murders. Anyone who has dissed him is no longer in the rap world or even respected as a rapper because he destroys. He's a mad man. I am not even a Stan, this is just what it is. I am not even the person saying this. Listen to all the rappers who know who to rap say it. It's all out there. They all say the same thing. \"He is a crazy white boy who can rap better than anyone\"\n\nWhat people don't realize is that he's a real rapper not just a studio rapper. All that matters in real life is when 2 rappers are in the same room and are asked to rap to see who's better on the spot (commonly called a rap battle) that is what impresses people is the skill to rap on demand and lyrically murder someone. Kind of why Who's Line Is it Anyway is impressive, because creating cool shit on the spot is hard to do especially when it's amazing. Shit Wayne Brady on 5 Fingers of Death on Sway is better then ALOT of rappers who attempt to freestyle truly \"8 off the top\". 8 mile was not just a movie, freestyle battles is what he did best in real life and still would dominate today.

It's just so nutty how good it is. Then you start looking at individual verses- Hellbound, Rap Game, Patiently Waiting, Fight Music, Revelation, and for me it becomes debatable if any other rapper has created so many 16s which make your hairs raise up. The combination of the message and the way he delivers it on Sing for the Moment gives me chills. \n\nBut one thing I really like is his redemption arc. That he got sober, when clearly drug use played a significant part in his creative process. That he used the struggle as fuel for his rhymes, and that while he had a period that might be considered weaker than the rest, a lot of those tracks still go hard in their own way, and with his more recent releases, he's kind of matured into regaining some of his original lyricism and wordplay while still managing to stay relevant and listenable today. \n\nAlso Three Verses!",

M\n\nI fucking LOVE the beat on Infinite though. The remastered version on stream has a focus on the baseline that sounds so damn good.",

Kendrick dropped two amazing albums that I think are better than Em's two best albums. I like Em don't get me wrong but I feel like at this point people are just saying Em is the best because other people are saying he's the best. Kendrick has had a very consistent run of good albums. After The Eminem Show (which wasn't even that good imo), Eminem dropped hard.",
"I'd add 4:44 too. Also American Gangster",
"I prefer Amazing, but I guess it was a weak year for rap that year. Crack a bottle has aged terribly. It was meant to be a dance song, I can’t imagine it getting any plays anywhere on throwback night and people actually getting excited lol.",
"I also want to add that I don't think Em can be the GOAT since there's other rappers out there within that conversation who've dropped albums during what people would consider past their \"prime\" and yet still get loved. Jay and Nas both dropped albums fairly recently that are really well received. Em hasn't really been able to do that. His best artistic days are still stuck in the late 90s and early 2000s."

"I'm okay with cheap pizza when it's priced accordingly. I'm down with 7-Eleven and Little Caesar's pizza because it's cheap. I set my expectations.\n\nBut Pizza Hut's still $20 but tastes like a $8 pizza somebody poured too much salt on to try to hide the lack of quality. Which is a shame because it wasn't always like this.\n\nThey cut so many corners that Pizza Hut often tastes like a frozen pizza somebody greased up with a crust that FEELS mass manufactured. There's something about the crust on a stuffed crust pizza that feels unnatural to me.",

"The crust probably was manufactured. I worked there in the mid 90s, when they used to make a lot of their dough in the restaurant. It was made from a premix, but it was still made fresh. They were just starting to transition into frozen dough at that time. Some of the restaurants still made their dough, if they were big enough to have a Hobart mixer, while the smaller DELCO places used frozen.\n\nAs I understand it, all of the pizza crusts are frozen now.",

I still enjoy it for what it is (very rarely) but its got a lot of competition these days on multiple fronts. You have the neapolitan / artisan pizza places and just quality local places. Then you have the other cheap pizza places that hit a similar mark and cost less.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nI think PH has a place if they can keep a level of quality that above dominoes. The video suggest PH had some cool ideas for pizza in the past ... maybe they should consider becoming the fastfood pizza place that has GF and DF options. Food sensitivies for one kid are a big driver for why the rest of the family gets food at CFA and not MCD. Also why we hit the neapolitan pizza place and not others.",

"they flourished cause they had pizza buffets where no one else had. they also were the one of the few that does deliveries. now with all the food app, almost every other food places can be delivered now. so sometimes it’s not about what you do or are doing, but the things around you affects too.",
"They cut their topping quantities a few years ago. Had to go from two to three toppings. Tried their online site. their online site lets you do anything EXCEPT add MORE than two toppings of anything. \n\nSo, even tho they cut all the topping quantities, you can order ANYTHING you want, up to 25 toppings. and, a second.

"Bro, I haven't watched your video and I have no opinion on it's contents whatsoever. I was simply amused at the idea of someone using YouTube as some sort of authority on the truthfulness of information. Like that's your whole argument.",
">Like that's your whole argument.\n\nIf you watched the video you'd understand why that's my argument.",
"Does the video explain why you trust YouTube censors as infallible determiners of truth?",
"Watch it and find out. Or don't, either way stop asking questions which you don't really care to hear the answers to.",
">it’ll be removed soon enough once enough people report it or it gains enough attention that they have to actually take a look at it and determine that it’s conspiracy bullshit.\n\nThey already removed it for misinformation, and then I asked them which part is misinformation and they apologised for removing it and unblocked it.",
"So that's a no, lol.",
"Yep, you win!",
"So this is interesting, do you think YouTube is some all encompassing entity that can determine what is true and what is not?\n\nOr a business whose business model is to get views no matter how and what the content is?",
">Or a business whose business model is to get views no matter how and what the content is?\n\nThis statement tells me that you don't really know much about YouTube and their latest rules.",
"This tells me you will never address any of my points because you have no arguments or evidence to back any of your claims except your shitty YouTube video which hasn’t been removed (yet, give it a minute) and the fact that you keep thinking that just because something hasn’t been removed from YouTube or you received some obviously automated message from YouTube giving you an “apology” for removing your video is “evidence” that you’re right also tells me that you’re either a massive moron or have the mental maturity of a dead squirrel.\n\nSorry dude, this is just sad at this point. You obviously need some serious professional help.",
">tells me that you’re either a massive moron or have the mental maturity of a dead squirrel.\n\nWhy not both?",
"The video is framed in such a way to be conspiratory towards Gates and undermines vaccines in general. It's absolutely 100% antivax propaganda.",
"The fact that keep avoiding addressing any of my points says more than any of your posts. You conspiracy nuts really crack me up. \n\nBut hey little fella, the all knowledgeable youtube shall set us free with the truth…. Loooool\n\nEdit: just looking at your post history, geez bro, you have some very serious mental health issues, please get help.",
"You're brainwashed dude. Stop. Nobody wants to hear your insane ramblings.",
"You say things like this:\n\n>geez bro, you have some very serious mental health issues\n\nand\n\n>you’re either a massive moron or have the mental maturity of a dead squirrel.\n\nAnd you want me to bother engaging in a discussion with you?\n\nOh and also, which is it then? Am I mentally ill? Am I a massive moron? or do i just have the mental maturity of a dead squirrel? \n\nAtleast answer that one question, I'm actually really curious.",
"If I were to guess, a weird mix of all of the above. \n\nHow do you expect me to take you seriously when you don’t address any of my points and your ONLY argument is “I uploaded it to YouTube and they haven’t taken it down”, like YouTube is the ultimate paragon of wisdom and some arbiter of truth.\n\nAnd seeing as you post some really troubling things like memes about suicide and how people shouldn’t have kids and a shit ton of anti -vaxx stuff and in r/conspiracy leads me to believe you are a very troubled individual.",
">If I were to guess, a weird mix of all of the above.\r \n\r\n\nNice. The fact that you think that about me tells me I'm on the right track.",
"Which again goes to show that no amount of facts or evidence or common sense will get thru to you due to your mental health issues, crazy people don’t know they’re crazy… get some help.",
">get some help.\n\nWhere?",
"I’d start with family and friends, barring that here is a number you can call 800-273-8255.\n\nGood luck little buddy and happy new year.",
">Good luck little buddy and happy new year.\n\nThank you. From our interaction and your last sentence I can tell you're a really good person who genuinely cares about my mental health. That's why you keep telling me to get help, not to be condescending and to feel superior, but because you're actually a good person.\n\nThe world needs more people like you.",
"Thanks, that’s very kind of you, just know you’re never alone, there’s always someone willing to help, all you have to do is ask.",
"You're sounding like a broken record now. You won, its time to get off reddit and celebrate your victory."

"You listened way too hard to your driving instructor. \n\n99% of people don’t of what you’re describing because it is harder, less smooth, and slower, than just letting the wheel feed through your fingers. \n\nIf you need to quickly unwind steering lock, palming the wheel round is much faster and easier than the two-handed wheel feed technique that is supposedly the way to do it. That’s what professional drivers who have to drive fast and precisely do (rally drivers etc). \n\nI believe the double handing wheel feeding technique is only taught because you cannot drive fast that way, so it will slow down a few young hooligans (at least until they learn how to steer normally).",

The other is to chuck them live into boiling water which obviously kills them pretty quickly but must still be a hideous experience for any animal. \n\nThe reason people do it those ways was because either that's the way they've always done it or that's how they were taught by their parents. I found it quite surprising how little thought people put into what they are doing to be honest and how easy they find it. I suppose because crabs and lobsters look pretty alien to us but I think they still deserve as quick and painless death as possible rather than death by slowly heating or being plunged into boiling water.\n\nAnother apparantly humane method is to put them in the freezer and chill them until they are either dead or senseless.

You share links and people upvote/downvote based on… well, whatever criteria they want.\n\nWhat are they gonna do, exchange their precious karma for candy and bubble gum at the corner store? Besides, the original author is getting YouTube views which *maybe* results in actual ad revenue. If they didn’t want their video enjoyed by others and potentially even shared on social media (GASP!) then they shouldn’t post their, honestly hilarious, content on YouTube for the whole wide interwebs to see.\n\nAnd you’re not the only one to harp about some vague etiquette about waiting to post someone else’s content on reddit, [so I’ll just link my response to that here](https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/rsksp3/america_fuck_yeah/hqo68zs/?context=100); as if that’s a thing (it isn’t and it never will be, especialy since OP didn’t **claim** that it was theirs, lol).",
"It’s kinda hilarious, honestly. I wouldn’t worry about the people mistakenly on a mission to stop redditors from “karma farming.” You didn’t claim it was your own, you simply you posted a _link_. On reddit. A social media website that was essentially built entirely on the concept of sharing stuff you found (or created), usually links, and then getting upvotes/downvotes. _That’s how it works!_ \n\nI’m guessing the people sanctimoniously hounding you about “not giving credit” or farming karma or whatever either A.) Don’t understand how the internet works and need to get educated or B.) Don’t understand that just because someone posted something that it doesn’t mean they actually have to have owned or created it.\n\nIf anything… it’s naive.",

">*Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought?*",
"Not worth your time. They have their own subreddits for all this and a posse of alt accounts. They’re just trying to bait on other subreddits, and based on how poorly they’re doing in the upvote department, it’s not working very well.",
"Not pro-life (hate this terminology btw) but I wouldn't want my cell phone company deciding what I should or shouldn't see.",
"It’s small-minded, ignorant, and void of real human understanding and empathy. Destroying real alive human adult lives, without even the thought of exception for children and rape survivors. All I under the guise of “saving lives”. It’s vile. Women deserve the right to choose.",
"but don't third parties have a right to hear their arguments and make their own decisions? What gives you the right to be the arbiter of truth? What if it is murder to kill the unborn, and it's proven scientifically, and you spent a large time making sure no one could hear the truth?",
"Religious or political Propaganda, fake science etc. is dangerous in the hands of fools. If you want to make a point about censorship I’m with you, but try doing it with something humans with any good in them can actually get on board with",
"They do and have with everything. Google, Facebook.. this is life. Hardly limited to your phone provider. But if you want to make an argument for something and THESE are the examples you give.. the takeaway is going to be who cares, these are garbage people.. thanks TMobile!",
"Who gets to decide what's propaganda / not propaganda / fools / non-fools? It's all subjective, after all. There's also an argument to be made that trying to prevent people from expressing themselves, even if they have what you or I might agree are bad ideas, will only serve to further calcify their positions, silo them into echo chambers, and prevent them from hearing more ideas that counter their own (the best way to counter bad speech being more speech).",
">Women deserve the right to choose\n\nAgreed, but trying to silence or gaslight people that disagree isn't an effective (or ethical) way to change minds. The impulse to silence / censor ignores the fact that you still have to co-exist with people that don't share the same values. What should be done with those people, if trying to silence them only emboldens their positions? Perceived persecution is a powerful motivator.",
"If it falls under the definition of propaganda, it’s propaganda. “Information of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view”. Not limited to the “only care about eggs, not chickens” variety. If you seek to avoid echo chambers (which you should), this is exactly the type of information that should be avoided. Planned parenthood can offer you unbiased material if you’re interested. But it’s reasonable to assume you’re going to be censored differently by whatever corporate or government entity you’re patronizing. I’d assume it would block nazi and antivax propaganda too",
"You’re cherry-picking your science, and wilfully omitting and ignoring what doesn’t fit your agenda. It’s propaganda. And you’ve been fed propaganda if that’s what you think. Also if you’re concerned about TMobile censoring you, there are more important things to be educating yourself about. Censorship is ALL around you, it always has been.",
"In practice, it will always be enforced unevenly (unavoidably biased human beings making decisions) but that may be fine for you if it falls more often than not in a direction you support. Would you still support the strategy if your views were the ones being silenced? The shoe won't always be on the current foot, after all. Better to support freedom of expression, even when you abhor what's being expressed.",
"Censorship is constant and all around us. Has been throughout history, and only now perhaps more obvious and in greater numbers. You can’t avoid it, especially patronizing these corporations, and I’m surprised anyone would expect otherwise. A corporate entity choosing not to give misinformation, ignorance, or hate, a mega phone though.. is quite different than not allowing a differing opinion to exist.",
"There's an observed legal right to free expression on one hand, and then thinking it's a good idea in general on the other, both have their merits.",
"I definitely do not support the strategy, I accept censorship as an inevitability in the context. There is no shortage of examples of censorship I don’t support. Defending propaganda like this specifically, just quiets the voice of the issue as a whole",
"I don't defend the message that's being expressed, rather, I think it's a bad idea to suppress an opinion in an otherwise open forum (unlike talking motorcycle repair at the next garden club meeting).",
"If only it were so obtuse.. This is the content that’s being used to make the argument in the first place. Seems like a bad idea to use shaming rape victims as an example of how you’re being censored, surely you could find something more universal to demonstrate to your audience unless you’re going for hate bait or couldn’t find anything else. On another note, I’ve tried this now myself and personally have had no urls being censored. Quite likely OP has just been flagged."

Earth will NEVER EVER look like Venus, given current conditions, no matter how much humans continue to mess up the environment. Humans, and our current course of action will NEVER turn Earth into another Venus. \n\nJust ask an astrophysicists, with a focus in planetary science. \n\nBy you saying bizarre over the top, and unfounded things like this, you're doing a HUGE disservice to the scientific community who is actually and rationally trying to save Earth's current biosphere with facts. \n\n----------------------------------------\n\nBut ya... essentially: \n\nVenus is MANY (MANY) countless miles on average closer to the sun. The amount of solar radiation Venus has been bombarded with, from 4.5 billion years ago to now, is vastly magnitudes beyond anything Earth has ever had to deal with. Not even close. \n\nAll in all: Venus is a completely different, and alien planet, with hugely differing conditions to Earth, not to mention the fact that Venus only rotates once every 116 days, while Earth rotates once every 24 hours! And Earth has a large moon, while Venus does not. And other geological aspects of Venus that may have led to hyper-green-house effects, which Earth will never face at that level due to humans. \n\n----------------------------------------\n\nAgain, NOT the same planet at all... \n\nYou should not so FALSELY be misleading people like this, with your BS tales of \"Earth will become like Venus!\". It will not. I don't understand why you're trying to misuse science like this? \n\n(Actually, technically: sure: Earth will in a few billions of years from now, overheat like Venus, as the sun expands, but that has NOTHING to do with the current and more immediate environmental crisis, and is a result of a dramatically expanding sun--nothing to do with human activity). \n\n----------------------------------------\n\nSo ya, sigh... :( \n\nPeople like you, who misuse and misquote science like this, to suit your agenda... kinda suck! \n\nYou don't need to lie, or trick people with fake science, in order to point out the multitudes of serious environmental crisis that Earth is currently facing, due to human activity.",

One day you’re getting alerts on your phone telling you to evacuate because your town is getting more rain in 3 hours than it usually does in a month.\n\nAnd maybe it won’t be extreme weather. We will see catastrophic ecological collapse in the next 2 decades. Entire swaths of countries that have been breadbaskets for billions will see massive failures. Things that we take for granted in a middle class, first world existence will disappear. Maybe it’s bread one week. Then it’s oranges another. Then it’s milk. Then eventually it will be many things all at once and people who have never had to go to bed hungry will suddenly be confronted with a new, terrifying reality. \n\nIt’s easy to think of climate change as an abstraction.

So yes, more or less.\n\nIt wouldn't ever get to the point of Quennie having to shut it down publicly though, it just wouldn't get there - police wouldn't charge, nobody would even investigate it with the intention of raising a prosecution.

"Oh I have, and you defending pedophiles is cringe mate. You ignore romeo and juliet clauses for it to be legal, how old was Andrew?",
"simple answer is yes money is above the law.",
"But my point is that if that were to happen, then I think she would be prosecuted regardless. Or at least it'd certainly be the end of the monarchy. It's already on thin ice, and certainly will be after she is gone.

"Your argument is circular on the paedo thing, if she was above the age of consent then he isnt a paedo, not my fault, I didnt make the law. I keep proving you wrong and you insist you're not, I guess because then you're paedo claim looks weak. The Romeo and Juliet Clauses apply for people UNDER the age of consent. Once theyve reached it, its acceptable.",
"Prosecuted by whom? All of the people who could prosecute her derive their power to do so from her mandate to govern. She has the mandate, they're part of the system of which she is the head.\n\nThat's why the change in government, whether election or revolution comes before prosecution. Someone else needs to hold power before prosecution can begin.\n\nEdit: and I think a thing that's missing here is an understanding of the government monopoly on violence. Kings and Queens kill people all the time. It's historically well within their accepted powers.",
"> No, not everyone is entitled to use lawyers paid for by the crown to intimidate news agencies.\n\nIntimidate is a loaded word that betrays your bias. She can ask her lawyers to do anything WITHIN THE LAW that she likes, and she IS the Crown, so who else would pay for it?\n\n>I made the original claim nitwit.\n\nFine, I assumed you meant she was using her power to prevent the police investigate.

In some states a 16 year old could also have sex with e.g. a 15 year old, and so could a 17 year old.\n\nThis isn't defending anything he did, it's just pointing out what the law says.

It’s port journalism to bring up a fact and a vacuum to give someone the wrong impression.\n\n> If a cop's body cam \"malfunctions\" during an arrest, and then that cop is arrested, charged, and admits to turning the camera off, that's an irregularity in a specific case, \n\nWell, you would need a cop arrested for that, however if it was well now the cops did that all the time I would not consider that proof that the cop did some thing he doesn’t do all the time.\n\n> Not mentioning it is a lie of omission.\n\nDoesn’t that apply to not mentioning how common irregularities are?\n\nDoesn’t that apply to not mentioning and Epstein was likely facing along and she’ll time poor among other things sexually abusing people under 18, which makes one had a very big target on their back in prison.\n\nAt the end of the day I think the preponderance of evidence Is that he killed himself, and handing out tidbits of information in a vacuum that detract from that doesn’t make sense, unless whether or not he killed himself is the subject of the story.",

So these POLITICAL ramifications are what keeps her “checked” in the American sense.\n\nThis not only applies to criminal actions. It also applies to her prerogative. If the queen exercises her vast powers (that don’t already require the governments approval) without the governments consent, the government will both reverse this decision (if they want) and also pass a law removing this power in the future.\n\nSo the queen can’t really do jack shit on her own (unless the people decide they want her too and elect monarchists in power).

"I have a few points to this:\n\n1) Clough is correct. The removal of Murdoch and Maxwell (who despite many differences in their early lives, rose to become similarly damaging members of society) would have changed British society for the better.\n\nThe Mirror defrauded it's own workers when Maxwell decimated it's pension scheme and was a massive part of the phone hacking scandal, which has gone unrecognised as the majority of that fell on Murdoch's papers.\n\nThe Murdoch's, both Rupert and his children, have gone on to become world forces in destruction of people's lives and the fabric of society, for their own enrichment. \n\n2) Sins of the father are not the sins of the child. Maxwell Snr was a twat, no doubts. But that does not reflect on Ghislaine one bit. She had the same upbringing as her siblings... None of whom, as far we know, went on to become involved in facilitating the sexual abuse of minors. \n\nThe Maxwell family has declared that Ghislaine was set up and is paying for Epstein's crimes and escaping of justice. Well, they have to prove that... And unfortunately for them, at this time, the overwhelming amount of evidence is that this woman used her position and sex as a lure for young women to be abused and raped. Epstein would not have gotten as far he did without a kapo.",

But I think his *ego* could have very easily been appealed to. There's evidence that he liked to low-key brag that he was Mossad.

"Couple of points.\n\nFirst, we haven't really established that they do.\nhttps://www.wikiwand.com/en/Drunk_driving_law_by_country#/Europe\n\nI can't say that I researched too much but I don't see anywhere where it says that people lose licenses forever after one incident of any alcohol in their system.\n\nSecond, laws need to reflect reality of the situation and try to be balanced.

In US in 95 percent of places it would mean exactly that.",
"Last time I fixed something it didn't fail the next day or the next week. The facts are the car is broken and a tech hasn't fixed it. If he'd have fixed it then it would have worked longer than a couple of days. Sounds like a fluke more than anything that it worked for as long as it did after he \"fixed\" it.\n\nI dunno how you can say you're \"certain\" the tech will fix it on the 3rd time. It shouldn't even take 3 attempts to fix something as simple as a door. It should be obvious why the door doesn't open, it's a door for gods sake.",
"The Jeep Commander has this same issue but for different reasons. The door locks and will not unlock. Pulling the handle will no open or unlock the door. The occupants can not exit the vehicle.",
"You are right, age does wear mechanical systems. But manufacturing failures can happen to mechanical systems just as easily as electrical systems. Can't say I've seen door handles fail after 2 weeks, but I've seen mechanical systems on cars fail pretty early on. American cars, especially during the late 90s and early 2000s were really, really bad. Again, that's no defense against Tesla, failure of these types are annoying for sure, and if it were my car I'd be upset. We should have a government agency that collects data on these types of things and holds companies accountable and releases accurate reports. For all we know, this issue is a one off thing, but it could also be systemic.",
"Which has worked pretty well for them, hasn’t it? They revolutionized societies usage of portable music players, personal internet devices, and wireless headphones.

"You’re right, it’s not just Reddit. The anti-billionaire hate is trending across the internet in general. \n\nThey have their fair share of QC issues (they don’t have the luxury of having a 20+ year track record of building these cars and things are changing a lot), but the experience you get owning the car makes those things seem ridiculous in comparison. I was a huge skeptic until owning one and now I can’t help but see that same trend of *hating something for a bunch of reasons that were decided by angry people on the internet* happening all over again.\n\nNo one ever upvotes the “I was expecting a ton of issues but my car is perfect and amazing” posts, but everyone loves to upvote the “wtf Tesla?” posts. Seriously, reserve judgement until you’ve actually used one. It’s like owning an iPhone in a world of Palm Treos.",
"Yeah, I never said anything otherwise. It's also worked pretty well for Tesla. \n\nIt's just unfortunate that these companies seem to make a lot of their design and 'functionality' decisions based on what's marketable/sexy. \n\nIt's concerning for phones because of how much of our lives revolve around them, but it's far more concerning for car companies to start doing this any more than they already are.",

"Don’t give Elon any ideas!",
"No. That's completely beside the point. Tesla has revolutionized the car industry and Apple kickstarted the smartphone industry. That's fantastic, good for them and good for society (not everyone would agree with this).\n\nHowever, they are now making design decisions that are based more around what *looks* like it will be good as opposed to what will actually be functional, or in Tesla's case; safe.",
"Is there more to this story? The only details I remember was that some youtuber got flak for faking tesla documents, but the $22k number itself is real?",

"Lol Definitely went out of my way to make sure those synced up properly.",
"You can do it, if you'd like! I'm not jealous of Karma, haha.",
"More like \"imagine if the angle were completely different, how bad it would be.\"",
"Star Wars if Martin Scorsese had directed it.",
"I'm sorry to hear that but I prioritized flow & pacing. If it's any consolation, 80% of the edits were simply shaving off a few frames here and there until about the 3/4 mark. That's when I had to get creative.\n\nEdit: Also audio editing to make the music as low as possible and the SFX higher.",
"He was in a ship and fired a torpedo. What movie did YOU watch? I'm talking about him standing there being able to blow the whole thing up without anything else obviously as I literally JUST explained how it was done.",
"Yeah, aims his crosshairs at an exhaust vent using the force. Not a major leap in ability. Rey is taking out master swordsmen like they were scarecrows.",
"There's no forgiving Rey not getting stabbed in the back at 1:45.",
".",
"Ugh that scene and movie was so bad. I can’t watch it again.\n\nSuch terrible choreography. Absolute trash",
"In terms of storytelling with the choreography of the lightsabers, Sequels are top tier. \n\nIt's so much more than the prequels \"lightsaber go brr.\"",
"I imagine a lot of songs that are 108 bpm would work well.\n\nI tried Last Christmas by Wham, and Eye of the Tiger by Survivor, and both of them worked okay, Eye of the Tiger was better of course.",
"Damn down voted for having an opinion.",
"*standing ovation*",
"Id take a Star Wars movie from him. As long as we drop Kathleen Kennedy and all of her bullshit first. The damage she has done to Star Wars is pretty horrific.",
"I wonder if the editor was actually using it as a temp track, lol. I wouldn't be surprised. The timing is spot on",
"Now I know where The The got it from:\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lel0PzhU6Pk",
"He also may or may not have gotten his hand cut off in one of those films. I can’t be sure — I just work here.",
"We all know Wham! is best.",
"You’re not supposed to like TLJ around here. You can’t even like a single scene.",
"10,000,000 naysayers will never stop me enjoying this great scene. \n\nI don’t care in the slightest that others don’t get to enjoy it.",
"Well she is pretty new at it.",
"That was Sweet!",
"Agreed. I already thought there were many lovely moments in VIII. But glad you enjoyed something.",
"I don't like the sequel trilogy at all, but didn't she spend her life using hand to hand weapons? Seems like a much smaller leap than Luke barely able to do blind lightsaber training and then being able to use the force to hit a tiny target.",
"That shocked me in the theater. We don't see people shredded on screen in star wars. Typically.",
"It would make sense she could handle herself 1 on 1 with one of these guys but sweep through them like mannequins? Come on. And yeah, Luke using the force to line up a target while the ship and his guidance system does the rest is absolutely well in line with his ability.",
"I mean if anything, all the last order's goons just look inept. Imo they've done a poor job at making any of the enemies legitimate threats.",
"Yeah they were written that way lol. That's the complaint about these movies - bad writing."
