  • What are the easiest types of internet videos to make that are not slop?

    Jump

  • This is really only if you make commentary style of videos. Which is a huge part of what YouTube is now but still not the only thing on there. There's skits, there's not a lot of it, but still people's films, there's just something interesting that happened and you had the presence of mind to film it, there's animation, I think there's a degree of citizen journalism on there too though I've ot really seen a lot of that. That would be maybe commentary adjacent but still slightly different than just a person and a topic.

    That said you could do all of those solo, with varying degrees of difficulty.

  • Should I unplug my smart tv from the internet?

    Jump

  • I seem to have misunderstood the point to their comment. They're lending support to the idea that you should unplug it from the internet whereas I initially thought they were saying that even if "unplugged" from the internet, OP's current setup wouldn't save their privacy anyway because the TV will send those screenshots to the internet whether it's by via the TV's own apps, or "through" the HDMI cable which in my mind implied either getting internet connectivity through that cable or at least sending the images to the laptop and having that send them. I couldn't see how that was supposed to work.

    I realise now that's not their point at all, they're saying that if it's allowed to remain connected to the internet, simply abstaining from using the TV's own apps and using persistently a connected device via HDMI instead, it'll still send screenshots of that HDMI output through its own internet connection and so yes, indeed OP should disconnect the TV from the internet.

  • I don't see how they could, the laptop isn't going to know what to do with them, they'd have to also get you to install something on the laptop which you'd obviously not do.

  • Does anyone say "What ho!" anymore?

  • Have you by any chance just stepped out of a Cryo chamber some mad Edwardian scientist made for you?

  • I don't know why, but I just assumed UK for this. I have no evidence at all, it's just a specific kind of gross, and manner of speech, (especially calling people who complain about the smoke idiots) that I can just only hear as Chav.

  • This is eminently slurpable. The clue is in the name, it makes the sound because you're not pressing your lips against the rim of the cup in the same way as a sip. You're more sucking in air towards you over the cup and it happens to lap up a few little waves of coffee that are thoroughly cooled on their way to your mouth.

  • What's that book or story you vaguely remember reading but forgot the title of and can't find it anywhere anymore?

    Jump

  • Those all sound good. Sorry that doesn't help at all, but hey I'm rooting for you.

  • Could it be Bootleg?

    I wanted to read more plot details to see how closely it matched your description but all the synopsis are a bit vague. I saw the TV show as a kid. Apparently there was a manga and an anime made from it as well. In this one they're more specifically focussed upon chocolate than all confectionery generally but it sounds like that may have featured too.

  • Could one legally get a hold of those bank bill dye security dye packs, dye your own legally obtained cash with it, and spend it places? Just to make people suspect you're secretly a bank robber.

    Jump

  • If that's the case, wouldn't the bank be liable for destroying money when they place those anti theft dye packs on money and then get robbed?

  • Is it normal feeling tired 2 days in a row, possibly 3, after catching a cold?

    Jump

  • That's absolutely normal and expected. The illness is taking a toll on your body and it needs all it's resources to fight it. Don't take this as advice not to see a doctor if you were already going to because if you personally feel like something is wrong and out of the ordinary for you, then it's better that you decide to go to a doctor even if you're told that it is indeed normal for a cold because who knows if it's not something worse or if "normal" for you is different. But in general, yes, for colds and most illnesses tiredness is very much to be expected, even to a pretty extreme degree.

  • nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymore

    Jump

  • Ok, I'm seeing this a lot and I get it, and despite my lack of expertise in the field I can sympathize with the sentiment. Perhaps those replies are answering more in the spirit of the post than the letter.

    It's just that the title asked if no one knew what this 'graceful degradation' concept was anymore and the text used the example specifically that the page should be exactly the same with or without JavaScript switched on which, without trying to be facetious, sounded kind of logically impossible.

  • nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymore

    Jump

  • I don't know anything about web development but, is it really fair to say it should work exactly the same with JavaScript turned off? If that were achievable why would it be there in the first place? I assume the graceful degradation concept is supposed to be that as you strip away more and more layers of additional functionality, the core functions remain or at least some kind of explanation is given to the user why things don't work.

  • how do i stop being so obsessed with a fictional character?

    Jump

  • Yeh it was a joke I definitely wouldn't recommend that ANYWHERE! It's just that the original advice to which I was responding, while actually probably quite sound, had this funny kind of old man "you kids should get outside" kind of feel to it that I was riffing off and taking to extreme for fun. I hoped the "get your hair cut" part of it would make that a bit more obvious like a grumpy dad in the 60s telling the longhairs to get off their lawn. I probably didn't do enough to make this obvious and now it's coming across as sincere. Woops.

  • Get your haircut while you're at it, and do some national service!

  • Pineapple is a common ingredient in burgers in Australia and while a classic Aussie burger doesn't include pickles to go along with that, given pickles are still a common burger ingredient as well, it wouldn't be totally outside the bounds of plausibility for someone to request or put pickles in there along with the pineapple. They're ok together. I wouldn't say it's the best idea but it's not a total bust. I'm surprised it's not a delicious combo which I thought they would be when I tried that once, figured there'd be lots of textural contrast and even more of the salty and sweet and tangy combo that the additional of the pineapple was supposed to bring on its own but alas something about them doesn't play all that nice together.

  • Where will it stop ?

    Jump

  • I'm fairly sure I tried pickles on pizza and didn't like it, or maybe I just concluded I wouldn't because I didn't think hot pickles would be nice. But that pizza looks damn good.

  • Ice cream trucks still around?

  • I thought it was kinda mandatory for ice cream trucks to play Greensleeves.

  • Still got them here in Australia. They've always been a rarity and somehow they're always somewhere else where you can't see them yet they sound close by but they seem about as common now as my childhood in the 90s.
