  • By technical standards were 3D TVs impressive, Why didn't they catch on back then?

    Jump

  • The media (Blu-ray, dvd, whatever..) didn't matter so much. Adding depth fields to existing media works, but it isn't exactly perfect. The tech should be much better now, but it took a fuck ton of manual labor to convert films to be compatible with 3D. Back when 3D TVs were being pushed, studios had to film movies in 3D as well, which took more time and more equipment.

    Here is an old pic I took during the conversion of Titanic into 3D since it wasn't filmed in 3D from the start. Each frame needed to have depth fields mapped, by hand, in a room filled with jr level staff. This work was split across multiple studios.

  • Humans suddenly gain the ability to selectively delete their memories. How do you use this ability? (if at all) How do you think society would change?

    Jump

  • Booze.

    I have huge chunks of memories missing and that ain't exactly a bad thing for my older, and sober, self. (Sometimes I still get flashbacks of blurry memories and it is very anxiety inducing. Booze memories are weird and were written to some corrupt cells or something that only pop back up under strange conditions.)

  • Punctuation can change context and/or grammar, but I'll meet you in the middle on that one. I'll also just keep telling myself that it was an intentional mistake by the editors to trigger real grammar nazis.

  • Help changing text and images in POS software

    Jump

  • Do a look-through of that XML folder as well. Images could be base64 encoded in those XML files. I remember several instances where XML was used as a template "language" for old style GUIs. (When XML and HTML diverged, a lot of that kind of thing was happening.)

  • There are some kind of instructions in this video that go through a logo change process. I don't know if this helps, but I tried: https://youtu.be/QrobPTgu7C0

    Also, does it use some kind of database? The images seem like they would be small enough to jam into a blob and just store alongside regular inventory information. If there is a database, it's probably third-party. If it's third-party, I would see if it had its own installer packaged inside of the application installer itself. (A third party database would likely be outside of the main app folder.)

    Just dumping random thoughts.

  • YouTube Is Working With Nintendo To Make Its App Available On Switch 2

    Jump

  • That'll be interesting when Nintendo just turns around and sues YouTube for allowing videos of emulators on its platform or for every time a creator even mentions the name Nintendo in an unapproved context.

    Jump

  • I agree with the comments on this forum (https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/mushrooming-22-lr-case-heritage-rough-rider.891807/) that the cylinder could have a machining defect. (Basically a headspace issue, also but kinda not. The cartridges are sitting too deep in the cylinder itself.)

    If there is room for the brass to get pushed back far enough for it to mushroom out, something is seriously wrong. The issue could manifest from a machining error as small as 5-10 thou, I am speculating.

    My first thought was excessive chamber pressure, but the bulging would be much worse around and behind the rim itself if that were the case.

    The bullet and the brass get pushed in opposite directions and if the brass can move, it will move before it deforms. If it deforms, it'll deform at the weakest spot first, like we see in your pic. (Excessive chamber pressure tends to expand the brass and lock it in place. With center-fire, it'll blow the primers out or have a hole punched in them from the firing pin first. With rim fire, the pressure pushes back on the rim.)

    Also, check for excessive slop with the cylinder. If it can move forwards and backwards too much, that could also telling of issues with other parts of the gun. (Like I mentioned before, it doesn't take much for a gun to be out of spec enough to cause issues with brass.)

  • You have an ability that undos the past 24 hours and shifts the world into to a better timeline, but it can fail 50% of the time resulting in an even worse timeline; How do you use this ability?

    Jump

  • How will you know you are in the best timeline? If you hit the jackpot and timeline is already perfect, there is no way to know. Any other coin flips will always produce sub-par results after that. (Unless multiple chances at perfection are possible, that is.)

  • Cabrule management

    Jump

  • I gave this some thought and I still can't decide what is the best option.

    From one perspective, not binding the bundle to the spine follows a clean horizontal/vertical layout and isn't tightly bound to the movement of the spine. This may be "shortest path" and save on cable cost. However, there could be conditions that would stretch the cable if it were only tied to the neck and hips.

    If the bundle was tied closely to the spine, the cable would be stretched less when the spine moves, but it would be moving and bending more. Cable cost could be a bit more as the total path is longer.

    Installing something similar to a cable chain on the spine to let the bundle float (while still being contained) is probably a decent meet-in-the-middle solution between the above two options.

    (In hindsight, me giving this any serious thought was bizarre.)

  • How did Luke Skywalker learn to communicate with Astromech droids? How did he learn the language whilst living on Tatooine?

  • If a country needs to employ state-sponsored patriotism, it's usually because there's nothing to be proud of about the country.

    Jump

  • (The correctly used double negative was confusing for me at first, btw.)

    You make a very interesting point I haven't ever thought about before.

    While I have always considered myself a patriot to a mild degree, I never associated it with tribalism directly. Even with the many faults of all countries, it's OK to be proud of where you are from. (It does make perfect sense that tribalism is the end goal of state sponsored patriotism though.)

    In my mind, the fine line after patriotism was usually nationalism where tribalism runs deep and hate-based rhetoric becomes extremely effective. The definition of a patriot is somewhat twisted at that point. (ie: unless you believe [insert something random], you aren't actually a patriot and therefore an enemy of the state.)

    I am not agreeing or disagreeing with you, btw. Your perspective is something interesting to think about, s'all. (I am leaning on the agreement side, FWIW.)

    (For the people reading this that may not realize that I am using the word "nationalism" in a negative context, I am. If that chaps your hide still, replace it with 'christian nationalism' or 'white nationalism' and fuck off. Everyone else, sorry for the disclaimer.)
