You can’t cheat sound placement

If you want the T-rex to roar to the back left of you and then run around and roar to the very right of you. You need two speakers placed exactly in those spots.

With just a sound bar under the TV the roar is always going to be in front of you

Does a sound bar ruin the Jurassic Park movie? Of course not.

But 7.1 gives you front middle, front left, front right, middle left, middle right, back right, and back left.

12.1 goes a step further with ceiling speakers for each speaker creating more atmosphere

If you want good full sound then a sound bar is fine. And most people would be really happy with that.

But if you want directional surround sound you have to place speakers in locations where the noise needs to come from. No other way around that.

Highly recommend going to see it in person. Pictures can’t do it justice.

It’s like the grand canyon. You can look at pictures but being there to actually see the scale is a different experience.

It’s honestly mind blowing

I have been on this planet for a while and I have only seen the night sky like the last picture driving through Texas in the middle of nowhere.

Power going out in a city isn’t enough to stop the light population from surrounding areas. It would have to be the only city around for miles and it would have to be a full power loss.

I would say most people have never came close to seeing an uncountable amount of stars in the sky.

I live in a medium sized city that is 30 minutes from a large city. I can count like a dozen stars in the sky. If we lose power the sky doesn’t magically change to look like it was in Texas. Honestly, I don’t remember it changing at all.

The idea was as she got older he wouldn’t date younger than her current age. Weird and creepy but not the weird and creepy way you think.

“In 3 years when you’re 20 I won’t be dating an 18-year-old.”

This was in 2006

Trump married Melenia in 2005

So imagine saying this after being married to your wife for a year.

Here’s another quote of him saying he has no age limit only to back track and then “weaved” to bring up another senator’s folly to divert attention on what he almost just let get confirmed.

Things got a little weird after co-host Robin Quivers asked Trump if he had “an age limit.”

Trump fumbled a bit at the response.

“If I— No, no, I have no age— I mean, I have an age li—” Trump said, while Quivers asked him “the upper bracket” of his limit.

You don’t trust the guy that made a promise to his 17 year old daughter that he’d never date younger than her?

And not only make that promise but went on Howard Stern and openly told the world about it?

It’s bizarre. Like just that one comment is enough to make me not want to stand up for the guy.

As someone with long hair and a long beard I haven’t been carded in basically 10+ years.

Last weekend I got carded buying a beer with my parents-in-laws. Of course one of the very few times I didn’t have my ID.

Two 65+ people order a beer and then like, oh we’ll get your beer on our tab to make things easier. Bartender “I’ll need to see his ID”

We all couldn’t believe it. I wasn’t upset or anything, it was just kind of absurd feeling. I’ve been drinking for almost 20 years.

It’s one of those situations where common sense should be allowed to be used.

I get that

I wouldn’t buy diamonds or gold hoping they increase in price just as much as I wouldn’t buy bitcoin to do the same.

If you offered me 1USD in Gold, Diamond, or Bitcoin.

I would take the gold. It has the most intrinsic value.

The probably that gold hits 0USD is less than bitcoin hitting 0USD.

The only reason you’d take bitcoin is if you think that it has a higher ceiling. Intrinsic value is the floor. But that is gambling

But if that was all we used it for, the price of gold would be a tine fraction of what it is

That’s intrinsic value.

Gold and diamonds have intrinsic value

Gold is needed for computer parts, and diamonds are used for cutting

They are more than just shiny

Their value will “never” hit 0 (Bitcoin would be worthless without gold for computers)

Yes, we could find substitutes in the future, but for the substances to not be useful somehow is so low and would have to be an apocalyptic scenario. And in an apocalypse, gold could even be worth more.

Rapeseed (Brassica napus subsp. napus), also known as rape and oilseed rape and canola, is a bright-yellow flowering member of the family Brassicaceae (mustard or cabbage family), cultivated mainly for its oil-rich seed, which naturally contains appreciable amounts of mildly toxic erucic acid.[2] The term “canola” denotes a group of rapeseed cultivars that were bred to have very low levels of erucic acid and which are especially prized for use as human and animal food. Rapeseed is the third-largest source of vegetable oil and the second-largest source of protein meal in the world.[3][4]

Brassica napus subsp. napus is the proper name. Everything else is slang and not worth arguing about.

We call it Sunflower Oil

We call it Rapeseed Oil

Not Rape Seed Oil

Rapeseed

Would be similar to other plant names like Daisy, Rose, Iris, Poppy, Lily, Holly, Petunia

Her father built a recording studio for her to fuel her passion for music.

Armpit is where your arm attaches to your torso.

Behind your elbow is a different pit

Yes that’s a physical asset.

Silo full of grain is known as a future or a commodity. I might not have the Silo or the grain physically in my possession, but my note says that I own it.

BTC is a commodity and commodities are very similar to stocks

BTC just isn’t backed by anything

A corporation is an entity

It has assets and profit tied to it. The “share” is a share of that.

Is a share worth it is debatable. But the share is a physical piece of the corporation

Same can be said about traditional stock markets. The prices are entirely fictional there, too.

Not true at all.

Microsoft has 7.4B stocks outstanding.

Microsoft has a valve as a company.

Owning 1 stock gets you 1/7.4Bth of the physical company.

If Microsoft goes bankrupt or dissolves you could get some value out of your share.

There are 19.9M BTCs

BTCs have no intrinsic value

Owning 1 BTC gets you 1 BTC

If BTC goes under you get nothing

The stock market does have artificially inflated/deflated prices but they are roughly based on a company’s value. The stock is backed by the company.

NA beers, ie “NA Budweiser”, doesnt mean “north american budweiser”, but “non-alcoholic budweiser”.

Smart switches are so nice

Going to bed? One touch of a widget on my phone’s home screen and all my house lights go off.

Front porch lights need to be on a timer? Smart switches do that

I recommend Kasa brand. Look for refurbished ones and you can get them under $10 a piece.

Easily worth ~$8 dollars per switch if you’re doing it new.

I think worth ~$12 if you’re willing to replace yourself

You can make money on the stock market when it goes down

Walmart spent millions on rfid trying to do this. Howevera cart full of razor blades would always not read something so they gave up.

My point was Walmart, Sam’s parent company, spent millions and carried it out in their other store. I don’t know if it’s rfid, but I’m sure their research in it overlapped with the way they implemented it in Sam’s.
