And the sad part is that, somehow, DVD remains probably the most reliable home video format.

Part of what screwed Blu-ray take-up was just how terrible they were to play on a computer because of how complex the copy protection was, that it made it practically impossible.

The DVD (1996) is now as old as the original 8-inch floppy disk (1967) was when the DVD came out.

Short version because people aren't reading the blog

- "dislikes", essentially just a "not interested" button, private, doesn't effect anyone but yourself

- "Social proximity", puts people you know at the top of comments

- "Reply context", shows people full thread before they reply

With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they don’t wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.

one of the most annoying things about youtube is non-optional auto-translation of everything on a page to your selected language and defaulting auto-dubbing to "on". It's practically a low-key insistence that no other languages exist. anyway I tried this extension to stop that bs n it seems to work

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast'

10/10 response, no notes

Image of the mechanical ladder outside the Louvre

Text below says WENN'S MAL WIEDER SCHNELL GEHEN MUSS (When you need to move fast)

Underneath is more German text which translates as "The Böcker Agilo transports your treasures weighing up to 400kg at 42m/min - quiet as a whisper."

Been turning ‘Talericoed’ into a past tense verb in normal conversation for awhile, and it should be pretty self-explanatory, but to make a definition:

talerico
(verb)

1. To falsely insert yourself into an event for mythmaking.

| he talericos that he was MVP of his High School football team.

Accurate; this is the greatest endorsement of all time.

The stuff from @bossfightbooks.com are fantastic by the way; they're exactly the sort of thing I would have written if I were still writing.

Still the greatest endorsement of all time

Sleep is a biological necessity, and sleep deprivation has real physical, psychological, and social consequences that need to be taken seriously. The way our society treats it as slothful to sleep according to natural rhythms (including midday naps and variant chronotypes like night owls) is evil.

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."
