3D movies of the past were filmed fixed stereoscopic; not sure why they’re referring to 3D films as “faked”.

Whatever the case, 3D films in VR are a real experience, much better than 3D in the real world.

Avatar: The Last Airbender, not to be confused with Avatar (blue aliens), or The Last Airbender (unproduced movie) or Avatar: The Last Aibender (live action, 2024).

A:TLA in internet lingo

Legit some Christians think Heaven will be Heaven because they will be enjoying watching the eternal torment of the sinners below.

Ditto for church attendance leading to longevity, but only because unhealthy people can’t make it in.

That said, I think the research on leading e a life with purpose and social connections as having better outcomes is fairly robust. Plenty of seniors kill themselves within a few years of retirement.

My first burn targetted 4x and got to about 3.3 on average, I think. Failed. My second burn I realized one episode didn’t copy over for some reason, so I aborted. The third attempt was the lowest available speed–3x. I was using xfburn on Linux.

I was looking at M-DISCS, which you’re questioning the provenance of on Amazon, and they’re pretty pricey… you’re adding to the reasons to move to a media server–easily backed up to less-permanent HDDs, but easier to have multiple copies constantly updating.

I’m not in any rush; I just set the lowest setting and take the dog for a walk. Now that I figured it out, that is.

Congratulations on a very dull table! I’m glad you kept it.

Oops. I see we have many professors of dvdology here; I was referring to this fellow:

This is the original and brilliant animated TV show from Nickelodeon.

I only know about the movie from hilarious YouTube take downs. I’ve seen an army of earth benders perform a parade drill to throw a single rock like a thousand times.

Because I mostly watch TV through thrifted DVDs (and rarely blu-ray). What I don’t have the money for, I get through other means. A Blu-ray burner is pretty expensive, when I looked into it, and so are blanks, so DVDs it is.

Long term plan is to build a media server with a Raspberry Pie; might give me better survivability with magentic backups. I hear DVD quality has gone down hill.

I inherited an electric typewriter, IBM Selectric 2, which was the only thing that could keep up with my Apple ][-trained typing speed… but what I remember most is how dang loud they were.

I guess it depends on what concepts you are willing to let go of. If you think Jews have some kind of holy right to land occupied by other people, yes, things are goig to be complicated because you also want to protect your ability to think of yourself as a good person, and that precludes you from supporting ethnic cleansing and genocide

If, on the other hand, you see Israel as a settler-colonial project no morally different than the Dutch in South Africa or the British in North America or the Spanish is South America or the Belgians in the Congo, it becomes a much easier ethical calculus.

There are plenty of Jews who view Israel as the latter, and the fact an identity “makes things complicated,” points to self-interested decision. Just like being white makes the concept of removing barriers to employment by black people “complicated”, or being a man might make supporting female rape victims “complicated.” The fact that a choice might not benefit a group you identify with is not an argument in favor.

And, yeah, nobody should listen to “as a mischling jew.” That’s 1/4th Jewish.

Is one of them Herschel Shmoikel Pinchas Yerucham Krustofsky?

No, I get it, the problem the way we’ve chosen to build society, but now that it is the way it is, judges and juries are reluctant to ban someone from working and buying groceries for anything less than a prison sentence…

Like it’s pretty crazy to me that the State (USA) can seize you car if you transport drugs with it, but not if yoU literally run over a human being. People with multiple violations and triple-suspended licenses still get to keep their cars.

Operationally? The ones the New York Times pretends to support the aims of while burying you in an avalanche of imaginary horrible consequences and insisting on some delay (more research, popular consensus) before actually doing anything that would change the status quo.

What’s worse is that WAY too many people have no option BUT to drive

That’s exactly why it’s treated as a right. Can’t drive?Can’t live.

Condemning settler colonialism is pretty simple. Maybe you’re overthinking it?

Nobody cares who you married, and I’m saying this as a mischling jew.

Most people only know about Puerto Rican day from the episode of Seinfeld that aired exactly once before being pulled for desecrating the island’s flag.

I’m a simple man. If I see a custom ROM, I flash.

Grab a knife and start whittling / building a pallisade to protect the dock.

I’m right handed and can’t read my writing.

Maybe a typewriter? Preferably in need of repair.

More reason to work on your balance. You can buy (or better–build) rocker and wobble boards with varying levels of instability (stay safe!) to make washing the dishes more interesting.
