>They're used rarely these days

If you don't order different drinks, sure.

>Which is why they don't have to indicate "sprite" or "orange" because you can see the color through the lids.

The paper (cardboard?) lids aren't translucent.


Firefox works for me, Chrome does not.


Yeah I tested with Firefox.


Interestingly, the 7900 currently costs more than the 7900x

7900 comes with a (supposedly decent) fan, 7900X does not.


I would bet that the 7900X chips are binned for higher quality Silicon though. Makes you wonder if an underpowered 7900X outperforms a 7900 and by how much.


> The cuts are usually slightly off from where I'd ideally like them to be, I think because LosslessCut can only cut on i-frames[3], but it's a totally fair tradeoff for my use case.

There is an experimental "smart cut" mode where it re-encodes the video between your cut and the next keyframe. It will of course not be entirely lossless though

That's a very expensive HDD. Amazon got the 4 TB WD Blue for $65


I've been averaging about $19 per 4tb SAS drive on ebay (refurbs), though sata tends to cost a little more being the more common format.

I've had great luck with surplus HGST drives, they tend to be more reliable than Seagate.


That's very dependent on Amazon actually shipping you the drive, which between my recent experience and tales from a few friends in the industry, is much more of a coin toss these days.


i don't know why, but there is something oddly soothing about (nearly) all the text being in lowercase


This is how I write in chat, but not in emails or comments or readmes or more "permanent" things.


me too. this must have been studied linguistically somewhere? when i'm in lowercase mode i'll actually even go back and delete an accidental uppercase letter! so it's not just about laziness. maybe it has something to do with formality register? like how it can even be inappropriate to use a too formal register with a close friend, imagine if you suddenly called your spouse _mister_ or _misses_ smith!


Totally! I especially wish Titles With Every Word Capitalised would die


Ten times cheaper


Oh, yes. I've always felt a bit uneasy when I see the logo [0] for "Defqon.1 Primal Energy"

Yeh, for me, it's the eye strain from my eyes trying to "focus" on an image that's already focussed (and impossible to resolve the way my brain thinks it should be). This is similar to the Buscemi-with-four-eyes picture[1] - it tricks your eyes into continually changing focal distance in an attempt bring the picture into focus. It is physically straining your eye muscles.

Speaking of festivals, the Boom Festival logo has it too.

But others letters are made the same way, a bit like the font in the article. So, less creepy, I guess.


Oh, now I know why I hate that ladder E: your sight tells you it's an E, but it has a bit more up, so it analyses it, and it's still an E, and the process repeats until your sight tells you that can't possibly be an E anymore.

It has the same vibe than this novelty facemask, if you wore several of them: http://www.naijanetwork.com/uploads/imageupload/997/FLM4TP8P...


Yeah, what?

I looked at the top 5 subreddits in the table, where it looks like a single person is controlling them. They have 145 distinct mods.

Controlling reddit? lol
