You’ve got some courage standing in the middle of the street with no visibility like that. A car can just appear out of the blue and run you over. Glad it didn’t!
Though, if it was as quiet as it looks then you could reasonably expect to hear a fast car long before it got near, so perhaps it’s not as dangerous as it looks.
Your message might be correct (maybe) but the way you wrote it could not be wronger.
For starters, it’s not an unusual problem at all: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loneliness_epidemic?wprov=sfla1
Secondly, your whole comment is really aggressive, from “Um, excuse me?” to “you should work on it asap” it’s all just attacks as if it’s as simple as that.
I never actually had to deal with Bluetooth issues on Linux so take this with a grain of salt.
BT audio devices generally support multiple different encodings, for example aptX, but they can always fall back to the most basic and most horrible codec that is universally supported on any BT host device. Sounds like that’s what’s happening. So you might want to look into why your PC isn’t using the better options.
I got a (very cheap) Thinkpad from my university. It had that proprietary Ethernet port. It came with a ThinkPad-branded USB to Ethernet adapter. The adapter came with the laptop and still didn’t use the proprietary port!
Now, there is a chance that the university IT which set stuff up before giving it to me, is responsible for disappearing the proprietary adapter. But because the USB adapter is branded with ThinkPad, I really think it’s just what it came with.
Out of curiosity, what do you recommend instead?
That’s great. That’s not the world we live in.
That’s nonsense.
That’s why patents are relatively short. A patent grants exclusivity for the inventors, which incentives people and companies to invent in the first place. But it’s limited in time so that the whole world benefits eventually. Everything that was invented over 20 years ago is now public domain. This includes a ton of safety mechanisms, some in cars, that never would have been invented if there wasn’t a financial incentive for it.
I don’t like this all that much from a moral standpoint, but this is a good compromise for the world we live in. To say it would have been better if it didn’t exist it all is just plain wrong.
Same video on Nebula: https://nebula.tv/videos/practical-engineering-the-hidden-engineering-of-runways/ (16m36s, presumably because it skips a sponsored segment)
I’m actually surprised he doesn’t look to Nebula from the blog post version of the video.
Its name is “poo” twice. Fitting.
Any job to do with food. Restaurant, bar, cafe, pizzeria, whatever. I just feel utterly incompetent there.
And it’s not just cooking, even being a cashier or delivery guy is impossible for me. I can’t put it into words, but I am just incapable of doing it.
Are you sure nothing moved? Perhaps they saw a twitch that was enough to confirm for them?
I can easily cause this reflex to myself.
Sorry, I don’t feel like slipping into a huge argument. Most of what you said, I don’t feel is relevant criticism for the video, it basically amounts to “he didn’t say the things that I wanted him to say to confirm my opinions”.
But I don’t want to spend hours dealing with your gish gallop so you win.
You rock. Thanks for being a voice of reason. I like to think that someone out there will read this conversation and see that you’re the only one being reasonable, so it’s not in vain. I definitely couldn’t keep a cool head in this comment chain like you did.
Can you be more specific?
He doesn’t tend to at all, ever mention anything like right or wrong, morals, stuff like that. He talks about geopolitics, negotiation power, what states and militaries are capable or doing or what they’re likely to do. I can’t recall him ever saying any opinion about who’s morally right or wrong. So I don’t see how what you said could possibly be, but if it did, please share a link and a timestamp.
Worth sharing: William Spaniel on YouTube is a political scientist, has written books about this kind of stuff, and REALLY knows what he’s talking about. He discusses world events like this, and breaks them down really well so it’s approachable and understandable for a clueless layman like myself. His videos are short and to the point, and can be listened to like a podcast instead of watched.
He mostly talks about wars, how and why they start, what is likely or unlikely to happen, things like that.
His latest video from yesterday about exactly how America’s Greenland ideas would backfire: https://youtu.be/mQGMGnhC-NA
If you’re talking about the illegal settlements in the west bank, you’re damn right they should stop. It’s been a point of contention within Israel since it began, and I think it should be stopped, and should never have started to begin with.
If you’re talking about the entire country of Israel, kindly fuck off. This is an old nuanced and complex issue, your reductionism of is only making it impossible to talk about it realistically. No, the entire Jewish population of Israel is not going to just leave the only country they’ve ever lived in.
I do believe it is possible, in the far future, for us to coexist peacefully here. Sadly everything seems to be going in the opposite direction.
The way you write and the way your friend speaks, I’m having trouble picturing this scenario.
If it was me I would DEFINITELY go to a doctor or emergency room, better safe than sorry. There’s a chance it’s nothing, but there’s a chance it’s a huge freaking problem. You can’t tell by yourself. Doctors and nurses know exactly what to do in these situations. Go to them.
But I’m in a country where an emergency room visit is very cheap or free, I know that’s a factor for you and it really sucks.
Maybe the necessary codecs just aren’t installed in Debian by default? Mint and Ubuntu are targeted at laptops for general use, so it makes sense they’d bundle all Bluetooth codecs in a default installation to be ready for most users. But Debian makes fewer assumptions like that, and is often used for servers, so perhaps they didn’t want to bloat it with codecs that many installations will never need.
I’m just guessing here, but that makes sense to me.
