I just went through this learning curve with my new Sony Bravia 8 II.

I also auditioned the LG G5.

I calibrated both of them. It is not that much effort after some research on avsforum.com. I think this task would be fairly trivial for the hackernews crowd.

Perhaps they don’t have either.

This is great, love that you’re giving your old MP3s a new life.

For the album artwork, be sure to check if there’s already a cassette j card or … minidisc album art that’s closer to the right dimensions.

Yes, it’s an even larger format than traditional 70mm. The cells are physically larger. Anecdote: Nolan worked with Kodak to invent black & white IMAX film for Oppenheimer.

Um actually…

Chris Nolan doesn’t shoot digital. His more recent pictures (Interstellar included) are shot on a mixture of 35mm, 70mm and IMAX 70mm (!)

*American Psycho. Dude in Psycho didn’t use a business card.

I learned this over the holidays. My 25 y/o (millennial?) fluent English speaking sister-in-law started a movie on Netflix on the TV with English subtitles on. It wasn’t an accident.

Right, sure, that’s all true. Now consider that many people can’t read the document.

I guess your analogy still checks out. Neither Old nor New Testament are written in English. And thus English-speakers rely on translations.

The MTA is run by New York State, and therefore at the whim of Albany cronyism [1]. This is why it’s so dysfunctional. I wouldn’t necessarily blame the transit unions.

Edit: also, there’s a history of multiple private subway companies in NYC, it didn’t work out.

My favorite part of this post is this gem of a comment:

So British and heartwarming!

Can anyone recommend a Goodreads alternative?

More Perfect, a podcast by one of the hosts of Radiolab, has an episode on this in song form: https://project.wnyc.org/themostperfectalbum/#amendment-27

Side note: This podcast is excellent. The first two seasons are not songs, but investigative (and entertaining!) pieces on important Supreme Court rulings.

100% this. I could go on forever about how unsustainable private cars are, especially in urban areas, but instead I'll drop some positive news:

The 14th St busway in NYC is real: https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2019/10/03/live-from-the-busway-...

It's a start!

Is there any data related Parks injuries/deaths that includes nationality? If not, this thread is all anecdote.
