“Titles”? It’s not a title, it’s a file name that contains a lot of details about the rip. In the post’s example it tells you that it’s the movie Split, ripped from blu ray, in 1080p, with audio tracks in Italian and English, and encoded in x265. You probably would hate a lot more not being able to tell the difference between split.mp4 recorded on my cellphone in the movie theater and split.mp4 in ultra hd 4k ripped straight from Netflix.
Lol, okay. Calm down buddy. What I do doesn’t affect you. The torrent description let’s me know all that too, I just hate having those file names in my library, looks messy and it’s less easy for my eyes to browse quickly.
I mean I never told you not to rename them lmfao. You just said “I can’t stand the titles on torrents” like people just made these really long filenames for shits and giggles. Also lots of torrent sites will feature several different kinds of rips. It’s not very convenient on the back end to have all rips of the same movie have the same file name.
Also “calm down”? Idk I thought I gave a pretty chill explanation of why things are the way they are but sorry if it didn’t come across that way.
These days, it feels like one needs a disclaimer for every opinion or fact just to avoid setting someone off. I feel like it discourages open conversation…
Good old Cluley, he also has an award winning podcast, Smashin’ Security. It’s a light hearted take on recent security events. Its usually 30 - 45 minutes long.
It’s like when I hear “Back in the days there was no cancer and no mental disorders”. Like yeah, people just died randomly and behaved weird and were called possessed and stuff
Not the point of the graphic at all, but this is the second time recently I saw the spelling “Turkiye” and was wondering the context behind that change, wondering if it was anything like the change in the spelling of Kyiv (which has now been so engrained in my head that I had to go look up the Russian spelling “Kiev”).
I looked it up and it appears Türkiye has been their own spelling for over 100 years, and they just petitioned the UN to update the spelling of the country’s name in 2021.
Cool, so Türkiye it is! (Plus my phone automatically adds the umlaut, so that’s handy!)
Also in Türkiye they don’t own cats, the cats own them.
Yeah, the asked the international community not to call them after a water fowl big chicken anymore and use their native name for the country instead. Officially it always was “Republic of Türkiye” and not Turkey anyways.
The reason for its change was the names association with the animal, the gov didn’t like it. But like nobody from turkey actually cares, it’s just a formal thing. Funny thing: we call India Hindistan (which means land of the turkey).
Erdogan changed it because he is a nationalist and took offense to the name of his country being compared to the bird. So now the country is on a PR campaign to get the international community on board with Türkiye, which is supposedly a more accurate phonetic rendering of the country’s name (if your language has the same phonetics as Turkish).
Personally, while I do think it’s a bit silly for countries to try to mandate what they are called in other languages (e.g. you don’t see Germany getting upset that not a single one of their neighbors save Austria calls them “Deutschland”), I know Turkey is not the first to do so and I generally respect attempts to “reclaim” identities (such as changing Kiev to Kyiv for Ukraine). But I think the umlaut is where I draw the line.
When I heard them announce Turkey during the opening ceremony of the Olympics, it sounded more like “Turkia” to me, so I don’t know why we don’t just use that, since my mind keeps reading Türkiye as “Toork-yay”.
Plus when I type Türkiye, my phone’s keyboard still auto-suggests the 🦃 emoji anyways so I’d say it was a lost battle from the start.
For the rest of my life… I’m going to use the emoji in place of the name of the country. Which lets be honest, even if I live another 60 years will only be like two times maybe.
Robert Maddox is the living saint of Fucking Around Til You Figure It Out. He’s a mad man. He claims one of his influences is Wile E. Coyote. He’s had one of his carts up to 90. I am always just in awe of the guy
“Good game, but the company behind it is shit and required me to sign this contract. <Insert contract clause>. Remember this whenever your reading the totally honest reviews about how good the game is.”
When they reach the aspects of the game that they didn’t like they can just say “let’s skip this next part about CTF mode, because I signed a contract” and let the viewers deduce what they deduce.
Any one instrested should read The Olive Grove: A Palestinian Story by Deborah Rohan. The book follows 3 generations around ww2 of a single family that goes through hell by the zionist of the time.
As a rock climber, Alex is equal parts amazing and an absolute fucking fool. I’ve fallen while bouldering, it hurts. I’ve slipped and fell when top roping, it hurts. Now, when the day comes where he has his fuck up, it won’t hurt; he’ll just go splat.
In his situation, the risk extremely outweighs the reward.
I think you’re overthinking it. The first thing you’re told when you learn algebra is that a letter represents a number and you can say “let a equal (number), b equal (number)…” so you can let pi equal whatever you want for the purposes of one simple problem.
Except pi isn’t a variable. It is a known value that we refer to as pi for convenience, and pi is a fundamental aspect of how a circle is. Saying “let pi equal 5” is all fine and well but is physically impossible, you will not be determining the volume of a cylinder if you let pi equal 5, because the ratio of a circle does not equal 5, it equals 3.14
But I suppose part of solving a maths problem is staying within the confines of the question and listening to instructions, so if someone says “using pi equals 5”, I’d just use pi equals five and take my point with grace.
Well, if we want to be pedantic, they never said that h is the height and r is the radius of the base circle. They could be just random numbers.
Also, since we never calculate with all the digits of pi, it is not any less weird to round to the nearest 5 and say that it’s 5, than to the nearest 0.01 and saying it’s 3.14. It just has a higher amount of rounding error.
I think it’s actually a very interesting question. Pi does not equal 5 in our universe, but perhaps we can think of a meaningful universe where it does? Perhaps some mathematicians/physicists can chime in?
