NFL has first legal 12-men-on-field play in league history
  • Save you a click: they were a human ball tee, holding it during a kickoff, then leaving the field. Big deal.

  • Who ever thought it sounded good this way? I think it's because headphones weren't widely used back then.
  • Yeah, some were pretty crazy.

    Is mostly because stereo sound being widely available was novel and new. I have several albums that are literally just made to let people show off the stereo aspect of their new hi-fi.

    And there are some old mixes that are fairly extreme by today's standards but sound like a very real soundstage - the drums are over there, the vocals over here, etc.

    But then some took it too far with the control hard pans and then relying on the hard pan to fix bad levels (like that the drums are too loud)

    But even today, it's not unusual to have some instruments entirely (or very nearly) in one side of the other. Just not the primary instruments carrying the harmony and melody.

  • The NeverEnding Story 40th Anniversary 4K Blu-ray
    1. I'm sorry your parents never took you to art museums

    It'll probably more like plaster. 4k isn't always better. There are some low-budget effects things that aren't improved.

    I bet even comparing your old VHS that awoke your youth compared to the 2k Blu-ray, the new copy would be a lot less 'interesting' to look at.

    I just hope the 4k is transferred well but also doesn't let us see every seam in the costume and flake in the makeup

  • Nudity? You mean the fiberglass/plaster statues?

  • YouTube Music can transfer playlists to Apple Music too
  • Rhapsody back in the day beat that. You could use All Music Guide info to build amazing custom playlists. Custom options like "Music featuring electric guitar with no vocals made between 1950-1957 with a tempo between 90-120" and it would shoot out a whole playlist

  • Pretty much just kerosene. So not the best, but not horrible. It just uses LOX and RP-1 (highly refined kerosene) for fuel.

  • So given the median savings in the USA is about $8000, it would feel like $25 does to most of us.

  • She's worth $28 billion. Unfortunately she will miss $100 million like the rest of us would miss $50.

  • I just mapped my surroundings.
  • Nice. Looks cozy

  • Destin at Smarter Every Day and Steven Mould seem like solid guys, and content similar to Tom Scott if you haven't seen them.

  • Are you excited about the upcoming Pixel 9, or have you given up on Google hardware?
  • It's pretty easy to strip most of it off. It's definitely an adjustment, but I got used to it (the remaining things I couldn't change) pretty quickly

  • Are you excited about the upcoming Pixel 9, or have you given up on Google hardware?
  • I held on to mine for so long, but after they stopped getting updates, I bailed since the S22 wasn't massively larger.

  • Are you excited about the upcoming Pixel 9, or have you given up on Google hardware?
  • It's 5.75" tall, so no. It's as big as I want to go. I'd love something a bit smaller to be sure

  • Are you excited about the upcoming Pixel 9, or have you given up on Google hardware?
  • You can still lock down privacy stuff to a fair degree. I'm keeping an eye on it

  • Galaxy S22 with Nova launcher getting rid of the Samsung UI and making it note pixel-like.

  • Are you excited about the upcoming Pixel 9, or have you given up on Google hardware?
  • Pixel phones have been too big for me for a while. They won't fit in my pockets comfortably and I don't want to have to stretch to reach the top of the screen. Come out with something 5.75" tall or less and I'll re-engage.

  • NASA Is ‘Evaluating All Options’ to Get the Boeing Starliner Crew Home
  • "lack of experience in the area..."

    Boeing dwarfs SpaceX in experience building spacecraft.

    Mercury and Gemini spacecraft were both built by the McDonnell Corp. That company merged with the Douglas Aircraft company (which built the 3rd stage of the Saturn V rocket) becoming McDonnell Douglas in 1967, which merged into Boeing in 1997. Boeing itself co-manufactured the space shuttle orbiters with Rockwell.

    On paper and judging from experience and history, if you were going to pick a single company to build a spacecraft, it would be them. Not some brand new company run by a space-obsessed software engineer.

    Clearly Boeing has huge cultural issues and has for a while.

    Just saying if you wanted to go off experience alone, they're the best there is.

  • NASA Is ‘Evaluating All Options’ to Get the Boeing Starliner Crew Home
  • That is a notable change from "we're just double checking things on the Starliner, which we think we can fix. We expect them to ride it home soon" that has been the message for a long time. Now it's "we're looking at all options".

  • The U.S. just expanded its territory by one million square kilometers
    www.earth.com The U.S. just expanded its territory by one million square kilometers

    The U.S. has officially expanded its geographical territory by one million square kilometers -- an area nearly 60 percent the size of Alaska.

    The U.S. just expanded its territory by one million square kilometers

    The expansion is based on internationally established definitions of the continental shelf, and comes from research and surveys conducted by various groups going back to 2003, confirming where the continental shelf actually is.

    Interestingly, this doesn't include the water column above this territory, so it doesn't mean control of fishing or shipping lanes. Only seabed/underground mineral/drilling/pipelines control. Depending on policy and which political party is in control at the time, this could mean preventing others from drilling these areas, or (more likely?) making a profit off allowing drilling here.

    Most of the addition is in the Arctic, but includes territory around the whole country.

    Is there a way to filter specific keywords for Lemmy?

    Either in a client (I've been using Jeroba) or in my Lemmy profile. I'd love to be able to block words I don't want to see stuff about... Like trying to avoid spoilers for movies, or just wanting to avoid mentions of certain people, but without blocking entire communities.
