You know most of the US is rural, yeah?

Daaamn haha. Fair enough.

I don’t disagree with you, but there’s no way you have thousands of hours in Qbert. Even hundreds is impressive.

They were just pointing out the benefits of in office work for the industry (compared with benefits of remote no less), and you came out swinging, your example dripping with opinion and hostility.
It was entirely unnecessary and rude.

You get used to it. Been here happily for coming on two years. Honestly, less content means I can’t scroll 24/7 which has turned into a positive for me.
Fewer niche communities definitely sucks though. Time to start one I guess? :P

I don’t know about iPhone, but I’ve notice a cool trick that my Android uses is jumping the video ahead of time to where it will need to be to sync the audio, so while you may skip around a few frames initially, you do receive immediate visual feedback, rather than seeing a frozen frame while waiting for the audio delay.

Your video player “can” account for latency if you configure it correctly which I imagine the majority of people don’t do.
Windows and Android do this automatically out of the box, don’t know about other platforms.
Ditto with your music playback always lagging 1-2 seconds behind your control inputs.
Since music isn’t an interactive medium, this doesn’t really matter
It also matters for music production, and makes life a lot more pleasant for audio/video editing
Well of course, if you’re doing that A) you’re probably not on a phone if you take it seriously and B) this is not an application for wireless audio solutions so…uh…duh? 😅
- Comment on The Circle of iLife 4 weeks ago:
Unless you’re using them for gaming or some other interactive medium, latency doesn’t really matter though. For music, latency is irrelevant and for video, your device will take care of syncing the audio and video playback so it’s a non issue. Audio quality is an entirely different matter of course.

- Comment on As a US citizen who was born in the UK, how risky is it to leave and reenter the US right now? 5 weeks ago:
which every nation in the world recognizes
Well, this is flat out not true at all 😅
There are ~30-35 that recognize some degree of birthright citizenship under certain circumstances, but very few countries have unconditional birthright citizenship, particularly outside of the Americas.

Eh, it’s more that it’s just not in the culture. Most people would just decline it rather than be offended.
- Comment on Anon is chasing an old high 1 month ago:
This has been language learning for me. Learning new words and expressions every day gives me that high. Stumbling through a conversation in a language I’m uncomfortable with is so scary and daunting, but when you actually have a meaningful conversation where both parties get something out of it, it’s an incredible feeling.

I just woke up from a weird ass dream where, for some reason, I was invited to the White House to meet Trump.
It was not a good dream.

They’re always connected via cell service, though.
That said, I’m pretty sure the antenna is stored in the right-side mirror, so if something were to happen, like that mirror becoming suddenly disconnected from the body of the car, it might disrupt that connection.

The Ionic 5n kinda slaps, tho…

Bleh. That sucks. Sounds like a lot of the old communities I used to enjoy have probably fizzled out :(
- Comment on Which game is it? 2 months ago:
I used to play yeaaaars ago doing custom scripting work and what not as a teenager to make extra money. I got on recently and it just seemed dead. Maybe I just forgot how to navigate, but I literally felt like I couldn’t find people to even interact with.

Wow. And I thought I was bad with my 5k in cs…

Well, now that Discord is going public, we can probably just call it Discord.

Haha, nice. Sorry, I meant no offence, was just further explaining the weirdness of French numbers (I love that kind of shit in languages)
- Comment on Least extreme biophysics phd 2 months ago:
Nah, I’m pretty sure that’s the dude that used crispr on some babies years ago in an attempt to make them immune to HIV or something.
- Comment on Fucking hell 2 months ago:
Not quite. They just have remnants of an old base 20 system that kicks in for specific numbers.

I hate the process of debugging, but good god, once you’ve spent 5 hours tracking down the dumbest shit and gotten it to work, it’s better than an orgasm.
