Posted by DonJon Hey, welcome to the club! :D Back to topic -- I love physics/maths topics, even though honestly a lot of the complex concepts still go over my head. I was actually quite excited when I heard the redefinition of the kilogram was officially ratified. I'm kind of weird that way :P I still have no idea what I'm talking about. |

I can confirm it happens regardless of ODD emulator I used (Win10 native, WinCDEmu) and player (MPC-HC). After mucking around on the interwebz I found this excerpt from a thread on reddit:Is libdvdcss legal? The use and distribution of the libdvdcss library is controversial in a few countries such as the United States because of a law called the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act). If you are unsure about the legality of using and distributing this library in your country, please consult your lawyer. I think that ISO wasn't unscrambled at all. Knowing that, it would make sense that it would only work on VLC. I still have no idea what I'm talking about. |

Personally, I find turkey overrated. I find it's too big, too much hassle to prepare, and doesn't really taste that much better (or at all). We kind of celebrate Thanksgiving, but we only roast chicken instead. I still have no idea what I'm talking about. |

Posted by Screwtape As an immigrant myself, I can understand how some arguments can reinforce the anti-immigration sentiment; however I do think that being proactive and finding solutions work far better than being closed and uncooperative. Just a minor example, driving day to day I encounter drivers (that are visibly immigrant) who do not seem to have a firm grasp of traffic rules and etiquette. They either are unfamiliar of the proper rules or are continuing the driving habits they've learned from their origin countries. This can cause a lot of frustration especially when you expect certain behavior on the road. I myself find this doubly frustrating since I put in effort to make sure I learn the ins and outs and be a proper driver, and here are others that just put that to waste. I feel partly this is due to the lack of education that should immediately be provided to immigrants when they settle. Sometimes I feel the immigration system merely attends to administrative matters, as opposed to ensuring immigrants are properly taken care of and equipped to become contributing members of society -- seems like what happens is they bag, tag, and release people without checking if these people are truly ready to live in the new environment. On the part of the immigrants though, they should also take the initiative to make sure they get as much knowledge as they can as soon as they arrive, and make it their responsibility to follow all the rules and familiarize themselves with the basic conduct and how to carry themselves in their host country. Anyways, this mostly just me rambling so please bear with me if I don't make too much sense. Posted by wareya "Can you see any borders from here?

Posted by funkyass Yeah, a friend who originally worked in Shaw told me Shaw was doubling their speeds on new and existing accounts today. I'm on 75Mbps, so it should go up to 150Mbps once I restart my gateway. I'd still have to check that when I get home though. I still have no idea what I'm talking about. |

Posted by Kakashi I remember already getting that level of service when I was working in Japan back in 2007. And it was only around $38 at the time. How much are you paying nowadays? I still have no idea what I'm talking about. |

Posted by CaptainJistuce That hurts you know? :D At work we get around 300/100, still nowhere near your numbers though. Posted by Kakashi Wow, it's still crazy cheap there... wish I could get that speed at that price here... <sigh> first-world problems I still have no idea what I'm talking about. |

There is nothing wrong with your device. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur, or sharpen it to crystal clarity. Sit quietly, and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your device. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to... The BBoard I still have no idea what I'm talking about. |

Posted by CaptainJistuce No, tell me it's not so! D: It should be noted though that if government sees that there is significant public support of green initiatives they will be compelled to take action, lest they risk losing the next election. In other news: It seems to be that Pro-bending is actually becoming a thing. :O I still have no idea what I'm talking about. |

Anyone seen Dororo yet? It's a remake of the original by Ozamu Tezuka, and just started very recently. I was vaguely familiar with the original so I decided to pick it up, and even after just seeing the opening I was hyped. The opening music was so awesome, I'm itching to find the full single once it's out. I still have no idea what I'm talking about. |

Posted by CaptainJistuce Biikoosu Zjapaniisu desu :D Seriously, it does look like an interesting series. I've been watching more school slice-of-life titles since that's what my wife likes to watch. :P Posted by creaothceann Yeah, it was an absolute cheese-fest, and there's a bit of a twist at the tail end, but entire thing is short enough to binge so you can just let the spyce flow. I still have no idea what I'm talking about. |

Posted by CaptainJistuce I would have never known Dancouga if not for Super Robot Wars 4 Posted by CaptainJistuce I was always of the understanding that in giant robot anime, the titular robot almost always requires a significant cost in time and resources to develop and maintain, so the world can only ever afford one (sometimes two) at a time. Also, I've realized why the baddies always target the goodies first once they become aware of their existence -- they know that once the good guys are defeated, there is nothing to prevent them from taking over ZA WARUDO!!! *insert maniacal laugh here* :D I still have no idea what I'm talking about. |
