I can perfectly hear your post.

This was the inevitable result even years ago. When self-driving cars were the hot topic and several companies were doing their own thing, that's when it should have been obvious it was never going to happen. It's not a problem any one independent company was ever going to solve, especially quickly. For to work it would have to be an open source, global standard with several companies working together.

I mean you'd have to build out a massive amount of infrastructure to further support it. All vehicles would have to have a module in it that would communicate with everything else around it, regardless if it was self-driving or not. There can't be a premium model, or a subscription, ect., it would need to just be there and work.

The overall task to get this done was never going to be quick, easy, or cheap. This was always going to be bigger than any one single company and a handful of engineers. It's going to take the effort of many companies and governments all working selflessly.

People who park the wrong way in the parking lot and then dive the wrong way. I'm talking about were the lanes aren't wide, so they're all angled. There even arrows painted at the entrance of each lane. But there always some dipshit that pulls through, or did the dumbest maneuver you've seen to back into it. And then they glare at people in their way who are going the right way...

Going to the grocery store has just infuriated me with a sheer number of entitled terrible drivers. Every last one of them should be sent back to driver's ed.

Came to say this. X is a terrible name. It's a placeholder for so many things. Elon is so obsessed with a letter, it's wildly stupid.

Yep! With apples new patent pending upgrade process, it's super easy!

You take the device that you want to upgrade and you throw it in the garbage and then you go to an Apple store and you pick up the upgraded model! It's so streamlined!

Or has ups and downs.

I always wanted kids. So it's a constant source of regret and emptyness.

On the other hand, life is cheaper. I can do what I want when I want. I'm not wrapped in worrying about my kids all the time.

Is there context? Like is there someone in particular this is about? Or just in general?

Oh please tell me Totoro was second! That it ended on a high note!

These are not feel good movies at all but I think really send important messages. Not for kids, but at 16+ would be good. There's very important takeaway messages in both.

I'll do you one better, why is Frankie Hawkes.

 

This might not be the best place for this question but I honestly can't think of another place, but if you know of one please let me know. But I figured someone here might have the experience I'm looking for.

I own the discs for various Star Trek series and everything Stargate. What I'm trying to do is use handbrake to encode them to put them on Plex. But everything I try, it just looks worse. Is there a repository of like recommended settings for various media?
