I'm quite a glass-completely-empty person thanks to, you know, [points to everything],
but this is one small positive to come in recent years to my city, Manchester, and this expansion is good news too. I hope it continues to improve lives.
So old that it wasn't a video at all, it was a Macromedia Flash Animation!
Video hosting sites didn't really start to exist until Stage8 had a go with their DivX stuff, and eventually YouTube popped up a few years later too :-D
I don't think the American History Channel is the high quality historic source we should be citing here.
That thing seems to be all aliens and bigfoots these days. I wouldn't believe anything they try to teach me haha.
Feck knows what they're smoking at that production company.
Is "silly coded" a real thing people are saying, or is it just a thing you say? And what does it mean exactly?
I'm just trying to keep abreast of unusual new phrases when I stumble upon them :-D
Most of these design decisions look like they were made to make the game incredibly bland and safe for a 5 year old to play.
Are you an outlaw or are you a big cuddly bear?
Who is this made for?
This is fucking sick, I love it.
I bet the spinning is noisy as hell haha, imagine if we made these really quiet so we could put them in a glass container and use them for neat stuff!
Maybe we could pull a partial vacuum in the container like we did with CRTs to help minimise air resistance noise inside, hmm....
How is this invading someone's privacy? All it's doing is detecting if children are smoking in a room or space at school and then putting an alert up about the detection on a screen.
They have zero right to privately smoke at school, or anywhere for that matter, smoking is illegal for children and not something to be taken lightly.
Similarly, adults have no right to privately smoke whilst in the workplace in the bathroom or other non-smoking designated areas. This is also illegal and not to be taken lightly.
You should never listen to music at high volume on headphones or earphones, you WILL damage your hearing over time (or sometimes in one sitting, both happened to me).
You can tell young people this until the cows come home but they'll ignore you and assume it won't happen to them...
and then once the damage accumulates and they're a little older with annoying tinnitus forever or more painful ear damage (like myself) they might finally start giving this advice out to younger people who still have a chance at a healthy, ear damage free life. But by then it's too late for themselves, and the younger people won't listen :-(
There are awesome earplugs you can get that you should wear if you're somewhere loud like a nightclub or a concert by the way. They start very cheap, and they're designed to "turn down the volume" of the world without affecting how it actually sounds.
(They're not electronic or anything, they're just cleverly made)
You can get more expensive ones that claim to be even better at this, but I find the cheap ones to be fantastic. I carry them with me all the time now, and if I end up somewhere loud, in they go. Heck, I even use them when I vacuum - those machines are loud as hell.
Oh and similarly, wear earplugs when you're using noisy powertools - table saw, grinder, etc.
