Of course. That's why live performances by people who can actually sing are generally way better than auto-tuned studio recordings. It's also why things like microtonality are played with in a lot of music.

We had a single POTS line for our alarm system that AT&T went from charging us $40/mo to over $1400/mo in a matter of two years until we convinced our alarm company to switch the alarm system to cellular. Crazy.

Yeah, that was a kinda dumb statement by OP. They were objectively good movies. Not perfect, but none ever are. They just got beat by better movies or ones that the voters in the academy liked more. Who cares who wins the awards? I enjoy the spectacle for its entertainment value. And, frankly, if Killers of the Flower Moon hadn't been nominated, I probably never would've watched it because I'm not a Scorsese fan, and then I would not know about the Osage or their history. Same with Rustin...probably never would've watched it, but it was very good and the lead actor was great.

Like it or not, nominations generally happen for above average films with above average acting, directing, etc. Of course, every now and then they'll thrown in a Top Gun - Maverick, which had no business being nominated even if it was entertaining. It was schlock and although I quite enjoyed it, it was 99% due to nostalgia.

OnlyFans was bad enough and damn near ruined Reddit with spam. This⦠will seal the deal. Goodbye and good riddance.

Mine just turned 2 - premature, but dodged NICU by a matter of hours. Also missed my birthday (and my mother-in-law's) by one day!

You can say whatever you want. You just can't do it on my property. It's really that simple.

How does the concept of "common carrier" even enter into the conversation? These are all things that are happening entirely within the private property of the platform owners.

Sounds like Moon to me. The 2009 film stars Sam Rockwell and has a similar story line at least as far as I can tell from the article.

Youâ(TM)re not wrong. Iâ(TM)ve purchased a total of two Vizio TVs over the years. The first was an E601i-A3 60â 1080p LED TV for $999 over ten years ago. That TV still hangs on my living room wall and used for movies, TV shows, and sports. Still has stunning colors but is starting to show its age in the current era of âoeletâ(TM)s see how dark we can make this movieâ and has banding issues when higher res dark scenes are downsampled to 1080p. Still, I quite love that TV. The smart apps all but stopped working long ago but a Roku hooked up to it is just fine.

The second one is a more recent purchase. Itâ(TM)s a 32â Google smart cast TV we got a year or two ago for fairly cheap to put in our basement with an elliptical machine so we could pass the time better while exercising. That TV is hot garbage. I have since replaced it with a 4K TCL with Roku built in that is a great little TV.

No, no, no. Donâ(TM)t delete. Edit to gibberish. GNAA posts, time cube rants, broken english with lots of apeelling errors, incorrectly conjugation, verb mismatch plurals, popcorn new hairstyle.

I lost a lot of weight after reading "The Hackers Diet" He was a real help to me.

It has been an open secret in the cryptography community that Hal Finney was the designer of BitCoin from the very start. Hal died in 2014. Or at least he was frozen in liquid nitrogen so not talking either way.

Besides being the first person to be involved in BTC who didn't hide behind a pseudonym, Hal published a paper that describes essentially the whole BitCoin scheme two years before BTC was launched. And Hal never once accused Satoshi of stealing his work.

The reason Hal had to hide behind Satoshi is simple: The Harber Stornetta patent didn't expire until about 9 months after BTC launched. That covers the notion of the hash chain. There is absolutely no way anyone working in the field did not know about that patent or its imminent expiry. Hal certainly did because I discussed it with him before BTC was launched.

So the big question is why BTC was launched when it was, why not wait 9 months to have free and clear title? Well, Hal got his terminal ALS diagnosis a few weeks prior: He was a man in a hurry.

Having launched prematurely, Hal had to wait six years after the original expiry of the patent term to avoid a lawsuit over the rights to BTC from Surety. He died before that happened.

Oh and I have absolutely no doubt Hal mined the genesis blocks straight into the bit bucket. The key fingerprint is probably the hash of some English language phrase.

The real inventor of BitCoin wrote a paper describing the architecture two years earlier under his own name, Hal Finney. He got a terminal diagnosis of ALS a few months before he launched the BitCoin service, the pseudonym being necessary at the time because of the Haber-Stornetta patent on the BlockChain.

No, Hal, did not keep the coins. He invented BitCoin because he was a crank with weird ideas about inflation, not to get rich. Mining the coins and keeping them would have been a betrayal of his principles.

The proof of this is given by the fact that Hal did not in fact get rich from BTC despite being the ''second' person to join the project. Nor did Hal ever complain that Satoshi took the credit for what was very clearly his work. If Hal had been just another person coming along, there would have been every reason to keep the cash.

And we do in fact know Hal ran mining servers from the start and that he ended up in serious financial trouble due to his ALS. The freezing his head thing came from donations.

Craig Wright does seem to be the last of the three early advocates alive but that doesn't make him Satoshi. Wright has never shown the slightest sign of being the sort of person who builds such a thing and in any case, Hal's name is on the much earlier paper.

In context "freedom" means a broad selection of information sources that validate my preconceived beliefs and shelter me from unwelcome contradiction by experts.

Skin color plays a larger role than âoeproof of a political or ideological motiveâ in how any given attack is described, at least in the US.
