Comment Here's the missing info (Score 4, Interesting) 52

The media format is 16mm film. Here's the irony. Unlike U.S. television shows, BBC was an early adopter of video tape. (Recall that video tape was invented really late, available in 1956; everything before then had to be either live or telecined from film live.) But when shipping shows to far-flung international destinations, BBC "transferred" the video tape to film by filming a TV! That's what was found in the collector's cardboard box. That BBC used video tape is what allowed them to erase said video tapes.

Comment Re:Just a few facts about the Leaf from me, an own (Score 1) 131

I love how the actual post by an actual owner with actual facts gets downvoted. People these days. I totally agree with your review. Bought a 2011 with super limited range, then upgraded to a 2017 that was eligible for a warranty replacement battery. Having 150 miles of range makes it an amazing car. Instead of throwing it away, you might check out VIVNE (https://www.vivnevs.com/) as they make affordable Leaf batteries from cells out of China. If you buy their pack, it would be a drop in replacement for your 2016 and extend your range to 200+ miles depending on which capacity you bought.

Comment Reddit is not social media (Score 2) 54

Reddit is not social media; it's a message board. Nothing so similar to 1980s UseNet can be considered social media, which debuted in the mid-2000s with MySpace (though the term "social media" wasn't even coined until the launch of the second such example, which was Facebook).

The difference between Reddit and social media? The latter puts profile and pictures at the core, whereas they are incidental in the former -- both used only to support the primary purpose which is text-based discussion.
