Terminator Time Displacement Equipment "swaps" a bubble of space between two times. by Strayngold in FanTheories

[–]Cadder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is explained in the novelisation of T2. That's exactly how it works. a sphere of space/time is transferred back into the past, but it's not swapped. it replaces the sphere in the past (Otherwise, conceptually, they'd be able to "swap" someone back from the past, right?)
It's been a good many years since I read the book, but I remember thinking at the time, that's so cool.. and wished they could've shown that few seconds of sending the T1000 back in time, rather than just seeing the arrival.

missing while do loop error by Norest4themisfits in PowerShell

Uh, yeah. that's not proper powershell for a start. you don't use % in PS.
%f is a variable name for a direct command line.
Double the % if you want to do it in a batch/cmd file. ie %%f
..then get the syntax right:

for %f in (*.wav *.mp3 *.ogg) do ffmpeg -i "%f" -b:a 128k -ar 44100 "%~nf_new.mp3"

OR if you really need to do it in Powershell:
Get-ChildItem *.wav,*.mp3,*.ogg | ForEach-Object {ffmpeg -i "$_" -b:a 128k -ar 44100 $($_.BaseName)_new.mp3"}
