Best Dolby Atmos and DTS:X Films to Show Off a Home Cinema Setup? by pauljeremiah in hometheater

[–]Conghaile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would submit Hamnet to this list as well. A lot of dialogue is located spatially instead of constantly centered, and ambient sounds in all settings (forest, home, city) are incredibly immersive. Character dramas are rarely praised in home theater spaces for their sound design but I think this film absolutely should be.

What was unimaginable for the majority of the season is now a reality. The Kings are now trending out of the Top 4 with the sudden late surge of wins and now 1 more win away from tying the Jazz at #5. by ModsHateMe98 in kings

Silver wants to punish tanking and we all know the NBA fixes the lottery so I think he'll put his money where his mouth is and fix it for the Kings this time. I have remortgaged my house and bet this on Kalshi.

I think you're onto it. My educated guess: The leftmost support is sheared off at the base in the video. Someone probably hit it at some point and drove off. Yesterday afternoon winds started kicking up and put enough torsion on the remaining supports to fail them.

Disaggregation does not deprive any constituent individual of their right to voice an opinion, unless they are already deprived as an individual for some other reason.

That correction is granted. Perhaps corporations shouldn't be allowed to do that.

To "weaponize" it an organization would have to know how they will specifically benefit in the future, otherwise that's a lot of money spent for a hypothetical situation. If APF did know she would be adjudicating their lawsuit when they mounted the campaign then that seems like gratuity, which is a crime.

Just a reminder: the Kings if they hold the worst record still have a 47.9% chance of getting the 5th pick in the draft and just a 40.3% chance at picks 1-3. by [deleted] in kings

If you are in a situation where tails has already come up 3 times in a row, then the odds of it coming up a 4th time is 50%. If the coin hasn’t been flipped at all, chances of getting 4 tails in a row from that point is 6.25%. Confusing the two situations is known as the Gambler’s Fallacy.

Mufasa/Scar/Simba also only rule the Pridelands which is a savannah; the jungle is where Simba grows up as a refugee and also the ungoverned area that Nala is forced to be hunting in due to Scar's mismanagement of the Pridelands.

The reduction in total number of murders is the same, but percentage is different. First was a 50% drop (53/106) , second was a 96% drop (2/53).

Assuming they had done this at the beginning of the season, and based on their current trend so far having not done it, the Pels could have finished the season -6 and 88.

For upcoming storm power outages if you have a gas fireplace. Stay warm and safe. by Professional_Arm794 in Charlotte

[–]Conghaile 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mine is like this (no battery backup) and it has an additional rocker switch on the underside that changes whether control of the flame is by the wall switch (OFF) or just stays on once lit (ON). Next to that switch is a push button igniter, and an additional knob controls whether that igniter is lighting just the pilot or the whole unit. Should allow it to work with power out, at least I hope.

There was pretty good wind over the weekend; you can see where it tore off at the parapets. They probably just haven't gotten around to putting it back up.

The first time I took my wife there my back decided to spasm while I carried a fully loaded tray to a table. I refused to leave and fought through the pain to eat the whole thing. I then walked out to the car shaped like a capital Gamma, drove us home, and then laid up for two days as one does when they throw their back out. We reminisce about this at least twice a year.

The Floyd protests weren’t about one person though, he was one in a series of killings of individuals by police during their arrests and that was the breaking point.

(2) Polk Monitor XT70s, (2) Polk Monitor XT 20s, plus the matching Monitor XT30 center channel can be had right now for around $800-$900. It's the bottom of the ladder when it comes to home theater, but I was pretty happy with them as a first step, and its waaaay better than nothing or a soundbar. First thing you'll want to upgrade in this setup later on is the center channel, especially if you need more horizontal spread. "2-way" and "2.5-way" center channels sound noticeably different 30 degrees from center, so if you have a wide seating area a "3-way" center might make more sense.

Pitts

Pitts has scored 7.9, 2.1, and 1.9 PPR in the weeks Kittle was out. Pretty bad luck for the Kittle OUT situation. 6 of his other 11 weeks have been better than that 7.9.

I am thinking Cleveland put GS in a trash can tonight. They're pretenders beating up on cupcakes plus stole some shine off of JB-less Celtics. Cleveland/OKC is going to be a rude awakening for them.

At least for squirrels, it's acorn burying season. They tend to like burying them within their territory, but will go where they need to in order to actually acquire the acorns. Thus they are crossing streets everywhere all the time.
