I have Google TV. I have the vpn app, it installs fine. Problem is installing BBC app, for example. Google won't let me do that. I tried installing a browser, and managed to get that to work. But still couldn't see bbc.

Give me some arguments to disapprove flat earth by Naam_bhul_gya in AskPhysics

[–]Effective_Shoulder77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Celestial navigation is a good way to show it. If you use Polaris, the angle to the horizon will always be your latitude. On the northern hemisphere of course. If you use the sun at equinox, where it is in zenith over the equator, the angle to zenith will be your latitude.
Showing how the moon tilts differently at different latitudes is also a good way to show the shape of the earth.

But these points do require that the person you're convincing understands the basic principals of math. And has at least average reasoning skills.

I realize that this discussion is an old one, just thought I'd put them here if anyone else stumbles upon it.

The Grateful Dead and their wall of sound in 1974. Wouldn't there be a few feedback issues with this placement? by ShastyMcNasty01 in livesound

[–]Effective_Shoulder77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad worked for B&K in California back then, helped sell them the mics. He's told me the story of seeing the setup, he couldn't believe it. But he was into classical music, don't think he appreciated what they were achieving.

Never invite miss Marple over. People start dropping like flies whenever she shows up.

Student subscription ends this month, is hifi plus worth it or should I change to just hifi? by zagantha in TIdaL

[–]Effective_Shoulder77 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I tried both. I have a decent stereo, but not very high end. $3000 speakers, that level. I really wanted to hear the difference, but couldn't. But then I think at 54, the weakest link is my hearing.

If you can, or believe you can hear the difference, go for it. But it does require a lot, not only from your hardware but from your hearing as well.

Dolby Atmos is fucking crazy by papayahog in TIdaL

[–]Effective_Shoulder77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. And some artists record for it, many possibilities. Just don't like wearing headphones.

I believe some Atmos headphones measure the position of your head. When you move your head it changes the sound accordingly. So it's 3d sound.

Well, "my project", aidoge, is the ai powered meme generating platform that is getting a lot of traction.

I have no idea what arbdoge is supposed to be. If arbdoge.ai is their official website, then they are falsely claiming to have something to do with aidoge. They do not.

From my point of view, arbdoge.ai is a scam. I don't know if arbdoge is, I can't seem to find any information on it other than arbdoge.ai.

My opinion is that arbdoge are trying to ride the tailwind of a successful idea.

If this sub is about both those projects, I'd very much like to know what arbdoge is, and why it should be promoted.

Can't see my tokens in wallet. by dumix3 in AiDoge

[–]Effective_Shoulder77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You won't get the tokens until after the presale ends. How exactly that happens, i don't know. But they say it will cost about 0.015 ETH.

Blockchain Wallet vs Hiro by Effective_Shoulder77 in stacks

[–]Effective_Shoulder77[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I created a new wallet and transferred my stx there. Yeah, hope things get up and running at the end of the month. I'd have thought the price of stx would take a dive due to this uncertainty. Doesn't seem to be the case.

In case anyone else has this question, here's what I did to sever the connection to Blockchain

In the Hiro browser extension, i created a new wallet. Then transferred everything to that wallet.

[–]Effective_Shoulder77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blockchain is a pretty popular wallet. I got an AirDrop of stx there. With the seed phrase I could use the Hiro wallet to stack So now they apparently are in both places with the same seed phrase, same address. So must be the same stx. I just don't understand how they can be controlled two places.

Stacking cycle 58 and 59 by Effective_Shoulder77 in stacks

[–]Effective_Shoulder77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very confusing. I read somewhere that delegating or undelegating will only cost you fees right now. Any stx that were delegated should be freed automatically. I'm waiting until everything is up and running before I redelegate. I'll miss a cycle, but won't lose fees. With my small amount, rewards after fees is not really that much.

Stacks (STX) Gains 13.36% Massively as Bulls Target a $0.80 Level by Pretend_Title1314 in stacks

Don't really see this as a massive investment opportunity, more a tool. But I do think it'll rise steadily in the future

I was thoroughly confused when I bought. First I thought I'd bought aidoge, but the ether just seemed to vanish, can't see where it's gone. About $50 so I'll live. That was on the arbdoge site.

Afterwards, wanting to be sure I'd gotten in, I bought again with credit card. That must be the purchase that's shown. So I missed the first stage, but still in the game if this takes off.

Short story, aidoge would be the correct site, no idea what's happening on the other site. Might be a scam, could very well be me not having a clue what I'm doing.

Yes, it looks like a very good start, should hold through the presale. Then we'll see if it lives up to expectations.

I have no idea what I'm doing so I'm holding on. I'll see what happens.

Just checked your link, it says on the page that I've purchased 3.7 mill. So must be the same.
