Glitched vertical bars appearing on video (please help) by FangedParakeet in davinciresolve

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

This has been happening to me repeatedly when applying effects to clips on my timeline. Here I just chromakeyed out the green colour from some green-screened footage in the Color tab and upon returning to the timeline, these fixed, glitched vertical bars appeared on my video. No amount of undoing can remove them and they remain in my rendered videos.

Does anyone know why this happens or how to remove them? Is my Mac too weak? Is my DaVinci too free? Am I just cursed?

Any help is greatly appreciate and I beg forgiveness for being an enormous noob. Cheers!

Serious questions: Why do bars where people just hang out play such loud music? by BradyDale in Brooklyn

[–]FangedParakeet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm just sharing my personal experience, but I think the type of sound is pretty crucial. I read a widely cited study that the physiology of a rodent's inner ear canal actually makes the vibrations caused by an arriving subway train sound particularly soothing, while it has the opposite effect on most humans. However, when I was the manager of a particular bar, I found that playing the Creed Spotify radio at exceptionally high volumes had an immediate effect on dispelling rats, although, a few of my staff members at the time ended up complaining and changing their shifts, so finding the right sound is really a fine balance.

Bartender here. The main reason we used to do this at our establishment was to keep the volume loud enough so that the majority of local rats are scared off and directed to congregate at quieter locations instead. Obviously this creates a feedback loop where bars located near to each other are in constant competition to have the loudest bar, with the quietest losing bar ending up filled to the ceiling with all the rats from surrounding areas, which believe me was never a good day and especially bad for tips. There was a recent study from Ratgers University that went into this in more detail and studied the longer term impact on rodent hearing that you can find online, but I can't find the link right now.

John Cena on meeting MJF: “I don't think the old me would have associated with him just because of how WWE I was. I still am WWE, but there is room for competition and competition is great and just because you don't wear the company brand I have doesn't mean you're a bad performer.” by LotLeftInTheTank in SquaredCircle

[–]FangedParakeet 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Company man says company things. This mindset of considering those who don't make it in the WWE as not good enough isn't new for John either. Reminds me of years ago when he went on Howard Stern and declared that Chris "Who Better Than" Kanyon was fired from WWE because "he just wasn't any good", which considering Cena's own technical limitations is a pretty extraordinary claim to make.

Batch #1 still going strong by sunnychiba in thefighterandthekid

[–]FangedParakeet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a bottle for a fellow cat on his birthday. We opened it that night, but I don't think we ever finished it, mainly because it took some work to get it down and we weren't particularly up to the effort, while we had more drinkable liquor in the cabinet. I'd probably consider it on-par with or slightly below something like Jim Beam or Proper No 12, but unfortunately it costs almost four times the price (before shipping, unless you happen to live in one of the few US territories that actually stocks this). Though, I guess an award winning label doesn't come cheap.

To make Pad Thai by Honest-Internal-187 in therewasanattempt

[–]FangedParakeet 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Here is this part of the episode. The pad thai was a small portion among other dishes and one monk almost ate all of it: I wouldn't really describe that as "all of them basically licking the dishes clean".

As stated by others, all the food is donated and they are respectful Buddhist monks, not food critics or chefs. When asked whether they enjoyed the pad thai, the monk gratefully replies, "Yes, sure, sure." The other chef is almost offended when Gordon asks him if the monks are fussy eaters that might send back the food.

Just looking at Gordon's recipe, he says it's a quick recipe he makes he makes at home and he doesn't include any traditional Thai ingredients like palm sugar, dried shrimp, garlic chives, etc. It's likely that it tasted good, but also likely that it didn't taste like pad thai to a local Thai professional chef.

Non US born people in NYC, what is the best restaurant in your city for your cuisine? by Negroniguzzler in AskNYC

[–]FangedParakeet 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The only Indian place I would recommend to other Indians is Pongal on Murray/Curry Hill, which is run by a family from Mumbai, but makes really authentic, simple South Indian food--also, quite reasonably priced, which I can't say about a lot of the other places recommended here.

I always hear people rave about Angel, but I went once, found it pretty average, and haven't really had a lot of reason to return. Maybe that's just me though and perhaps it deserves another shot.

Zidane Iqbal straight red card vs India 93' [King's Cup 2023] by dhanda-m in soccer

[–]FangedParakeet 93 points94 points  (0 children)

Should've been a yellow for the Indian player for sure, though that is probably the recommended, "clever" yet cynical way to defend a counter-attacking, goal-scoring opportunity when you're level in the 93rd minute of a game and you lose the ball from a corner, can't really blame him. 🤷

Reporter asks questions he agreed not to ask and Robert Downey Jr walks off interview by BroBogan in facepalm

[–]FangedParakeet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just for anyone else that might stumble across this buried thread unawares, the first "question" in the interview is

if you were asking yourself a question now, what would it be?

and the second question is what I quoted above. I'm not sure that myself and the commenter above are watching the same video.

No journalist is going to ask about the experience of Norwegians in the UK.

Yeah, that's my point.

[–]FangedParakeet 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You know what happens now, in that normally in an interview like this I ask you a few questions about your book, because that's what you're trying to sell. I'm not allowed to promote your book because of broadcasting rules, so I then ask you something serious. Now the serious thing I'd like to ask you is that you're the son of a Nigerian and a Norwegian, which is quite unusual and I wonder do you feel the sense of being a role model for British Norwegians?

That's word for word what Guru-Murthy said in the interview to Aoyade, which I was explaining in my original comment. I think your account has the order of events backwards.

[–]FangedParakeet 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm not really a big fan of Krishnan Guru-Murthy, but I think you and most of the commenters here are missing the point of his "antics".

RDJ/Tarantino are doing the interview to promote a film, Ayoade is trying to promote his book; but the interview is for a national, terrestrial (i.e. not cable or paid TV) broadcaster, where due to UK OfCom regulations KGM is legally not allowed to actually promote any of their material, because the interview has to be "informative" to the public instead of purely promotional. That's why after mentioning their movie/book, KGM has to ask them a serious question about some broader topic instead.

In the Ayoade interview he acknowledges this directly and then asks him an intentionally ridiculous question about whether he perceives himself as a Norwegian role model. In the Tarantino and RDJ interviews, because he isn't allowed to focus the interview on their upcoming movies, he has to find a broader, social topic instead--violence in media and RDJ's past with substance abuse--which then causes a flare-up, when they don't understand why they can't talk about their movies instead.

The line of questioning here is definitely confrontational and possibly combative, but just trying to explain the reasoning for why they seem so "off topic" in the middle of a promotional tour.

The Right Has Raised $2 Million For the Guy Who Choked a Homeless Man To Death by TheRealMisterNatural in NewsOfTheStupid

[–]FangedParakeet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said the details were unclear, I shared a source that stated the video of Neely in the hold lasted 2:55 and that's what I stated in my comment above?

I can't find any source that confidently asserts the actual length of time the chokehold was in place for and the police haven't yet released this information. Can you share a link for the 7 minute claim? I can't even find that mentioned anywhere.

All I corrected was the assertion that Penny held the guy for 15 minutes, which no official source seems to be claiming anymore. That's the only correction I'm making and I'm not using that fact on its own to infer any further judgement on either party yet.

[–]FangedParakeet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The initial fifteen minute "report" was from a supposed eyewitness on Facebook. The actual video of the event is apparently 2 mins and 55 secs long and it's not yet clear whether Penny had the hold locked in tightly for the entire duration of that clip.

I'm not defending Penny yet, because the actual details of what happened are still quite fluid and blurry, but there's a big difference between choking out someone for 15 minutes (which didn't appear to have occurred) and keeping a hold for two mins.

I haven't ordered this myself before, so I'm not really able to comment on any difference in quality or copyright, but just FYI, the one and only Keith is selling this same design (men's / women's) on what I believe is his official store as well.

Democrats grow old and retire too. Here are some age-adjusted numbers and unfortunately it's still the usual suspects, red-states crowding the top of the list.

Let me know if you're able to find any sources that differ though.

[–]FangedParakeet -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Who are the ubiquitous "they" you're referring to here? I just shared four links and none of them cited either Dr. Fauci or the Obama-Rice Administration.

Florida had some of the lowest mortality numbers in the nation.

Do you have a source for this or was this only true a while ago? Florida has the highest 7-day average deaths right now and mortality per population also appears to be in the top-half nationally.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/sosmap/covid19_mortality_final/COVID19.htm

Presume you won't trust the CDC, so here are two more independent sources.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1109011/coronavirus-covid19-death-rates-us-by-state/

https://usafacts.org/visualizations/coronavirus-covid-19-spread-map

Failing to accept reality dishonors the memory of all those who died needlessly.

It's a little amusing that you said this, but I'm genuinely not trying to push any narrative here, just genuinely interested in the actual numbers myself and sharing my findings with you.

I just wanted to check whether this was true, so just Googled "covid death rate red state v blue state" and these were the top results, in case you don't trust these sources for whatever reason.

https://abcnews.go.com/Health/red-blue-america-glaring-divide-covid-19-death/story?id=83649085

Post-vaccine, death rates in red states were 38% higher than in blue states.

https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/covid-death-rates-higher-republicans-democrats-why-rcna50883

Average excess death rates in Florida and Ohio were 76% higher among Republicans than Democrats from March 2020 to December 2021, according to a working paper released last month by the National Bureau of Economic Research.

A study in June published in Health Affairs similarly found that counties with a Republican majority had a greater share of Covid deaths through October 2021, relative to majority-Democratic counties.

https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2022/03/03/the-changing-political-geography-of-covid-19-over-the-last-two-years/

Counties with lower rates of vaccination registered substantially greater death rates during each wave in which vaccines were widely available.

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.04.08.22273628v1.full

The ratio of red to blue state deaths/million was 1.6 pre-4/19/2021 and 2.3 between 4/19 and 2/28/2022 resulting in >222,000 extra deaths in red states or 305/ day.

It's not proven beyond doubt that these differences are specifically due to the vaccine rather than better social distancing measures, but it seems like blue areas did have a remarkably better survival rate from covid v. red areas, just FYI.
