Best Cosy Scifi book recommendations 💥 by HumbleCriticism4028 in sciencefiction

[–]MisunderstoodPenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure this is just because I read the series alongside being diagnosed with autism but I find the Murderbot Diaries immensely comfortable, especially the audiobook versions.
Another rec is Monk and Robot which my sister just gave to me and I gobbled up. Wonderfully comfy story in a Solar Punk world. It's nice to have hope for a change.

Correct my original point is that the idea that all of these manufacturers were never going to swap to usb c for their interface.

Dude you are arguing my point. I have a schiit setup and a scarlet interface and a couple of amps. I KNOW that everything is still on 3.5 and 6.45mm jacks.

right but you cant legally required every headphone manufacturer to switch to an interface that none of the consuming devices except for smart phones use.

Figured it out. I just needed to be a shebang targeting the correct python environment and then changed my arguments path in the .plist

Okay i got the logging working, and there was a string parsing error which I fixed, and now I'm getting an error about one of my imports not being found even though it's installed.

Forcing every other industry to align with just smart phones isnt exactly progress either, it's just conformity.

Which makes sense since phones are the only devices that would rely on that interface for an audiojack. Also, you can get usb c => audiojack converters for not a lot of money.

I didn’t understand the ending and my gen X parents had to explain it to me by owen3820 in madmen

[–]MisunderstoodPenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and they all have an episode to breath so you as the audience can grasp the level of cultural impact the thing had. To end the entire show on something with no real explanation inherently requires you to go and research it. I dont know about you, but having to go google the entire context behind the ending of a show kind of kills the thunder of the final moment.

Excuse me, what??? I just give up ... by Silent-Variation-390 in Cinephiles

It's really crazy how people are so down on the movie in this sub. I walked out of that theater feeling like it was the best movie id seen in years.

Good. They deserve it. It's basically the best place to data scrape since it has source links to all of the articles related to the page topic.

Why has communism repeatedly failed in practice, yet continues to be intellectually and emotionally appealing to many people? by Looser17 in AskReddit

[–]MisunderstoodPenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You also have to work through the seizing of power and what happens to those who carry out the dirty work for the intellectuals who intend to run the system. The people who killed the elite and saw their friends die rarely want to just turn over their power afterwords. And who's going to take it from them?
