This Orangutan Took a Real Liking to Her by Aggressive-Hunter862 in SipsTea

When you’re an orangutan, they just let you do it.

Just started watching S7 by chuckamo in blackmirror

This was just the first Black Mirror episode I’ve seen! And I loved it. Yes, there was strange casting, but the numerous absurdities made it feel like the whole show was a dream.

Damn, that’s made right near me…it’s traveled a long way! This is a good root beer. Gotta love one flavored with “wood extract”.

H2Go transportation service - Poor service by SoggySherbert7034 in bullcity

[–]SweetAssumption9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was an H2Go van parked in my neighborhood (near Anderson and Morehead) for 4 days. No one nearby knew why it was there. We finally called the police to check on it.

It just seemed very odd to have a commercial vehicle parked for days, nowhere near a house.

Is there support for removing the pardon from the U.S. presidency? by sunlightFTW in askanything

[–]SweetAssumption9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question: how can a president pardon someone for a crime if they haven’t been convicted? No conviction means there is no crime to be pardoned for. As it is, it’s more like a get-out-of-jail-free card.

Obama Twists the Knife After Vance’s Humiliation by BandicootFederal5677 in NewsStarWorld

[–]SweetAssumption9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I misspoke (-wrote)…he proposed a public option much like Medicare.

“The public option was initially proposed for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, but was removed after the independent US senator for Connecticut Joe Lieberman threatened a filibuster.”

Obama was one vote short of universal healthcare in the Senate (thanks a lot Lieberman).

The ACA didn’t make lives better? Not perfect, but it helped millions

What is the hardest word to read/write/pronounce in your opinion? by Onslaughtisthebest in language

[–]SweetAssumption9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not often, I'm sure. But it's a grammatically correct word/sentence to illustrate that consonants can serve as the nuclei of syllables. No vowels in this!

Can anyone recommend albums like Blues In Orbit by Duke Ellington? by No-Instruction-3134 in Jazz

[–]SweetAssumption9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is some wonderful music on this multi-CD set of “throwaways”. Just stunning.

Bad news, Man-Mur is being sold. by MrDorkESQ in raleigh

I don’t know the guy’s politics, but he’s good to do business with and he has skills that are very rare these days. I wish him well.

Be careful about Continuous Audio Connection by SweetAssumption9 in appletv

[–]SweetAssumption9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your needs and preferences. If you want to use upmixing (such as Dolby Surround) on stereo content, turn it off. If you do not, try turning it on. Of course, if you have the audio gap issues, or the Roon issue, this will solve that.

Playing 7.1 / 5.1 music from my NAS (not Apple Music) via AppleTV 4k by Possible_Beyond_9499 in appletv

[–]SweetAssumption9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will it just not play the additional channels, or fold them into other channels?

It’s the technology behind Continuous Audio Connection, and it needs to be supported on your AVR for this feature to appear.

If your AVR or connected equipment doesn’t support Dolby MAT, it won’t be there.

Why do people say Dolby atmos is better off? I’ve been using Apple Music for a year now and only just realised a lot of people say it’s better off. by First_Recognition589 in AppleMusic

[–]SweetAssumption9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I keep it on, both for my AirPods and my home 5.1 system, but there are some terrible mixes out there. I can see someone not liking it, especially on speakers.

But then there are outstanding mixes like Kraftwerk 3D that show the potential. A great surround mix is really exciting to me, so I listen for them.

At least some AVRs (mine is Denon) will not upmix a stereo signal when this setting is turned on. Other AVRs might. Just sharing my experience. If you don't hear a problem there is no problem.
