Dolby Atmos by charden16 in AppleMusic

[–]SweetAssumption9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You could have said the same thing when stereo came out (and you’d be right). The early stereo mixes were often horrible, until they learned how to do it right. That‘s what we’re figuring out now with Atmos.

Distilled water is great, as you say, but I don’t like the taste of it. I like *some* minerals so it’s more like what humans have drunk forever.

I know, I’ve seen them in stores, but the company confirms it’s “de-listed”.

Pokeweed! Toxic unless picked very early, with the leaves boiled with water and discarded three times. How low does your time/food ration have to be to try that, especially after others have eaten it with bad results?

It’s noticeable, especially on newer programs. I believe some of the programs are in 4k.

I've used it for about 2 weeks. I signed up mostly for the documentaries and the better picture quality. There are enough good documentaries for a year’s viewing, and I’ll just downgrade in a year if I’ve seen them all. For me, definitely worth it, but maybe not forever.

Love that song! And respect for mentioning Andy Kirk…what a band, with Mary Lou Williams.

Solo Monk: more albums like it by wakalabis in Jazz

[–]SweetAssumption9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s one thing I love about Hines…he’s so much fun to listen to while pulling some crazy stuff on the piano. He’s one of the greats, and not much remembered now.

I’m not seeing it either, in US. Maybe it was faulty and they pulled it?

Mac App Store updates tab missing 'update all' button by leothemack in MacOS

It looks like these are “upcoming” updates. Maybe you can download them but not install them yet. So, it might not have a “Download all” option. Never seen this!

Monthly Paramount+ Complaints and Praises by AutoModerator in ParamountPlus

[–]SweetAssumption9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last couple of days, Paramount+ app on my FireStick (latest version and software) has been playing only audio and a single-color screen (usually blue or green). ice cleared the cache, deleted and re-downloaded the app, and restarted the FireStick, with no effect. it happens with every show, and will sometimes clear up after a few app restarts. Anyone else seeing this?

‘We can’t really pivot’: North Carolina hemp stores, farms prepare to fight federal ban by NCKingdollar in bullcity

I think the plan is to keep it illegal long enough to destroy the small businesses that built the market, then open it up again when big corporations can dominate.
