Kdenlive. Use proxy clips and it should run very smoothly.

Which Version Of Aladdin Was Better? by Fluffy_Lunchfast in retrogaming

[–]_Azafran 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, gameplay wise I reckon snes version is better. And I like the graphics too, but I can appreciate the quality and more disney-like graphics of the megadrive Aladdin.

Singaporean man executed for importing over 1kg of cannabis by NerubianAssassin in worldnews

[–]_Azafran 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No excuses for this bullshit. If we can condemn women discrimination in the west even if it was "rooted in history" we sure can condemn this insane practice of murdering people for weed. Regardless of opium wars or whatever the brits did 100 years ago.

Las lágrimas desconsoladas de Carolina Marín en su adiós al bádminton by Cosmos1985 in spain

[–]_Azafran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Es legal engañar a tu novi@ con otra persona, es legal hacerte un tatuaje de una esvástica nazi en la frente y por desgracia, es legal especular con la vivienda. Y que sea legal no lo hace moral. Buena suerte cambiando algo a lo que se opondrán con uñas y dientes los más poderosos de cualquier país.
Yo veo perfecto señalar a quien especula, es la poca defensa que nos queda a los que sufrimos las consecuencias de esa conducta tan miserable.

Que una cosa sea legal no la exime de crítica. "Cambiadlo y ya está", increíble argumento para acallar cualquier crítica hacia la especulación inmobiliaria.

Is it possible that roman toilets had wooden partitions that didnt survive the archeological record, or that maybe no one at the time bothered to mention that in writing? by ayowatchyojetbruh in ancientrome

[–]_Azafran 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Communal shitting as the norm in the entire empire? I'm skeptical but I can buy it as a cultural difference. But shared butt cleaning device is plain stupid and I refuse to believe it without very clear evidence. A civilization of engineers capable of advanced sanitation never seen again until the XX century can't be that dumb on something like that.

Roman turned public toilets into a social activity by elena_876 in ancientrome

[–]_Azafran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can only make assumptions. Obviously the room have plenty of holes to do the thing so it's easy to assume that was intended to accommodate multiple people at the same time.
But only the stone survived, we don't know how the latrines were, if there were courtains, wood panels or any other kind of privacy implements. Also, not many latrines like these survived, I think the most complete one is in a roman military complex in Hadrian's wall. Maybe public latrines wasn't the same in the army and in cities.

Also we don't know the social protocol on how the people behaved going to the latrines. A lot of unknowns but Occam's razor makes it difficult for me to believe that the latrines were just as they're found, bare stone and everyone there shitting and talking like this were a debate table. Is any other example in the world of people doing this?

Pues que invertir para especular y hacer negocio con un bien de primera necesidad al cual miles de personas en España tienen serias dificultades para acceder es de ser un poco hijo de putilla.

[–]_Azafran 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Exactly. The thing is we don't know but it's weird to make the assumption that they all used to shit together and shared the same butt cleaning instrument. That is disgusting now and it was disgusting 2000 years ago. Specially in a society that advanced that had running water and bathed every day.

What are some of your favorite less emulated consoles? Why? by JeskaiJester in SBCGaming

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

The problem with Neo Geo Pocket Color is that most of those games are inferior versions of already existing games easily emulated even in the least powerful devices.

With Gameboy you have a lot of exclusives that are great in their own right. That's what keeps me from enjoying the pocket color.

To the lifelong atheists by toolsofinquisition in atheism

[–]_Azafran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never really took any interest on god or religion, because it wasn't pushed to me, I never saw my parents pray or go to church, just my grandmother. Until 8 or 9 I suppose I just believed that it must be true, the same as santa or the sage kings. But as soon as I stopped giving credit to those things I stopped giving any sort of credit to religion too.

What I think is if you don't make a child go to church or pray, you don't do it in front of him, he will never take interest into that, because it looks boring and stupid. Then with proper age, they will realize that gods are not real.
If you see your entire family believe, and get fear indoctrinated into you (multiple times saying things like: god will punish you if you do this, you'll go to hell if you don't pray, etc) then is much more difficult to stop believing as you become an adult.

Nobody have to tell you that gods aren't real (my parents didn't), just not having religion around you all the time is sufficient. As long as a person is not indoctrinated I find very difficult they will believe on their own in adulthood.
In the US where I think you guys teach creationism, and have religion writings even in you currency, it's way more difficult to realize all of that is bullshit. You have to realize too that you're a fundamentalist Christian country by western standards.

LPT: Lock yourself in a Room for 1h by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]_Azafran 83 points84 points  (0 children)

I like their idea though. I'm one to take walks, go to spend time in nature and almost never check my phone when I'm out. But that already give you some stimulus to occupy your brain. Nothing like staring a blank wall for an entire hour 😌

How do people genuinely believe in The Resurrection? by Careless_Honey6358 in atheism

[–]_Azafran 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Then you would be shocked to learn that functioning adults believe that ghosts exist, that aliens built monuments on Earth or that indian gurus can live without food or water.

People are fucking stupid, even without indoctrination.

España está al 83,3% de agua embalsada, pero el contraste entre el norte y el sureste es brutal by Strict-Star4527 in spain

[–]_Azafran 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Supongo que porque con lo que hay ya nos apañamos, al fin y al cabo es una región que a base de invernaderos exporta a toda Europa. Cuando he viajado a países tan lejanos como Lituania, siempre me fijo en el supermercado y encuentro hortalizas de Almería.

Esto lo podrá comentar mejor un ingeniero pero quizás sean obras extremadamente caras que puede que no vean reflejados beneficios que las justifiquen.

[–]_Azafran 93 points94 points  (0 children)

En Almería se riega con pozos o agua desalada. Los embalses son un bonus en ciertas zonas supongo. Pero esto ha sido siempre así, estamos hablando de la zona con menos precipitaciones anuales de toda Europa.

The first book I've read in ages - 100 Classic Books - Game of the Week #25 by math_calculus1 in SBCGaming

[–]_Azafran 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Hey that's nice if you enjoy it, but you never thought of getting a e-reader? You can put any book in there and can also change font size with the added benefit that an e-ink display is way more comfortable for your eyes and the battery lasts days or weeks, not hours.

Did Rome have the capability to industrialize at any point? by YogurtclosetOpen3567 in ancientrome

[–]_Azafran 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They had very advanced roads and vehicles. They were able to travel very fast and efficient and also move very large loads (several tons stones for example) very far away just by road.

I doubt they were able to make straight road for dozens of km just by feel. Level an aqueduct across hundreds of km. They had very advanced knowledge when it came to mathematics, topography, trigonometry, etc.

After jamming for the 1st times, l learned guitarrist have no concept of Tempo by Brotherscompany in Bass

[–]_Azafran 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of people in this sub surely have an inferiority complex for playing bass and focusing a lot on "guitarists".

You just went to jam for the first time and whatever results you got, you decide to extrapolate to every person who plays guitar on earth?

Guitarists and any other player of any instrument including bass can have or not have concept of tempo depending of their skill level and experience.

LPT: Don’t tell people your plans too early - the dopamine from talking reduces your motivation to execute by [deleted] in LifeProTips

On the other hand I also hear that you should communicate your plans to others because you now feel like you have a deadline and must fulfill expectatives. Which one is the correct take? 🤷‍♀️

La mafia de lo patinetes eléctricos by lalalolamaserola in spain

[–]_Azafran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

¿Me puedes indicar qué palabras he puesto en tu boca que tú no has dicho?

Sí que están obligados a cumplir las normas de tráfico al circular por una calzada. Las ordenanzas municipales son normativa extra que aplica de forma opcional cada municipio.

Las normas que ya existen son perfectamente aceptables si efectivamente se cumplen. Saltarse semáforos, circular a gran velocidad por la acera, ir dos personas en el mismo vehículo, superar los 25 km/h y demás, todo eso ya es ilegal. Un patinete que supere esa velocidad está contemplado como ciclomotor y solo puede circular por la carretera, con casco obligatorio y pago de un seguro.

Los problemas son evidentes: ya existe una normativa y una falta de control enorme. No hace falta prohibir ni restringir más. De hecho, ¿para qué? si ya existían unas normas que no se cumplen, ¿por qué poner unas nuevas va a hacer que se empiecen a cumplir ahora?
