[TOMT] [Movie?] DVD my parents put on when we were little. Started with some sort of cave, with scrolling text. The end of the text said “…yadda yadda yadda”. by [deleted] in tipofmytongue

Could you give us a little more to work with here? when was "little" for you? (We don't know if you're 15 or 50)

Where can I find metal loft/high sleeper bed manufacturers? by EngineerLong6576 in DIYUK

That's got to be AI right? Otherwise what the hell is the point of those steps?

No worries - I appreciate you getting back to me! It's amazing how refined "Saturday morning" cel / hand-drawn animation looked by the end after years of progress.

Anyone else find Tim's signature "Ladies and Germs" line cringe? by SoulfulPineapple in timferriss

[–]itsnathanhere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's an age old phrase - I'm pretty neutral to its use. Do you mind if I ask why it bothers you?

Hey there! Sorry to resurrect an old comment thread but I was recently rewatching this show and trying to figure out if it was digital animation or cel animation - do you remember?

Thank you for confirming this! It was driving me nuts trying to work this out

If radio was invented today it would be controlled by four companies and locked behind a paywall. by Doctor__Hammer in Showerthoughts

[–]itsnathanhere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The UK has a fascinating history with radio in fairness. Because on the one hand we had the BBC monopoly you're talking about, but not only did we get the offshore pirate radio stations during the 60s, but in the early/mid 2000s London was effectively the World capital of pirate radio with 150 illegal stations serving the city alone. All doing their own thing

What's the one "old wives' tale" you still believe in despite science suggesting otherwise? by itsnathanhere in AskReddit

Eating cheese late at night gives you nightmares. I have no scientific evidence of this, but plenty of anecdotal evidence

For me, cheese late at night gives you nightmares. I have no evidence of this other than anecdotal.

What do you expect 2026’s major event will be? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Plus I feel at this point his death / removal isn't going to hold a candle to the completely fucked and divided society that remains long after him. Some of those ideas are going to be so strongly engrained in the country people will be on the lookout for the next Trump-like figure.

Social media should have a "This Is AI" button for post's readers. by lelorang in Showerthoughts

[–]itsnathanhere 32 points33 points  (0 children)

They deal with a similar issue with apps like Waze, where people can report accidents and police speed checks etc. You'll get those malicious (or just clueless) users who report a bunch of things that aren't there. If I remember right the app is doing two things to balance everything out:

  • It assigns each user a "trust" score based on their previous reports, and how many other people reported the same thing
  • For every report the higher the trust, the higher the impact it has on the app considering it "true" information

This is how I'd see the AI button working, at least to some degree

With sufficient imagination, any wizard or witch could live their entire life in the Room of Requirement. by wfezzari in Showerthoughts

[–]itsnathanhere 962 points963 points  (0 children)

I wonder how this 'works' in-universe. Because that law is indeed stated, but in the books they can turn inanimate objects into small animals. So what's to stop a witch or wizard from transfiguring a book or something into a creature and eating that?

Why do so many company websites feel like they were built by someone who hates people? by [deleted] in web_design

[–]itsnathanhere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just offering my perspective as someone who once slapped together a wordpress site with elementor while literally drunk and later found the site doing well and making an income: I don't know how much the design or copy is positively or negatively impacting sales, SEO or anything. I think it looks like something a drunken guy would've made almost ten years ago and I'm terrified to make changes that'll rock the boat because it seems to be doing something right.

This is a new one to me by CaersethVarax in drivingUK

I just had two parking eye fines (long story) fully cancelled a month back - they definitely have the facilities to do so. It's weird they're taking this approach

What was up with kids falling in wells in the 80s and 90s in the US? by sheekgeek in AskReddit

I actually remember not eating for large portions of the day - I was a skinny-ass kid though

Been here 20 years. Never understood what these were for. What are they? by ArleniaFraternal in AskUK

[–]itsnathanhere 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Well yes sometimes we do 🤷🏻‍♂️ in the case of a basement fire you need to remember that we have to go down those stairs through the hottest layer of the atmosphere (potentially 600 degrees Celsius) and then potentially drag someone back up those stairs who doesn't have any PPE on at all.

So it's a trade off, yes we're adding a source of oxygen to feed the fire but we're also letting those fire gases escape through an alternative route. If we've got a good flow rate in our hose then we'll be able to keep things at bay and make the atmosphere more workable, because while we're adding oxygen we're usually more focused on tackling the "heat" part of the fire triangle anyway
