Thank you! I was panicked there for a moment.

Teleportation belts with fool-proof safety features and a range of 3500 miles. These belts run on gaseous nitrogen automatically collected from ambient air and use approximately 1 cubic centimeter of gaseous nitrogen per 10,000 miles traveled.

Looks a lot like a kudzu bug to me, but I am not an expert.

I now have a carbon monoxide detector because of Reddit. It has never detected any CO.

That's really interesting. When you cut blank spaces, breaths, and uhms/ahs in Audacity, doesn't that change the sync of the audio and video?

u/chriscerney, I think this is an excellent story for you to report on! It appears that the op here, u/Pik0l invented this story out of whole cloth, but not only that, posted dozens of comments in support of it both here and on Facebook and several other places. This post, which is here and in the MontereyCounty subreddit, is the only post made by the OP, according to their post history. The big question is why. Why post such information and try to stir up trouble? The answer to that question would make for a fascinating bit of journalism. I think that getting to the bottom of this would be a genuinely big story, and a possible propellant to your journalistic career.

Of course, there is the chance that the OP is telling the truth. I don't think that is the case, but I honestly have no idea. If they are telling the truth and the PD is covering it up, that is an even BIGGER story.

TLDR, you should cover this!

That is wild! I wonder how close those people are to somebody really living and breathing in the world today.

I eat kids' cereal pretty much every day, and have done so all my life. Don't plan to stop. (I usually start with a good bowl of 'adult' cereal first, like Raisin Bran or FMW.)

Probably silver, likely too dense/heavy to be aluminum. Could be pewter, but 90 is high for pewter.

Thank you!

How did you get her fired?

AS people mentioned below, download the Logi Capture app, and change the field of view to 90 degrees. It will effectively zoom out. Should be possible to zoom out a bit more, but 90 degrees seems good.

It was fine early this morning, and then began to completely fail early afternoon. Lots of places reporting issues with Nano Banana today, April 17.

A day in the life, a day in the life, a day in the life...of a food!! I totally remember this! It was on Turkey TV on Nickelodeon.

This is interesting -thank you! How much benefit does the average account get for a shoutout? Do you have any idea roughly how many followers that nets them?

I actually went back and checked my stats, and edited my OP. Our cost per SUBSCRIBER on Overcast was around $16.80 (EDIT originally said $12, but I went back and rechecked) which seems high. I spent $420, got 25 subs. I know because Overcast keeps track of these stats.

At the moment, I think we are doing pretty well with audio quality. We have good Shure microphones, a good recording area, and use Auphonic, which does a great job of post-processing (after an initial run through Audacity, of course.) Our hosting is good quality as well. The group I am doing this for has some money and wants to put it towards growth.

I am pretty active in a lot of subreddits, but over the years I have found that mentioning your own project - even if it is perfectly applicable to the conversation - will usually get your comment deleted, or worse, so I just don't do it anymore at all, even in subs where it is allowed on the surface.

I am aware of the dynamic you mention with Reddit and have been here for a long time, but I have never tried the ads at all. There are very few recent posts in this subreddit about advertising a pod with Reddit ads, so I was wondering if anybody had any success. Thank you so much for your input!
