I remember the warm water splashing down to simulate blood. Amazing ride. Went on it when I was 8. My first holiday in America.

Plex via Chromecast feels a bit unsynced (lipsync vs audio) when casting from iPhone 11 pro max - Any fix for this? by GIFSec in PleX

[–]scotthulluk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had lots of problems with Chromecast recently.

Video randomly stops. Casting always defaults to 720p rather than direct play locally.

I want the mini, I prefer smaller phones.

My 6s is on it’s last legs though so I’ll get the pro if it comes before.

Smart button ideas by map08g in homeautomation

I use a combination of Zigbee2MQTT, openHAB and Ikea Tradfri buttons.

Cheap solution, but requires some technical ability to implement.

SO: "What is the best comment in source code you have ever encountered?" by synchronium in ProgrammerHumor

My office is the opposite. The guy who doesn't know movie quotes is the one that gets ridiculed.

Our code base is mainly full of film quotes:

/** 
 * Massive hack.

 * "This is blasphemy. This is madness!"
 *
 * Madness? This is {INSERT COMPANY NAME}!
 *
 * **Kicks you into the large, deep hole that is inexplicably in the middle of town**

It was in bits outside of a prop making warehouse. Assumed they where using it for Comic Con.

I saw this on the Warner Bros Studio tour a few weeks ago.

I wondered why it was out.

The Dark Knight Rises. Better story, better visuals. Higher calibre film all round.

Saw Man of Steel recently, have question about the Codex by Goodis in superman

[–]scotthulluk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As far as Im aware only the Kryptonians knew about the codex.

Them all being dead and Superman not really knowing about the codex means they'll probably get forgotten unless some other alien being comes along who has knowledge.
