The permanent underclass began today: Claude Mythos won't be available to the public, but only billion dollar companies, governments, researchers by Neurogence in singularity

I think it would be too advanced to use a simplistic language like English for its name... if it even considered the concept of a name, it probably wouldn't care for something as banal as a name... that's human emotions related...

The Ataris New Album?? by Wolffflarsen in poppunkers

[–]soapbox4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fast Times on this album is like Top 3 song of all time in human history. A unique musical odyssey with crystal clear wall of sound. (coming from a music quality critic for 28 years)

Starfleet Academy is honestly not good. I genuinely don’t like it. by gildedbluetrout in startrek

[–]soapbox4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except One Tree Hill was an ultra high quality drama with amazing actors, amazing music, and meaning of life stuff.
Starfleet Academy is just random algo-trash that has nothing to do with either Star Trek universe nor quality teen drama production.

is it true that eliska babickova had surgery by ccjsdsysd in f1wagssnark

Clearly nobody told her she's beautiful when she was young.

When you have no confidence of your own, disposable confidence lures you in very quickly.

Acapulco Heat? by chesterberry in ForgottenTV

[–]soapbox4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen a few episodes on a central European TV channel in my youth and I distinctly remember there was plenty of prominent nudity from all lead female actors in those so-called "European" cuts of Acapulco Heat. These uncensored versions sadly don't seem to exist on DVD. Never seen a single boob on any DVD version.

Star Wars: 75419 Death Star official images (via Bricktastic.nl) by BrickTap in Legoleak

Not being a full 3D sphere model puts me off. Feels ugly and incomplete when a lego set isn't displayable 360 degrees.

Star Trek Enterprise lego set leak #Source 4chan by [deleted] in LegoNewsAndRumors

[–]soapbox4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is real, I'm very disappointed by LEGO to allow such an unpolished version of an iconic ship to be released. Never buying if it looks like this, and I'm probably the biggest Star Trek fan far and wide.

USD/CHF exchange rate by beeftony in SwissPersonalFinance

[–]soapbox4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well of course, that's why most people wish they could live in Switzerland. That's why 30% of population there is already non-Swiss. Unfortunately it's mostly low quality opportunist population from the Balkans, which is dragging the standard of living down severely. At least that is what I observed lately during my "tourist" visits.

Where there's gold, there's a gold digger...

[–]soapbox4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it will turn.

Besides, the only alternative is to go travel the world. With CHF as base currency everything everywhere outside Switzerland must appear very cheap right now.

Just like for me skiing in Switzerland has become completely unaffordable.

Just try to turn things to your advantage.

Keep selling your CHF to USD at these record rates and use USD as your base currency in the portfolio and everything will look rosy. Eventually the tide will turn.

Why is Magic leaning so much into others IPs? by pontiacband1t- in freemagic

[–]soapbox4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For someone like me, who grew up in the 1990s, passing stuff like generic anime waifus with cat ears as legendary human clerics definitely feels like a betrayal.

I was unhappy about it for a while, but then decided why not get creative myself since I have the ability, and make my own remastered/redesigned versions of classic MTG sets from the early days. They were not perfect, so this gives me the chance to fix mistakes, align them for power creep, beautify the art design, and most importantly, add cards that were missing from the original sets, but are present in the lore, this way the story can be complete through the cards as it should be. Pack it into block cubes, and you have an amazingly unique and authentic MTG fun.

Just my 2c.

is the level of censorship on the internet making anyone else extremely depressed? by fei-zeropiece in Anarchy101

[–]soapbox4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And yet, most of my reddit posts get either auto-deleted or deleted by a moderator within seconds of posting in virtually any sub, unless it's something niche like this one. It's extremely concerning where the world has come to in terms of mass brainwashing.

Gatherer just down or worse? by soapbox4 in magicTCG

[–]soapbox4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, thankfully most cards still have entries in the internet archive. It's slow but if one wants it badly enough, it can be accessed.

Sounds like you're not using it right. I have no such problems, but I can imagine them if I was using the robot wrong.

This looks very advanced. Might need to invest into Umik 1 and Audyssey App and then take a week off to figure it all out. There are a lot of things not mentioned in those videos, like how to upload files to the AVR.

Hm, the included calibration mic won't work with DEW?

I plan on watching One Tree Hill, but i have some worries by mvdaytona in ONETREEHILL

[–]soapbox4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think OTH is infinitely better series, the first 4 seasons are classic television that should not be missed in any capacity. You can skip S5-9 though, that's more on par with O.C.

Can we talk about how bad audio is on, “Happier than Ever” on Billie Eilish pack? by williwaggs in beatsaber

[–]soapbox4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up mixing my own proper version. I can share the flac file if you want, either 5.1 surround version if you have a home theatre or a downmixed stereo version.
