My local basketball team recently made it almost to the finals, so my wife and I felt obliged to watch a couple of the games. Holy shit, there was so much advertising. Even when they challenged a call and they had 15 seconds or so they still stick an ad on the screen. They even have ads that are digitally super imposed on the court and you can tell cause they don’t always clip correctly around the players but who cares if it interrupts your watching cause we need our money.
That ‘the fans will partake regardless, we need to attract the masses’ attitude is literally what is wrong with all media right now. Basically every major franchise now not only needs to exist across all media types but has been generalized to the point of unrecognizable blandness.
Do you not?!? The Tribble trilogy is some of the best meta Trek!
I don’t know about invariably, but I’ve definitely had that experience picking up a cool looking old 70s sci-fi book and then it’s a book about lesbian sex communes in the future.
A lot of the stuff that comes over the online TV channels is also broadcast over the air, have you considered getting them an antenna?
I wonder if this has something to do with size and construction, here schools are built like office buildings and frankly I wouldn’t want a child operating a linoleum floor waxer. Or do they still have somebody there who does the more rigorous cleaning?
As a Native American, I feel obliged to point out that it wasn’t Native Americans who created this culture…
If that person’s comment isn’t patronizing then I’m totally lost. They even bolded added like I’m a fucking moron. I admit it’s my bad for thinking that people would understand that this clearly has added sugar but I don’t see any reason to reply the way they did.
I’m being argumentative because they are being a patronizing ass.
I didn’t call you a bootlicker I said it seems like you are bootlicking. But it wouldn’t be the Internet unless somebody was misquoting somebody else to for their argument.
I really didn’t need it explained to me. I wasn’t saying sugar from all juices should be counted as added sugar either. I was pointing out that they use apple juice to get away with not adding sugar. Honestly if we both agree that the label is misleading I’m not even sure why you are insisting on arguing.
Yes, my original comment was about being irritated that that person was hired, and they were very much not willing to be coached or I would have been a lot more willing to help them.
I definitely used to want stuff like that especially as somebody who also wears glasses anyway, so I get where you are coming from. But 20+ years of dealing with the Microsofts and Googles of the world have made me very cynical about such things and I am no longer certain that even open source it could be done in a way that protects privacy.
I appreciate you saying that, and I’m not saying that self-taught developers can’t be effective. But my experience has been like home schooled people. In rare cases you can’t tell until the person tells you, but for the most part they are obvious in a bad way and are oblivious to it and there really isn’t an in between. At the end of the day though self-taught or not the worst are people who feel that their learning is over.
I didn’t miss anything. It says total sugars 24g and then leaves that line blank. Then it says no added sugar when apple juice is the second ingredient, which itself should be illegal. It sure seems that you are bootlicking the purveyors of this unhealthy quaff.
0% sugar my fucking ass. I hate shit like this. A tablespoon is ~12 grams of sugar. Your daily recommended (by the USDA, the people tasked with selling more agricultural products) sugar is 50 grams. So a mere 8oz of this shit has half of the sugar you are supposed to get in a 24 hour period but it’s 0%… fuck this lying bullshit.
Fun fact: Fox News went on the air in 1996, the first smartphone was available in 1994. Smartphones are older than Fox News.
Agreed, what little luck I’ve had has fallen through and I very specifically felt that it was because they were looking for somebody who was younger and less experienced than I am at least in this one instance.
There is a big difference between mentoring and dealing with a 4 year difference in education and maturity.
HoloLens was originally marketed to consumers along with what they called Windows Holographic, basically exactly what the Vision Pro tried to do a few years later. It’s been put on the shelf along with the original Surface (not to be confused with the unrelated Surface line of computers) which while yes is still a product line too it was also never the success they wanted it to be.
Google Glass connected to your phone the same way Meta’s do so I’m not sure what you mean by no backing.
Vision Pro is absolutely a failure, that’s why they’ve yet to release its sequel and canceled the other two versions. Vision Pro is not a VR headset it’s a spatial computing platform like HoloLens.
3D TVs were widespread too, they aren’t anymore. Just because something gets a killer feature doesn’t mean people will want it.
Hey, maybe we’re talking about a 90s camcorder and the dad was sitting really far away or something…
