    Another one today :/

    Any time there's a school shooting, I legitimately tear up. I don't have children of my own, but the idea of a shooter on campus stresses me out so deeply for those kids. The other day, there was a high-speed chase with a Uhaul in LA that popped up on the news. I usually like watching those. Nobody usually gets hurt. But a Uhal? Very suspicious. And, when the guy car bailed in a cul-de-sac and ended up on a middle school campus not long after school let out, it was white knuckle stressful watching kids run away with backpacks on. Turns out, the driver was just some DUI, unarmed crackhead.

    • My bf of 7 years is a teacher. I get to hear all about the lockdowns that never make the news here.i_monk
    • I loath thinking of hearing about my kid's first 'active shooter' drill in school. Such a sad state of affairs.mandomafioso
    • @i_monk *shutters* It seems like teaching is more like going to work as a cop or firefighter. There's a chance something terrible can happen on the job.shellie
    • Except, only are a lucky few compensated fairly for the risk + the pleasure of raising other people's bad or difficult kids.shellie
    • I guess she will not be attending QBN drinks next week.utopian
    • ^ wrong post sorry.utopian
    • Most of the lockdowns at his school (that I know of) come back to parents splitting up and one trying to abduct their kid.i_monk
    • it's natural for biological organisms to kill one another. funny how humans protect animals so they can continue to do so but become monsters when a human killsimbecile
    • violent crimes are not as concerning to me as state assisted executions. alas, the blindness created by "justice" allows the contradiction to perpetuate.imbecile
    • Humans choose, animals do not. And I think you'll find humans hate the idea of certain animal-on-animal killing too, like when lions or chimps slaughter thei_monk

    So, one of my besties in High School got arrested by the feds today for sex trafficking and running a cult. What a trip.

    • We went to the same HS, Orange County High School of the Arts. She was my first friend there. There were a lot of famous kids there, including Jodie Sweden.shellie
    • Considering where I grew up, went to school & that I've always worked in Ent., I don't "know" that many famous ppl & they don't know me. Like ships in the nightshellie

    • This movie is going to be stellar.rootlock
    • Continuity, no that's the really mind blowing part to me. We lost touch when she was cast on smallville which didn't surprise me.shellie
    • But that's also when another actress on the show brought her into the cult. I'm just not surprised she worked her way to the top.shellie
    • she was a hard worker, focused, intense, talented, and a leader with a loving disposition. People trusted her by default.shellie
    • Had she invited me, I would have went to see what it was all a about. I guess I'm glad we lost touch.shellie
    • I've pretty much decided tho, if she's convicted I want to visit her in prison. I really do feel bad for her. She followed the cult leader straight to hell.shellie

    Just installed a spare tire on my car, got a flat. First time I ever do this. Couldnt find the damn jack, had to check on the internet, it was under the driver seat. Didnt know where to put the jack, had to check on the internet. Didnt know how to use the jack, had to check on the internet.

    If we were in 1992, I would have been lost in the dark.

    Was helping my Grandma clean up some of my late Grandpa's stuff. She was telling me to take his old cameras, and in one of the bags i found some interesting items.

    There was a letter and two polaroids of some naked woman. These letters were from 2001. The chick was trying to get my grandfather to sleep with her, begging him and all this shit for like 4 pages. It is hilarious, I wonder if he ever did.

    I made sure not to show grandma that shit, she would probably burn all his stuff.

    It's 2018 and this shit is ridiculous, verging on environmental concern... not only are they shit quality for full colour video and absolutely huge files it takes a shit ton more energy for a modern device to download and play a gif than an mp4.

    Recent example from gif animation thread:

    1920 x 1080 px, 16 million colours original video with audio
    length: 2:34
    Size: 25.6MB

    630 x 356 px, 256 colour TINY GIF
    length: 2:02
    Size: 206.9MB

    The mp4 uses a third of the CPU required to play the gif on my machine (at full resolution with sound)

    Fully appreciative of the art but usually when I see my own gifs they're recirculating with logos slapped on them at double the filesize and half the quality. It's been 25 years of fun, but I'm going cold turkey on making and posting the fuckers. QBN any chance of some better format embeds? Think of the children!!!

    • also the gif is lower framerate, i'd say overall it could be 50x energy consumption to play a gif than mp4kingsteven
    • I can't really open the gif animation thread anymore without boiling my laptop's innards.Fax_Benson
    • yep it's actually a bit of a ghost thread these days... entire page of gifs runs on one core and my last 3 mac upgrades have reduced single core performance.kingsteven

    • Tomorrow is Earth day. I encourage everyone to not open the gif animation thread for one whole hourdrgs
    • Environmental concern? Holy cow.Hayoth
    • 'verging on'... think about it man, every gif on the internet over a certain size/ length/ colour depth is using hundreds times more energy than equivalent mp4kingsteven
    • be great if gifs didnt show up on the front page. Kills my laptopmugwart
    • Gifcoin – converts the energy used to display gifs into crypto currency.shapesalad
    • ^ Gif animation thread now worth billions.shapesalad
    • gifs are best at short 2-3 sec loops. Doesn't everyone know that?docpoz
    • if you found that in the gif animation thread, it's your own fault for not watching it when it was posted prior in the vid of the day thread. you're an enabler.imbecile
    • +1grotesk_neue
    • @imbecile thanks for giving me the option not to watch it :-Dkingsteven
    • use .gifv https://help.imgur.c…mekk
    • gifv is mp4 (or sometimes webm) in a wrapper. but yeah, if you upload a gif to imgur or any of the other big hosts, it converts it to video, then back to gifkingsteven

    I've turned into my Father. I mean, I have been for years anyway, but now musically too.

    There's a 'web radio station' in an adjacent studio and they've got their door open whilst someone plays a set. It's generic hard-ish house music, the sort of stuff i used to get off my box and listen to nearly 20 years ago when I wasn't listening to techno, drum and bass or ..shudder.. trance.

    Here now, I can pretty much only hear the bass and for the past hour or so it's been a repetitive, never ending Bum-tsch Bum-tsch Bum-tsch Bum-tsch Bum-tsch Bum-tsch Bum-tsch Bum-tsch Bum-tsch Bum-tsch Bum-tsch and honestly, it's fucking dull.

    My father used to deride my music as 'washing machine music' whe I'd play it in my room or the car, or wherever - which, when you can't hear all the overlaying details and non-bass notes, is exactly what it is.

    fucking. boring.

    • Previous set had notes of sevillanas and south american music - that had variety and wailing at least.detritus
    • my father was the same ... but with added racism.mugwart
    • Is it a Bum-tsch Bum-tsch or an Oontz Oontz? Big difference.garbage

    How bored do you have to be to post reviews on Yelp?

    • its more of a self importance thing. Most is people complaining that some average restaurant didn't worship them. horrible cliche writing alsofourth
