You use F and C?

Eh, actually I'm being hypocritical here. Just earlier today I described the length of something as "a centimeter short of a foot"

Controller is more comfortable to me, so unless I'm playing an fps that requires a lot of precision, I play on controller. I already have to sit at a mouse and keyboard for work everyday

No idea, probably something Dr. Suess

It's Terminator 2 I'm pretty sure. Maybe you're thinking of Armageddon?

That's why we do squats, kids

I never did fully trust those hay trucks. Glad that wasn't unjustified

Why can't I stop laughing at this what's wrong with me

I feel like the joke would've landed better if it said "first". I know it's pronounced the same way, but I'm gonna argue anyway that there's a subtle difference. I've heard 0th used in cs to describe what was at the 0-index, so in that context 1st would be"second", but "first" generally means "nothing before it". English is weird. I wonder if anyone knows whether the word "first" or "1st" came 1st (lol)?

The wasps local to me will literally chase people, it's nuts. You can practically hear them saying "Come at be bro! Wait come back here I wasn't finished with you". I can't even have picnics certain times of the year because of them, because instead of just making a run for the food like other bugs they like to chase you away first. I once had to finish my little caesars in the car because a wasp was trying to get between me and my pie in the park. I was literally watching the fucker throw it's body into my windshield repeatedly as I continued eating in safety, and it didn't stop until I drove away. Psychotic man. I don't mess with wasps. Our bees are awesome though.

Yeah I'm with you. It wasn't a good movie, but I wouldn't quite call it the worst, just kinda bad. Now Fant4stic? That might be the worst movie I've ever seen, period.

TL;DR if the Roku app is failing to play back some videos recently, try turning on "Text Subtitles Only" in playback settings

So I'd been having this issue where certain videos would fail to playback in the Roku player (but only on Roku, playing from the Android app, the browser, or directly all worked). The video would get stuck buffering at 33%, but after a minute or so it'd finally stop with "There was an error retrieving the data for this item from the server". Transcoding issue? I'd been trying to figure this issue out for a few hours over the course of a few days. I don't recall having this issue before mid-December, and as I learned today apparently there was a big update to the Roku app.

Anyway, my first real clue was using "ffmpeg -i video.mp4" to compare the codecs of a known working video and a not working video. The non-working video was showing an issues with subtitles. So after poking around in the Roku client's settings I saw the "Text Subtitles Only" option in playback settings, and enabling it worked!

Hopefully someone sees this and it saves them a headache. I had to postpone my personal movie night like three times trying to figure this out

 

Pretty much title. Sometimes I want to see new content, sometimes I want to go back and look at old content. It's a little exhausting having to jump into settings to hit that toggle, and it would be really cool if we could switch it from the top bar or in the three-dot menu in the top bar

 

Infinity for reddit used to vibrate briefly when comment chains were minimized (same way, press and hold). I got really used to that feedback.

Also related, but an option to disable the animation for minimizing comment chains would be cool. The slide is kind of disorienting to me
