Sketchy skeevie places, like China.
Other cars, American and european have had ambient for years light enabled during day and night without any significant increase in accidents. Whats the problem with the tesla?
Awesome video, Stuart! Congrats on the new Tesla!!
Still gonna use it
That looks way easier than I would have thought!
Interesting!
I lean towards fonts like fredoka, playful but professional
I dunno, I like the way Times New Roman looks. Maybe it’s because I grew up with it being the standard.
15 years and I'm still learning things from you. Interesting video. 🙂
Really cool video ! Gonna have to check out more of your channel 🙂
I think the Trooper 2 is great. Feels authentic enough to me and the extra buttons are brilliant. I use it on my Retron77 (and PC, android box etc) and map the reset/select/menu/save/load to the buttons in Stella. Saves my old knees from getting up to hit reset every time I die. I did remove the decal and put in orange buttons from the trooper 1 which looks much better.
cool vid. would love to see m,ore about typoesetting
Good story, good editing. Computer/tech history of how the past influenced the present seems like an interesting niche to consider.
This is a great video. times new roman can kiss my ass, i'll never use it again
Great video. Good explanation. I knew about the existence of Times, so I always thought Times New, came from Times, not the opposite.
Those of us who want out words to COMMUNICATE, rather than just "look good" will continue to use Times New Roman, for its outstanding legibility, and universal availability.
Looking good IS communicating.
If the goal is to communicate, to more people more easily, don't use Times New Roman. Reading accuracy at higher speeds and reading comprehension for people with reading issues like dyslexia or vision issues from age are best achieved with sans serif fonts at larger sizes. The default of Times New Roman and it's universal availability is not because it is legible to humans, but because it is easy for the computer to process, it was common in print type before, and people of that time thought it looked good. If the aim is readability for most people from a commonly available font use something more like Arial sized 16pt or larger. If you want something that is easier to read for dyslexic people, creates less eye strain for the average reader, or is better indexed for speed reading comprehension there are specialty fonts that have been made for those purposes. Those options are not universally available because accessibility and usability for all are not always the default, those options look nothing like Times New Roman, and those options are extremely focused on COMMUNICATING rather than just "looking good"
It's a good little console, it's not great but it is good and it's firmware is it's saving grace young lad. Happy gaming man.
I remember that scene 😂
I liked and subscribed to you brother. Break a leg 🤟
Somehow I can’t get the Friends theme song out of my head after watching this.
What about in novels?
Nope, not even in novels.
@@middleagedhack Palatino it is then.
Times new roman looks totally fine.
Yes, yes it does. I'm now going to use it AND increase the font size.
I'm a webdings guy myself.
Neither really look all that interesting. As a bland legible font Times New Roman is entrenched enough that I'll use it still.
I can promise you, no one cares.
Harsh but close to true
True!
Hello, I was analyzed your YT channel and I saw that in your channel have some problems, that's why your channel is not growing. Your videos is not reaching to targeted people, not getting engagement. Do you want to know these problems? If you can give me permission I can tell here, . Where Can I tell? here or email? or other??,.,.,..
Better to just avoid any Tesla product.
Were you shoved into a glovebox as a kid?!?😂
@@ThreeDogsTwoCatsAndAWife Not sure why you think you made a funny, can't see it myself.
Your production is great, but you don't seem to have anything interesting to say, or if you did, it was too late in the video.
Early member of Gen X here going part time soon (my decision) then the next 5 years i'll decide 62,65,67 but I am leaning 62 as Ive saved , have decent 401k (for now anyways) and no more mortgage or loans and am currently driving my last NEW (just paid off 6 months ago) vehicle so I am in spend as little as possible the next 5 years
Good luck, perhaps the hands thing? th-cam.com/video/N4ye8mU_wyo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=FRqpnUOhHVKmVfQP
Good luck with your channel!
No one's paying attention to it? That should be par for the course for Gen Xers.
I don’t mind the pitch clock, but he’s right about the commercials. And this is why going to a game live is and forever will be 100% the better experience.
What a dumb old man argument lol. The “baseball” you’re missing out on with the pitch clock is just pitchers waiting minutes between pitching. I don’t miss that at all
They could just not play commercials, don’t blame the pitch clock for the execs being greedy
The pitch clock is in place to cater to casual fans and sports betting ads, where tge owners make their real money. So yeah, the pitch clock is directly related to the owners' insane greed.
Baseball now along with everything else sucks
"So what if nothing was happening, it wasnt a commercial"
This makes no sense it’s the same amount of commercials but just in fewer time
The pitch clock does make the game itself better, so maybe we should stop treating commercials like some force of nature and acknowledge that they could reduce the length of the commercial breaks if they wanted to. They could... but they won't.
They can’t because the commercial breaks give the pitcher time to warm-up, meaning the commercials protect the pitcher. While on the other hand the pitch-clock is actually creating injuries so…
Commercials ruin every sport. Take the NHL. There goal is to have at least 4 commercials during one period. Every 5 minutes and a whistle causes a commercial in hockey. Yet they have a 15-20 minute intermission where they clean the ice with a Zamboni. They have 3 commercials during each intermission. It's so annoying and it's hard to even watch sports anymore. Just commercial after commercial
Baseball fans are sooo silly you mean you enjoy waiting around?
Show us the data of what you're saying. There have bewn over 3k games played since the start of lasr season so that's a decent sample size
they always go to commercial at the end of a half inning. This is stupid. The game is faster. If they fit in more commercials it is the short 30 second ones and only a few.
I think you’re hard of hearing, or just stupid. Quicker innings= more comms per hour.
Get rid of the pitch clock and bring back steroids...problem solved
If you still don’t like the pitch clock, you’re just hardheaded
Yeah exactly. The pitch clock has made baseball more fun to watch. I don't know what he's talking about when saying "the pitch clock makes for more commercials" that doesn't make sense because they would be going to commercial after each half inning no matter what. Football does the same crap. It's why being a Jets fan makes football unwatchable. 3 and out commercial. Score points kickoff commercial.
I hate the pitch clock because it's increased injuries tenfold
I’d rather have a longer inning of more baseball being played than shorter innings, more commercials, and increased injuries. These new rules aren’t even making baseball baseball anymore. Like you can’t shift? Can’t play on the grass as an INF? Can’t even disengage from the rubber more than twice? These rules were changed from rules made over a century ago, just doesn’t feel right.
If you think everyone has to agree with you, you're an imbicile.
Quality over quantity. I’d rather watch a short commercial every 5-10 minutes than watch 10-15 minutes of wind ups rosin bags and mound visits
Exactly. This dude is crazy. Makes no sense
Season 2 was GREAT
I never finished Season 1 of Prodigy. But Season 2 was pretty good! The plot is an intelligent time-travel plot with non-obvious twists and turns. I think a few plot opportunities were missed (like having some characters experience the events in different order), but it’s not too shabby.
I'm gonna guess, it's because you're not a child. That's going to be my guess going into the video...
Ok, so maybe it's not that. Having watched your video, it's probably because your Trek tastes are individual to yourself. Most of the more mature audience seem to enjoy the "golden age" of Star Trek when three shows ran back to back and all obeyed the canon. They seemed to have flavours for all tastes and enough to satisfy the majority. Even if you loved to hate some of the decisions in them. Did Janeway make the wrong call? Is Sisko up to this job? I think if you enjoy most of Nu Trek then that could be where your inner conflict is coming from. Prodigy is the only show still truly trying to link to the past and respecting that continuity, from what I understand. But what do I know? I don't even watch the show!
That's because you are a middle-aged hack.
