Am I the only one preferring low quality media over high quality one?
  • I have actually taken to downloading 1080p versions of things I have access to in 4kHDR from Disney and Amazon. Frankly I can not stand HRD/Dolby Vision versions of things. No matter how I adjust my TV they still suffer from that ghastly soap-opera effect. To me having the background bright and in focus flattens the image making everything look like a bad set. It also makes the tiny differences in lighting of digital effects elements more noticeably.

    I hate it.

  • [GDT] Edmonton Oilers at Florida Panthers - 08:00PM EDT
  • Well I can fill it up with some chitchat!

    After the asswhoopin the Oilers put on Florida in game4 you could see the adjustments making a difference. Though the Oilers won games 5 & 6 the Cats were figuring out how to get back to playing their game, and in game7 were back on form. The Oilers on the other hand fell back onto old habits. They shows in games 4-6 that there was some depth there and it was pushing them over the top. Last night they leaned so heavily on their top line, especially in the 3rd, that by the end of the game they were gassed. When they finally pulled Skinner they had nothing left and Florida could grind the clock for the last couple of minutes.

  • Hell of a game. Thought for sure we were going to get some Bonus Hockey to add to the drama. Hard to feel excited for anything in the state of Florida but easy to feel good for Paul Maurice.

    Well done Cats

  • Something like 90% of hydrogen is produced from methane and coal, so there clearly are reasons. Most likely cost effectiveness.

    Add carbon dioxide to the hydrogen, and you get methane that you can transport through existing gas pipelines

    Well sure, since those pipes are already transporting methane. I dont think requiring each home to have its own methane pyrolysis infrastructure is particularly practical or efficient either.

  • Most hydrogen is produced from natural gas so would not really be a replacement for the foreseeable future. Gas infrastructure is not designed for transporting hydrogen so leaks would be significant. Hydrogen can also penetrate into steel piping and cause it to crack and deteriorate more rapidly.

    Biogas, sure if there were enough production available.

  • Can I get LMDE with xfce instead of cinnamon? And more LMDE questions
  • I suggest trying Cinnamon and see how it feels. Unless your old notebook has less than 2GB RAM then you will probably be aok. I have run it on some pretty weak machines before and never found XFCE to be noticeably snappier.

  • Florida looked asleep at the wheel.

    Sadly for Edmonton it is not a race to 10 goals, it is still only 1 win. They have to do it 3 more times.

  • Cats have figured out how to shut down the power play which is where the Oilers were so dangerous. They were incredibly reliant on that advantage but with it neutralized they are floundering.
