They started using laugh tracks back in the 50s, but they became the standard in the 80s due to the attack on Fran Drescher. At that time, sitcoms were still commonly recorded in front of a live studio audience.

In 1985, she and her husband were brutally attacked in their home by two men who had stalked her from a live taping. In response, the studio went to a closed set for security and hired Central Casting “laughers,” that were eventually replaced by a laugh track. Other sitcoms followed suit when studios saw the ratings and cost benefits to a laugh track over taping in front of a live studio audience.

That’s the tell. Wolverine’s daughter is a brunette.

It’s already banned in Afghanistan, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Taiwan, Denmark, European Union, France, India, Indonesia, Netherlands, Nepal, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Somalia, and United Kingdom.

It looks like one of those expensive bowling balls in the glass case next to the shoe rental counter.

Eeeehhh you got a men’s room in there?

They’re loud on every site. Their goal is to normalize disenfranchisement. They’re either knowingly or unknowingly doing the job for Republicans.

A hypothesis requires no evidence. It’s then tested through repeatable controlled experiments. The events leading to the Big Bang have no evidence. If science can hypothesize, why can’t religion?

Have you read string theory? It’s no different than Spinoza’s god.

The form factor exists, but not in competitive terms. Good luck finding them with high quality drivers. I tried for years and gave up.

I think peak design was the on-ear, behind-the-neck style. They rested on the top of your ears, and your hair didn’t get all fucked up from the headband. I don’t know why they had such a short-lived popularity.

I’ve tried the wired Koss independent on-ears, but you lose clarity of lows without the pressure of a neckband or headband.

Only if they’re kept clean

The Incel Camino is not worthy of the Outrun treatment. Solid meme though.

Sometimes there’s a stick on the road too.

That all depends on how much work they want to put into troubleshooting it for her. I got my mom a Mac Mini when her PC needed to be replaced. It’s way less responsibility on my part. I mostly just answer the occasional how-to.

That’s true. Data transmission is usually measured in bits, not bytes. Gigabit Ethernet can only transmit a maximum of ~128 MB/s.

I 100% support this if you commit to starting every morning deflated and slowly inflate throughout the day.

Stop Making Sense was the first VHS tape I ever damaged from overplaying. It’s also possible it took some impact/magnetic tape damage from me carrying it in a backpack to friends’ houses. Either way, that was one well-loved tape.

I think you mean gigabytes, not gigabits.

8 Gb = 1 GB

I’d consider it a bug if the existing option was removed. Private tabs are nice if I intend to return to the page at a later date. I prefer Firefox Focus for one and done private browsing.

You’re going in circles now. I linked a conversation where Communist explicitly stated people are wrong to believe in god without proof. It’s one of many on this post.

I’m not taking another lap with you.

Good luck always being right.

Take care.

Then we are in agreement that string theory is simply a belief until any evidence has been found. That doesn’t stop them from writing books, holding lectures, and convincing others to participate in the field. I don’t go around telling ten-dimensional physicists to stop believing in, and speculating about, a theoretical field that’s devoid of evidence. I’d consider that pretty arrogant. Just because there’s no evidence, doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Sound familiar?

Again, regardless of how strongly someone believes in religion, it’s still a belief, just like string theory. Why are the atheists in this thread qualified to tell them they are wrong to hold it?

You keep circumventing the main point that I’m making. The religious commenting here were not telling others to believe. Most were not even citing dogma, only how faith affects them positively. Atheists were imposing their own beliefs on the religious through unsolicited critical condemnation.

How can you not see the arrogance in that?
