Movies@lemmy.world•In the Blues Brothers movie did they only sing two songs and got the hell out? Kind of seems like a waste of money. Unless they were the opening act or something.English
3·3 天前Cab Calloway was a legendary band leader in his own right, far beyond his minor role in a Saturday Night Live sketch turned cult classic. His picture belongs in the encyclopedia for skat.

6·2 天前The band was playing a bunch of songs before the brothers arrived, the brothers just performed the “last two songs”. We see Cab Calloway warming up the crowd with one of those other songs. It was all for a good cause and I’m sure the outlaw nature of the duo was no surprise to anyone. We as the audience are “in on it”, seems safe to assume the on-screen audience is kind of “in on it too”. “Orange whip? Orange whip? … Three orange whips.”

privacy@lemmy.ca•‘Adversarial clothing’: are garments designed to confuse facial recognition systems about to go mainstream?
0·5 天前As if that stops police from using it to target randos or prosecutors from using it in court. The executive branch REALLY loves its junk science.
What is good natured about this?
You’re a bully. I hope you find some non-toxic relationships someday.
As that dude would say, “Get Fucked!” A good prank has everyone laughing, including the person being pranked. This is just being shitty to someone and laughing at their plight in dealing with it. This is a shitty fucking “prank” and I wouldn’t count anyone that treated me this way, for any reason, as a friend. If someone has to chase down the victim and explain the joke/prank, then it wasn’t a prank.
Here’s what wild about that. Olympus Mons is so massive and with a gentle enough slope that, across most of it’s topology a person standing on it, might not even know they were on a mountain. At about 22km high and about 600km wide, you could (very roughly on average) expect to walk about 13.6 meters in order to rise or fall 1 meter (~7% slope). Another source puta the slop at %5 (1:20). Those are both on the same order of magnitude of slope as a handicap ramp.
So much safer to go one album at a time using Picard. Picard makes it easy to go down the list of a disorganized directory, identify most things automatically, allow in depth review and modifications to what Picard came up with, and standardize file naming. I’ve tried to let programs like Lidarr and beets automate it, but they always ends up causing more and more complex problems to discover and solve after awhile. Music releases are complex and sources are diverse, using distinct standards of form and format. It’s not a problem that can realistically be solved for my entire music library without the guiding hand of a librarian. I could listen to my library for over six months without repeating, even 1 album out of a 100 mis-tagged or misidentifyied could take me years to discover.
I do like to automate the less critical and more machine oriented library tasks like adding genres tags, replaygain, and lyrics as you do. Just not things like the metadata tags, file naming, or album art (embedded or otherwise).

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•When someone close to you likes a deceased celebrity who you know has some controversy/allegations, do you tell them about it or let sleeping dogs lie?
5·10 天前I don’t want to know about Sam Neill’s controveries.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•If _all_ social media was behind a paywall, what % of current users would actually pay for it?
3·13 天前This is a non-sensical question. On a social media service YOU are the product. You’re characterizing the content as the product. But the content is merely the advertisement or bait for users, who are the real product, being sold to advertisers and countless other organizations. Why do you think reddit started charging for API access? Same goes for ads on Facebook, Google services, Instagram, TikTok, etc.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you had to start today, would start collecting CDs or Vinyls?
2·16 天前These days I try to buy either DRM free flax files. If I really like the art or the artist in addition to wanting to regularly actually listen to as an album, then I may try to buy vinyl + flac files. If it’s at a show I’ll buy whatever is available that I can play because at that point it’s more about the merch than music. I’m probably going to pass on the wax cylinders and I may think long and hard before buying a cassette.
It’s not hard, it just isn’t particularly efficient or convenient. The standard method is to use a bunch more water that you want to become actual ice, make it in large insulated blocks, then chop at the end. I have a little insulated tray that makes two at a time. They come out pretty clear, but at least half the water used is essentially waste to create a clear cube. The top half being still ice, but full of little bubbles, not clear. If I was throwing a party, as people are want to do on summer weekends, and I wanted many many big clear ice cubes then I’d seriously consider buying a box load.
Is the word in English that you’re looking for rouse? Or rousing? As in “Julica rouses”. Or “Julica - rousing” so the dash makes sense again. There’s also Reveille or The Rouse for the morning bugle call.

memes@lemmy.world•When somebody initiates a discussion, and then refuses to engage in said discussion
2·22 天前I’m seeing this post for the first time, sitting at -30. I’m seeing it and yet it’s pretty heavily down voted. I’m not browsing by controversial or something like that.
Anyway, downvotes don’t really work the same way to hide unpopular posts the way you’re used to reddit doing. People aren’t enjoying it and are in fact still seeing it, so maybe just check yourself before getting hostile.



I’ve made these movies a collection on my Plex/Jellyfin server. There’s also The Rundown and Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.
