Posting the shopping cart theory because people had questions in a separate thread
You return your cart because it's the right thing to do
I return my cart because it gives me a sense of superiority

Alec Baldwin indicted for involuntary manslaughter in fatal gunfire on film set
Reply in thread
Work in the industry, doc side but this is pretty basic producer stuff. This is 100% on the armorer and the only reason they keep trying to charge Baldwin is the legal grey area of the state they filmed in. Had this happened in a state with more production (Georgia, Louisiana, California) there would be a more direct way for prosecutors to go after the correct person. Georgia and California specifically has legal precedent from deaths on set like this.
One of the reasons credits are so long is because we hire people to maintain a safe set - think of it like a foreman for safe worksite in construction (which we also hire often). We hire a ton of people for safety from actual police to medics and rescue personnel.
Hiring an armorer is SPECIFICALLY to avoid situations like this. Because the production company is like "hey you know what? I don't think me, some producer knows how to use a gun safely, I should hire someone who's certified to do that." It's not some token job, they're supposed to be trained on how to properly load the powder of the blank rounds, how to mark and flag hot guns and dead props, and pretty fucking much rule #1A is never bring live ammo anywhere near your set.
Baldwin should not be held criminally liable and any half decent entertainment lawyer will settle that. Now civil liability, that's certainly more realistic. But even then it should be the production LLC not any 1 person.

Wait... Seriously what? That's literally the only reason to sub to AMC+ is this some kind of weird legal dispute?

Bernie Sanders 8.5 hour filibuster Lo-Fi
The best part of this is he literally could've talked about any subject, or just read the dictionary. But Bernie never goes off topic, the man WILL lecture you for 8.5 hours, and that's just his warmup. Absolute legend.

Biden campaign speech on abortion rights disrupted 14 times by pro-Palestinian protesters
Reply in thread
We should be criticizing our old, conservative president Biden. He needs to 180 his stance.
Also not voting for him in Nov is vapid and invalidates any defense of the Palestinian people you have.
It sucks, but it's reality.

Fun fact: what that audio guy was describing is called "room tone" and correct it's used for both patching and as a base sitting under all the other audio elements for the mix (music, dialogue, sound FX) and is a common practice after a on location shoot is wrapped to have the whole set "hold for tone".
The reasoning being it captures the 3D soundscape of the ambient noise in the space and how those noises bounce off surfaces and people that our ears definitely notice when it's missing like your post says! The reverb of a small office room and a gym would have very different room tones for example. And an absolute void in audio is extremely distressing and it's why you almost never have absolute 0dB in a sound mix unless intentional.

At the D-Day ceremony in France, a WWII veteran tried to kiss Zelenskyy's hand, but he knelt down to the vet and thanked him for saving Europe.

Sometimes I scoff at "charisma" being a trait looked for in leaders but then I see anything Zelenskyy and I'm reminded yeah ok damn I can see that. The man is arguably one of the most effective politicians ever elected. And wholesome af. Hopefully one day he can go back to comedy.

'The factory must grow': Hundreds of Factorio players built a record-breaking 'God Factory' to produce an inconceivable 1 million science per minute

I cannot stress this enough if you're remotely worried you'd get addicted you definitely should NOT play. I used to do opioids and I'm not exaggerating this game was more addictive for me. Like lose your job addictive. I'm adhd and on the ASD and absolutely obsessed with the concept of optimization. The thing is you'll never really reach peak automation unless you do like this project, 400 people 10,000s of hours.
I'll give you another reference point. I've also played wow, Arma Life, and Foxhole, all very common addicting games. I'd sit down to play one of those with a beer and after a ~3-5 hours and a few beers I'd take a break and notice time went by. Factorio I'd sit down at 6pm and never touch my beer, never move an inch from my seat and think a few hours went by when it's now 8am and I only notice 14 hours went by because I see fucking sun light.
Fuck this video really makes me wanna play again haha.

It's funny because they literally did that... But not like in a nefarious way. The first batches of the COVID vaccine were given to select group of government officials (command level Pentagon/Nuclear and White House staff, Sec of State/Defense, etc). Which, realistically, was the right choice.
