We figured this might ha…”\n\n“No. They think the vaccine is a bigger threat than the virus.”\n\n“Whaaaaat? We took out all the battery acid right?”\n\n“Yes sir, we were able to cut down on the number of patients that spontaneously combust by replacing it with a solution of powdered moth balls and the tears of trafficked children.”\n\n“Oh really? Hot damn, I’m glad we found a use for those. Yes yes, we can’t have patients combusting in front of other potential patients. But this is worrisome news Carothers, and after we’ve come so far. Now how will we kill all humans?”\n\n“I suppose we could use guns, or bombs sir.”\n\n“My god man, have you completely lost your mind?

The main characters of Cowboy Bebop aren't nerds, they're ex-criminals and ex-cops and orphans and runaways. I think the show and actors were too self-conscious, instead of showing us hardened killers-for-hire out to make a buck they tried to emulate a cartoon's aesthetics. So in the end, Firefly becomes the more faithful \"space cowboy\" live action simply because it started from scratch and had each actor believe in the character they were creating from scratch.\n\nI guess I finally see why the old acting advice holds true that good acting isn't imitating, it's drawing deep from different parts of yourself to create your version of a character, and how actors are sometimes told not to watch other performances of their character.

I don't care about what specifically the characters are doing (as long as they don't ruin Julia, ugh) but as an anime that's so quintessentially about the vibe* -- practically just setting us up for the next moody blues song -- it's more important to make the dialogue feel right.\n\nBebop is honestly almost entirely visually uninteresting aside from showing us imagined otherworldly locations. Spending too much energy and budget on making the explosions and space travel look amazing is a waste IMO. Take half of that away and just make sure that the gutteral grizzled bark of Jet yelling \"Spike, get back here!\" gets contrasted with the almost whispered \"shove it, old man\" of someone who doesn't have anything to live for anymore, THAT is what's important. If you don't understand that Cowboy Bebop is a story and characters that can absolutely be set in 1860s Dodge City, and are too focused on the space-future visuals, then I think a lot will be lost.

Hunt says to get close, the main metric the company uses to judge success is a variation on viewing hours called \"valued hours.\"\n\n>This isn't simply a raw tally of how many hours people spent watching Netflix. It also takes into account what percentage of someone's total viewing that represents. In other words, if you watch a lot of Netflix, your hours are worth less to Netflix. This makes sense when you consider that the most vital unit to Netflix is a \"subscriber.\"\n\n>Hypothetically, if one particular show is the only thing on Netflix a subset of subscribers watches, but they still pay every month for Netflix, then that show must be really important for them. And Netflix will consider that show valuable to the service.\n\nSo it's less \"time on site\" as I postulated, because Netflix doesn't care about getting someone who uses it 50 hours a year to 100 hours a year, in contrast to an ads company where 50-100 is similarly valuable to getting someone else from 0-50. I _do_ however think they definitely care about you watching -- I am 100% sure that \"hours watched in last 3 months\" is intensely correlated with \"likelihood to cancel this month\".

Are there whiney weebs in there too? Abso-fucking-loutly. But it doesn't invalidate their complaints or let critics ignore the issues.\n\nAt the end of the day, the Netflix version of Bebop made a half dozen huge departures, a few dozen smalls ones, and yet kept weirdly loyal to not changing visuals as much as possible. Vicious aside, they took a female love interest who exists more as a concept in the original show (seen only in still frame flashbacks for all but the end of the show) and again, keep featuring her prominently in early flashbacks all season, only to rewrite her as the villain? Which thematically makes zero sense for the arcs these characters were on. They rewrote a lot of stuff for Faye that worked fine, and largely I think her stuff works okay, but they force her to be a quip delivery machine too often. Minor complaints here.\n\nThey do all this. And yet they copy stuff like the outfits and character designs of your bounties 1:1 from the page. And spend a ton of time on this. They adapt Faye (whose outfit is hilariously a meme, and who's archetype has been well worn), but then keep the literal living cartoon that is Edward as... A living cartoon, complete with the black bike shorts and white tee. Does not work at all in real life.\n\nYou have to fit the medium. Bebop was willing to age up Spike by 30 years to cast John Cho, but unwilling to touch a hair on Edward's head. They were willing to vastly expand on the love interest and villain who were formerly more endgame concepts for your noir protagonist to wrestle with, but were totally unwilling to do the same by Maki g original stories that suit this remixed version of the cast.\n\nThe anime is fine. The TV show unfortunately lands a lot like the live-action Ghost in the Shell did. It's pretty (aside from the bad lack of atmosphere in a scene and overuse of Dutch angles), but it kissed the heart of the originals story.", "You guys are telling me that the same guys who gave us the Deathnote movie made a bad version of Cowboy Bebop? /s", "Which, given that it's only a pretty good anime, makes it seriously overrated.", "I'm a lil further than you. The tone changes after 4 but they're still slow (I didn't really like them all too much until halfway through 3) It's the snowball effect that makes it better as it goes. This is a situation where I think fans are wrong. There's so much actual shit in the books and so much characterization goes on internally, so they have to only get the story beats and change the connecting material to make it make sense.

Notably at the end of the Anime the story is finished, Spikes dispute with Vicious is resolved rather permanently the crew moves on with their lives. In the Netflix adaption everyone survives the final confrontation and when all is said and done they still want each other dead. I get it, someone who had even a single original thought in their live wouldn't be making anime adaptions but making it obvious that season two is just going to recycle the main antagonists (like many other Netflix series) isn't a good sign and made sure that the end of season one compared like shit to the original.", "Yoko Kanno deserves better.", "I don’t know, the casting for Ein was pretty spot on.", "Mustafa Shakir carried the show, John Cho was alright.", "You're obviously unaware of the epic highs and lows of highschool football", "Netflix obviously cancelled it because you can't beat this peak line of dialogue.

He's trying to play a comedic foil to Spikes stoicism which is just too much and I just didn't think the actor's voice and demeanor fit the character. In the English dub, the voice actor for Jet took some liberties from the original Japanese actor which is fine as he didn't take it too far. This actor never watched the original and just looked at the English dub and took it one step past that which ends up making Jet a comical character which he is not.", "Cowboy Bebop was the first show I bothered to give a thumbs up or down in about five years.

I didn't see either of those sides of Faye in the anime. Same with Edward. In the anime, she utterly lacks composure, but her interruptions to the plot are cleverly timed such that each and every one contributes to the development of the plot or of another character. And forget how Ed literally bounces everywhere she goes.

While this is mostly presentation, it also affects how the story perceived.

They had to invent so much dialogue and so many scenes out of no where just to pad out the runtimes and give us excuses to see two people talking.\n\nThe anime is extraordinarily economical with it's dialogue. Partly because of stylistic reasons, and partly because it had to be, being an anime. This is also one of the charms of the anime and why the anime works as well as it does. You can't just go to one scene in the show having more dialogue than the entire episode of the same story in the anime without bloating the story beyond recognition.\n\nI mean how many lines does Viscious have in the anime in the first place?

When you put real objects and actors in frame in front of a camera it immediately carries a different meaning and requires different shot choices than anime.\n\nIf anything they should have taken a cue from the long lingering shots that bebop and many animes like to rely on to set a scene, that should really have set the tone for the adaption.

But for all that, there's significant elements of it that clearly won't be changed by voice acting. You can't make the core episodes of the Spike - Vicious storyline anything but tragic/dramatic, for instance.

There will be spirals if they're hit in the head by the female characters. Animals can do super human feats when needed as long as they're surrounded by hearts or make a determined face.

Jet is entertaining but he is the cliche, grizzled beat cop partner (so original!). Vicious... I mean, this guy has ZERO character traits. That's kind of his thing, right?

It padded run time. Adding a bunch of stuff about Viscous and Julia from the start isn't bad because that isn't how the anime did it, but because it is a far less elegant - and less inherently interesting - way to handle that three-way relationship.\n\nOn the other side of the coin, doing a near shot-for shot version of something like Spike working out was a lousy choice even though it was straight from the anime. Not only was it unconvincing - and the first moment when the show looked like a marginally competent fan project rather than something with gobs of money and talent behind it that comes to mind - it was little more than a narrative stumbling block in the long stumble-filled middle of an episode.\n\nHad the show been well-executed - but different - we'd no doubt have the complaints of it not being close enough to the original and all of that. But we didn't get that. What we got was a show that works more often than it doesn't, but the overly long episodes mean that every episode has 10+ minutes of stuff that doesn't work.\n\nWhich is to say that a decent pass by a skilled editor looking to trim the show to around 25 minute episodes would yield...a pretty good show.", "If Netflix wants barely watchable content why would they cancel shows that get views but have awful ratings?

I just tried watching the movie Just Friends (2005) the other day and then turned it off because it sucked. RT: 42%", "What the fuck", "Sigh I am so immeasurably disappointed reading the comments in this thread. I loved Cowboy Bebop, the anime and the Netflix remix; I've seen the anime more times through than I can count, and I loved what the show was trying to do. It wasn't a 1:1 adaptation, nor should it have tried to be. It was trying to do it's own thing, and granted, it didn't exactly hit all the right notes--but goddamn it, I can appreciate the effort!\n\nI felt John Cho's Spike was infinitely more relatable than Steve Blum's. This Spike wasn't just an aloof, overly serious, overly detached, ridiculously badass gunslinger/cowboy running from his past; he was funny and charming from the very beginning, carefree, but could also be a dick, and I loved what he brought to the the role far more than I thought I would. His fight scenes could have been better, but I still loved a lot of it, especially when he takes out the entire gang in the nightclub. And I loved his time as Fearless and seeing him work as Vicious's partner was just so much fun, I wish we'd spent more time there, honestly.\n\nMustafa Shakir did a phenomenal job as Jet Black, I personally preferred this incarnation over the original as his story in the anime is left to play a very sad second fiddle to the mystery of Spike's past as it slowly unravels, while in this, he gets equal treatment as a character. It's not just Spike's show. Jet has stakes beyond just keeping the Bebop afloat, stakes that bring him into conflict with Spike--and I thought that was great tension and character building for both of them! There isn't instant forgiveness between the ex-cop and ex-criminal after the truth comes out. It just felt more believable to me, and Mustafa Shakir just embodied the best qualities of Jet to me.\n\nAnd then there's Daniella Pineda's Faye, who maybe gets the greatest upgrade to all the characters? She's funnier, smarter, more of a help to the boys of the Bebop, way less of a damsel in distress, and yet still as annoying and selfish as her original counterpart without ever feeling like she's overdoing it. She knocked it out of the park in my book. Her backstory also worked better for me in this version, and it looked like we were gonna get some more, real closure for our girl, until Netflix pulled the plug. \n\nThe Vicious and Julia criticisms, I dunno, man, I really enjoyed Alex Hassel's take on Vicious just because the character isn't really a character in the anime, he's more of a plot device for Spike. His character literally begins and ends with a cool sounding name and swinging a fucking katana, I mean the character is a ludicrously bad Anime trope and always has been, but he's the bad guy of our show and therefore needs more to him; Hassel's spoiled, unhinged, jealous, petulant, joyfully violent, and murderous at the drop of a hat Vicious is leagues more believable as a character, and infinitely more interesting to watch, even if only for the memeability of him. Plus the dude clearly gives it his all playing a fucking whackjob, so hats off to him.\n\nJulia's character is, to me, easily the most controversial just because of the direction taken with her. She is just far more active in the plot than the original Julia, and while I found her and Spike's romance a bit truncated, and therefore not overly compelling or anything, I did enjoy seeing more of her character and the history between her and Spike. She's such a central point to Spike's character, her absence from the anime lets the audience fill in the gaps and kinda lets the original writers cheat and not have to sell us on their romance, we just take Spike's word at it--kudos to the team for trying to make Julia more of a character in a story about her as opposed to just a figment/ideation in the mind's eye of two men.\n\nI'm disappointed the Netflix version is being put on ice so soon after waking up from cryo. Oh well. See ya never, Space Cowboy.", "That’s what got me more than anything else. The dialogue was stilted and awkward, no one looked comfortable or believable in their role, it was just a mess.

Plot and story have little to do with cinematography, which was not a weak point of this adaptation. It was also fairly different from the cinematography of the original, which of course it would be given that the medium is radically different, but even accounting for that they made stylistic changes where they could have carried it over from the anime.\n\nCinematography refers to the stylistic choices made in choosing how to convey information through the visual and auditory media present in cinema. How you frame or light shots, what sorts of colors are present in the field of vision, how long shots linger on certain focal points, the special effects used, etc etc. Choosing to tell new stories vs. old has nothing to do with cinematography.", "I just watched the anime and while I'm about halfway through, I think vicious and Julia have already accumulated more screen time in 2-3 episodes than 26 of the anime. \n\nI never cared that much about Julia in the anime, and while I get she's part of the character motivations, never felt we needed more of her.

Because people have a hard time seeing your face from the audience, therefore facial expressions cannot be used to communicate, therefore they exaggerate their movements. The actor for spiderman actually follows the same logic, in the scenes where we he got his mask on, he exaggerates his movements.\n\nNow anime tends to be similar, characters are exaggerated because it is more difficult (read expensive) to convey emotions through drawn facial expressions. Then you got cliches, which are akin to iconography. By using certain anime cliche you can instantly tell what kind of character X or Y or Z is.\n\nThen comes the important part, adaptation. You cannot take a piece of theatre, and ask people to act exactly as they would for a play. You can, but it will come off as silly. The same can be said about any art going from one medium to another. If you ask a TV actor to go on a play and he does what he usually does, people will not find it interesting and have a hard time understanding what you're trying to communicate.\n\nCharacters may behave one way in theatre or in anime, but it would make no sense for them to act that way IRL. \n\nThis is where Netflix failed. For the most part, they did a copy-paste(ignoring the changes here and there) of half of Cowboy Bebop and told actors to act like the anime. It makes no sense whatsoever on screen and it simply comes off as silly. The Ed scene in particular. \n\nThis is also why video games adaptation into movies struggle so hard. Normally art is experienced as a third-party, rarely as a first-party (although it can be!), in video games, it is quite the opposite. So how do you adapt a medium where a lot of the immersion comes is nondescript and comes from the experience? Take Half-Life, great game. You play Gordon Freeman, just about everything is down to play action and ultimately comes down to Gordon Freeman being a selfless problem solver who wants to do what he thinks (is told, quite often) is best. But how would you portray that in a movie? Just seeing the actions and decisions the player does is not very interesting, because you didn't experience that decision.", "Sorry, forgot it was broken up into \"Sessions\" not seasons.", "I wouldnt get on a soapbox and rave about it but I personally liked it, even with its flaws.", "[They tried way too hard to turn an anime into live action to the point where it's laughable.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6UryaAukz4)", "I physically cringed.

Visually it's better for sure. The tone is less...Lynchian...which I like but I can see others not liking. I like the original better for a few reasons. First, I think it actually packs in more content. You get a better sense of the different factions and the scheming. \n\nSecond, the presentation of the world itself. One of the key features of the novels is that all the different planets are for the most part isolated (aside from very expensive travel) and it leads to these really unique monocultures on each planet. This gave Frank Hebert a great canvas on which to paint his masterpiece. Herbert was interested in different types of rule, rule by fear, rule by love, technocracy, theocracy, etc. I really like how the Lynch version exaggerates these differences, each faction in the Lynch version seems completely alien to each other, and they're supposed to.\n\nThird, the acting. In the new version, I think Paul and Jessica were equally well presented in both versions, and Chani, but mostly because she didn't have much of a role in the Lynch version. Duncan, of course, was way more enjoyable. It's upsetting that Lynch did him so dirty; Duncan is the only character to feature in all 6 books and Lynch gave him like 3 lines. But aside from that, I think every other character was either better cast or better directed (or better written) by Lynch. Patrick Stewart annihilates Thanos as Gurney. Yueh was better in the original. Stilgar was way better. Mapes was better. Thufir was better. Piter was better. In fact, all the Harkonnens were freaking amazing! Leto II was better. Mohiam was SO much better. The new version felt like all the characters were a bunch of action movie tropes...they could have fit into any movie. That's good in the sense that it's the lowest common denominator (i.e. everyone is familiar and it's easier to get on board, it felt like a Star Wars movie, which is not necessarily bad) but, I dunno, I want something more epic for Dune, and that's what Lynch provided, at least for me.\n\nThere were more departures from the novels in the Lynch version, some for the better, some for the worse. The new version much better captures Paul's struggle with the consequences he sees from his actions, but unless you're super tuned-in to the novels, it probably doesn't have much of an impact. The sound guns from Lynch were a questionable choice. Here's why I think he did it and why I think it was useful. Basically, the conflict between Atreides and Harkonnen was like putting to the test the Machiavellian theories about ruling from love or fear. Herbert wrote that the Atreides were such good fighters because of extreme loyalty to the duke that they loved. I suspect Lynch didn't think he could portray that in a movie, so he made it into some kind of tech instead. Fans hated the deviation, but I don't think the new version was all that successful on this front either.

I know a lot of people are against this, but whenever working on an adaptation, they should make a new, unique story that is maybe, loosely related to the original. The best adaptation of books, in my opinion, are ones make no effort to recreate things word for word, but rather take their own spin on things. As an example, Blade Runner is only similar to \"Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?\", it's source material, in that there is a character named Dekard, who is hunting replicants. That's about it.\n\nThe problem is that adaptations are taking material that works in one format, like animation or books, and trying to make it is a different format, TV, film. Things that work in one format are not going to work in another. A written story isn't going to have the correct pacing for a movie or TV show. An animated character is not going to work as a live action character. Pacing, story, dialog, all need to be adjusted for the new format and the best way to do that is to only very loosely follow the source material, but get the vibe and themes correct. Distill down what Cowboy Bebop was, get the world building correct, and make new material that maybe, at the very most, loosely follows the original episodes.\n\nThe problem with this adaptation, and to be clear I didn't think it was terrible, was that they were too coupled to the original. They followed the original episodes too closely sometimes and then diverted sometimes which ends up pissing the fans, who want it to be just like the original and the non-fans who just want a good show.\n\nAs an example, a copy of Ed would never work as a live action character. They are just too much of an anime character. However, you can re-imagine an Ed like character that does work. Get the vibes right, get the idea of the character, but find something that works in a live action format.", "I think so!", "I’m married lmfao\n\nEveryone loves anime", "I'd just recommend you the anime then.", "Oh.

There is a lot of subtext that is packed into each line of dialogue, and the script respects you enough not to over-explain anything.\n\nThe best example of this is how 2021-Faye apparently walks around telling everyone she meets that she lost her memory in a cryo-freezing scam operation. I was at least once per episode, for a while.\n\n1998-Faye brings it up, sure... but only when it's immediately relevant and her back is against the wall, because it's something she is supremely embarrassed by. So she's not going to (for example) spill her guts to a random mechanic she decides to romance, because she doesn't want people to see her as vulnerable.\n\nThe main issue is that you can't take a 20-min anime and stretch it out to 45-min without adding in a ton of dialogue.

This adaptation had its moments, but mostly it was just weird. \n\nWhat bums me out the most is that this got made, and now this is all it will ever be.

Lost did more or less that. Long-running supernatural, meanwhile, had character arcs tying together monster of the week at various points. For that matter, look at Fight Club and countless other popular movies. The idea of having the backstory being messy, confusing, and not in the right order is incredibly common. \n\nThere is nothing particularly special about anime as a format that changes the basic concerns of structure. I'd wager there are plenty of fans of the original whose only exposure to anime was much the same as mine: a few years watching whatever was on Toonami. While such a structure is a bit advanced and perhaps not well-suited for a very young audience, it's hardly the kind of thing that requires advanced understanding of the tropes and techniques of anime. (The relevant ones in this case aren't particularly unique to anime either.)\n\n>I think the point is that a genetic former lawman isn't easy to connect with.\n\nIt depends on how you're couching easy. Plot is easy. Show the thing that happened as it happened and you have plot. But much of what happens in good storytelling is found in subtext. At no point did the anime stop and give you a speech laying out what I did for Cowboy Bebop. Instead we see that Faye is flighty, greedy, and rude. She pushes people away while maintaining a giant - and seemingly undeserved - ego. Over the course of the show we are given context at points and grow to understand things about her character. Much of this is because the first person she can remember trusting betrayed her totally and fundamentally. The rest is a defense mechanism to make sure she's never the one left holding the bag - or her trying to fit into a world where she's been handed a losing hand from the start. This understanding of Faye doesn't require an academic dive into themes, symbolism, or anything else; instead, it happens naturally over time.\n\nEditing problems aside, the real sin isn't changing the formula or tweaking characters. There isn't anything particularly wrong with Jet being motivated by his kid. The sin is that these changes exist to make sure you grasp what a character is doing and why as soon as possible. It lays out who they are up front. This is thinking that the audience is to dense for subtlety and subtext - in spite of the fact that TV audiences will happily dive into academic dissection of such things at a moment's notice when they enjoy the show. But nearly as important is that part of why the original show worked was that we the audience grew to discover how these people are and how they fit into the world along with them. It is the difference between a lecture and personal discovery. The latter is hard to pull off, but it gets pulled off all the time nonetheless.", "Such a disappointment too.

I agree there wasn't as much focus on other characters and there was maybe too much focus on Paul's dreams and how he struggles to choose the right path for himself.

I feel its the same with live action vs. animation. Humans are masters of reading other humans so you can express a lot of information with just a few gestures. Animation has to do more to make sure all the right information comes across, but if you transfer all of that directly to live action it just becomes too much.", "Wow won't somebody think of the YouTubers?", "It's impossible because no remake would ever get a positive reaction.

And the movie is really freaking awesome too! I was late to it, didn't watch it through until.... 6 years ago. You'll see why people are up in arms, its probably better to have watched the show first, then the anime, because the anime does really set a bar. Not just for a live action recreation of it, but, for a LOT of anime in general. Its considered one of the classics, genre defining, so much so Netflix wanted to make a live action series from it. So, you really can't go wrong. And if you liked the show, you will at least like the anime, if not love it. And it might just be your gateway to more :O. Either way, enjoy.

What was 'fun' about her was watching the cringey character interact with such serious characters in serious situations. And we didn't even get the chance to have that fun with the live action version because Ed was on screen for 30 seconds and declared an abomination despite being a fantastic adaptation. Now we are hearing arguments that being a great adaptation is actually bad? But other characters like vicious were also bad because they weren't 1-to-1?

The previous Batman movies had a very cartoony quality to the world and characters. Nolan tried to make it more real life. That is what anime adaptations need to do.

You're kind of forced to either change the dialogue so that it makes sense, or have it be off to the general audience. Parasite had an issue with this. There's a lot of nuance and depth to the conversations that happen in that movie that is entirely hidden to western audiences.\n\nJapan is also extremely different to the western world. I really recommend watching some Japanese stand-up with subtitles and seeing how extremely unfunny it usually is to a western person. So a 1:1 remake is going to be confusing and uninteresting to western audiences.\n\nIt's also drawn, which means a lot can be done stylistically that isn't going to work as well in real life. Dynamic movements are much harder to pull off and can look both lame and unbelievable in real life. A good example of this is to check out people on YouTube copying stunts from Naruto. They're struggling to pull off the simple flips you probably didn't even notice, and they look way over the top when they copy them in real life.\n\nFinally there shorthand is completely different. You can think of it like picking up your first fantasy novel.

Are all the elves supposed to act like assholes, or are these just dicks? And do on. There's a lot of short hand used in fiction, and we take for granted how well we know it. When you watch the good the bad the ugly, you know who the good guy is from the start, because the director includes the shorthand for the good guy. This can even become it's own entire thing, like with Gaston in Beauty and the Beast and the evil prince in Frozen. We are used to the short hand and so it can be used against us.

I disagree on hardware points completely.... Its true that high end pcs are more powerful on paper but theres much more nuance to it... Your point about ssd and direct storage show you are just wrong sorry... Iam not getting into this because i dont have time.

Can't really get into it.", "That is awesome.", "Oh my", "I remember when this video was posted a while ago, this guy is so talented.

This makes her a better singer technically, but she doesn't have the \"country girl from a small town\" vibes like she used to have on Fearless, or the youthful energy she had on Red, so I think the re-records are actually worse than the originals (except for the new stuff, the features etc. which have been really fun).

If you tap your foot along to the song, you're almost definitely tapping on those beats. If you can start to get a feel for the beginning of each measure, you can figure out which beat is which. At the beginning of the verse or chorus, or at the beginning of a phrase the singer sings, a measure will start, so those are good places to get a feel for it. Once you do, you can count 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 on the beat your foot taps for the rest of the song (you'll notice that it lines up with the beginning and end of every section of the song then). The \"1\" beat in every measure, as well as the \"3,\" are usually accented in the song's melody, so the audience is encouraged to clap on 2 and 4 to add interest to the otherwise \"weak\" beats. \n\nThe whole numbered beats thing is something they teach you about when learning to play musical instruments or taking music classes in general usually pretty early on, but perhaps if you've never taken classes it is a new concept", "Yeah, I’ve seen this video a few times over the years, and I can tell when he adds the extra, but it’s really hard for me to feel the difference between the beginning and the end.

Music can obviously be played at different speeds. But all music usually follows a ‘beat’. Technically, clapping at regular intervals is creating a beat, and in this instance, the beat is the same rate as the speed at which the band is playing their song - but it's just triggering a fraction of a second off beat. It may be useful to imagine two identical clocks and start them about half a second apart. The the 'off beat' clicks would probably drive you mad. \n\nHarry then goes completely off script and adds a few extra piano keys to what he is usually playing (and therefore time to the song) before resuming the regular song and band’s regular beat.

Why do people care if you clap on 1 and 3? Does it really matter?", "1 and 3 are the strongest beats in a bar of 4, so clapping on them sounds like you're either counting time or marching.

This was exacerbated by the fact that, for several months, the majority of LNG (liquefied natural gas) tankers from all over the world were shipping to Asia, where prices were even higher. . . .As a result, Europe is heading into winter without its usual gas reserves. If it gets cold earlier than usual, or stays cold for a particularly long time, European heating and power suppliers will probably end up paying horrendous prices on the spot market. Alternatively, they may increasingly resort to coal and oil, and these would then also become more expensive.

In the wake of a long, cold winter, natural gas reservoirs are unusually low and should, in principle, be refilled very quickly. Russia's state-owned corporation Gazprom could increase supplies.\n\n> The market leader, however, has not done that, despite prices recently reaching a 13-year high. In turn, there is growing concern across Europe that there may be insufficient gas supplies for the upcoming winter. \n\n> . . . \"What's notable, and this is really something new, is that Gazprom obviously fulfills its contracts by taking significantly more gas than usual from reservoirs in Europe and, possibly, even by purchasing trading quantities on the European market. At least, that's what I hear from dealers,\" Lohmann said.\n\n> As a result of this approach, Gazprom's two most important reservoirs in Europe — the first, the largest in the EU, in the northwestern German town of Rehden, the other, in the western Austrian town of Haidach — were almost totally depleted at the beginning of summer, and replenishment has only just begun. \"This is utterly unusual for Gazprom and calls for political interpretation,\" the expert said.\n\nFrom CNBC\n\n> [“Europe has now left itself hostage to Russia over energy supplies,”](https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/07/europe-is-now-a-hostage-to-russia-over-energy.html) said Timothy Ash, emerging markets senior sovereign strategist at Bluebay Asset Management [ one of Europe's largest managers of fixed income credit and alternative investment strategies], in a research note Wednesday, calling the situation “unbelievable.”\n\n>″[It’s] crystal clear that Russia has Europe (the EU and U.K.) in an energy headlock, and Europe (and the U.K.) are too weak to call it out and do anything about it,” he said, calling it a form of “energy blackmail.”\n\n>“Europe is cowering as it fears [that] as it heads into winter Russia will further turn the screws (of energy pipelines off) and allow it to freeze until it gets its way and NS2 is certified.”\n\nFrom the Financial Times\n\n> [Europe risks rolling power outages if there is a prolonged period of cold weather this winter, according to the chief executive of Trafigura, one of the world’s biggest commodity traders.](https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ft.com%2Fcontent%2Fa06df5b2-58ff-46f2-920d-a5ebaca68b11)\n\n> Speaking at the FT Commodities Asia Summit, Jeremy Weir said there was still insufficient natural gas in the region despite the promise of increased flows from Russia.\n\n> “We haven’t got enough gas at the moment quite frankly.

Amazing.", "Can someone please turn on the subtitles?", "That's something that was discussed when a lot of sign interpreters started popping up during COVID briefings. As it turns out sign language interpreters, what they do is essentially bring in a way of signing in their way to show off not only personality but also the way they use their language. It's like describing how their accent comes across in snippets because something like ASL is a rote system in its own right but everyone has their own interpretation. So when it comes to signing there seem to be signs where people will show how they can let others know what their style is and then can elaborate on it in a broader sense and as discussions get nitty-gritty it's easier to gather what's being discussed. Context cues change meaning from person to person but it's because of each individual's interpretation and their accent in their own way.\n\nSign language is different and so wild to me because I just don't get what people with hearing are gesturing in the first place half the time. These folks really have developed an incredible way to communicate that is all vision and for me vision alone is tough to gather because it seems like we're never speaking the same language unless we're all touching the thing we're pointing at and yelling about. \n\nI mean how many times have you miscommunicated or miscued with someone who doesn't speak your language or whose language you don't speak.?\n\nCommunication is such an incredible thing because to get it right it's as though people have to fundamentally connect and it's tough enough to even basically connect with a stranger at times with every sense in working order.\n\nSomeone who knows ASL better can explain it in greater detail but what I've learned from a few sign speakers, hard of hearing or who have worked with deaf people, it's a really cool way to learn a person's personality through how they talk because their accent is more unique than the myriad accents you hear in regional dialects due to the fact that there are fewer people in that situation. I say accent but that's because it's really the only way I can think of it. Accents are learned, like saying caaah in my area for car.

It's hard to say with a sample size of 1 how well his tool generalizes.\n\nThe StuffMadeHere guy sent him a clever lock. The stuff guy realized that the thing that makes pin tumbler locks so pickable is that you can bind the pins and then work on pins in isolation. That means in a N pin lock you really just need to do a few passes over the pins. Let's say 3 passes on a 5 pin lock. In that scenario you just need to try different positions 15 times.\n\nThe reason pin tumbler locks are supposed to be hard to open is because just guessing the correct pin positions is actually the number of depths a pin can be at raised to the number of pins. To see this, imagine the first pin, it can be in K heights, then the second pin can be at K heights, etc. So you end up with K^N combos.\n\nSupposing the above example again with 5 pins and lets say there are 6 depths, that would be 6^5 = 7776, different combinations of pin heights to try. But again we use the tolerances of the lock to \"linearize\" things so instead of picking a height for the first pin, then the second, etc then testing the combo, you find a pin that is preventing the tumbler from turning a push it up until it clears the tumbler. Find a new pin that is binding, rinse and repeat.\n\nWith that out of the way, the stuff guy came up with a clever but overly complicated design where you can't use torque to make pins bind. Forcing a picker back to guessing combinations instead of \"linearizing\" the search.\n\nStuffMadeHere's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7vPNcnYWQ4\n\nLockpickLawyer's video about the lock: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ecy1FBdCRbQ\n\nI think they've had additional back and forth.

This youtuber does not have the ability to location manage his videos (which countries are able/unable to watch it). Youtube told him he can gain this ability if he partners with an MCN, which he does not want to do because of the cost.

It shouldn't be TOEI's problem that he can't/won't location manage his videos. TOEI are well within their rights here. \n\nI know this is frustrating situation for him and all, but I can't help but laugh at https://youtu.be/WAuWk8POxSQ?t=532, where there's a cut in the video right before he starts crying, and where he does the whole I'm getting emotional turn off the camera thing.

Rick Beato has run into similar issues where he will analyze the structure of popular songs and his videos are even more educational than Mark's I'd say and naturally a music teacher is going to want to play parts of songs to ya know teach them. And he's dealt with this a lot and interacted with artists directly and some really are just assholes who block his videos because they just want to be assholes, while others are eager to have more people exposed to their work and are fine with Rick's videos. No one is watching Rick analyzing Stairway to Heaven as a replacement for listening to Stairway to Heaven, and no one is watching Mark's videos on Dragonball or One Piece as a replacement for consuming those properties. In Rick's case too he's even fine with his videos being claimed and the rights holders taking whatever monetization comes from the video as long as they leave the video up, so that is always an option for these rights holders and some of them still just want to be assholes and take it down even though Rick will happily give them all the money the video makes. I know if I made a video game or a show or movie or song and there were people just passionately talking about it in a way that did not hurt the market for my own work at all, I would be totally fine with it and would probably enjoy seeing what people have to say, and even if I were in my rights to take all that stuff down I would feel like a giant asshole if I did because it's not hurting me in any way. \"law abiding citizen\" or \"within legal rights\" does not say anything about the ethics or morals of a situation, there's plenty of people that are giant assholes and have fucked over people without breaking any laws whatsoever, so saying they're within their legal rights still makes them shitheads just not lawbreaking shitheads.

It definitely closed very shortly after, because I was going to the movie theatre that's in the same plaza and I checked on it and they had a sign on the door (this was years ago).", "Had to do a triple double check", "https://nypost.com/2013/05/22/nefarious-kitchen-nightmares-facebook-ranter-had-criminal-past-faces-deportation/\n\nHe was previously banned from entering France and Germany and had a history of drug and extortion charges which he did not disclose to US immigration.

This was one of the only things he really stood up to his wife on. I think Sammy is involved in serious criminal ** and he doesn't want Johnny Law to come poking around and causing any disruptions to the money losing business here. I’m not sure if the fact that they don’t trust anyone else to run the place has anything to do with that, or whether they’re just nuts. If they were smarter, I feel like they could let it run itself. See point #4 for a possible reason for that.\n\n> The place is clearly hemorrhaging money. All those fresh veggies come at a huge premium in Arizona and no one is buying them since no one eats there. This is a tactic to inflate food costs and make the on-the-books profits (from crime) a bit more believable. You have high prices and ‘quality ingredients’ and on its face, it looks like a classy place dealing in high-quality, high-margin food that’s doing very, very well. In reality, they’re buying top-dollar with dirty money and selling nothing.\n\n> Putting all of that money into the facilities, kitchen equipment and the dining area is a way to build tangible equity in a property, paid for by dirty money, of course. This is similar to how house flipping has become the new Las Vegas for cleaning dirty money. Even if you put 100k of criminal money into a house and sell it for 80k, you still made 80k in clean money (and the write off for the business loss – more clean money). And what you ask is Sammi’s other ‘legitimate’ business enterprise? Custom home building. Same ing principle: Build equity in something tangible with dirty money, sell it (at a loss or profit, who gives a ) and money comes clean out the other side.\n\n> The compensation structure for servers is just another money cleaning tactic. The money from tips never hits the books. It’s pocketed immediately and spent on gas, food, clothes etc. All the sorts of stuff that is bought in a day that isn’t traced and is used up (burned, eaten, thrown out etc.) when it’s done. You keep the clean, un-traceable cash coming in (tips), and then pay out more money in wages to lose money so that the money that comes in from crime doesn’t make the place look TOO profitable. If they weren’t so wretched and money hungry they would just let the girls work on tips like most people, but they’re so narcissistic, deluded and downright evil that they think they’re entitled to it and don’t know when to stop.\n\n> They are mean to people because well, they’re nuts, but also because Sammy doesn’t actually give much of a if many people come in or not. If a few quiet, agreeable customers come in and eat, so be it. For Sammy, this place is an annoyance. He hates being there and knows it’s a waste of his legitimate criminal time to have to deal with it. He was just stupid and married a crazy ‘trophy wife’ who thinks she can cook and the less he has to do in a day in terms of dealing with angry customers, the better. Hell, he might have married her BECAUSE he thought she was stupid enough to believe she’s making money when no one comes in. To me that’s why a lot of that bad food is just thrown away; otherwise she gets crazy and causes more disruptions to the fence.\n\n> Ever wonder why he doesn’t know how to use the POS system, but insists on using it? Because one day one of those girls is going to see ALL of these tables and checks listed on there that never actually came in, and then she’ll ask why. Since she knows more about the system than he, she won’t buy the lie he tells her. I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s a small part of the reason for the staff turnover: They don’t want anyone knowing too much.\n\n> Because the thing is, at the end of the day, he can just make up checks and bills and act like all these customers came in and paid them lots of money for food, but just as long as the place isn’t completely empty all the time and then reporting big profits, there shouldn’t be any huge red flags so as long as the taxes keep coming into the IRS and the place keeps a quiet reputation.\n\n> EDIT: Everyone is asking how I reconcile them going on tv for help. _____________________________\nRemember, Amy thinks her problem is not her food, their shared attitude, their sparse staff or her creepy eyes. It's internet haters. That's it. She is perfect in every way. She feels the downturn in her business is due solely to bad publicity. For people with such grandiose self-images, the only way to deal with this would be to go to the very top and have the biggest chef in the world come and say that their food is amazing. Bad publicity problem solved. Note too, those awesome desserts she fed Ramsey, that he really liked, were all store bought. But she claimed they were hers. She does not care about the food in that sense, as she's willing to lie about that as the first step to the good publicity that she thinks is the silver bullet to fixing what she feels to be unjustifiably tarnished public image.\n\n> From Sammy's perspective, I think he's willing to take the small risk of having the cover blown on any laundering operation to sustain a good front and, like his wife, to try to, in his mind, restore the deservedly good reputation the place should rightly have. If he can somehow appease his wife, who I believe has him convinced she can cook, and keep the restaurant full so he doesn't need to butcher the receipts so much, he might be able to stop doing shady ** altogether or at least have a better front. Then, if the restaurant is running well, he can leave it for someone else to operate and he can stay home and watch Scarface 50 times.\n\n> Essentially, I think HIS willingness to take this risk is rooted in their shared delusions about their own self values and they are willing to take the most drastic of measures to keep them as high as possible.", "Holy crap what the hell happened to my comment thread I'm so confused.", "[Think of the children!](https://i.imgur.com/Zk2AHQI.gif)", "No, [This is America](https://youtu.be/VYOjWnS4cMY)", "Amy's Baking Company permanently closed on September 1, 2015.

Imagine caring about any of this crap.", "I don't know how to feel about most of this video. Using fox news and a clip from joe rogan isn't exactly something i'd call a source. Overall the video seemed to criticize capitalism and the problems that arise from it. Corportations will always go in the direction of profit no matter the outcome or ethical concerns that might arise from their actions. What he seems to want is a change in laws and regulations concerning freedom of speech and censorship for social media corporations. Holding the USA as a bastion of free speech yet completely disregarding the fact that the same country is responsible for letting corporations destroy it seems hypocritical. Overall good video it's worth the watch thought I would take half of it with a grain of salt. The core message is something I think we should all agree with though. Then again I am pretty fucking stupid and wasting my time writing this shit so you know it be what it be.", "I agree with your sentiment here for sure. Some of the specific things he said like that USA was the first to realize the importance of free speech I feel can be debated (like wasn't democracy first brought out in Ancient Greece, which had avenues for free speech to take place? I don't know though) But I think the fox/Joe Rogan clips were just picked that support his point/argument which I think is fair enough, though admittedly I can see why some people would immediately be polarized by it, especially with Tucker Carlson or even Joe being who they are.\n\nBut yeah definitely a good video for the general information it portrays as it gives a good sense of what can happen to these places that so many people see as immune to certain pressures, especially nowadays where misinformation and what people are exposed to vs what's actually going on is so prevalent.", "He doesn't sound fat to me?

I mean, that's all it is. These guys just took an organic, fringe forum and rebranded it. 4chan realized that what people want is an anonymous forum where people feel free to express themselves. Turns out people expressing themselves is about sex and violence and offensive opinions, conspiracy theories etc. But just look at what we watch, is not hbo sex and violence, Django unchained go unchained or American history x or all the true crime shows as well as reality television.
