Imagine how off the scale futuristically high tech this forum is:

Don't need to update it, thus you don't need an appstore account to update either, yet you can still access it on weekly basis without update. You can access it from any IP hassle free. And you can read as much as you want, with being cockblocked by "UsE oUr ApP".

So this forum is like utopically futuristic, reminds me of that communication network they invented in the cold war: int... internet? Totally negligable pipedream that was, as if you could just transmit text without ripping out and replacing the whole software environment, lol.

Yeah seriously - I was just trying to access the Instagram for Celeste, for no reason in particular, and it keeps blocking me when I scroll down a certain amount.  So I try to log in with Facebook (great, now I've technically logged into Facebook today, it even flashed my notifications) and it tells me to choose a username, but Rolan7 is taken.  And so is Rolan777??  And I try to log in as Rolan7 but the usual passwords-for-shitty-sites aren't working, and I give up.

If only there was a better way!

Language is weird.

Norwegian is a bit of a contextual language. I caught myself ruminating a couple days ago about how the word "blad" means anything from a plant leaf, to a magazine (literature), to the blade of a razor depending on what makes most sense in context.


And then we get fantastic structuring/usage like this:

Q: "Har du skjerf?" [Do you have a scarf?]

A: "Nei, men jeg har hatt" [No, but I used to/No, but I have a hat]

the word "blad" means anything from a plant leaf, to a magazine (literature), to the blade of a razor depending on what makes most sense in context.

These three all mean the same thing though

Two are just making imagery

[Naturegirl1999]

Paper is made of various plant parts, not just leaves, also, a razor is very different than leaves, unless you’re specifically talking about sharp leaves, which do exist

[scriver]

And noses and ears and mouths are not actual noses and ears and mouths but just imagery made because they extend on the coastline like noses and ears to on the head (or in the case of mouths the opposite).

Paper is not called leaves because of what they're made of. They're called that because they're thin and frail, like leaves. (Magazines being called "blad" is the equivalent of "papers" in English).

Blades are called leaves because they're thin and long, like leaves often are. And often pointy or sharp, like many kinds of leaves are.

Rasierblatt, Laubblatt, Papierblatt. Also never heard it but "feuille de rasoir" sounds kinda legit too, when put besides feuille d'arbre et feuille de papier.

[voliol]

English has it too, a sheet of paper in a book, magazine etc. is called a leaf, with a page printed on each side. Also in leaflet. As for the ”razor blade”, the etymology is shared with Norwegian ”blad” and German ”Blatt”, even if English has lost the original meaning of ”leaf” in all cases but when referring to the leaves of grass, which are indeed called blades.

My eyes are watering and I don’t know why, it feels like tears but I don’t understand what I’d be crying about, there’s no sadness, just the watering, does this happen to anyone else? There’s nothing in them, so that can’t be ot

[dragdeler]

Sometimes my eyes get runny or super itchy (only throwing water on them still helps) late in the night. It´s allways because of eyestrain or excessive yawning in those cases.


Allergies might be another explenation.

The FFmpeg settings you need to set for Discord-embedded videos to play consistently on mobile are:
Codec: H.264 (VP9 works nicely on Android, but you risk losing compatibility with older Apple devices)
Pixel format: YUV 4:2:0 (-pix_fmt yuv420p)
Resolution: Theoretically anything, but safest to stick to the standard set of {144p, 240p, 360p, 480p, 720p...}...
If using MP4 as a container format: set -movflags faststart to allow for streaming.

Thus, the bare minimum FFmpeg command you need is:

ffmpeg -i in.mkv -c:v libx264 -movflags faststart -pix_fmt yuv420p out.mp4

What I normally do is:

ffmpeg -i video.mkv -i audio.m4a -c:v libx264 -movflags faststart -pix_fmt yuv420p -crf 28 -preset slow -c:a copy out.mp4

And if I was dumb and downloaded the Opus audio instead of AAC:

ffmpeg -i video.mkv -i audio.opus -c:v libx264 -movflags faststart -pix_fmt yuv420p -crf 28 -preset slow -c:a aac -b:a 128k out.mp4

Yes, CRF 28. Hey, at least it lets me upload ~1 minute of 480p video + audio within the Nitro-less 8 MB limit.
