The lack of Silverado disturbs me.

My list would #1 the good the bad and the ugly and include the treasure of the Sierra Madre, true grit remake, no country for old men, Ballard of buster scrugs, 3:10 to Yuma remake, Django unchained, blazing saddles, dances with wolves, and tombstone.

No 'Go West' by the Marx Brothers always bothers me, even though I understand most people don't mean a comedy, when they say western.

hakunawazo ,

As you mentioned comedy, the partly comedy, partly lovely-hommage to classic Spaghetti-western "My name is nobody" would appear somewhere on my list.

Looks like the author forgot the header for number 3: Snowpiercer.

Anybody here subscribe to the theory that Snowpiercer is a sequel to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? Once heard I can't unsee it.

Leg ,

I'm here for it. The fact that there are areas practically made for oompa loompas sells it for me.

How can you make a list of the best eat the rich movies without the movie Eat The Rich? How can lemmy stand for this when the movie stars Lemmy of Motorhead?

Did you watch the show Ripley? Highly recommended if you haven’t yet.

@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

I didn't know there was a SHOW...

Lifecoach5000 ,

The film was alright but the show takes it to whole other level with many aspects IMO. Stunning cinematography, great writing and acting.

@Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world avatar

Let's say I abandon my car for an e bike.

I have one route into town, a freeway feeder road with no sidewalk. the speed limit is 45 to 50 miles an hour depending on the stretch (crosses a county line). The most likely scenario is I get honked at every day by large trucks and SUVs in my area, and one day get hit and probably killed by one of them.

I'll stick with my car until infrastructure improves and if that makes me "part of the problem" so be it, at least I'm alive and not a pink paste on the concrete

maynarkh ,

IMO that does not make you part of the problem but a victim of it.

Hawke ,

I have one route into town, a freeway feeder road with no sidewalk.

I have some doubts that such a place exist. Got an example?

Exactly, Texas lmao

DudeImMacGyver OP ,

MANY places like this exist in America unfortunately. Their point is valid, it's super fucked up and part of the reason cyclists have been harassed, attacked, and even murdered.

Hawke ,

Got any examples? I live in the Midwest and while yes major highways are the main roads obviously, there are always smaller state/county roads as well.

DudeImMacGyver OP ,

Some of which are 45+ mph with no sidewalks, never mind bike lanes. Hop on Google maps and see for yourself, they are hardly rare.

Hawke ,

Speed limit isn’t everything, I’m way more worried about traffic levels than speed.

All about the likelihood of encountering an idiot/asshole, less about whether they hit you at 25 vs 45

IsThisAnAI ,

The most likely scenario is you'll be just fine. We're taking about 1000 people a year.

We should improve biking infrastructure and make it easier, but it's really not as dangerous as you make it out to be.

vividspecter ,

You can be part of the solution by advocating for protected bike lanes, sidewalks, lane reduction, and general traffic calming measures. And voting against anybody that complains about the "war on cars" or uses the word woke as an insult (because they are always carbrains too).

My Abound came equipped with an optional bamboo board and handrail for the rear rack, which allowed me to take our friends’ small son — who is always eager to join in on any fun there is to be had — on a ride around the neighborhood. Since they live only a few doors down, this rapidly became a routine, and this helped me realize that cargo bikes are excellent options for folks who need to bring little ones with them on their trips.

Is that legal? Here in NM it is illegal to have anyone on a bike without there being a specific seat for them.

And something i never see any of these articles address is transporting dogs.

Cort ,

I think the bamboo board could be considered a seat. Plus the additional hand rails and foot rests in the back. I think that law was meant to prevent people from sitting on handlebars or riding on pegs.

And dogs of any substantial size are difficult to get on bikes without training. You could easily fit a Chihuahua or Yorkie on there, but a lab or retriever would be tough and need to be taught to not jump down mid ride.

This is how I sometimes take my dog on my bike for short trips:

dog sitting in a tub secured on the rear rack of a cargo bike

But the best way to transport dogs is using a trailer. That tub takes the place of the rear seat; so to transport kids and the dog at the same time I'd need a trailer.

Creat ,

What about the back of the bike isn't "a specific seat" to you? It has foot rests, and typically on bikes of that type you can add retention stuff for smaller kids.

kae , to Android in I compared Google and Samsung’s AI photo-editing tools. It’s not even close.

TL;DR: Samsung is better, according to the author.

Some questions remain though, as Google's Magic Eraser gives multiple options for object removal. Some are quite bad or blotchy, others are nearly seamless. Don't like any of the options it's provided, then ask it to try again. The author doesn't touch on this at all. Did they select the first option everytime? Was this the best of the options they were provided?

Better guess: they were incentivized to only delve as far as they did.

surewhynotlem , to Android in I compared Google and Samsung’s AI photo-editing tools. It’s not even close.

"If you need quick and basic object removal edits, Magic Eraser remains a solid tool. But as you can see, at least with this selection of photos, Samsung’s Object Eraser is better — considerably so in some instances. Unfortunately, it’s more limited in terms of devices that it is available on, as you’ll need a Samsung device to access it. "

sbv ,

Magic Eraser is pretty hokey. Every time I use it, I need to wait for a while, and then I get a smeary result that I don't want.

astanix ,

I've not used magic eraser but I just now installed Samsungs version and used it. It was pretty fast but also very smeary as well.

We need to come up with a new phrase for this kind of LLM-spouted word salad that just manages to set off your linguistic uncanny valley response and use just about 20% more words than it needs to.

@HeavyDogFeet@lemmy.world avatar

What a useless headline. God forbid they just give the actual capacity rather than some abstract, bullshit, flexible measure that means nothing to anyone.

MasterHound ,

They have to make it as accessible a headline as possible, especially when most don't read past the headline anyway these days. The average person probably doesn't have much of an idea as to what 125TB looks like in real world use.

ShepherdPie ,

I'd argue that most people would have a better idea of what 125TB looks like than knowing the size of a 4k movie file, let alone 14,000 of them. They can at least compare 125TB to their 500GB/1TB phone/computer storage.

Not to mention there's nearly 10x difference in bitrate between 4K streaming video and actual 4K HDR off a bluray. The only people who know how big a 4K video is these days are nerds and pirates, because it's not like Netflix tells you.

PositivePossum ,

200TB

Woah, I can't wait to never afford that!

femtech ,

So like, 5-6 uncompressed 4k movies
