Similarly, in Battlefield 2, if you played Commander you could zoom in for a pretty good live feed of the battlefield so you could call out soldiers if one of your squads was in a fight. In addition to that you could do a full radar sweep of the full map that would put markers on enemy positions.

Anytime I did the full sweep and saw one or two soldiers waaaay outside of any fight, I knew they were either another Commander or a camper. So I’d do what they call “Car-tillery”, and call a friendly jeep right on top of their heads. Bonus points if it was windy and you still got the angle right.

It became such an issue that servers would specifically ban Car-tillery, and if you were caught you’d usually get kicked. Good times, good times

That’s igneous, stop being igneous.

Similarly Best Buy’s brand, Insignia, is a mix mashed TV full of components from other TV brands (unless that has changed in the last 4 years). They’re usually the ones to go on deep discount but, due to the nature of the internals not being from one company, they’re nearly impossible to repair.

So, although your Insignia may last a year and a half or two, the Sharp panel may fail, the Phillips backlight could fail, or the PCB from Samsung could fail, adding to more e-waste.

Are you a purist that says ketchup doesn’t belong on hot dogs too?

I’m a music producer and there is/was a “Loudness War” and several people say loud won. To clarify: for your tracks to qualify when uploading them to Spotify I believe they have to be a minimum of -10 LUFS. I’m not going to pretend that I know what a LUFS is fully, but I have software to tell me where my LUFS is at. If you don’t hit at least -10 LUFS they will fake it for you, with usually terrible results.

So now all producers are mixing to -10 LUFS and higher (-8 or -9), all for the sake of possibly getting radio play in the future, although not all music sounds good when mixed so damn loudly. I know this is tangentially related but

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Onions, yes. Spices and cheese? What?
