He was, and was part of the reason remain failed because they thought it would be an easy win

Interesting, fair enough, that makes sense. So your receiver was getting a 5.1 signal, but it really did just ignore half the channels when you set it to output 2.1.

That’s not the problem I think most people here are complaining about though, which is sound mixing / dynamic range / editing making speech too quiet, rather than having the wrong settings.

I don’t think missing channels get muted, they just get shared into what’s available. A 5.1 soundtrack played on a 2.1 system is going to share Centre between L and R, and put SL onto L and SR onto R. I have an old surround sound system that can’t decode the new codecs that Disney plus etc use, but the Chromecast knows this so just sends it out a 2 channel boring signal. Dialogue is fine because it just goes to the two speakers equally, rather than be cut out. If your system is set up to output to 5.1 speakers but you just haven’t plugged in the centre speaker, then that’s a different thing and you would miss stuff, same as if you didn’t plug in the front left speaker.

I think the atmosphere can increase in volume when it gets warm because it’s not a proper closed system, so the pressure doesn’t go up in the same way.

I too watched veritasium today

They meant to say you interpreted the comment incorrectly, but that got autowronged to “commenting correctly”.

They mean outrun in terms of acceleration/speed in a straight line, not outlast

Why are they so far away? There is logic to what you’re saying, according to this website Americans drive on average twice as far as Italians/Germans etc. so if you scale by that America is still slightly higher but not as bad.

Have you got the customisation service turned on in settings? I’ve never seen an ad in my notifications and until recently I was using a Samsung of similar age.

You’re right, but I think the idea of Farage being in charge of pushing through any sorts of ideas (even if it’s reforms that are good) is making people uncomfortable, which is what could be read from your first comment.

I think people don’t like your suggestion/implication of Farage being the one pushing through reforms more than liking Tories.

That is well cool

The radioactive source isn’t used for power in smoke detectors, it’s used to detect smoke. What small scale devices use radioactivity actually for power?

They’ll test it on the ground and flying slowly first before going fast to make sure it’s safe enough.

Some phones can already do that, like wireless powershare (Samsung)

Yeah it’s not quite as simple as I put in my comment

We also have national insurance and a tax free allowance, so the effective rate for someone at say £54k (about €62k) would be about 25% https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/tax-calculator/ I think I’ve worked that out right.

£125,140 a year you pay 45% income tax. But it’s not quite that simple because you don’t pay 45% on everything, just whatever is earned above that and the other thresholds https://www.gov.uk/income-tax-rates
