I have a story, so I get wanting great video quality and why people get remuxes, but I have a friend who is borderline legally blind. His vision is so poor that he has to wear contacts and glasses at the same time. He has to get the remux version of things and complains about minor encoding artificacts from versions of things with smaller file sizes that I feel wouldn’t bother 99.9% of the population. Hell years ago, before he got an updated prescription, he was driving and he mentioned how bad his vision was getting and I asked him if he could read the license plate for the car stopped in front of us and he laughed and said no. Anyway, I feel like the extra quality is wasted on him. He’s like an audiophile who is hard of hearing. I just find this funny and wanted to share.

Sadly this isn’t the first time. Years ago I read a story about a man who took his mother to get an MRI. While he was there his gun went off and killed her.

I say “six oh five,” but with numbers, I say “zero” or “oh.”

In 'merica, we love to grab the door and shake it or look through the 2 inch gap to check if it’s occupied 🇺🇲

The mega travel center in the South Eastern US, called Buc-ee’s, does have these indicators. However the last time my family was there, my wife encountered a Karen who was concerned she couldn’t tell which stalls were open and my wife pointed out the red occupied/green unoccupied indicator on the locks and she was like, “No, I don’t know, I’ll wait for someone to leave.”

I think the main take away is that this applies to most, if not all, publicly traded companies?

Do you mean communities? An instance is a server, like lemmy.world or lemmy.today.

If so, yes, I see interesting trending communities and once I go there, it’s empty. At least say hi or something, people!

After looking it up, you can find reports from others stating the same things. When I was there as a kid, I remember that they claimed no one knew where the source of the water came from… I guess they actually know enough to help it out at least, lol

I really enjoyed it and would like to go again, but it’s no Mammoth Cave.
