The need to transcode is based on the media formats supported by the tv. Only Sony and high end LGs have the right support to play blurays. Some tvs struggle to play files that have many different subtitle formats embedded in them as well which is also common for Blu-ray rips.
The subtitles will be the first file in the list of the media unless you select regular subtitle language in the menu under playback under the account symbol in the top right hand corner.
Lots of business logic can contradict the business logic that is applied to government. Often because the people applying it aren’t concerned about efficiency at all, they just want to steal or disempower the government.
Often the government is encouraged to outsource or privatise its services. The most efficient businesses don’t do this. They are vertically integrated, Starbucks makes their own cups and this leads to more profit as they don’t lose out on paying for the cup manufacturers profit. Therefore the government should look to own most of their services not outsource or privatise them.
Highly efficient business use extra cash to invest in the business, to make more money in the following years. They don’t cut and stripe services, unless the business is failing. Therefore the government should use its cash to make its services more effective in the longer term.
Government can be capable and competent. It’ll never be the case when we elect people that think government is inherently inefficient. Ideally everyone gets one vote and so we all have an equal say in how the government handles things. When the government is weak each individuals power is weaker and wealth becomes a bigger factor in how our society is run. I think this is the prime motivation of neoliberals, less liberty for the individual (working people) more for liberty for money.
A good contrast to the approach of delivering government services in the UK is Scotland. Water supply in Scotland is by a company that the Scottish Goverment owns. People in Scotland use more water per person than the rest of the UK, the quality of the water supply is the highest in the UK and the price is the lowest. At the end of the year the Scottish goverment often gets money back from Scottish Water. In England the water companies require heavy subsidies, pollute water ways at a higher rate, limit water due to droughts (their is enough water just the amount of leaks causes this to be lost) and charge based on metered consumption. Privatisation of water doesn’t work for most people. Now in England the water companies have people over the barrel. To such an extent they can extort the tax payer for their poor performance. Business logic wouldn’t tolerate this. They would not source water from such businesses and would become their own supplier if they had the capital to do so.
The UK has seen a rise in infant mortality, which has been linked to this practice among the Muslim communities in the UK. This is probably what motivates this legislation. It is evidence based.
A glass may have a spec that allows it to be filled to the brim. Doesn’t mean it’s a good idea, especially when you want to run up stairs with it.
Your going to spill water everywhere.
His plan was to force Ukraine to agree to the terms Russia sets and loudly proclaim that he did the best deal and made it all happen. Reality doesn’t matter to his supporters.
Because there are so many small parts to a processor you need 99.99+% at most stages to stand any chance of mass production. In this context 60-70% is seriously impressive. Millions of things have to be done right to get this type of yield.
I assume M$ take procurement out to the best meals.
Your not doing your own research. Your likley not capable of doing such research. Your doctor also isn’t doing their own research. Your doctor does take the knowledge and guidance from those that do research after they’ve done it and it’s be reviewed and validated by national healthcare standards agency.
Much like documentaries much of the available information online that’s accessible and engaging is just entertainment wrapped packaged like your learning something. Especially when your sources lead you to think herbal medicine is a better alternative.
The stuff that works in herbal medicine have been studied and improved in modern medicine. The two can’t and shouldn’t be equated. Anyone claiming herbal medicine should be respected and not condemned is a crook and/or idiot. Most proponents are crooks, trying to sell things they know or don’t care if they work.
Things like paracetamol and lithium have a basis in herbal medicine. Paracetamol was improved to stop the horrendous damage the herbal medicine did to your kidneys. Lithium was quantified and controlled to minimise the impact of taking a toxic mental (Lithium was sold as natural healing waters found in springs, it was scientist investigating these waters that identified lithium as an element), newer less toxic medicines are now available for these conditions.
Medicine displaced herbal remedies. The regulation of medicine means the only practionationers of herbal medicines are unregulated crooks.
That’s just the state and the states employees civil servants. You’ve made a new definition and claimed something exists because you’ve subverted the meaning.
Politicians don’t, and never have run government. That’s not their job. The job of a politician is to decide legislation and policy of the state. This is carried out by civil servants.
It doesn’t seem in the ISPs interest to pursue, they would just lose customers. Unless they also provide cable/satellite television services.
Churchills attitude and comments about it suggests otherwise. He was hailed as an evil cruel racist, not in retrospect, but during the war. Churchill wasn’t well liked, as people think he was during his time. The people that think Churchill was one of Britain best PMs have only a basic understanding of British history. Churchill was immediately voted out as soon as elections resumed. When he got back in a PM his party had less votes than the opposition.
It’s so they have more people to put into the meat grinder.
Ukraine isn’t the end game for Russia.
ISPs don’t see domains. Unless they control your DNS. I assume fast.com uses the same servers as Netflix and would have the same IP address, which would only be resolved to fast.com or Netflix inside Netflix’s servers. I think this is a fair assumption, as that’s the biggest benefit to Netflix. They want to prove your ISP is the problem not Netflix.
They would. Anyone seriously attempting it in their country would have already accept the possibility of all out war with Israel.
Countries like Canada and those in western Europe have stronger military alliances than Israel. They also have a better network of procuring arms, blocking and sanctioning (long term) and are likely to win in a total war senario. Israel’s main backer (USA), would be compelled by NATO to support the NATO members over Israel. Without the US arms, intelligence and presence Israel would be invaded by its neighbours (this doesn’t justify Israel’s current actions, I believe it was entirely possible for Israel to make an acceptable peace with their neighbours - they choose not to and use the consequences of their actions to justify their actions ).
When your doing something like arresting a genocidial head of state, you don’t send a couple of police officers. You send multiple armoured vehicles, hundreds of soldiers and some air support. His security will surrender, aid in his arrest or be shot. The first two are more likely. Israel would rather contest this legally and politically than with might. If the body guards start resisting in anyway then their legal and political case falls apart. It’s all out war of which they will eventually lose and be overrun by their neighbours. Unless NATO invades Israel and decides to provide security for several years.
War crimes are mutually agreed by close to parity powers. Crowd control isn’t. One group decides what is acceptable and what isn’t. I would be surprised if any government allow citizens the right to use CS gas on their police force.
They aren’t going to reevaluate crowd control tactics because the crowd don’t have the power to force a change.
Citric acid can be a more useful alternative: easier to increase strength as it is a powder and doesn’t have much of a smell. It also a useful ingredient for making cheese sauces, ice cream and desserts.
Too long in the dryer and they cook. Think of dryered flowers, they go brittle and scratchy when they’ve been dried. When those same flowers are fresh their petals are soft.
Fabric softener is a scam. It just coats your clothes in plastic. It will lead to rougher clothes over time.
Your likely over drying your clothes and causing them to be harder and coarser than they need to. Your then compensating with fabric softener.
This is blatant ignorance and misinformation. Infant mortality is and has been decreasing outside the Muslim communities in the UK. The people trying to pass the laws are doing to stop Muslim children dieing.
Not only do children die because of it, they are also more likely to suffer illnesses and disability. Disability that impact their IQ and result in them making comments like yours.
