"Oh So Very Many Questions Than Before Not Worth Their Own Thread" Thread Vol. XXVI

A professional tripod isn't necessary, there are cheap ones. But if you don't want to go that route, then figure out how you can place a camera on a table or something and know what space it is aimed at. Then get it aimed as carefully as you can, and set the timer and get into the spot you picked. I think every digital camera will have a 10 second delay option on it somehow.

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

I want to watch Cosmos.
I found the official link but because I'm a damn dirty foreigner I cannot watch it. How do I convince that website i'm actually a proud, 'merican?

I can watch it in Scotland?

You could also probably use a mirror.

Most of it is only available on the secret Internet that only Americans can use.

If you just need the US proxy, I recommend MediaHint. No forced redirect ads as with Hola.

Do you, by any chance, happen to have a computer bought in the US? Maybe you're being identified as a US user?

 

[Mango Elephant]

No, I was replying to CivGeneral. I don't know why you wouldn't use a mirror to take a picture. As long the photo doesn't look trashy.

I usually don't mind ads. I don't mind content providers getting some income. I don't begrudge the streamers on twitch their revenue, nor did I mind YouTube doing it for years. But screw 'em, I give up. There are too many 30 second HD ads that take my internet 3 minutes to load every time I start a video. Surfing for things I haven't seen is like getting 70-80% ads to content. Thank you Google, I now am a filthy adblocker. Good show.

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

Age-standardised disability-adjusted life year rates from Fires by country (per 100,000 inhabitants), 2004.

Do I even want to know what's going on in Angola, Somalia, Russia, Yemen, the Indian subcontinent, and Laos?

 

[Tee Kay]

Indian subcontinent: I'm guessing dangerous gas stoves + crumbling electrical infrastructure + shoddy construction + crowdedness + random insurgencies ?

Laos: I... don't know. That's weird.

Also, dat Paraguay ruining the Americas record.

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

Paraguay's used to being devastated with fire anyway.

Spoiler :

Too soon?

Lots of cooking over open fires, improvised wood and charcoal stoves, or old worn out wood and charcoal stoves.
