On first glance, this was so clearly a beautiful render of a bad Minecraft landscape generation

If that's a joke, I don't get it.

If that's real, I don't know why.

Help?

When you talk about a sample, what does that actually mean? Like I recognize that the frequency of oscillations will tell me the pitch of something, but how does that actually translate to a chunk of data that is useful?

You mention a sample being stored as a number, which makes sense, but how is that number utilized? Again assuming uncompressed, if my sample "value" comes up as 420, does that include all of the necessary components of that sound bite in a 1/44100th of a second? How would a sample at value 421 compare? Is this like a RGB type situation where you'd have multiple values corresponding to different attributes of the sample (amplitude, frequencies, and I'm sure other things)? Is a single sample actually intelligible in isolation?

Not gonna lie, that's some crazy decent editing for a joke

I did always wonder the logistics behind that. Did those businesses get reimbursed from the contest runners? I like the idea of them trading in their piles of caps for cash

Do they need a "strategy" when the whole point of a primary is to find a suitable candidate?

Amusing that Jerry is omitted from that screenshot

In the same way that watching porn on public transit is a social no-no

I think you're taking it the wrong way. I understand it as "anything negative about Biden, is also true about Trump"

  • Biden is old, so is Trump
  • Biden struggles speaking cohesively, so does Trump
  • etc.
