I’ve heard Amazon music will only shuffle through blocks of 500 songs at a time. So for my 700 song playlist, if I start with the first song on the list and hit Random, it will only shuffle the first 500 songs. But if I choose a song above number 200, it will be able to shuffle through all 700 songs supposedly.

I haven’t tried this out myself, but it would explain why I never hear the newest songs on my playlist when I shuffle.

It is fair to criticize his decision to go with their decision. It is not fair to say he decided to drop Macklemore. There is a difference there and I think we should acknowledge that.

Ed’s choices here are not easy to make. If he sides completely with Macklemore and cancel the rest of the tour, then lots of people would suddenly be out of a job. If it were me that is the last thing I would want to do. I will say that he definitely could have handled this situation in a much better way by expressing his personal opinions more clearly and speaking out against Macklemore being dropped. But understand Ed is a politically loud person, so it isn’t in his nature to act that way. There are plenty of things about his reaction criticize here, but saying he is responsible for Macklemore being dropped is insincere. He likely could have and should have done more to fight this, but he isn’t the cause.

In a lengthy new statement posted to Instagram, Ed Sheeran said the decision to drop Macklemore from his tour was not his but that of the promoter Messina Touring Group, combined with pressure from venues.

The production company dropped Macklemore, Ed did not have a contract with Macklemore. Ed didn’t cause any of this, he just didn’t speak up when he should have.

This shit is the dean’s beans man

My spouse has discovered enzymes that need hot water to activate and eat away at laundry stains. So we recently had our laundry sitting in a sous vide bath and everything came out super clean!

OK

Watch him eating a hot dog, he’s tearing at with his fingers like a spider prepping and eating it’s prey.

I feel like a lot the reason for this is likely tied to the DOGE cuts that cut funds for local and state authorities. 250th anniversary plans all over the US were cancelled because their funds were cut. So nowhere around town did I see any signs or anything celebrating our 250th anniversary. The local 4th of July fireworks show was very underwhelming this year as well.

Like I knew it was our 250th anniversary, but I never truly realized it until afterwards. I realized that the reason for that was that there was no hype over it, no build up or anything.

That battle was super disappointing, so I wouldn’t feel bad about missing it.

Yes, that’s the one. Thanks for finding that!

That’s a damn good explanation, thanks!

I need a THDU on that one…

Too hard, didn’t understand.

There’s no confirmed cause, but there is a higher rate of ALS among professional football players. I don’t have a link to the study on hand, but it points to the possibility that high contact sports may put one at more risk for ALS.

Did you look in their showers? There’s perfectly good shampoo you can use for that /s

If you washing machine has a Bedding setting then try using that. It prevents this from happening, at least of front loading machines.

Or 907 kg. So almost a metric ton, which is 1,000 kg (or 1.000 kg for some).

This shit isn’t at all confusing /s

In regard to speed, the speed of light is actually the speed of causality, which is the absolute limit at which one event can influence another. It is an absolute speed limit. Light can travel at this speed limit because it is a massless particle/wave. Anything with mass would need to have infinite energy to travel at the speed of light because the faster something is traveling, the more energy it takes to accelerate it further.

Inside the event horizon, these same rules apply because it is still space and time inside the event horizon. Even light that is traveling at the speed limit cannot escape. You just can’t go fast enough to escape once you are inside the event horizon, because the speed limit of the universe prevents you from going fast enough to escape. Basically you would be on your way to being spaghetti-fied as you approach the black hole, or maybe not. There is a whole lot we don’t know about the inside of black holes, so who knows what could happen in there. There are theories that say that super massive black holes could have different effects on things, but I only know of them and not how to explain them.

Outside of the event horizon, you can technically escape by accelerating away. But it would require so much energy that you wouldn’t want to cut it close, I would think.

Gravity does bend space and that does cause light to curve along with space. If there’s enough mass, it can bend space enough to essentially make a lens that can magnify light coming from behind. A black hole can bend space so much you can see the opposite side of its accretion disk above and below the event horizon.

If you’re interested, I watch a lot of Antov Petrov, Cool Worlds, Dr. Becky, and PBS Space Time on YouTube. That’s where I have learned most of this stuff. PBS Space Time can be a bit hardcore sometimes, but they have tons of information.

Black holes warp the fabric of space so much that not even light can escape once it passes the event horizon.

It has nothing to do with speed, it’s simply that all possible paths lead into the black hole. Photons travel through the fabric of space like a car on a road. The car can’t go off the road, so if the road curves, the car will have to curve with the road.

There’s a lot more to it, but the most simple way to think about it is that a black hole’s gravity is so strong, it warps space itself. And this warping of space basically acts like a funnel that funnels everything to the center of the black hole. Once an object or particle or whatever passes the event horizon (the point of no return) it is basically being funneled into the black hole by the fabric of space being twisted into the black hole.

Thank you, I was drinking myself mad trying to find that 🤣
