Thanks, I'll give that a look.

Lorillard CEO talking about ecigs. Very encouraging! by neloishin electronic_cigarette

[–]riplin 1 point2 points ago

The whole nicotine level regulation is kind of silly. Even with cigarettes, which are heavily regulated, there's nothing stopping me from lighting up 5 cigarettes at once, so what was the point of regulating it?

The only reason they want it regulated is to ban 'mom and pop' stores. BT buys all the ecig companies that sell prefilled carto's and wham. They own the market.

So say goodbye to blank cartomizers / tanks / mods. It's all going to be heavily taxed, prefilled carto's. It wouldn't surprise me if eventually the TCO of vaping would be higher than regular smoking, justified by all the arguments we have for switching to it in the first place (minus the "it's cheaper argument").

Then explain to me how Peter Jackson landed the Lord of the Rings trilogy? The best thing he did before that was The Frighteners.

And an even longer way of being adopted by the general public. You're simply not going to see the difference between 1080p and 4k unless you've got a huge screen.

Do you think they could ban selling PG or VG nicotine bases?

Can't you just sell flavorless e-juice with separate, nicotine free flavor packs? Just combine the two and you're good to go? I wouldn't mind having to mix two bottles.

I'm excited to get my iPhone 4s tomorrow. How do I get the most out of it? by not_worth_your_timein iphone

[–]riplin 1 point2 points ago

The glass on the iPhone is treated with an oleophobic coating to minimize smudges and to make cleaning a lot easier. Generally, if you carry your phone in your pocket, most of the time, when you take it out, it's cleaned by the inside of your pocket.

If you put a screen protector on it (plastic) you either get smudges again or you have to go for a matte screen protector. Personally, I try to be as careful as I can with my phone to avoid scratching it rather than putting a screen protector on it. I find screen protectors rather ugly.

If you don't care about the oleophobic layer that is.

Princeton scientists say, if found, alien life won't resemble familiar forms by Pandaemoniumin science

[–]riplin 1 point2 points ago

Given a biological entity, and a particular environment, there is no guarantee that the same mutation may occur.

True, but that is irrelevant. It's the reoccurrence of concepts what he's arguing. Being able to move, being able to perceive the world around you, being able to gauge distance (predator) or have omni directional input (prey), being able to digest food, transport through the body of nutrients, reproduction, etc.

Those are all basic concepts. How they manifest themselves can be completely different from here, but I'm pretty sure some of them will be present in alien life.

Is the Provari REALLY worth $150 more than a Lavatube? by Jessesmithcain electronic_cigarette

[–]riplin 4 points5 points ago

I stand corrected.

Is the Provari REALLY worth $150 more than a Lavatube? by Jessesmithcain electronic_cigarette

[–]riplin 2 points3 points ago*

I have an eGo a Lava Tube and a ProVari.

I went from the eGo to the Lava Tube because I didn't like the battery life of the eGo. Also, it's a closed system (no vent hole) so if you have any battery issues it's a dangerous thing to hold in your hand.

The Lava Tube felt cheap, light, the bottom cap is plastic so the potential of it breaking when dropped is considerable. In my case, the vape button was finnicky and would only fire if you pressed it in a certain way. It also didn't heat up the coils very fast, but that may have been due to the batteries they shipped with it. I'm still lobbing it in with the Lava Tube, because I got it as a single order.

So I got a ProVari (complete with batteries), because I value piece of mind. I want a no worries setup (still looking for the ultimate tank solution). The ProVari does what it says on the tin. And it does it with grace and elegance. The build is excellent, it feels good, a solid vape button, and it has a nice weight to it. It's a completely different experience from the other two setups.

But if you don't care about stuff like that, then you shouldn't get a ProVari.

Oh, make sure you dump out the original subtitle tracks in step 4, so you don't accidentally select the wrong track in handbrake and mess things up. :)

Oh, forgot to mention: If you just want to download subtitles and mux them into your m4v files, then use Subler.

-Open your m4v, make sure all the streams are checked (somehow it deselects the chapters stream sometimes).

-Click the little + thingy to add your .srt file.

-Select the language in the drop down box for your subtitle.

-Select save as from the file menu, check off the 64 bit checkboxes if your file is larger than 4gb and it should mux it right in.

This is a lot faster than the other method.

Also, you'll probably want to add info to your mv4's. I use iDentify 2. Awesome little tool. It'll automatically download all the info, such as image, chapter titles, actors, director, etc, etc, etc. If it can't find it, you can add the imdb code (the tt + the number in the url of an imdb entry) and chances are it'll find it.

Subler can do the above too, but not as good. At least, I prefer iDentify 2. :)
