But I dont like him leveraging it for monetization

He went from making $120k to nothing. What do you expect?

And it murdered everyone in the stadiums watching the opening/closing ceremony?

Do you think the world will band together to figure out who did such a terrible act, or will the world start blaming each other?

Cauldron lighting:

Yuna Kim:

Finally, a singer who can sing:

These drones remind me of that Black Mirror episode:

Holy shit at these drones:

These old Korean singers really suck.

The tech team for making all these lights, projectors, and raising platforms work... geez, can't imagine how hard that must have been.

idk what this is, but it looks cool:

Due to time constraints, some portions of the opening ceremony have been omitted. Maybe they should have started at 8 instead of a half hour of buildup and silly interviews.

Or fast forwarded through the parade of nations.

hawt:

wtf:

77 year old singer singing a classic Korean song:


..........he sounds like he's dying. Is that intended?

Vice President Mike Pence sits

Didn't Mike Pence make a big ass deal for football players kneeling...? And now he can't even stand for a historic moment like this?

Unified Korea, North and South marching together, under one unified flag:


South Korean president and North Korean leader's sister waving, while Vice President Mike Pence sits:

Tonga guy:

Kosovo apparently only has one athlete lol:

China:

Olympic Athletes from Russia; how sad...

242 athletes for the USA:


Look at Kim Jong Un's sister's facial reaction when USA enters... LOL:

Those dancers in the middle must get seriously tired...

Wait seriously; another commercial? Oh come on.

USA incoming:

It was a tributary state of China

If I recall correctly, "China" also wasn't really China, but rather a bunch of warring states.

Sayoria posted...

That opening was beautiful. I loved all the animals they did. TIL too, that South Korea lore is super close to Chinese lore. That Byakko, Genbu, Seiryuu and Suzaku thing. And the Yinyang. And the clothes.

If I remember my history correctly, "Korea" was part of "China" until modern times.

so how's nbc operating this. They gonna air things live at whatever weird time that may be for America, or are they gonna air stuff primetime for us and hope people don't just look up what happened?

NBC shows every sporting event live on the NBC Olympics website. The popular events will be shown on a time delay for TV.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's sister:

Surprised there's no topic about this. For us Americans, where they're playing it on primetime (aka right now)...

It's all just up to how the composer wants it to be read. What tempo etc. It's possible to write it just in 4/4, but it would probably make more sense to the player in compound time since the accented notes are every 3.

See example for both:

Yea the 10/8 makes more sense.

"Everyone's like eating it up."

Quotes from the interview with Mikaela Shiffrin from the NBC primetime opening ceremony right now.

Mostly 3/4 and then 4/4 on those last few beats.

So the music just keeps on changing time signatures back and forth, every two bars?

no

what you're hearing is 3/4 (or, to be more precise, 6/8) figures in 4/4. the first four "beats" are actually dotted quarter notes (or quarter notes tied to 8th notes, or other ways of grouping 1.5 beats). the last two in the phrase are quarter notes.

1.5 + 1.5 + 1.5 + 1.5 + 1 +1 = 8

so it would be written as 2 bars of 4/4

Sonic Cannon posted...

2 bars of 6/8 followed by 1 bar of 4/8.

I think it's more likely just 3/4 and 4/4 though. Only some of the instruments are playing triplets.

That helped a lot. I got it now. Thanks!

I can't quite put my finger on it. It's like:
1... 2... 3... 4... 5 6

The 5 6 does not seem like half beats either, so it's not like 5/4 time signature...

Literally only curling is on... who gives a shit?

Fortunately, after the student contested, the tutor realized his mistake and corrected the grade.

So why is this news?

Funkydog posted...

I mean, if you don't seal it... kind of sounds like your fault tbh >.>

The bag should come sealed when new.

Buzz Killjoy posted...

If it's not sealed well it will absorb moisture and start to clump in the bag. Otherwise you should be good.

I might have to do this too, that's the brand I buy.

I know Costco will accept a return for a refund if that's the case (e.g. not my fault the product is defective), so time to do this lol.

nevershine posted...

You're not planning on eating it, right?
If not, then I wouldn't think it expires

I thought maybe something about the "clumping technology" or whatnot may degrade over time to the point it just doesn't work.

Soviet_Poland posted...

Yeah, but the option says no date.

Vindris_SNH posted...

First option seems like it's suggesting I don't have a significant other.

True. My bad.

Vindris_SNH posted...

No option for $0, my wife and I don't celebrate Valentine's Day.

It's literally the first option.

This might be a stupid question, but cat litter is good for like a year or two, right?

Costco is having a sale on a 42lbs bag of scoop away cat litter ($3 off; limit of 3). FYI, it's normally around $12. We go to Costco once a week, so we can potentially buy 12 bags of this stuff, at a saving of $36 (or basically get three bags free).

We use one 42lbs bag in about 1.5 months, so 12 bags will last us a year and a half.

.................It'll be okay, right?

Just buy TurboTax and do it yourself

^ That.

Between the missus and I, we had income from four different states, got married, sold a property, rolled over a retirement account, had HSA distributions and contributions, and had some income from investments, and we just used TurboTax to file everything.

Here's hoping we didn't fuck up somewhere and get audited though lol.

Valentines is such a bull shit holiday

You can literally say that about every single holiday.

Well?

*EDIT*: As for myself, I will be away from the missus next week, so I ordered flowers to be delivered to her as a surprise.
