I hear ya most online instructions suck

As long as you don't sell to much at a time then no. Also the reality is they won't really know unless you tell them. Obviously if you are pulling in $50,000 a month that will probably show up.

That’s odd. Haven’t seen that much of a problem. Not saying you aren’t having the problem.

Although most videos I watch are about 4 minutes. The only exception would be critical role. Haven’t really noticed a big problem when they are doing their live stream.

[-] andrewta@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Exactly. It comes down to a person's patience. The videos I watch are things from HLC, habitual line crosser, this is part of how he makes his money. I watch a video and a commercial and he gets paid. I can work with that. Also Critical Role, same thing there. If I want the entertainment then in some way shape or form they need to be paid. Either I pay them directly or I watch an ad.

Ads are usually skippable. Even if they aren't, I click on the computer screen then wait for a whole 8 seconds to watch what I want.

You've already done all you can.

Maybe it's more complicated then they want. Maybe they just don't want to change. Not much else you can do.

The question I would have at this point is how much of a change was it? For example, all their channels right now are coming through service, so that means one remote and effectively one graphical interface.

So under the new system with everything coming through one graphical interface? Or how many different systems would this entail? How many times would they have to change input? As a person gets older having to deal with multiple inputs, possibly even multiple remotes can be more headache than it is worth.

I don’t know what the age of your parents are, but with my mom she’s over 70, she knows the sound systems makes TV shows and movies sound much better, but all the extra remotes and changing of inputs, etc. it’s too much for her.

~~I don’t know what the age of your parents are, but with my mom she’s over 70, she knows the sound systems makes TV shows and movies sound much better, but all the extra remotes and changing of inputs, etc. she just it’s too much for her~~ no idea of why this got duplicated

again, I don’t know what the age of your parents are so I’m not sure if that would be a problem or not? But it is something I’m curious on is how many different interfaces/systems and remotes are they having to deal with when you put them over on the new system?

Also, sometimes even without age people are just going, give me one system, integrated into one interface, give me one remote and just let me view the shows.

Sorry if I sound like I’m arguing against you I do apologize if I sound that way. I’m just curious what your responses are , And if it turns out that it is a number of remotes, it might be something I think about.

[-] andrewta@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

This is the best option. Put the system in and go over a lot and show them that ALL of their shows they want are available. Then show what it costs. Pay for it yourself as a gift to them. Once they see the bill (if it's cheaper) and once they see ALL of their shows are available, that should convince them.

I think you meant desire not desite

So lemmy and Reddit?

I asked a long time ago if it was possible and was told basically no and never going to happen.

company?

I mean how did it work?

I know, I can create a live CD of Linux, I know I also can create a bootable Linux installation on a jump drive. I’m curious is can I actually do a full install of mint Linux on an external drive and actually run it that way. When I say run it I mean actually add packages remove packages, etc. i’m asking because I have a currently working Windows 10 computer. And until I really understand Linux especially how to properly install it. I prefer not to screw something up on a working system. I figured install it to an external Drive and then just tell the bios, don’t boot the windows drive just boot into the external Drive.

Would this actually work?

I know the ng means nanogram

But I’m curious how would I say the above line of 2.1 ng/kg

For context I got it from this paragraph

a lethal dose of 1.3–2.1 ng/kg in humans

Would it be

2.1 nanogram per kilogram?

Also if I wanted to write that as a decimal number how would i write that?

any help is appreciated.

Each of the companies that we have talked to for Hot air balloon rides have said you pay for it in advance, then if there is bad weather, you don’t get your money back. You just have to reschedule for another day. We have a friend who had to make many many many trips an hour and a half each way and each time on the way there, they would get a call to say sorry it’s too windy or some other item. It took a long time before they actually got there actual ride.

So what I’m wondering is, is there any company out there that actually just gives a refund if you can’t take the ride because of inclement weather.? This is in the United States.

Sorry I ran out of space in the title.

I assumed they meant thanks but a Google search doesn’t give me that kind of result. What does dinata mean and what language is it from?
