Hire someone to care for your aged parent; put them in a home; share the care with siblings/children/neighbours ... there are three options straight off. Over on this side of the Atlantic, the option of euthanasia is also available in certain countries and certain circumstances. The average...

If you live in a world where you have only those two options, then you've chosen a dystopian lifestyle. Fortunately, even in 2035, there will be all kinds of other alternatives, most of which will offer a good intergenerational relationship between humans so that they can all enjoy good mental...

Three times as long as what? I live in a house that's 300 years old and is not particularly exceptional for the area. I have friends and acquaintances that live in houses that are 1000 years old, so they've already lasted three time as long as mine. :D What you're referring to is not the...

🤔 What are these "commercials" of which you speak? While you're at it, what is this TV thing and should I be worried it'll disrupt my visual entertainment? 😝

If "all music" is free for you, does that mean you're excluding all non-free music from your listening experience? And does "Nobody" mean everyone - because I for one still buy CDs, almost always from a box on the stage where the artists have just been performing, and usually I'm just one...

Blockbuster was a bog-standard tertiary commerce, about as far away from "the movie industry" as it was possible to get while still having something (anything) to do with movies. They provided a means for customers to watch movies of their own choice in the comfort of their own home, a...

:huh: Conquered? Has it? I'm not seeing a single example of a complex multisubject text prompt being turned into a video clip, so I'll hold off on my congratulations for a little longer.

Probably longer than they say but sooner than we might expect. Even then, I would predict that whatever progress is made will be less impactful than forecast. Just like MS WordArt didn't turn everyone into a graphic designer, Photoshop and iPhone cameras haven't turned everyone into master...

I didn't say that the new stuff is exactly like the old stuff; on the contrary, I said (or at least implied) that its developers churn out a load of shiny new "content" that looks impressive until you put it to the real-world test; and then you find that, in fact, the developers opted out of...

I thought adding sound to the moving pictures was supposed to have been the beginning of the end? :scared: This isn't a beginning or an end; it's just a step forward on an uncertain path. What is certain, though, is that this "Artificial Intelligence" - or at least the development team behind...

Well, if it's of any consolation, that post suceeded in dragging me out of an entirely different rabbit (worm?) hole in which I've been pootling about since your costume/dress-making query several months ago 🧙‍♂️ - a corner of YouTube inhabited by so many women with unimaginably long nails and...

:hi: Grüße aus Frankreich, Filip !

Whether or not it would serve as a useful stepping stone to stage or film performances I can't say, but radio drama is definitely a very accessible medium in Britain and Ireland (and an aspect of life I miss a lot, living in France). The national broadcasters in both countries regularly invite...

:hi: Hallo Bea, und Prosit Neujahr! from the far side of the Rhein. 🎊

Ciao, Alessio :hi:

:hi: Greetings, Ofelia.

Well seeing as you asked: Whose opinion is that? :hmm: Certainly not mine, as I pointed out to you that the long-standing advice to students of science is "don't believe anything you read in the papers (unless you've tested it for yourself)" And let's back up a bit: you asked for suggestions...

I am reading them, and (right up to the last one) you're still making a Big Deal about the legitimacy or otherwise of the peer-review gateway to getting research published ... having very clearly stated that The flaws of peer review is not the central subject of my video. :hmm: Okay, obviously...

No! :D That's lot of confusion and mixed messaging. The passage above suggests that this is an educational video, yet the previous excerpt is very definitely in the realm of opinion and debate. Those are not necessarily polar opposites, but if you start with an absolutist statement ("It's...

Well, we can definitely get you the same result for only 59.97. :contract: Welcome! :hi:
