Title Text:I’m in talks with Netflix to produce an alternate-universe crime drama about the world where sliced bread was never re-legalized, but it’s going slowly because they keep changing their phone numbers and the door lock codes at their headquarters.
Title Text:Our new video ad campaign has our product’s name shouted in the first 500 milliseconds, so we can reach the people in adjacent rooms while the viewer is still turning down the volume.< Origin:https://xkcd.com/1884/ https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/1884:_Ringer_Volume/Media_Volume 媒体音量 https://weibo.com/5014657527?refer_flag=1001030103_ 发布此漫画时,大多数智能手机具有多种系统级音量设置,例如电话铃声音量,定时闹钟音量,电话通信音量和媒体音量(包括视频,音乐,游戏等)。为了比较,个人计算机默认将用户暴露给主音量控制,这会影响系统发出的所有声音。发出声音的应用程序(除了基本界面声音,例如点击)倾向于实现单独的音量控制。 此外,智能手机通常具有一对用于升高或降低音量的硬件按钮。但是,它们不区分用户想要调整的可用音量控制。智能手机操作系统倾向于调整当前发出的声音类型的音量水平,在没有声音播放的情况下,一些默认为电话呼叫振铃。使用由触摸屏控制的系统设置应用程序通常可以调整任意音量控制,这可能比按下专用按钮和/或停止当前正在使用的程序花费更多时间,具体取决于所讨论的智能手机。…

Title Text:I watched from a beautiful nature reserve in central Missouri, and it was–without exaggeration–the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.< Origin:https://xkcd.com/1880/ https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/1880:_Eclipse_Review 日蝕觀後感 我在密蘇里州中部美麗的自然保護區看了日全蝕,這是我這輩子看過最酷的事情了,不誇張。 https://xkcd.tw/1880 这部漫画是连续第五部以日食为主题的漫画。 2017年8月21日,从西向东横跨美国各地的一个带内可以看到日全食。其他漫画是1876年:Eclipse Searches,1877:Eclipse Science,1878:Earth Orbital Diagram和1879:Eclipse Birds。作为自两天前日全食以来第一部xkcd漫画,兰德尔准备提供他的“评论”。 漫画是另一个比较图,如1775:你学到的东西或1701:速度和危险。它对比了听起来有多酷,有多酷。它有五个点,行星连接,超月,月食,部分日食和日全食。 虽然除了日全食之外的其他四个东西在“看起来有多酷”的比例上相对接近,但图表甚至还不足以绘制日全食点,如虚线箭头所示,这一点应该是高高在上。这与留下的观点相反,正如兰德尔在388中用椰子做的那样:Fuck Grapefruit,它只在标题文本中提到过。这可能表明,如果比例足够高以适应日全食点,那么其余的点将在x轴上,而没有任何指示哪个更冷。 正确的日全食听起来就像五个人中最酷的一样,但是人们看到这个日食的幅度要大得多。似乎兰德尔试图说服那些错过日食的人在七年后再去观看美国可以看到的另一次日全食。 行星连接 在行星连接中,在夜空中可以看到两个或多个行星靠近在一起。这种情况经常发生,因为所有行星都位于太阳周围的大致相同的平面上(Sagittal黄道)。这看起来像两颗彼此接近的大明星,并不是特别令人兴奋。 超级月亮 超月是一个满月或新月,大致与月球在其绕地球的椭圆轨道上最接近的方向相吻合。这导致月球盘的表观尺寸大于通常,但是典型的人不会认识到这种差异。然而,近年来媒体经常宣布超级巨星是重要的天文事件。超级月亮的反面称为微型。…
