Why don't people send "SD cards" with their video on it?

I guess for the same reason.

At the start of COVID, I was in Hanoi, but wanted to go to India before going home (it was super cheap). Before that, 2 things had happened:

  1. The stupid airline blocked the money (in the credit card) for our flight back and on top also transferred it, which left me without money in Vietnam. Super big pile of shit already.
  2. Due to COVID there was zero chance of reaching anyone for support. It took, at the end, another week when we where back for that money to be unblocked.

Then something else happened: They didn't let us on our flight to India (and thus to our flight home). Despite the Indian government saying no restrictions untill 2 days later. I had the website if the Indian ministry right there to show them. (guess how long it took to get that money back, despite the person saying they refund right now: about a year!)

So now we were stuck in Hanoi, without money for a flight back. So I had to call my family for credit card details to pay for a flight. There was essentially no other option. I don't plan to have 3x the amount of money "just in case". I don't travel much, so I assume parts of that are not too rare.

What do you mean 1% nearly broke the EU?

If it was printed later or written on punch cards... how much code are we actually looking at?

Way more likely "rip" or "HDrip" instead of XviD, which is (or used to be) a super common video codec. Like X264 today.

German colors = pride flag? What am I missing?

You specifically refered to the payment as one of 3 causes of this (someone else's model and hardware, no payment). That is wrong, paying them does not change that. Notice how your reply makes it seem like I talk about the other 2 causes, I don't.

Not to mention - taking about your own model is totally absurd. That is like suggesting to someone who dislikes touchscreens in cars to build their own car.

Are theaters still relevant today? I honestly don't know. Have not been in one for many years, everything is just way too expensive.

Only in 2D. Screws are 3D. There is no known optimum in 3D.

They keep making Rick and Morty. And so far they didn't fuck up, still very funny.

Since when is that option a thing? Always thought I need an extension for that.
