Netflix: This video for your kids is 20 minutes.

Me: But I need just a few more minutes to keep them occupied while I finish something...

Netflix: Sorry.

Me: document.querySelectorAll('video').forEach(v => v.playbackRate = 0.8)

Netflix: Sssooouuunnndddsss gggoooddd.
Note: many shows these days are so flashy and over-stimulating that I feel like slowing it down is actually better for them anyway.
Netflix: This episode is 58 minutes long.

Me: But I'm to tired to stay up that late.

Netflix: Then watch it later.

Me: But I want to watch it now.

Netflix: Tough.

Me: document.querySelectorAll('video').forEach(v => v.playbackRate = 1.5)

Netflix: Snds gd.

An idea:
Create two builds your client-side code. Transpiled to:
1. Latest 2 versions of modern browsers
2. Oldest browser you support

Serve the bundle appropriate for the browser.

Has anyone tried this? What have you learned? Is it worth the effort?
OH SNAP THIS IS A THING PEOPLE ACTUALLY DO AND APPARENTLY VUE-CLI DOES IT!

How cool is that!? I'm totally doing this.
And here's a neat thing: more and more apps at PayPal are using paypal-scripts. So once I implement this in paypal-scripts, all those apps will get this without having to change a line of code. AREN'T TOOLKITS THE BEST!?!?!?!??!

.@netflix, which has been in India since 2016, scored big last summer with its massive hit "Sacred Games," its first piece of Indian original content with a mix of Hindi and English. #Netflix has said it would consider cheaper pricing tiers to lure more subscriptions in India.
.@amazon, meanwhile "has no fewer than 30 Indian originals in different stages of production and recently developed a dedicated Hindi-language version of its platform for India," according to the Hollywood Reporter.

@amazonIN
.@Spotify, a Swedish company, is expected to launch in India within the next 6 months, per Bloomberg's Lucas Shaw. But it may face challenges: "Streaming services have about 100 million users in India, but a tiny fraction pay for the services."

I WAS CATCALLED AT A DOG CAFE!!! We first reserved our spot then left to eat. When we returned, the cashier guy said “Yan na si mam Darlene. Magpapakumpleto ng araw ko!” and I was like “Huh?” and then the other guy said “Mahilig kasi sa maganda yan mam HAHAHA”

It's outrageous this was shot on a phone. #pixelnofilter
Portrait modes tend to struggle in low light but look at this facinating example.

#Video I manifest the shakti of #consciousness over matter - moving objects without touching them. I'm sitting more than 1 ft from the coconut. It rolls when I'm in Oneness with @SriNithyananda & the coconut. I only give command internally

Person holding the coconut is new to me
It's one of the powers which Swamiji initiates people into. There's no eligibility criteria other than your own intention to experience it.
.@SriNithyananda Swamiji had declared, that anyone who makes fun of/abuses his disciples or him for sharing His teachings, or in this case, the extraordinary shaktis of MAHADEVA Himself, you are relieving us of our karma.

I feel like driving up some controversy, so how about a thread of Hot Takes/Unpopular Opinions! You know the drill, one like = one take/opinion.

Start easy: the blunt awkwardness/cringe of 'Blurryface' is the point of taking the piss out of Tyler. I stand by my light 9/10.
2. I don't hate Nickelback's 'Dark Horse' - it's easily a record for them at their most tasteless, but the frat-bro swagger of it helps some of their better hooks.
3. 'Fireflies' by Owl City is a genuinely terrific song that captures precocious, starry-eyed wonderment better than few others in the 2000s.

It is SPECTACULARLY lame, but that's why it works.

#Russia is discussing/finalising with #Turkey the cease-fire in #Afrin to allow 4000 #SAA men to take control of the entire city, surrounding villages, establish 52 positions in the enclave and deploy forces on the borders with #Turkey.
Thos who believe the deployment of the Syrian army will only be on the 160 km along the borders with #Turkey are mistaken because that was the initial request of the Afrin administration from day one, rejected by the government of #Damascus.
#Few minutes ago, #Damascus was informed that #Turkey is still rejecting few articles in the deal regarding #Afrin. Negotiators are still positive and hope to undo the problem in the next hours.
