there's a German board game called Waldschattenspiel that we always start playing around this time of year. You place wooden trees around a board, then one player lights a candle and places it somewhere. They close their eyes and the other player places eight gnomes behind the trees, in the shadows
Photograph of a simple game board on a table. There are a number of green triangular "trees" and you can see some little wooden peg gnomes behind them. At the far edge of the board is a tealight candle Same photo as before but now the lights are off. Everything is black except for the candle, the light it casts and the hard shadows of the trees Photograph of the game board - a childs hand is using a wooden tool to move the light

I am like. Surprisingly broken up about this. It started growing sideways on the slanted roof of the kids playhouse so it ended up with this really cool skull shape. The kids were really looking forward to carving it into a skull.

this is such a funny thing to say when you're Rachmaninoff
Contemporary young composers of classical music are frequently taken to task for placing marketability and profit orientation above artistic integrity and compositional skill. In reality, however, placing the emphasis on the profitability of a given composition is not really a 21st century phenomenon or invention. Take for example Sergei Rachmaninoff. As soon as he put the finishing touches on his Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, he rather nonchalantly remarked, “This piece is for my agent.” Clearly, if we can trust Rachmaninoff’s self-assessment, the composition appears rooted in economic reality rather than an overpowering artistic need for expression.

Rachmaninoff noooo thats gross!!!
Rachmaninoff played the piano part at the premiere in 1934, accompanied by the Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by Leopold Stokowski. Uncharacteristically, Rachmaninoff was rather jittery and nervous prior to his performance. The story is told that had a glass of crème de menthe to steady his nerves. Everything went spectacularly well, and prior to every subsequent performance of the Rhapsody, he drank a glass of crème de menthe. It is not surprising therefore that the local press — not merely for musical reasons — started calling the piece the “Crème de Menthe Variations.”

okay.... all right..... uh huh.... okay, that makes sense
3. How to Add Hard Subtitles FFmpeg utilizes the subtitles and ass filters to add hard subtitles into video files. Each handles different subtitle file formats. The subtitles filter adds subtitles that are in SRT format, while the ass filter adds subtitles in the ASS format. 3.1. Adding Hard Subtitles in SRT Format To add SRT subtitles on top of an input video, FFmpeg uses the subtitles filter and the libass library. The libass library is a portable subtitle renderer that automatically converts input subtitle files to ASS format. Let’s ensure the libass library is enabled by checking FFmpeg’s version output log: $ ffmpeg -version ffmpeg version 4.2.7-0ubuntu0.1 Copyright (c) 2000-2022 the FFmpeg developers built with gcc 9 (Ubuntu 9.4.0-1ubuntu1~20.04.1) configuration: --prefix=/usr ....truncated.... --enable-gnutls --enable-ladspa --enable-libaom [--enable-libass] --enable-libbluray Copy If libass is enabled, we should see the –enable-libass option from the output. In addition, the subtitles filter requires a build with libavcodec and libavformat to convert the input subtitle file to ASS format. However, these libraries should be available by default when we install the most recent version of FFmpeg. 3.2. Adding Hard Subtitles in ASS Format We can also manually convert the input subtitle SRT file to ASS format, then use the ass filter to add the subtitles. Let’s convert the sample_video_subtitle_ffmpeg.srt subtitle file to ASS format: $ ffmpeg -i sample_video_subtitle_ffmpeg.srt output_subtitle.ass ....truncated.... Input #0, srt, from 'sample_video_subtitle_ffmpeg.srt': Duration: N/A, bitrate: N/A Stream #0:0: Subtitle: subrip Output #0, ass, to 'output_subtitle.ass': ....truncated.... Copy Next, let’s run this command to add the subtitles to the sample_video_ffmpeg.mp4 video file: $ ffmpeg -i sample_video_ffmpeg.mp4 -vf ass=output_subtitle.ass output_ass.mp4 Copy An output_ass.mp4 file will be generated, similar to the output video file we received from the example above. Additionally, we can add styling to the subtitles attached to the sample video. ASS files offer more styling options in comparison to SRT files.

hey I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere but - if you're using Chrome and you don't want this gross little AI Mode button to pop up in your address bar, paste "chrome://flags" into your address bar and search the flags for "AI Mode." find "AI Mode Omnibox Entrypoint" then you can just disable it!
