I highly doubt you saw the "same" footage if it's National Geographic saying it's been in the archives for 50 years. I'm gonna trust them on this one.

If you lose your keys and then you find them, they were lost to you, but they were always available.
"Drawing from over 100 hours of never-before-seen footage that has been tucked away in the National Geographic archives for over 50 years", so the footage was lost in the archives and then found again. Misplaced, lost, whatever, it's semantics, what matters is it's footage that no one has ever seen before.

I lived through it, too. That's meaningless. Living through it doesn't automatically make you an expert. I grew up on 8 tracks and LPs.

Nope. Nope. I'm not wrong in any way on this. You seriously have no idea what you're talking about here. I don't give a shit if you believe me, this is for anyone reading the thread, so they can see there's pushback to your fundamental misunderstanding of what you're talking about here. You have no idea what you're talking about.

You are incorrect, again. That's NOT why people switched to CDs - length of storage was a much bigger driver. You just don't know what you're talking about here. LPs in no way have an inferior sound, the technology of CDs requires audio data to be removed for 44.1 audio. Please understand that as an audio professional, this is just wildly wrong info you keep providing.

Yes I do. You don't know what you're talking about. I've worked with top, top recording, mixing and mastering engineers across the country since the late '90s. I know what the fuck I'm talking about here. You do not.

Okay. Let me reiterate that I've dealt with this for a living and know so much more about this than someone who wrote a story for Vox. I've worked with top engineers around the country. I've watched frequency responses on scopes. Vinyl is objectively better than cds, regardless as to what one story on the internet says for confirmation bias.

As a pro audio engineer, this is very, very wrong. CDs fundamentally contain less information than a record does - it's a matter of convenience over sound quality, like streaming is following CDs.

According to militarytimes.com, it was only banned on government devices. Troops on military installations can still use it on personal devices.

It's allowed on millions of government devices. There is a bill in congress to remove it from federal agency devices but that hasn't passed. Not sure where you got your info from but it's wrong.

The song is called "A Horse With No Name" so I'd bet it's safe to assume the horse was indeed nameless. And Dewey Bunnell, the guy who wrote the song, was quoted as saying about his horseback trip into the desert to shoot an album cover photo, "We had fun, but I don’t recall the name of the horse I rode while I was out there". All signs point to a horse that was just "horse".

Um, they will also be able to slow it down or stop it. Which is a little more exciting.
"If validated through further research, this could have far-reaching implications for how we prevent cancer from spreading and allow us to manipulate this process to repair damaged organs.”

No genuine question is ever dumb. If someone legitimately doesn't understand something and is trying to learn, then we can help them learn. We don't chastise people because they weren't exposed to information we've already learned.
