I took it down at the end of last month, I'm not feeling too peachy, to tell the truth. I guess I'll choose one at the start of the new year.

What causes rainbow colours to show up in striped objects in B&W films/TV shows played on a regular TV?

Random rant: I like Ben Whishaw, a great actor but what the actual f*ck...

Ben Whishaw to play Freddie Mercury

Were there no Asian actors available?? like (To pick a few obvious guys with the acting chops)...

Naveen Andrews (Awesome in everything + does a mean Alan Partridge)

Suraj Sharma (He carried the whole of 'Life of Pi' solo, he can handle a biopic)


Jimi Mistry (Always good when he's given a good role)

However...

...is set to direct, yay! (Liked his recent films).

At first I had no idea what you were talking about, then I looked it up. I had no idea Freddie Mercury was Parsi.

I never claimed to be an expert on Queen, but that came as a complete surprise to me.

High-frequency luminance information in a composite video signal results in chrominance cross-talk, due to imperfect luminance/chrominance separation in the comb filter.

My parents heads' will explode when I give them that answer. XD

Does their TV have an s-video input or just composite (rca)?

A picture is worth a thousand words. Post 102 is worth more.

I’m late to the party, but I think this is the best song. Enjoy!

I've seen similar rainbowing in old analog video masters of films broadcast digitally.

Where were you in '77?

 This is getting a much bigger laugh from me than it probably should. Thanks for that!

I love that he's named it after the goop from 'Make Room! Make Room!' / 'Soylent Green'. It's creepy, but it makes me happy.

EDIT- did they eat soylent green in 'Make Room! Make Room!'? I don't remember what all was changed for the film, but I do remember that they are quite different...

He's been at it for a while actually.

All in all, he's an idiot or ignorant himself of what it is he's actually eating. In a fitting bit of irony he probably thinks he's getting all the essential nutrients but he's likely not. Over the counter vitamin powders and supplements contain fillers in order to make it cheaper for companies to sell. So half of what he's eating is likely paper. Wood pulp isn't exactly dangerous to eat and in fact cinnamon is tree bark but it's not exactly filled with the nutrients he thinks he's getting. Unless you get a prescription from a doctor they're not giving you the pure vitamins and nutrients. Half of his diet consists of paper and he doesn't even know it. Trying to foist it as some product that's going to "solve world hunger" is naive given that he's likely ignorant of what most of his product consists of and could cause more harm than good.

Soylent isn't a mixture of OTC vitamin mixtures. It's a custom blend. Ars Technica did a series on it:

That was the beta version, v1.0 actually addresses the chalky and such. I think it's an interesting concept.

IMO it's more useful for starving people than SiValley hipsters.
