HOLY SHIT THERE IS NO LOAD TIME WE MUST WORSHIP IT AS OUR GOD

I was going to say that this is the first animated gif I've seen on the interbutts that loaded instantly.

[–]readyfuels 61 points62 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I believe this is one of those fancy optimized .gifs - they load the differences in each frame, so there's less to load. Or something like that.

I'm an English major.

[–]ndchristie 32 points33 points ago

exactly this. It's hard to notice any quality loss with the static background, but it's gotten significant savings. It won't work as well (or at all) with gifs from video or other active canvases, but as you can see, it only records a teensy bit of info for most frames, and saves about 25 megabytes.

Very informative reply. Didn't realise gifs could work like MPEGs. Thanks for the info.

Well, humor aside, good for you. It's unfortunate that we live in a time when following your passion often means sacrificing a more comfortable living, so I'm always encouraged by people who take their dreams seriously. Just out of curiosity, what led you to earn that particular degree? If you could be in any job right now, what would it be?

[–]readyfuels 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

To be very honest? I love biology, but didn't/don't (jury's out on which) have the motivation to study hard enough to be come a doctor - which I learned the hard way. Reading and writing have always been my passions and I knew that there wasn't a lot on the career forefront, but it was what I loved. Second choice was literary journalism (which I was told I had a talent for), but I would have needed to stay in school for another year. I couldn't afford it. So English it was.

If I could be doing anything right now, I'd be doing screenwriting. I'm very, very slowly working on something, but the way my life is, I don't know if it'll come into being for well over a year or so. I don't have the time and I have a lot of other commitments.

Wow, I just talked about myself for two paragraphs in /r/funny. I'm sorry.

Oh my, that was one of the favourite parts of the movie. The illustration and art style was absolutely fantastic. And the pacing of the animation with the narration was superb. It was well really done. Simple yet highly effective story telling.

Traditional dueling pistols only have one shot. These guys were using six-shot (probably revolvers), which is highly unlikely.

This eerily reminds me of politicians...

They dispute, drain and victimize everyone not directly associated with the problem. Then when shit hits the fan and they've reached a peak in disputes, they drop their "guns" and scuffle it out - not realizing how their recklessness has affected the population.

This is actually how Arron Burr died. Duels very rarely ended in death back then because the guns were so inaccurate, it was more of a formality about honor. When Alexander Hamilton dueled with Burr he had no intention of killing him and actually aimed away. But because his pistol sucked he accidentally hit him.

[–]NichaelBluth 12 points13 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Aaron Burr died of complications from a stroke he suffered in his late 70's. Only Hamilton died in that duel, the same spot that his oldest son was killed three years prior, also in a duel.
