I guess in this example, "who is your daddy?" Is the main question, which has a somewhat flat intonation, but contrasted to the emphasis in the second half of the sentence, it feels like a rise

Could you give some specific examples of questions in English that would not be asked with a rising tone at the end?

24fps vision is a lie told by Hollywood so they can save on film

Good luck getting consistent cuts while you're freehanding. The idea is to make the nice flat cat scratching pad, and also being able to make the tool with the tool printer you have at home

Is that the guy that wrote Blindsight? Strange read

I thought the seahorse was talking about the microphone

I guess Reading is not his strong suit

Yeah. I think the bottom line is that if you're still using Google Maps instead of Android Auto, you're bad and should feel bad. Personally, I hate every car newer than mine because of similar practices in what seems like the entire auto industry

I feel that. I got a Garmin watch that thankfully has a generic media control. Going the way things are going, maybe its days are numbered and it'll be removed without warning, despite not being Google

On the maps app, they recently removed the little media player controls that showed up at the bottom when something, anything, was playing. Just removed it for seemingly no reason.

It was the only maps app that would do that. Waze has to install an applet for each media player app you want to control, and guess what, unless it's Spotify and a handful of other popular apps, you're out of luck. No generic media control interface. It's so backwards! Just take whatever's playing and give me forward, back, and pause!
