WHAT’S THE CHARGE? EATING A DELICIOUS KENYAN SUPPER?

you’re the only person asserting they are. having a trait be associated with an ideal of a gender doesn’t mean it’s an exclusive association.

is there a good guide to the different levels of dlss? what if I want to fake better performance to a degree because, i don’t know, maybe my potato got moldy and stardew is getting choppy

yeah. weirdness ought to be celebrated. it’s those little hyperfocuses that give us our passion.

your spoiler tag whoopsie doodled. add the word spoiler after the first 3 : : : s and it should work

huh, so my dad had back problems his entire life. he trained me to put cold on my back if i hurt it. basically, if there’s a pinched nerve, the cold reduces the inflammation. eases the pressure. whereas heat expands everything, and could (doesn’t always) increase the pinch on the nerve or cause a spasm.

and y’know, what you’re taught as a kid is what you think is normal. has putting heat on your back ever caused it to get worse? more i think about it the more that sounds bullshit to me.

yeah, i got a recumbent bike, and not moving while my body whizzes along the road and gets a little movement is so much better for it. all the little microadjustments the muscles have to make for the bumps and shit, you don’t get them in the fancy desk chairs. i’m healthier than i’ve been in years thanks to that thing, and some days i’m just exercising the throttle.

standing desk squad got the best chairs

Tribe!

"¿DONDE ESTA LA BIBLIOTECA?

it was just one scene in Corpse Bride, too. a single song, I finally watched it with the subtitles on and understood it this year. I understood some delightful jokes and lyrics for the first time! I want to cast so many aspersions at our dear friend Alan Smythee at the sound department on that film, but like half the sound department went uncredited so i get it.

that would be the occasion to find the [enable dialogue enhancer] setting (or a reasonable facsimile, mine is called the same) in the tv. if you have a center channel, leave it off.

i’ve got one of those systems. It’s tuned damn well. I still have those problems. It’s like asking why someone would not like something shot in shaky cam. Some people just get nauseated when it takes up the whole screen. I do, and I do fine on roller coasters. And was stoned. It was weird. Not every film is for every person, but if you can add subs it makes it more accessible.

the first film i really noticed it in was Corpse Bride. been a problem for 21 years.

i don’t read them the entire movie, just during parts that the sound balance is all fucky. so just during movies made since 2005

they have people who pick music, not people who mix or balance sounds.

i have a group i’m working with. we’re almost good enough to play this. it’s on my bucket list.

i’ll never need these disposables i said

20 years later, i dug through my pile of disposables and pulled out the 3 sizes i needed for my bike, and it has most of what i need for my repair kit.
