A long time ago my dad bought a full blown surround sound set-up, and I got so tired of not being able to hear that I spent days fiddling with the settings to no effect. Went online to do deep dive research and people just kind of hand-waived with a generic “buy a better setup and try different settings”. Completely gave up on good audio and leaned into the subtitle life.

Maybe if someday I could afford a bigger place I’ll try again. I did get some high quality speakers for my PC, but the years of disappointment lowered my standards so much that I didn’t even notice the left speaker was off because I didn’t slot the copper wires correctly for many months.

He cut the grass a little short.

One of my best friends is christian and I didn’t even know for years because it wasn’t relevant and they are a reasonable person.

It’s a quick-draw stance to minimize motion, I believe.

Good point, but it’s still an annoying meme format because of the nonsensical double negative on nobody saying nothing.

I know I’m alone on this hill, but I’ll die here.

TIL, thanks

I got my phone in Atlanta but I only lived there for a few months. It makes it really easy to know when it’s spam because no one in Atlanta ever has business with me.

I didn’t listen to much music for the better part of a decade, mostly because I wasn’t driving, then it occurred to me one day that I could start streaming it during a lot of the stuff I do. Probably doubled how much music knowledge I had in two years.

I saw a road sign the other day with a very detailed horse on it, and it distracted me for a second thinking “What the hell is up with that sign? Are there wild horses here? Is there a horse crossing up ahead? We’re in the middle of the city!” So I almost missed the woman leading a horse out into the road from behind a dense bush right behind the sign, not checking for traffic at all.

Probably would have been safer without the sign.

Interesting, I guess in 1994 it would make sense to redraw the guy instead of copying the asset over in Illustrator like you would present day.

This brings up the quandary, should I drive 1.5 hrs round trip to support an anti-cars initiative.

No one’s talking about anon’s weird assumption that authors go from idea directly to manga, and not that most authors start by writing a novel to attract a sponsor.
