With that reduced amount of "me time" (he/she time?) I bet OP wouldn't understand videogame references /s

Me too, but I'm too lazy to go to bed. I rather procrastinate till late night, not wanting the day (and my onyl me time) to end. So i go sleep late and wake up grumpy every single day. Yay!

Couldn't agree more. I'm not, but I'm doing my duty so there's that.

Yeah.. And what about copilot?

Or a cat.

I offer a course of cook everything in one pot as much as possible, then move the pot to the fridge and eat only that till it's gone, clean pot and start over. 1 pot, 1 crock pot fit on my second shelf, drinks on the bottom, and fruits vegatables in the drawers. If it's on the top shelf, I probably need to clean it out because I never know what's there. Likely cheese.

You've completed the course.

A petty, nerdy, unnecessary pr.

Oo, me too. I added a feature for submodules in their git implementation for VSCode. I have contributed to tons of the FOSS software I use, feels good to give back.

yeah, that's what I heard, too.

funny thing is that I haven't seen any of them, still know everything about it, thanks to 9gag through osmosis.

for a long time, this is why I decided not to watch any of thr movies, as I never would be able to experience it as first time.

but now, since I'm a bit older I know that's stupid, it's just some movie so I'll watch those eventually with gf.

Capitalism doesn't care that what made Star Wars special in the first place was that it only came out every twenty years of so.

There's no profit in Absence makes the heart grow fonder

I'm not toxic, but I am a fan! So, so much money in the franchise and they've all been mediocre-to-bad since Return of the Jedi. Some slight exaggeration to this opinion, but it's mostly true. And there are some truly incredible stories in the old novels that are now discarded and considered not canon. Such wasted potential...

I enjoyed 7 when it first released. The visual style in the first 10 minutes was appealing and I figured we were retreading the same notes for nostalgia before going on a different plot with Finn. Nope, just poorly written rehashed story lines with nonsense plot devices. So much potential thrown away.

The prequels were a hot mess too. I watched episode 1 in theaters when it first came out and didn't bother watching 2 and 3 until probably around 2019 and have zero regrets about that.

I think they're getting a pass now because 7-9 were even worse, but this is like looking back at George W. Bush fondly just because of how awful Trump is.

I love this dog and always forget where he comes from

2006: "You" is Time Person of the Year

2015-2024: OH MY GOD SOCIAL MEDIA IS BAD FOR DEMOCRACY AND WE NEED TO BAN IT FOR CHILDREN AND MISINFORMATION AND PORNOGRAPHY AND HATE SPEECH AND FASCISM AND ("(&)§$()"§&(&$(")§&$

I was a preteen in 2006 and still hold the optimist views about technology and its democratization that so many people held in 2006, but it seems I'm nearly the only one who even remembers them.

Only in that they happened before my life fell apart several months ago and they're about the only interesting things about me I could come up with

Not really, I'd started running like 2 years before starting toying and running with stuff it would end up chafing you terribly. Life kind of came to a crashing halt and I haven't run since March and still can't really fit half the things I used to

Hahaha definitely by choice, you're not fitting something that size in someone unless they've worked up to it

Possible interpretations:

1. They've run a distance of 1,000 miles while wearing a butt plug.
2. The 1000 miles is the distance the device has moved back and forth within their rectum.

Only in that they happened before life got really terrible

Sneezing in to your arm (looks like you're covering your face with a cape like a vampire would).

Uh-uh-uh-von to ACHOO!

I do this as a power move to intimidate my enemies when the going gets tough.

The dog-barf...

Cash money, that's where the real danger lurks. Even if you can drink bottled water and eat pre-packaged food, you have to handle the money. And that stuff is really, really nasty in some parts of the world.

I do not know. I have never actively tried to smell ants nor had them inside any apartments I've lived in. I shall test this when summer returns one day. But I do remember that the ant guy wrote about having some genetic quirk that ables him to register some compound that's out normal human range of smell.

The ant-smelling trait is a genetic thing. I have a co-worker that can smell ants, but otherwise their sense of smell is unremarkable

Yeah, Covid was a freaky experience. I got off easy, no fever or other symptoms, I just realized one day that I was unable to smell freshly cut grass. Then I realized that I did not smell anything at all.

My sense of smell started coming slowly back after a few days and I can't tell if it's diminished or not. But after Covid every brand of whiskey smells and tastes like vomit to me, so there was a price to pay. Also the smell of someone eating rice cakes became utterly disgusting, as well as yogurt. Before Covid I barely registered these two.

Perfumes or scented products are not a problem for me at all, unless of course someone uses way too much. Like I said, I kind of block all the unpleasant stuff unconsciously and focus on the good ones.

It's kind of like listening to radio, all the channels are broadcasting all the time, simultaneously, but you still tune in to listen only one at a time.

And when I'm intoxicated, theyre all blaring at the same time and cannot be silenced :(

I don't usually bring this "gift" of mine up in real life, it tends to create pretty awkward and unpleasant situations.

"Oh, if you have such sharp sense of smell, then tell me what deodorant/lotion/perfume I'm using?" How the hell could I know the names of every hygienic/cosmetic product, especially when the reek of detergent, fabric softener and sweat is mixed with the scent I'm supposed to recognize?

Or people just laugh at me and call me a liar.

But my friends are aware of my talent, when someone is considering to buy an apartment they often ask me to accompany them for a presentation. I can tell almost instantly if there's water damage or mold. When I was buying my own apartment I found one spot under the stairs that had a very faint but odd smell, like wet cement mixed with the smell of a wet dog. There were no water pipes or sewers even near that wall, nor were there any signs of leaks from above. I called the seller to ask about this and he started laughing. The spot was their old dog's favourite place to curl up for a sleep after a walk in the rain. And it was years since the dog had passed away, they had even painted the wall once and renewed the floor laminate after that. So no worries, I bought the place.

Jelly.

I started working two-days-a-week from home in late 2019, so it was very easy for me to transition to full-time at home in 2020.

Does that make me one of the "before it was cool" kids? Now I'm back to one-day-per-week in the office.

I think the idea is that it's like the Global Seed Vault but for knowledge (and it's physically close, too). Maintain copies of important things in such a way that they are designed to survive ~any catastrophe.

Now with vitamin R!

We don't have any malk, but I can get you some MILK

haha intelligent and normal are usually two different categories of drivers

Heey there it is!

Thank you :-)

Cool!

We should make a club of mental developers 😋

Running is beneficial for knees and ankles over medium to long timeframes. There's a 100 year old guy that runs 10k every day and his knees and ankles are doing fine.

Hahaha, I used to run; I had the same question! I can't run anymore because knee pain :(

Not too bad. But to be honest, I started mixing trail running into my schedule. It's fun, better for your joints (even though I've never had problems), and as a runner gets older, longer distances become more appealing. I'm beginning to consider some easier ultras, and they are usually on trails.

That's actually a great insight! I remember opening a botyle of wine to celebrate that.

Just for fun, years ago i did a linear chart for my marathon times, and estimated that about two years ago I should have broken the sound barrier.

Where are you having them made? I've been looking for a print shop that would do the print on the back, where it's more likely that someone would read them when I'm running.

Yeah, I'm a sideshow performer (fka a freakshow). This is my fav video of the drill because of the audience reaction

Black Hole Sun

Vapor tricks have come a very long way over the last 20 years. Look up Joseph Kerr if you wanna see insane shit. I've met him before, he's super friendly.

Fire staff was my first prop :P

That is definitely a skill issue

Actual baking with an oven.

With flour and sugar only because I know how much fits on a spoon. With butter it's just magic.

I don't, but I've suspected that's what I'm supposed to do if I ever do it. Lol

Some people can’t turn off their inner monologue?

Apparently not. I struggled with that as a kid and I remember having some sleepless nights when my head would be yapping nonstop. Then one day I learned to stop it.

But I mostly remember this in threads where people on either side of the inner monologue vs no inner monologue discussions discover the opposite exists. And so I'm like, what, you guys can't just turn it on or off? I've concluded that we must be in the third group looking on, who can do either at will.

Yeah I can't. I think in words, in English, very occasionally Spanish, but always language, words words words.

Yeah, for some (like me) it’s almost impossible.

But then, there are also people that do not have any inner monologue at all…

If I try to stop thinking I just ended up thinking "stopthinkingstopthinking shutupshutupshutup"

Normal, hydrated person can't go 18 hours without toilet break.

Okay, well I'll admit. I do pee at gas stations.

Interesting, my record is the same.

I was taught by someone who really understood that it really is just geometry and as long as your first position is correct and you turn to the right angles, it's simple. The only time I really screw up is if there's someone behind me or in front of me keeping me from setting up properly.

Already have, it's definitely not diabetes. Apparently it's a genetic thing, but it's both pretty rare and just isn't caught by people that "have the gift".

Haha, it's so weird that the only people that have caught on that are my sneezes are my wife and my parents. My wife used to think it was cute, until she realised that her smelling it basically means she's breathing in my sneezes, which is pretty grim.

It's maybe 1 in 5 sneezes, but I can almost always tell when it's going to be a "smelly" one.

No one can compete with my patheticness.

Now : FIGHT!

I'm the building superintendent.

Per game, bender.

Yes i did. Thanks to my mom for noticing the information to tell me about the reader card. Otherwise I would not have had that experience. I did the normal tourist area but then got that experience

Not OP, but most of it.

Tutorials I might need to go a bit slower, remembering broad strokes isn't enough, and detailed steps in order is probably too much, but that would be true at 1x speed as well.

For videos generally I watch almost everything at 2x or higher. Headphones help, it would be much harder if there were any competing audio stimulus. If I'm forced to go at 1x I retain almost nothing.

enhancer for youtube extension in firefox for me.

You can get browser extensions to have more control over video speed

No extension needed. Use a bookmarklet or the browser console; it's a oneliner anyway.

/* Bookmarklets should be one line. */
javascript:
document
  .querySelector('video')
  .playbackRate = prompt("Speed") || 3

No need for webdev skills either. COVID kids used bookmarklets all the time to screw with their Chromebooks.

Oh yeah, that final scene. Weird how they pulled that off. I feel like the tension between characters + soundtrack + masterful cuts made it way less boring than just 'three dudes are looking at each other for ten minutes' (:

That, very likely, is not good for your health

I have no idea how long that is for you?

Hard to say really but certainly greater than 12 hours, maybe even 18, after having the urge to pee. I tend to forget about it and rarely wake up during the night to go.

Yeah lol, that's usually the highest rate here. A good 75% of the packages are cat litter, water, bulk boxes of Pampers™, and baby wipes. During the holiday season we get more Barbie Dreamhouses™ and things for babies lol.

That's about it. I call it "Camp Constipation Mode".

No, just for all those to which I have applied, I have been offered the gig. It isn’t many: a few as a teenager and 7 since I left the military. But I’ve just been really fortunate, and not been rejected.
