Futo keyboard does it too, I think its an issue in android itself as a result, either that or they’ve similar implementations

Are they Chimeric? I’ve never seen such a clear division between tuxedo and tortoiseshell patterns like that.

Same.

I think my school might have had a local mirror of their d2l brightspace instance though because it miraculously was still up, but taking multiple minutes to load pages

That’s kinda what I’m saying though. Those aren’t randos! They’re other people taking the same commute as you, every day. Make a connection with one and you might start to notice them more. Maybe you have a similar hobby or interest.

Give people a chance to enter your life and they often become more than randos on the train. Maybe you find a commute partner, someone to chat with or bitch to about Jane in Accounting.

I’m not gonna try to convince you, Clearly you saw my point and chose to reject it, that’s your choice. I’d urge you to give different thinking a chance though.

Its a call to be present.

There is nothing inherently wrong with wearing headphones on the train, but ask yourself why you’re doing it.

If you put on Headphones to keep people from talking to you, you’re making the choice to opt out of the human experience.?Make that choice every day on a 45 minute commute and after only a week 7.5 hours where you’ve opted out of chance encounter, conversation, possibly meeting a new friend or partner. It might not be a bad idea to make the choice to NOT disconnect, actively choosing to engage in the world around us makes a huge difference in how we percieve it, and how it percieves us.

An experiment I’d suggest, if you’re the type to default to using your phone as an idle activity:

Next time you’re idle and get the urge to pull out your phone, instead look around you and find the most interesting thing you can see. Why is it interesting? Is there anything abnormal about it? Is it’s place significant? Take that and note it in your mind, have a conversation with a coworker about it later. Then take note, how did this pointless conversation make me feel?

Being present by choice, especially if done often, will create chances to engage with the World, and its inhabitants.

The other day someone told me life was boring. Put the phone down, make more than the 2 meter cone you can see from around your phone visible, and you’ll find the World has a lot of engagement to offer.

Somewhere between a pringle made of soft-serve and a… Actually yeah foot calluses are close.

I use a vegetable peeler to shave off butter curls onto my toast and spread those.

Its a low tire pressure light.

In the fall, lower temperatures cause tire pressure to drop.

I’ve been using flying Toasters as my screensaver since 2001, I never see it anymore because the display turns off, but its there!

I highly recommend unplugging all network cables from your smartTV, disabling its wifi, and using a cheap PC as a streaming box. Adblockers, media ripping (is possible), it can do more than smart tV, you can play games on it.

I’m 100% with you. Life is what you make it, that’s the law of attraction and how perspective flavors your perception.

Take every moment as it comes, be HERE now, be the best you can be here and now, and live by your own compass. Life isn’t boring if you’re Living your own.

Edit: autocorrect made that kinda weird

Blocking people is good mental health practice.

Every month or so I go through and lurge my blocklist of all bht the most aggregious posters.

For linux, its when you update the kernel.

May I introduce kexec

My VHS player is HDMI, I feed that into an HDMI splitter (to bypass HDCP) then into a USB capture card.

OBS displays the capture card as though it were a camera input. I record this while it is playing, and export to MKV so I can add web sourced SRTs in after the fact.

I’m sure there’s a better way to do it, but this works for me.

There is absolutely better ways to do it, but I have an HDMI VCR and a capture card from goodwill that was $10 total.

For now its fine, I’m not burning physicals, its just bytes on a platter, I do need a VHS digitizer though.

Venti cold cups are 26 oz, the others are the same as their hot counterparts.

If your beverage was an iced tea, those are always made in a separate Container.

You can get it with the extra liquid, but you MUST be specific and mention you’d like “Lite ice, filled to the brim” or they’ll use the recipe card which will get you a less filled cup.

Back when I was a barista I trained my team to just make a sized up when folks ask for lite ice (because fuck corporate’s bottom line idgaf) and just use the ice scoop for the size down (ie, venti lire code gets trenta recipe with grande ice).

Just because VHS goes bad, I’d suggest ripping to dvd or blu-ray (too keep the physical feel) which should get you another 15+ years of storage in a compact fashion, more If kept properly (my ps2 games still work after 23 years, is my source on that).

My uncompressed rips (via OBS) from VHS are around 35 GB, perfect use case for a BD-R.

I know I’ll probably get shit for this comment because “optical media bad” but I don’t care.

Who’s heard of “about:profiles”?

The ice cubes are hollow. The ice cubes have about 6-8 fl oz total displacement (its so weird to talk about displacement in freedom units) in that size. Volumetrically: you’re absolutely right, they fill the cup entirely. Go into a starbucks and watch them make drinks, they add the ice last, which shows you exactly how much liquid you’re getting (its the top black line, those are measurements)

Edit: I’m not saying you’re not getting ripped off, you are, but not nearly as badly as it looks.
