  • My dog just startles himself when he farts.

    I'm not sure what's worse... being startled by the sound of a dog fart or being startled by a 60lb dog leaping off the couch without warning.

  • I once got a couple of Amazon Echo Dots as part of a promo. Little spherical devices with about a 3" round touchscreen. To set it up you had to enter your Amazon account info by tapping a keyboard on that tiny screen.

    My password at the time was a random 80 character string, full of special characters. That would have been painful enough, but the password entry box would hide each character a second or so after typing, so it was nearly impossible to keep track of where I was, and whether I had skipped or double entered something.

    I should have just binned them immediately at that point, but I spent probably an hour of typing passwords on those two fuckers--more out of stubbornness than anything else.

  • My guess is that with TV/Movies streaming you generally sit down to consume a given piece of content in chunks of minimum 1hr, and people rarely watch an episode of one show back to back with another show. So having that content fragmented between services doesn't provide much friction to normal viewing.

    Contrast that with music, where having to switch services to listen to a different album would be extremely disruptive to the way most people listen. The only way that would work is if the separate services were generally clustered by genre, like radio. Having said that, I'm a little surprised that niche music streaming services haven't popped up (like how you have Crunchyroll for anime, for example).

  • It sounded like he was being sloppy about stitching together the audio from multiple takes, rather than a distinct decision.

    But yeah, I can't stand that condensed run-on-sentence editing style that so many youtubers have adopted. It has an uncanny valley quality to it that's off-putting.

  • Huh, I have a Fractal Design AIO that's several years old at this point, and I cannot hear the water pump unless I literally stick my head in the case and ramp the speed up and down. I just leave it at 100% full time.

  • Sorry for your loss. No doubt in my mind she was a good girl, having blessed you with 17 years of love and companionship! RIP Riley.

  • People act like this is some kind of mysterious system, when it all boils down to one simple thing: If you want people to give you favorable terms when asking to borrow their money, then establish a history of being a reliable money-borrower! It's not rocket science!

    Open a credit card or two. Make all your purchases on them (borrow money), and pay off the balance every month (pay back the money). You will never pay a penny in interest or fees, you will easily earn 1-2% cash back, and you have a small buffer in case of setbacks.

    Being financially conservative--i.e., saving a lot and never borrowing/repaying money--may be a moral virtue, but it does nothing to establish you as someone who has a history of paying back borrowed money.

  • That NIN/CRJ mashup has absolutely no business being as good as it is!

  • So they're not just cowardly fascists, they're cowardly lying fascists. 👍

  • I get those very frequently the day before a popular show airs.

    I wish there was a setting in sonarr to only grab released episodes (like radarr has) bit it seems like blocking extensions is the way to go.

  • Good call! Wife and I watched that one on a whim, thinking it would be a good "bad" movie to watch while having a few drinks and were pleasantly surprised!

    You probably need be at least familiar with RPG/fantasy tropes to fully enjoy it, but it definitely felt like it came from a place of love and self-awareness, rather than the cynical cash-grab I was expecting.

  • Do you really expect a restaurant to manually write a 1-sentence description for every single thing on their menu? How would that even work?

  • I'm as fascinated by those shuttle comparisons as anything else!

    On the face of it, I wouldn't have guessed that the space shuttle's power output was measured in gigawatts, nor that the space shuttle's output is on the same scale as an entire country's steam power output (in 1896, sure... but still!)

  • American here. Aren't you worried about suffocating in that stall, without 1.5ft [50cm] gaps between the floor and the wall, and 1in [25mm] gaps around the door for proper ventilation?

  • Thanks to your comment, today's sober me is going to stop at the grocery store after work and do this weekend's high me SUCH a huge solid! 😘

  • Methinks the lady doth protest too much.

  • While you're not wrong, you're also massively over-analyzing and "WELL AKSHULLY"ing what appears to be a silly one-liner, not a serious attempted dunk on the article.

  • So now we're sending out reminders like a high school history teacher reminding students that the history report is due tomorrow.

    I was thinking it's more like a reminder that your car's warranty is about to expire, so hurry up and purchase that extended warranty!

  • I refuse to use a case on principle. The idea that you need a case to protect a phone from everyday use is so ass-backwards it hurts my brain. (and was not always the situation!)

    It would be so much more space, weight, and cost efficient to simply engineer in the durability provided by a case through the use of proper materials and construction. But apparently marketing thinks nobody would buy a phone that looks and feels out of the box the way a phone with a case feels. So we end up with these thin, elegant, glass and polished aluminum devices... that most of the population has to immediately hide inside a bulky plastic/rubber case to have a chance of surviving 6 months.

    Imagine if a carmaker sold a premium vehicle with a polished metal and glass exterior that you had to protect under a vinyl wrap to keep it from rusting and chipping under normal use... they'd be a laughing stock!
