One helpful thing I found is that it can skip “non music sections”, ie those cringey silent scenes they put in YouTube videos. If that’d existed a couple of years ago, I probably wouldn’t have switched to Spotify. I mainly switched because I was sick of random 10 second pauses for dramatic effect in the middle of songs, often right before the chorus

Did you post this twice?

Just out of spite, I reckon I’m gonna start archiving your page :D

If I may ask, how many subs/total views did you amass after a decade?

20 bucks is more than reasonable for a 10 dollar shirt imo. But where I am, often these shirts will go for the equivalent US$50 plus the same or more in shipping. I think that’s a scam. 20 bucks is nothing

At this time of day in this part of the country???

I take it this is a reference to… Something, but I can’t figure it out. What?

I don’t know if they meet your criteria for a franchise, but any forum based website (including Reddit, Lemmy, etc) always ends up with at least 1 office, friends, or IT crowd reference somewhere in the thread. They’re definitely essential pop culture pillars, even if they don’t qualify as franchises

I’ve still never seen any of them though

I’m 17, and either dislike or don’t know most of them. Here’s my thoughts on most of them, if anybody’s curious:

Star wars - don’t like it

James Bond - never seen it

Lord of the rings - never seen ir

Sherlock Holmes - don’t like it

Batman - hate it

Superman - never seen it

Spiderman - don’t like it

Mission Impossible -never seen of it

Mario - played and enjoyed Mario kart, that’s about it

Zelda - never seen it

Pokemon - never seen it

Indiana Jones - don’t like it

Back to the Future - I saw it but don’t really remember anything from it, mostly forgettable

The Karate Kid - I watched it when I was too young to care, but I think I’d like it if I watched it now

A Nightmare on Elm Street - liked it

Friday the 13th - I know it, but can’t remember if I’ve seen it

Child’s Play - watched one of them, got bored halfway through

It - liked it

Rambo - liked it

Rocky - never seen it

Jurassic Park - seen it, no strong feelings

The Matrix - got bored by the 30 minute mark and turned it off

The Terminator - never seen it

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - don’t like it

Transformers - never seen (or played?) it

The Simpsons - seen most of it, love some of it

Barbie - heard the song, nothing more

GI Joe - not a clue who/what that is

He-Man/Masters of the universe - as above

Mickey Mouse - I sometimes watched Mickey mouse club house before school, but wasn’t a huge fan

Toy Story - I watched (and liked) the first two

Looney Tunes - liked it

King Kong - I’ve heard of it but don’t know if it’s a toy or a tv show or what

Godzilla - I saw one of the sequels and enjoyed it

Planet of the Apes - never seen it

Mad Max - never seen it, but I live in Australia and like the outback, so this gets quoted at me at least monthly

The Muppets - I think the Muppets had a cameo in toy story or something, but I don’t really know much about it

The Godfather - I really really tried to watch and enjoy this earlier this year. I turned my phone off so I wouldn’t get distracted, I sat down, I ordered a pizza, I did my very best to watch and enjoy it, but I was so mind numbingly bored by the hour and a half mark that I gave up

Ghostbusters - I think I’ve seen bits and pieces

Alien - no, but I have seen ET

Star Trek - I don’t know or care what the difference is between this and star war

Robocop - I watched one of them on late night tv a few years ago, when I was around half the age it was classified for. Barely remember it

Frankenstein - never seen (or read?) it

Dracula - never seen

Tarzan - never seen

Conan the Barbarian - never even heard of it

Jaws - I saw one

Harry Potter - hate it

The Incredible Hulk - hate ir

The Dollars Trilogy - not a clue who or what this is

Sesame Street - don’t like it

The Hannibal Lecter series - don’t know who or what this is

MASH - I’m pretty sure this was always on after the Simpsons finished at 7, and everybody loves Raymond was on before. I didn’t like either of them. But then again, I was 5 or 6 and only interested in the Simpsons and nothing else, so I probably wasn’t the target audience

I pretty much only browse Lemmy on either /local new/top day, or /all new. But to be fair, I mainly only care about local communities (and I’m on a local instance), and memes. I think if I used a general purpose instance, particularly one without its own communities, I would probably used subscribed mostly

I block about 20 or so communities. A few are ideological ones that although I don’t dislike/disagree with, I just don’t want to hear about, a couple of the star trek ones, pretty much anything with “news” or “politics” in the name, since that tends to be very American centric, or in the case of world news, mostly things only Americans would care about, and I also blocked the Baldur’s gate and helldivers communities because they were constantly in my /all feed a while ago. I also block lemmit.online or whatever it is (an entire instance), because it was just reposts of Reddit posts made by a bot which annoyed me when I wanted to search for things

My instance federates with Lemmy World, but because of some technical issue with server lag, we don’t see posts from lemmy.world for about a week (posts in LW communities from non LW users do pop up, but upvotes and sometimes comments don’t federate, so they won’t appear in all unless I scroll really deep). That has the effect of essentially meaning I don’t see any posts in LW communities in /all unless I sort by top month or new

Neat, TIL!

Let me answer that question in a lot less words than the article:

Does a high-quality camera phone always come with a high price tag?

• no.

Apparently movie 43 is the only movie I’ve ever saved onto my google watchlist. But I don’t generally save my movies onto watch lists

'tis the highest honour

Google docs and sheets don’t support WebP either. Always ironic when they made the fucking format

I’m really grateful that most cheap shit physical stores in my area uses USB C these days. Even most stuff on Amazon and in $2 shops is mostly USB C from what I’ve seen.

The only 2 devices I have that still use micro USB is a small desk vacuum, and my raspberry pi zero W. But I only have a single micro USB cable so I just have an adaptor for my vacuum

I mostly get my games through steam, which allows you to set multiple library locations, and then asks which drive you want them installed on. Besides that, every game or program installer I’ve ever used has asked me which drive I want it installed onto, although sometimes you need to check the custom install box first

No, a lettuce spinner is a little basket inside of a container with a handle that you can spin to turn the basket. You wash your lettuce and put it into the basket and turn the handle. The centrifugal force (I think) causes the water clinging to the outside of the lettuce to drain into the container.

I think if you filled the container and basket partially up with ice or crushed ice) and some water, it’d achieve the same result as the machine someone linked above

I think a lettuce spinner would probably work, since it has a basket inside a container. I might give it a go next time I buy a can of anything
