  • What are your favourite halloween+christmas movies?

    跳过

  • The first Addams Family movie starts with a Christmas scene and so is set during the Christmas season, but clearly has Halloween vibes throughout. The sequel, Addams Family Values, gets even weirder in this kind of holiday mashup vibe. The kids get sent off to a summer camp, where they are doing a thanksgiving play for some reason. So it's Halloween vibes throughout, with turkeys and pilgrims, but it takes place during the summer.

  • Do you use a system-default or a custom wallpaper for your personal computer? If custom, what kind of wallpaper & why?

    跳过

  • At work, all black, because I prefer working in a darkened room and sometimes I need to use the laptop in sunny conditions full of glare. I have no need of any extra light getting blasted at me not directly related to something I'm working on. Also, I get a kick out of the "Why are your other monitors off?" comments. Also, IT tends to clutter my desktop with a bunch of shortcuts with a hodgepodge of icon styles, it's a lot easier to visually parse these on a black field.

    At home, the media server is directly connected to a TV with HDMI and has a desktop environment. My distributions default wallpapers always come in two varieties, colorful or greyscale. The server automatically logs into a restricted user account for family access to Kodi, retro arch, web browsing, etc., which has the colorful wallpaper. If for some reason I need to get into the admin account with a GUI, the desktop wallpaper is grey. It's like an always-on simplified color coded whoami. Since I almost never interact with this machine except through ssh or the services it hosts, this is the most amount of ricing I'm willing to do.

  • This gives me God Emperor of Dune vibes.

  • It is amazing foundational science fiction story. Once you've read it, you'll see many of its ideas and themes in many other great works of science fiction literature. Perhaps the most recognizable is as the inspiration for the Ewoks from Star Wars. (In my personal opinion inspiration is a bit of a stretch, Ewoks are pretty much a direct copy.)

  • It's like they saw into my kitties mind

  • I think it's more like this...

    Angel: "Push it over the edge and watch it fall."

    Devil: "Drink from it after giving yourself a thorough self cleaning and leave the area before they notice."

  • Just another way to dehumanize.

  • What is a useful or interesting product under $100 that you wouldn’t normally think to buy?

    跳过

  • They work great until they don't. I've had the same experience, be prepared to replace it occasionally because it's usually near impossible to disassemble and clean the pump mechanism completely.

  • Fancy talk

    跳过

  • I use the word pardon because there are lots of local Spanish speakers, tourist/seasonal French Canadian speakers, and occasionally tourists from farther abroad around and I'd rather be understood than pretend everyone speaks English. When speaking to strangers, like when I'm asking forgiveness for being an inconvience to them or trying to politely get someone's attention, preferring loan words that really don't need translation in order to be understood just seems like good citizenship and also more kind.

  • Should sneakers with lights in the sole exist for adults?

    跳过

  • We figured it out in the last millennium, I think we can figure it out again.

    The real reason would probably be that you'd need to make the soles out of rubber again instead of the cheap foam that almost all modern (fast fashion disposable) shoes are made with these days.

  • I have dyspraxia can you guide me buying a liquid measurer?

    跳过

  • There isn't really isn't much call for the level of precision this person is suggesting in most recipes. Liquids mostly aren't going to vary in volume enough to warrant the effort of converting recipes you find. Solids that flow, like sugar and flour are better measured by mass using a scale if you're baking. Oxo makes a scale that I've been pretty happy with (slim, precise, and has a detachable face so that you can read it even when there's a big bowl on top). The OXO brand also has some very easy to read volumetric pictures of various sizes. For lots of uses (like water/rice or water/oatmeal ratios) a measuring cup is still going to be good enough. Even if you feel like you can't read the level all that precisely, it's probably going to be close enough for the vast majority of recipes.

  • What's a song you like with a killer beat?

    跳过
    • Kashmir - Led Zeppelin. Really anything from Physical Graffiti or by John Bonham.
    • Caravan - Buddy Rich
    • The Blues Walk - Max Roach & Clifford Brown
    • Tom Sawyer - Rush. Or really anything else with Neil Peart.
    • John the Fisherman - Primus. They won't be the same since Tim "Herb" Alexander left the band, but I'm sure he has his reasons.(also: Hamburger Train, Over the Electric Grapevine, Tommy the Cat, Mr. Knowitall, Harold of the Rocks)
    • Discipline - King Crimson (also: Thela Hun Ginjeet and most of the rest of the album, which seems to mostly treat the guitar as a percussion instrument more than most.)

    Sorry if these are cliche.

  • That's not what happened in the show though.

    What actually happened: She read her grandmother's journal that had surprisingly spicy bits. Went to bed and was raped by a non-corporeal being and deceived into thinking it was a dream. She then tried to rationalize this disturbing dream to her close friend and therapist.

    Trying to twist this into something else is just creepy

  • Again with the toxic shaming. Nobody, except you, said anything about masturbation. Stop being fucking weird.

    Wait are you Rick Berman?

  • So what? You're awfully proud of your hangups. Everybody's grandmother had a lover or lovers. Everybody's grandmother FUCKED. Stop making totally normal life experiences weird and shameful.

  • There are lots of ways to fill a 2D space with a single non-crossing path. I'm sure counting the ways could be interesting to some. I guess you'd prefer a zig-zag oriented orthogonal to the sides, rather than the corners. This orientation fills the frame of a photo a little better though given the perspective. You could also make a spiral. I think the Hilbert space filling curve is way more interesting, but probably would make for a confusing photo.

  • I guess women aren't allowed to be sexual? No excusing the other sexist Rick Berman nonsense. But if you really think women reading about, finding pleasure in, and talking about erotic literature with their friends and co-workers isn't a fairly common, mundane, and totally normal thing to do without any shame, then I really don't know what to say. This feels like a really creepy thing to take issue with.

    You can save the entire ship, cure random space diseases, raise a child alone on a starship faced with existential threats on the daily, but you fuck one ghost and now men only see you as the ghost-fucker.

  • They are trapped in an artificial reality. They (the characters in the show, not the real people) didn't do a full loop. They went straight out and got dimensional flipped back inside
