I can kind of understand the people who speed up audiobooks and podcasts. But movies? That’s nuts. |
I wonder if OP was alive during the VCR era. I bet they would have loved the FF button. AKA chipmunk mode.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. As much as I want to imagine 400 million people switched from windows, to Linux or mac, I suspect it’s more likely that a lot of people just don’t need any other computer besides their phone these days.
Hackers.
The only reason we bought it was because my dad’s cousin was an extra in one of the classroom scenes. As a result I watched more times than I could count, and love cyberpunk stuff.
A few years back, someone at corporate made an Excel based “program” for planning our trade shows. It was the most rage inducing rickety ass bullshit contraption I have ever had to deal with. It was basically a data entry wizard GUI for a spreadsheet. But it would crash every 2-3 entries, and lose all the data that had been added since the last save. The only way to save the data involved closing it and restarting it. So I had to close/reopen after every entry just to keep from having to risk redoing it all multiple times.
I don’t want to defend this astrology for incels BS. But I will say that the descriptions seem surprisingly positive. Usually when I hear people spouting this crap it’s more along the lines of “If you aren’t an Alpha, you are a Beta cuck little bitch” or similar.
Terrible drill bit. Mediocre taffy puller. Adequate paint mixer.
Yep. Woman I dated in college. After we broke up she found out my class schedule and signed up for the same electives.
The only way I finally got her to leave me alone was to introduce her to the man she’s now been married to for 15 years.
I think what they mean is that the plastic caps were scratched up in storage before being applied to the bottles, so plastic dust on the inside of the cap before it was installed.
You should just be happy that we aren’t all still calling it “tin.”
Americans can’t do high speed rail because we have aircraft, automobile, and petroleum industries who don’t want us to.
He got off safely. What a relief.
I’m going to put in another recommendation for Ex Officio underwear. Most comfortable I have ever tried. I’ve been wearing them exclusively since I discovered them 10+ years ago. The oldest pairs lasted 8ish years before the elastic started to give out.
I’ve had a cheap IKEA “ORDNING” scale for a decade, and I think I have changed the battery once. Though it appears to have been discontinued, and replaced with a very different looking model.
I’m not sure, but probably not “Red Dawn”
When I visited France, I always attempted to speak French, and would explain in French that I was very bad at it, and I only had good interactions where people seemed to appreciate the attempt and would switch to English for me or if they didn’t speak English we would just use google translate. Even in Paris.
I’ve often thought about the idea that there is really no such thing as true altruisim. Because no matter what, you feel good about doing good. Even if you don’t tell anyone about the good thing you did, you still get a good feeling from it, therefore there is some inherent selfishness involved no matter what.
Of course there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. People should absolutely being doing good things and get to feel good about it.
I too have wondered about this. I doubt I will ever think to ask a chatbot a thing I would normally just “google” using a search engine. Sifting through search results is a skill/habit honed over 25+ years that just makes more sense to me. I also don’t trust AI to answer correctly.
It runs most switch games better than the switch. You just can’t play any of them online. (At least not easily, AFAIK.)
