21·20 hours agoLol, well, maybe if Eeyore would can it once in a while and just let people enjoy things…
4·21 hours agoThe genre doesn’t exist, but it should: “Bedtime Stories: Narrated by Morgan Freeman and Stepehn Fry”.
Seriously, this. I can’t stand to read “the classics” but I love reading things that interest me. Would be nice if schools recognized that and encouraged reading just for the sake of it rather than forcing kids to trudge through endless stanzas of “ye art incorrect and thou must protest this injustice. Oh Horatio! Oh, lamentation this! Lamentation that!” Like, fuck, I lost the plot 3 pages of lamentations ago.
Just let kids do book reports on Harry Potter (or whatever’s cool these days). At least they’re reading and their brain cells are firing.
Provided it’s got a decent narrator, audiobooks are like literal bedtime stories, and a lot of players have “sleep mode” that will either set a timer or stop it after the current chapter. Seems like an easy way to get people into them, IMO.
I have two of Stephen Fry’s autobiographies on audiobook and would basically let his smooth voice lull me to sleep. 😆
7·2 days agoUgh, I had the Sega Master System version (same game) and it was pretty awful.
6·2 days agoSkip episodes become brand new episodes after enough time has passed!
They absolutely do! I was thinking that earlier. They become like your own personal “lost episodes”.
VOY has, by far, the most “skip” episodes for me. Other than “Threshold”, they’re all Chakotay episodes (Tattoo, Nemesis, Initiations, The Fight). Don’t get me wrong. I love Chakotay as a character, but Robert Beltran’s wooden performance is just hard to watch when the rest of the cast isn’t there to offset it.
Maybe it’s because it’s shorter, but I don’t think there are any ENT episodes I skip (not even the finale)
Fair (counter) point. That was basically a clip show which are fair game for skips especially with home media / streaming.
86·2 days agoThe only thing worse than that is emailing them a simple boolean question and then your phone rings.
33·4 days agoI don’t think it’s the fact that certain parts of the country in Sinclair footprints will not see it on TV. It’s that Sinclair is wielding it’s massive footprint as a [partisan] weapon.
Lol, I think that’s how I learned it was possible, too.
yt-dlpuses the title as the filename, and all of the emojis came along with it. Was trying to rename them from terminal, but couldn’t do much when half the filenames started with the fire emoji lol.
4·5 days agoProbably just smells like old upholstery. Taxidermied animals don’t really have a smell
I’ve recently learned that in Linux, you can use emois in filenames. I died a
littlelot inside when I learned that.
3·5 days agoI think I’m just gonna get some Pi Zeros + cameras and just roll my own. Probably use the NoIR versions and some cheap IR illuminators. Feed those into Zoneminder.
Bonus points if I can find some old CCTV cameras, gut them, and fit the pi camera to those optics.
That’s a real hero move, and I appreciate it.
Commenting so I can remember to check back for any suggestions. I’ve basically run into this problem:
I was thinking that or they just have a lot of them.
Neat. I find it interesting that you’re encouraged to touch the exhibit at all. Usually that’s very discouraged.
Definitely different experiences, but yeah, agree. Generally, I only like to listen to the audiobook after I’ve read it (unless there’s no other option). It’s difficult for me to not miss important plot points when I’m listening to it, but that’s probably just my ADHD.
