In ear earbuds. I blimmin’ hate them but my Audio Technica over ears are too bulky for the gym.

Bit off topic, though if anyone could recommend cheap but decent wireless headphones, for the gym, that are not in ear I would appreciate it a lot (I’m in the UK).

Maybe you’re not noticing the difference between 720p to 1080p is due to the decoding used. The rips with a lower file size often get there by means of compression, and some uploaders (such as YIFY) heavily compress the videos to where I don’t even notice much of a difference, however I’m going to assume you’re not downloading the 3GB (average size for HQ) 1080p film.
Then again eyesight plays a role along with display.

I wouldn’t bother with 4K usually, however once I upgraded to a 1440 monitor downscaling from 4K actually provides a fair bump in overall sharpness and detail (some films more than others), however the file size is usually over 10GB per film.

Someone I knew had a cat named Cali, in Arkansas a number of years ago. Had a brother named Fornia.

Cali looked just like this pic. Crazy coincidence.

I’m waiting for piracy. DRM hackers go brrrrrr

I am coincidentally also 35, and had similar sentiments following my most “recent” divorce (4 years ago!)

Your comment is bang on mate. The second to last paragraph really hits home but it’s something that I really needed to acknowledge and accept if I ever wanted to move on.

Went to a gig recently, was in a mosh pit for the first time in over a decade, and a fucking LOVED every bit of it, bruising and all.
You just gotta find your vibe, and it takes effort, but once you do others will see your vibe and want to jiggle with you (I’m not great at analogies hopefully this makes sense).

Different people feel comfortable with different names. For a while, and still today, many people refer to it as High Functioning Autism however many people find offense in using that term for themselves.

At the end of the day it is an autism diagnosis, and simply saying Autism often works fine. Most of the time I say I have Autism as it makes things easier for others if I don’t go on long explanations. For what it’s worth I was diagnosed as having Asperger’s Syndrome many years ago (in 2004), however I personally find no offense in the term ‘high functioning autism’ though only because it fits my own self.

I’m sorry, I’m really sorry… I love the tribute, it’s very sweet, but I really can’t stop seeing the cat version of the Ronaldo bust.

Prince William Pears. They’re so sweet and juicy!! So juicy it always dribbles down my chin when I take a bite.

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one with this idea.

I remember when all of my friends would laugh at the iPod Nano, when it released as being super thin, due to all the people accidentally sitting on them or other easy ways in which they broke.

I would prefer it if manufacturers made phones with smaller screens, so I can actually use it with one hand without some janky workaround (like right/left handed modes on Google Keyboard).

Lol I just noticed I did this. Serves me right for getting on Lemmy after medicating! Thanks haha

Similar situation with punk. There are still Nazi Punks, but they’re asking for trouble at most gigs or areas with that sort of influence. From Dead Kennedys to Chumba Wamba, folks make it known these days they’re not welcome. Shame about the few bands here and there still spreading the rhetorics, yet barking dogs will always be heard in the distance…

If anyone was wondering, that’s the Last Office Chair, and can be found here.

Yeah I’m unsure what people are saying with it being a ‘turnaround’. It’s still a mess.

I’m glad I still have this on my Steam account, from before the buyout from Epic.

Going to see NOFX next month, during their final tour. I can’t wait to sing My Vagina out loud with a big crowd.

I have a feeling everyone is missing this crucial bit of context.

American Jelly, in regards to Peanut Butter and Jelly, is often made from fruit juice of usually concord grapes.

Grassroot efforts at building things for improving the lives of the disabled has been done, although there are reasons for why they don’t get as much exposure. Reading about your Lego Mindstorms project made me think of what people were doing in early 90s Cuba.
When the Soviets left, Cubans relied on things like Olivo Verde (I think it was called, translated to Green Olive), a couple of books encouraged by Che Guevara to reuse items for all sorts of things. Some of those things included motorised wheelchairs for some folks to get around.

There is a website I believe named after one of those Cuban projects, the Rikimbili, which outlines a lot of the stuff.
