Holyhandgrenade,

They already give you the option of choosing between stereo or 5.1, I don’t see why a low dynamic audio mix would be any different on the technical side.
Then again, a new mix would cost more money.

Holyhandgrenade,

Older TV shows generally have a more even audio mix, because they were mixed for clear dialogue on TV speakers. Nowadays even TV shows have movie theater mixes, despite the fact that no one will ever see these shows in the cinema. I think TV execs just assume way more people have a Dolby Atmos system in their living room than they do in reality. It’s pretty stupid.

Holyhandgrenade,

Tokyo is a machine that runs on blood

Holyhandgrenade,

I once went to an ice cream fair where local women had collected their breast milk to make a breast milk ice cream. It was actually delicious

Holyhandgrenade,

Well he is a proper cabbage patch kid now.

Holyhandgrenade,

Boy this greentext really ages like fine wine huh

Holyhandgrenade,

Yeah why not just expand the dataset it draws from to be less racially biased?
Ah, right, that would require effort.

Holyhandgrenade,

I dump them into a sieve and rinse them off before transferring to another bowl. I also remove the squishy ones.
It should keep the mold spores away for a little longer.

Holyhandgrenade,

Yeah no matter what time I go to bed, if I have to wake up before 8 in the morning I’ll be tired. I’m just not built for early mornings

Holyhandgrenade,

Deranged and smelly and desperate is he

Holyhandgrenade,

There’s a Norwegian prog rock band called Magic Pie, I haven’t seen their bush yet though

Holyhandgrenade,

Yeah most non-native speakers never get this wrong. I wonder if it’s because non-natives learn the language in a structured environment like school, whereas native speakers learn it by absorption, and everyone speaks english long before starting school?
Or maybe it’s just because the American education system is absolutely fucked

Holyhandgrenade,

Could it be that if every kid thinks school sucks, perhaps it’s because the school sucks?

Holyhandgrenade,

Thanks, I hate it

Holyhandgrenade,

How can you rub butter and spices under the skin if the turkey is frozen solid?

Holyhandgrenade,

When a drop of moisture hits the particle board

Holyhandgrenade,

This is why I have little faith in the new Disney Plus Daredevil series.
If it’s not brutal as fuck it won’t be the same

Holyhandgrenade,

180cm is just about the average male height in Sweden. I think you’ll be fine.

Holyhandgrenade,

Yeah I kinda feel like they flubbed the marketing a bit, it should’ve been a box office smash hit

Holyhandgrenade,

Yes but they were artisanal french fries

Holyhandgrenade,

That is what a true leader would do!

Holyhandgrenade,

When I lived in Stockholm my roommate was from Florida. He never left the house with anything but shorts on, even in -20°C, when I (Icelander) was bundled up in three layers, a beanie and mittens.
I don’t know how he could withstand it.

Holyhandgrenade,

I agree that snowy weather isn’t that cold. But shovelling snow in crocs?? There is no worse feeling than that particular cold wetness of snow getting in your shoes. I wear a big snowsuit to prevent any snow from getting on me.

Holyhandgrenade,

Intermissions are standard in Icelandic cinemas, no matter the length of the movie. Since moving to Norway I always forget and my bladder is about to explode at the end of the movie. I don’t think an intermission is necessary for a 90 minute movie, but I think if it’s 2 hours or longer then an intermission should be required.

Holyhandgrenade,

No matter how many times I see this meme reposted, it will always make me chuckle.

Holyhandgrenade,

This is literally the first time I hear about this movie wtf

Holyhandgrenade,

Both are making fun of the same tired commercial phrase, but they are definitely not the same joke.

Holyhandgrenade,

I was shipping her hard with Geordie, then she vanished forever! :(

What's an alternative to Spotify that doesn't play you the same fucking songs over and over?

I am in an intense love-hate relationship with Spotify. It makes good mixes for me, I have found a lot of great bands that way. BUT IT KEEPS REGURGITATING THE SAME SONGS IN THERE. I know about Song Radios and Artist Radios, so please don’t recommend those. Smart Shuttle doesn’t cut it, either....

Holyhandgrenade,

Spotify has that bug too, and it’s infuriating. Whenever I’m on a plane or something I have to put Spotify in “offline mode”, otherwise it just refuses to play all the music I’ve downloaded.

Holyhandgrenade,

Community! If you like The Good Place you’ll love it. It’s my favorite show of all time

Holyhandgrenade,

Farming peasants worked pretty much from sunrise to sunset, sometimes even longer. If you count the number of hours the average medieval peasant worked in a year, it was probably a lot more than we do now.

Holyhandgrenade,

I weant to Peasantville, there’s a documentary on it if you’re interested

Holyhandgrenade,

This is what happens when you base all your business decisions on algorithms, not human feedback

Holyhandgrenade,

I just pirate everything on to a hard drive I plug into my TV. I don’t see the point in streaming files you already own.

Holyhandgrenade,

I have a smart TV where you can just plug in a NTFS formatted USB drive and it plays perfectly. Never had to rename or transcode anything. It plays 4K files more smoothly than most computers I’ve had.
The only problem I’ve had is when I’m watching a foreign film and the subtitle file is in the wrong file format.

Holyhandgrenade,

Lol the screen is like 1/8 of the actual unit

Holyhandgrenade,

It’s more furniture than TV, honestly

Holyhandgrenade,

I have a working theory that Donald Duck comics never got popular in the US because of the ever-present scathing critique of capitalism

Holyhandgrenade,

Donald was always a more appealing character to me than Mickey Mouse because he’s so relateable. He has trouble with love and with money and he’s impulsive and impatient.
Mickey, on the other hand, is such a nothing-character. He’s basically just a brand mascot at this point, with no recognizeable character traits.
And while there are iterations of Mickey that actually give him a personality, it’s much less consistent than Donald.

Holyhandgrenade,

Yeah they probably only created Minnie just to have a female character, without thinking about trivial stuff like a personality. Same for Smurfette

Holyhandgrenade,

Was it also possible to subscribe to the pocket books in Sweden? I had a subscription growing up in Iceland (Donald Duck is huge over there as well)

Holyhandgrenade,

Funny thing is, I feel like the new Ducktales series is the closest TV representation of the comics-versions of the characters. They change some things (most crucially they give Huey, Dewey and Louie individual personality traits), but overall it really feels like watching the European comic books come to life. Scrooge is still too much of a good guy, where in the comics he’s often a kind of villain.

Holyhandgrenade,

The comics were only available in Danish for a while so we mostly took the Danish names, so in Icelandic Donald is Andrés Önd (similar to Anders And).
The nephews are Ripp, Rapp and Rupp (Rip, Rap and Rup in Danish).
Funnily enough there’s a generational gap between people who call Goofy Fedtmule (the Danish name) or Guffi (the Icelandic translation name)!

Holyhandgrenade,

Lol I live in an old house where the electrics are messed up like that. We got a new water heater last year that uses significantly more power than our old one. So if we used the coffee machine (on the opposite side of that floor of the house), we had to unplug the panel heater in the hallway!
We had an electrician install a new breaker for the water heater and that fixed the problem lol

Holyhandgrenade,

Oh shit why did I just realize that now?

Holyhandgrenade,

I honestly didn’t think this would ever happen! I thought all those MP fans that kept complaining about Portnoy’s absence were just being ridiculous, of course he was never gonna rejoin the band.
Well, I guess hell has frozen over.
Mangini is a beast of a drummer but there was a magic with Portnoy that I felt has been missing on the last few albums, so I’m stoked that he’s back!

Holyhandgrenade,

I live in Norway and like every second person is named Chris. There’s Kristoffer, Kristina, Kristine, Kristian etc. and I know at least two people with each of those names.
Whenever my girlfriend refers to any one of them I have to flip through a mental rolodex to figure out who the hell she’s talking about.
I really should start giving them nicknames.

Holyhandgrenade,

…Is the app trying to fuck me?
