They are public domain now and on YouTube!

I loved the 1940s Superman cartoon as a kid. they are about 10 minutes each and don’t have dialog. just music and sound effects. Totally still hold up.

I have 2 at work. Sometimes I just have our ticket software on one and Firefox on another both full screen. When works crunching I might have multiple PDF manuals open on one and PDF schematics on another and could use a 3rd for a browser window to search for old similar problems in our daily reports. I’m able to work best when I can keep 1 screen dedicated to what I’m working on and the others for information gathering.

At home I typically just have 1 screen for gaming. I might set my laptop up on the desk if I want to browse the web or chat while playing.

I had a 92 Taurus that made a loud crack when I turned left. Mechanic said engine was about to fall out. Left it parked in front of my house and a cement mixer backed into it and crumpled the front end. Got about 2000 bucks out of a car we were going to scrap.

36 year old and still sleep with stuffed animals. I’ve had them for 30 years and just honestly sleep better with them than a pillow. They are a stuffed wolf named timber and a stuffed dog named woofles.

I think only the real dog judges me, but that’s cause she’s a jealous bitch.

At home mainly records. Rega P6 as a player, marantz amp and totem speakers or koss esp/95x headphones.

On the go Qobuz on my phone to cayin ru7 dac and campfire Andromeda iems.

Yup I tried to go to work this morning but couldn’t make it out of the driveway without the car sliding. Pulled back in as far forwards as possible but an hour later the car has slid back down. It was blocking the sidewalk but I don’t think anyone is walking around in this mess. I was able to get it back in the driveway when stuff started to warm up a little.

I find he’s a very underrated actor because of his spiky hair and icy demeanor.

I’d like to be able to smell crime before it happened.

You can’t buy a new iPod anymore and I remember the full size ones being closer to 300 bucks. Never had a mini or nano so those may have been closer to 100-150.

I’ve been using the first gen of this for a few years. Browsing the library is touch screen but you get physical buttons for play/pause, rev, fwd and volume. I find this to be a good combination of controls. I can skip tracks or change volume from my pocket and if I want to browse the library I think a touch screen is faster than clicking buttons or spinning a dial.

There are a lot of audiophile DAPs around these days and you can get something for 200 bucks that will blow away the MP3 players of yesteryear.

I bought one for my car when Android phones started removing the headphone jack and SD cards. When I got a new car in 2021 it no longer had an aux port. I could still connect the mp3 player with Bluetooth but that was fiddly. The car has a decent ui for playing music off USB stick which is mainly what I do these days.

I still sometimes use the mp3 player because it sounds better and I have a lot of wired headphones but I no longer daily it.

I went to training with coworkers from another site. They were raving about some “documentary” that said the government had alien technology. They kept trying to get me to watch it all week but I just kept saying I forgot.

In reality I watched about 10 minutes and it just set up these alternative history hypothese then reenacted them. It was moronic so I just steered the convo to football or whatever to get them to shutup.

Fruity lager.

My friends and I used to be Four Loko fans back when it had energy drink mixed in. When that got taken off the market we replicated the feeling by drinking a 5 hour energy and a forty.

Well one day my friend decides to pour his 5 hour energy into his forty despite our protests. He takes a big gulp and smacks his lips and says it tastes like a fruity lager.

One by one we all pour our 5 hour energies into our forties and smack our lips and say it tastes like a fruity lager. Finally the last guy does it and takes a sip and immediately spits it out saying it tastes like ass.

We all crack up because we all got tricked and couldn’t let the other guys not drink this nasty swill so everyone played it cool until we were all in it together.

We still text each other Fruity Lager and crack up over a decade later.

Screws. There should only be one blade type maybe torx? Obviously different sizes but one style.

I mean we can’t pronounce Willamette or even couch right so what do you expect.

Preach. This is the biggest thing I try and get everyone to get on board with. More comfy than cotton, stink less and last way longer. I’ve been using the same 12 pairs for almost 10 years with no holes, though some are starting to look threadbare. Meanwhile my coworker goes through a 10 pack of cotton socks a year.

Have you not seen police academy? Being able to imitate sounds is highly useful.

My last name is very similar but not the same as a popular fairly long running TV show title/family name. I got teased about in elementary school and middle school a lot. By high school no one cared even though the show was still on. To this day people still pronounce my last name like the show even though it is obviously a different name if you read it.

I’ve been to conferences where the name tag has a place for pronouns but most people don’t fill them out. 99% of the time it’s safe to assume the pronouns you believe are correct, are correct. If you get told otherwise use the preferred pronouns in the future. If someone freaks out over it after one mistake that’s their problem.

You can also get around pronouns by just using names. I find i rarely need to use pronouns.
