I watched that movie when I was a kid and genuinely liked it. (I do still have really broad taste, the question can be answered for me with “most media, apparently”)

It has a special place in my heart as one of a few dozen vhs we had that I could watch with no restrictions. (One of the banned movies was A clear and Present Danger, and I still don’t know why because I can’t stay awake through it because its boring. Another was Pulp Fiction. Maybe the first was a ruse!)

Is it a good movie? Idk. But smeat is still funny to me in ways that probably would have hit the same if I’d watched it today for the first time, so…

That or he’ll start asking for the antedate first so the ice cream washes the taste away

Already out. Got sterilized in my 20s. Don’t need to be passing on this disaster of a genome.

If i released those into my neighborhood, the parents would egg my house. :(

You are rolling along minding your own business, and suddenly out of nowhere a portapotty starts stalking you down the street. You dont need to use a bathroom but it just keeps silently following you, maintaining a distance that is both comforting and creepy as hell. You feel watched, because you are. Both by the portapotty and by everyone in the vicinity who are waiting to see if you do need to use the bathroom. Those algorithms are always right, thats what the marketing said anyway.

N64 era 3-D is super nauseating and rough. I genuinely can’t play those games.

I enjoy seeing the handwash lines on their arms.

If you do, which I very highly recommend because RO water genuinely tastes amazing (I don’t like tap water anymore, it’s gross and chemical-ly), especially out of stainless steel or glass drinkware, I encourage you to get one with a pump and a 6 gallon tank if you can find a place for the tank to go.

The pump reduces the wasted water to about 1:1 (non-pumped is about 4:1 wastewater to RO), and unless you really don’t use much water, 6 gallons is the way to go, especially if you have multiple people living there, or might do in the future. You might not need it often, but if you ever have company or get an aquarium or anything you’ll be so glad you have the big tank.

The 3 gallon tank I have is adequate for me alone, and would probably be ok for 2 people, but when I do drain it, which I do when making broths, soups, beer, big ice tea batches, etc. or even just filling jugs to take camping, it takes about 4 hours to refill (dont have pump driven, those might go faster, im not sure)

And if you get one, make sure you clean the tank annually. I did not know for half a decade that bleaching regularly, which is pretty easy to do, is important to prevent bacterial growth. Mmm tasty.

I’m hopeful that I’m far enough removed from anyone who uses Facebook that this won’t be a problem for me. The people I regularly talk to don’t use Facebook, and those who might use it I hardly ever talk to.

Then again I’m sure they have a profile on me anyway, depending how confident they are with my anonymized browsing… I don’t see ads (thanks pihole!), so I wouldn’t know how well targeted things are.

A squirrel once fell out of a tree a few feet away from me and went splat on the sidewalk. Sat dazed for a minute or so then ran off. Absolutely hilarious.

New headcannon is it was aiming for an owl and missed. :)

So I had to look this up because Wisconsin has similar weird demographics skewing heavily toward independent. In the case of Wisconsin, its because party registration stopped some time after 2004, when I first registered (meaning I’m permanently registered as a dem, even if I don’t want to be, because we no longer have a mechanism to change it), and we now have open primaries instead.

TN is similar in that they don’t require party registration, and they have open primaties which makes registering pointless. I wasn’t really able to find info on whether or not you still CAN register with a party if you really want to, but I’m kinda guessing no for the same reason you can’t in Wisconsin. They just don’t maintain those systems anymore because they don’t need them.

I don’t think states with closed primaries or required party registration have nearly the same level of independent population, and thus influence from independents, but I’m sure that’s on the rise too, as dems have spent decades alienating their base.

What does that mean? I’m old and/or midwestern. Take pity.

Movie any good? Worth finding?

Mine was a 2012 as well, actually :) Didnt look like that tho :) probably different markets rather than either of us being wrong :)

What model year is that? My dash looked nothing like that, but was way old, like 2012 or so.

I traded up my civic for a bolt. It felt civic-minded. Cuz man i got the lemon.

Loved that civic, but zero regrets. This ev is way better.

That tracks, it didn’t sound like burton but I havent seen those other things so I dont have a sound profile for that individual, I guess.

So none of this was levar burton? I’m faceblind in like the best of circumstances, so idk, thats why I was asking for infodump context and not videos or something specifically. 😊

Wow man I guess I need to know more about a select few people (I try to avoid knowing too much, I dont want parasocials)

Unless someone very nice wants to infodump at me about it which would be strongly preferable and something lemmy might supply if I ask very very nicely, which everyone else also probably wants to know…

Please lemmy daddy, please give me context ☺️🥰

Genuinely probably easier to manage when its just always one temp extreme versus having to keep track of major weather changes and how that plus activity impacts and all.

At least with warm you can just assume its too hot. And probably be right.

I mean, in winter, overheating is easy if you don’t plan in layers and take them off according to the outside temp and how it makes you personally feel. And if you live in a place with winter you have to keep track of so many temps through the year and whether or not a body can manage them… more temperate means less caution for extremes.

I wear shorts when its above 40, as long as that happens between December and July. When it happens in August to December, its so cold because my blood hasn’t thickened, so i don’t.

Edit to add: i sent a message directly to make sure this was passed along but one of the youtube creators I watch does diy material science stuff, and one of his recipes is a PCM (phase change material) made from salts that stays cool, not cold, for dozens of hours. Very long time. Feels like the cool side of a pillow for half of forever.

So here’s that video
