the only thing that pops into my head that has that "eerie louisiana" thing going on is Sharp Objects. its a different kind of story altogether but worth the watch i think, and if you dont like it at least the soundtrack is mostly led zepplin as well as lots of slow motion shots of amy adams looking nice

a front facing camera scanning your face? that could sort of count as genetic maybe i dunno

and i dont think my pasty white skin could handle the heat in australia. time to crack open duolingo again!

so dedicated haha

apropos

if you are trying to remember the name of some command line utility you can use apropos, for example:

apropos zip

i prefer using something shorter though:

alias eh='apropos'

they could just turn it into a fun slide for kids

100% crappy portrait effect you get on most phones these days. everything behind the fox is blurred, everything around the edge looks crap but the actual fox looks real and there are no errors or weird things going on

you are probably getting confused with the shitty portrait FOV effect, which could technically be "AI" depending on what phone brand it is, but the whole image is not generated by an "AI"

thats making me think of the guy in Intermission

never knew about that!

our brains are mostly wired to care about ourselves and our immediate needs first, so its always going to be a struggle

wuut. they havnt even released season 4 yet /s

CDs are too bulky. miniDiscs are the way to go

uhggg thats going to be a kick in the nads when the star citizen servers shut down at some point in the future

sugar too. i know most people think that sugar isn't a drug but it is and its pretty bad for your health as well. its also extremely hard to avoid since its in almost everything.

the stupid thing is that the same people that complain about cannabis will let their kids eat chocolate/sweets/fizzy drinks from an early age without even giving it a second thought

there needs to be a website where each candidate has their own page. they each get the exact same amount of space to add a photo and a paragraph or 2 of text explaining what they are about

ban candidates from sending out leaflets and instead send out a single booklet for each household with the same into that's on the website. you can opt out from getting it in the future if you have access to the internet.

ban all election posters on roads so we arent being distracted while we drive. just have a few generic posters here and there to advertise the website and that theres an election coming up

it couldnt be that expensive to run compared to what candidates are spending right now?

and it would make things more fair since you wouldn't have situations where certain people end up getting more exposure because they can afford to print more posters and leaflets

you can still plug in most keyboards into an android phone or tablet if you use an OTG cable, or theres bluetooth ones either

swiss army man

great photo op there. the who's who of who cares

lovely mood light above the bed there. very romantic

watching at home also means you get to put on subtitles or at least rewind 10 seconds if you couldnt figure out what somebody mumbled. i watched fury road this evening and there were SO many things i didnt pick up on before. like the guy drinking milk and saying "moo" or Nux talking about "mcFeasting" lol

yea theyre really taking the piss these days. imax is 30 minutes as well. i went to omniplex for a change to see this and was pleasantly surprised that it was only 10 minutes. i would recommend you just keep a note of the preshow times for whatever cinemas you go to and also book your tickets online so you can just get there for when the movie actually starts. all the trailers are on youtube anyway

i couldnt be bothered searching for it now, but i was eating pringles one day many years ago and i was wondering if there were any articles that talked about what is put on the pringles that makes them taste so nice. stumbled on some guy's blog where he explained at length how pringles were really just unused/leftover mcdonalds chips. then in the same blog post he talked about and even crazier theory that the government puts little nano bots into the pringle dust so they can track you, or ehh control your mind or something like that

ive seen lots of people over the years on the internet claim they could survive without eating. but these people werent exactly doing much anyway so not that hard. try working 12 hour shifts on a building site and see how long you will last without food
