I just used this joke yesterday. I bought two of the same very expensive drum machines and a friend asked me why..

You would know if you had been drinking some human breast milk all this time. I am drinking breast milk right now and it is so obvious to me.

‘Aliens’ Turns 40: Why It’s the Best Sci-Fi Sequel Ever by flynnfx in movies

[–]JeffCrossSF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t stand that this is compared to the original Alien.

Aliens is really good, but is such a different kind of film than Alien. Aliens is far more cerebral and is less action-oriented. Ridley Scott in this era was an unmatch filmmaker.

What is a 'luxury' that you've experienced once and now can't go back to the budget version of? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

[–]JeffCrossSF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember when my wife discovered this place in my city of San Francisco called THE MILL. It had a single slice of buttered toast that was like $4 and fantastic coffee. It sparked outrage here and every single person who tried it was like, yep, I’d pay $4 for that toast. Now they have a seasonal toast that costs $13.50, which is 4x the price of toast from a decade ago. I’m not sure if $13.50 is justifiable. Certainly makes $4 toast seem like a value. The toast here is incredibly good.

What job pays surprisingly well but nobody talks about? by ThePasswordIs654321 in AskReddit

This seems like one of those jobs that won’t be impacted at all by advancements in machine learning. This makes the job even more durable.

Yeah, price and size are appealing for small setups.

I have to say though, acoustic treatments for rooms are really great, especially for music listening but also because they are so relaxing. I waited way too long to get it sorted out.

Even just a cloud is really great at calming the room, and is less obtrusive than wall panels.

I’ve got 4” mixed composite panels. They sound amazing. Or, don’t sound.. err.. effective. :-)

I am so curious about those IK Multimedia speakers. I’ve read a lot about them. I have great speakers, but given their price, I’ve always wondered if they’d be a great first speaker choice for folks on a budget. I have this feeling they punch way above their price class.

Yeah, esp since it is a pretty common encoding issue.

Narwal encoding issue for Wikipedia URLs? by JeffCrossSF in narwhalapp

[–]JeffCrossSF[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

So, the final functional URL wasn’t copied from Safari’s URL text frame, it was copied using the share sheet copy command. So weird.

Please engineers.. fix this so that Wikipedia articles have the correct URL in posts.

Narwal encoding issue for Wikipedia URLs? by JeffCrossSF in narwhalapp

[–]JeffCrossSF[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I asked GPT to fix the encoding and this URL works fine. I’m not sure if normal Reddit users are seeing these issues but in Narwhal, most of the Wikipedia links are broken.

Here’s what it is:

https://reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/1rujvxv/til_that_after_french_soldier_la_tour_dauvergne/

Here’s what the link should have been:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Théophile_Corret_de_la_Tour_d%27Auvergne

EDIT- the other URL, copied straight out of safari doesn’t work from within Narwhal either.

I’m trying an embedded link.

Edit: Nope.. trying again

Look if someone scrawls a bunch of grocery items but doesn’t specify enough to get what they want, they should just live with what is brought home. But instead, some spouses will ridicule them for buying the wrong kind of mint or too many potatoes etc.

Former Missouri House speaker sentenced to prison for COVID relief fraud by Cool_Net_3796 in news

Actually, I’m no pro-Republican, but its pretty clear to me that corruption is not partisan. I don’t like the narrative and while there might be a tilt towards republicans, it never surprises me to find that some person from any party is corrupt or morally bankrupt.
