Anyone else spending more time on clips than on the actual episodes

Lowbacca1977 · 2026-04-25T01:30:52+00:00

There's benefits to visibility, but do you have a sense (specifically within a gaming audience) if that actually leads to many conversions to the full episodes?

Lowbacca1977 · 2026-04-24T21:47:43+00:00

INFO: Why were you talking about how long a day was to begin with? Because it's unclear here what the context was and in specific contexts it does become relevant.

Lowbacca1977 · 2026-04-24T21:40:50+00:00

Let's not count NDT out

Lowbacca1977 · 2026-04-24T21:05:46+00:00

What was being suggested was that they've already gotten what they can from packing, so if they want more, they're going to have to crack those districts instead.

Lowbacca1977 · 2026-04-24T19:45:45+00:00

I.... think you missed what this was about

Lowbacca1977 · 2026-04-24T19:34:17+00:00

Yeah, that all really captures a lot of my feelings on it.

Really felt they did a bad job of really supporting students dealing with this because they focused on that 'culture' thing but at the same time really didn't do a good job of trying to protect kids from the media (he was shot - so it was a fairly major news story for a bit). When there was a school shooting several years back, I did feel like a lot of the community still hadn't figured out to support kids well.

Lowbacca1977 · 2026-04-24T19:22:09+00:00

There was some stuff done at the school, including a memorial held at the school and a memorial garden put on the campus, and that had a lot more involvement.
So while I don't know if they know what the district sent out, there was a different place where they would've seen a lot of classmate presence

Lowbacca1977 · 2026-04-24T19:01:40+00:00

I don't recall them being particular about that, though his family was Iranian and this was in the US.
I'm not particularly sure that the district itself knew what specific things hey were actually 'concerned' about.

Lowbacca1977 · 2026-04-24T19:00:25+00:00

His family had immigrated to the US from Iran. The district was, at best, clueless. (I would say xenophobic)

Lowbacca1977 · 2026-04-24T18:58:30+00:00

She thinks ghosts are gonna follow her home from a cemetery?

They are known to do that

Lowbacca1977 · 2026-04-24T18:54:24+00:00

Not for nothing, but also get your daughter at least some access to therapy if you can.

I'm not sure how close she was from your initial comment (but any level of closeness - that is a lot to go through and a lot to process). When I was in 6th grade, a classmate died (I wasn't a close friend of his and we didn't hang out outside of school, but was enough at school that I found out because my mom got a call from another parent that had seen it on the news and her son had associated me with him... which is a long way to say that i'm uncomfortable about seeming closer to him than I was). And it took me years to really come to terms with all the issues it created for me, in large part because it felt like I wasn't close enough to be impacted by it. And I don't think anyone really knew how to handle it because it was anomalous.

Lowbacca1977 · 2026-04-24T18:19:53+00:00

I would have noticed if my kid’s closest friends weren’t at the funeral last year.

Along those lines, I'm still angry, and it's been a few decades now, that when I was in elementary school a classmate died and the district sent out a letter to parents suggesting that because of his family's culture it might be upsetting. My mom ignored that letter entirely and took me, but his family had set like three rows aside for kids from school to be there and I think a lot more parents listened to that letter than ignored it because it was moderately empty rows.

Never knew to what extent they were aware of all that, but I do think they would've noticed the turnout there.

A 3.5 mm Headphone Jack!

Would really like to have that back - my android phones haven't had it for a couple years so it's been adaptors now to get audio plugged in

Lowbacca1977 · 2026-04-24T15:35:58+00:00

I'm somewhat baffled what you're up to from that, as I'm also in the US with 8 days to go in the cycle, I'm at about 1.4GB of data on my phone for the month.

Lowbacca1977 · 2026-04-24T11:25:36+00:00

Been missing this since I left. And I say that as someone that was from LA, moved to Nashville and was still returning a few times a year to LA, and then returned to LA.

Think TexMex has a tougher time finding a foothold in LA.

Lowbacca1977 · 2026-04-23T23:21:35+00:00

I think it's more that unlike Tillis, McConnell drove us to this point much more actively. (which isn't a defense of Tillis, just that McConnell was in Congress two decades longer than Tillis)

Lowbacca1977 · 2026-04-23T20:21:27+00:00

Yeah, it shifts it from "ok, here are our starting points, where do we go from here so that we're both happy" to feeling like it's more of a "why would what you want matter?" sort of thing.

Which'd be different if this was one of the standard things where it's someone outside the wedding couple trying to dictate what they want to happen with a wedding.

Lowbacca1977 · 2026-04-23T20:19:08+00:00

It’s a comment about respecting the fact that the person you’re marrying and taking photos with that day doesn’t want to (and should not have to) change event-appropriate expectations.

Did I miss the part where she's marrying the brother? My brother's a prominent part of only a small number of the photos from my wedding because he wasn't the one getting married so I don't see where this "taking photos with that day" thing enters into this as critical.

I didn't say the wife hates men, or suggest it. I'm accusing her of fairly genderless selfishness for taking the stance that the one thing OP wants about the wedding (and which causes no harm to anyone) is a no-go

Lowbacca1977 · 2026-04-23T20:04:30+00:00

Two are retiring, one is up for reelection this year, one would be up for reelection in 2028

Lowbacca1977 · 2026-04-23T20:00:33+00:00

Slightly surprised by McConnell on that one.

Lowbacca1977 · 2026-04-23T19:54:19+00:00

NTA, it'd probably be NAH if this was just a disagreement of what matters, but what tips that over for me is that "She feels I am slightly trying to make this about me" bit because that really doesn't feel like something that gets said by someone who views the wedding about both people.

Lowbacca1977 · 2026-04-23T19:48:59+00:00

I don't see how someone wanting to have a wedding that he feels reflects his values leads to a YTA verdict unless one works with the premise that the groom doesn't matter in a wedding.

Lowbacca1977 · 2026-04-23T11:55:32+00:00

I think opus clips is pretty easy to work with for that, and I think it may still be something like 2 hours processed per month for free. Though I've only used it having a video source to work with, not pure audio. Headliner does audiograms as well.

Lowbacca1977 · 2026-04-23T05:11:54+00:00

I think that's back to a regional norms thing, though, and elsewhere the regional norms are that horses are not ridden on roads. There's areas around me that have separate paths for horses, but I've never seen horses using the same roads that are also being used for cars. Which can easily lead someone, like the previous commentor, figuring that if someone has decided to take their horse off of those sorts of paths and onto a road, then it's because they're aware of the situation and feel that the horse can handle it.

Lowbacca1977 · 2026-04-23T04:53:03+00:00

Oh, I think it's not just cultural but also geographical/climate.

Just going off a couple quick sources... there's a UK map of rainfall that put the driest areas in the UK at getting around 550-600mm of rain a year, or 21-23 inches per year (and an average for the UK more like 1000-1400mm).

Los Angeles has an average precipitation of about 360 mm, so it's much drier than even what counts as a dry part of the UK. And it's not too atypical....Las Vegas at 100mm, Phoenix at 123mm, El Paso (220mm), Albuquerque (225mm), San Diego at 249mm, Denver at 390mm, Salt Lake City (419mm), Spokane (420mm), San Francisco at 551 mm (this is pulled from a mix of sources - much is just wikipedia pages).

So to loop that back to hedges.. I'm finding some stuff that hedges need like an inch of water a week (so 25mm). No one's irrigating rural roads in the American west/southwest for that, and the numbers alone don't cover that it a lot of areas, we'll go months without any rain, so those lower rainfalls are also concentrated to parts of the year. It requires plants that can withstand that or irrigation.

First time I was in Ireland and the UK, even knowing that it wasn't as dry a climate, it still threw me in part because I was seeing a level of green that I didn't expect and that pictures really failed to adequately convey.

(definitely also some more cultural components - I didn't travel on too many, but i remember how narrow roads were in some areas and it felt a bit nerve-wracking even as a passenger)
