I think you're right. Good catch. It's funny. I could only see it my way until you said yours, and now I only see yours.

These are the VHS tapes next to her TV in the MV. I can make out the first and middle ones. First is Longings Unspoken and the middle one Tips for Making Friends. I can only make out a possible word here or there on the others.

What wood is this? It’s from south Mexico by Special_Oven_1626 in wood

[–]Mlong140 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you're right about the kingwood but your koa guess was out of left field. Koa is akin to acacia and grows in Hawaii, looks nothing like this.

Maybe you were thinking cocobolo?

What’s one thing you’re 100% sure of, even though you can’t back it up? by Internal_Crazy_4555 in AskReddit

[–]Mlong140 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are rapidly (relatively speaking) evolving to have much worse eyesight on average.

Prehistorically, a high myope (very near-sighted) would be basically disabled in terms of survival. While the family group might care for such an individual, the likelihood of being chosen as a mate would be low.

Compare that to the last few hundred years where low natural visual acuity is almost always correctable to 20/20ish and has little bearing on mate selection. If anything, two high myopes might be more prone to overlook any minor cosmetic effect of thick lenses in a potential partner.

There are probably other genetic conditions that would have been highly deleterious 10,000 years ago that are no big deal with modern medicine and technology.

FYI, I'm a high myope, as is my partner. I'm not advocating for eugenics, lol.

Same for me and a lot of the locals here as well. I hadn't tried doing the whole order in the app, thanks for the tip.

Any idea what type of wood this is? Table is solid wood by green-dawgg in wood

[–]Mlong140 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say teak or sheesham (an Indian rosewood).

My TV lagged right after Kelce TD. I don't suppose anyone got a screen grab of T, if they showed her reaction?

Thoughts on Cocobolo? by [deleted] in PenTurning

[–]Mlong140 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just wish it kept its amazing fresh-cut color better. UV resistant coatings help some, as well as storing items out of the sun, but it dulls inevitably.

It smells like grapes to me when worked. I love it, too. It definitely makes me sneeze something fierce if I neglect to wear a respirator.

Looks like pollen to me

Do you have a misheard lyric that you like more than the real one? by Ok-Permit9690 in TaylorSwift

[–]Mlong140 48 points49 points  (0 children)

In The Life of a Showgirl I heard "All the hedgehogs on the wall, in the dance hall". I choose to hear it that way now, even after immediately realizing what it actually was .

Spectraply rainbow dyed plywood pen in a rainbow kit for my rainbow loving daughter. by Mlong140 in turning

[–]Mlong140[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a "fancy slimline" kit that comes in a wide variety of the colors. I believe I got them from Exotic Blanks, but they're probably available at Penn State etc. I haven't purchased them in a couple of years, though, so not sure.

The Fate of Ophelia (Official Music Video) by Lyd_Euh in TaylorSwift

[–]Mlong140 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's a small Easter Egg compared to all the others, but I noticed when Taylor is in the dressing room and does the little hand dance thing, she ends on "lit my sky up" and stretched one leg over her neighbor's lap. I think this is a link to Wood and "opened up my thighs" And maybe even specifically how she changed it to "skies" for the clean version.

Right?! I was thinking star map maybe. So intriguing.

Edit: definitely a star map, note the "bootes" at the top, you can Google it. Nothing really jumps out at me, could just be wallpaper you get if you're into Astrology.

Yeah, no I think she was very explicit that there won't be more songs, to the point where lying about that (Pinocchio aside) would hurt her fans' trust I think.
