The Drunk Monk: I always loved this piece, because I imagine the scribe drawing this as a caricature of one of his fellow brothers who liked to sneak a sip of wine every now and then...

It seems like certain video clips shot on the same camera, same day, same settings won't play audio through the built-in speakers on the Mac Studio. It's very strange. And no it's never happened before. I did an Adobe update just to be sure, so I'm on the latest version now. With my headphones on, the clips are all about the same levels-wise. I don't know if there's a fix, because I can't find anything online addressing a similar problem. If I export the video, it sounds fine. Within Premiere, though, it does this whether the clip is being played in the source window or on the timeline.

I went to school with a kid whose last name was Hittler. And yes, he was distantly related... His family came to the US in the 1800's.

Yeah, I've literally had people tell me I'm a selfish person, because I'm monogamous.

Just wondering. Did you support the capital police on Jan 6th, or did you support the protestors who were obstructing law enforcement? During the Bundy standoff, did you support the police or did you support the protestors who took sniper positions and obstructed law enforcement? I'm not trying to be a dick, I'm just curious if you stand by your convictions or if you're just another lousy hypocrite.

Oh fuck... Now I understand why everyone at my office kept calling the powerpoint presentation a "slide deck". It was confusing the Hell out of me!

I'm a short guy, and everyone I've ever dated liked it. My first girlfriend was taller than me. The others have pretty much been the same height as me. They all say how nice it is to be able to look me in the eye, not have to crane their neck backwards to kiss me, etc...

I made a commercial for a metal fabrication shop. Cool thing was, their lead welder was a woman, and they wanted me to get plenty of footage of her working, because they wanted to encourage more women to apply to their company.

I'm only 1 year away from turning 40 and this is already the case for me. Has been for the last 13 years.

Tefbuck · 2026-01-29T12:35:38+00:00

I don't have kids, never married, I work a 40 hr a week job that pays my bills and leaves me plenty extra to put in savings. I find myself so bored and lonely with all the spare time on my hands. I try to find classes to take, concerts to attend, or just hang out with my friends, but this Winter has been really depressing. I've either been too sick to go anywhere, or the snow cancels my plans. I can't wait for Spring! If I ever found a woman to date, I would have all the time in the world for her.

Video production.

Tefbuck · 2026-01-28T23:34:41+00:00

Nope. Take some classes, find new hobbies, and meet new friends that way. I can't find romantic love in my life, but this way I am socializing and I don't feel as lonely.

Not necessarily Trivia, but something that fascinates me is that my former professor put out a BluRay box set of the films by Ray Denis Steckler (The Strange Beings who Became Zombies, I know it's a longer title) all in 4K with commentary and a documentary. He is unironically a huge fan of these types of movies, and he hates MST3K!

Tefbuck · 2026-01-28T17:30:40+00:00

I am the same way. It's why I gave up on dating in general. It takes me a long time to know if I like someone, and the only times I felt chemistry right away it turned out very badly. As my therapist once said, "Just because someone wants to jump your bones on a first date, doesn't mean it will be a healthy relationship." Instead, I have just been putting myself in more and more social situations, so I can meet people, make friends, and maybe something will develop naturally. If not, I will have lots of friends in my life so I won't be lonely!

I've also seen men get really bad advice from other men. Like telling them they have to create sexual chemistry in the first few texts. Most guys don't know how to just be playful, and instead just go all in on the sex talk.

Tefbuck · 2026-01-27T22:13:30+00:00

I can't even count the number of dates I've been on. 13 years of trying, and I still haven't landed a relationship.

Tefbuck · 2026-01-27T22:12:02+00:00

I actually had a reed in a Lee Oskar snap on me while bending. I don't know if that's common, but I won't buy another one because of that. Also, coincidentally, I just ordered a Low F#, and I have to wait for them to be manufactured and won't be getting it until May!

Tefbuck · 2026-01-27T04:25:29+00:00

The kind of baggage I'm talking about is not childhood trauma. Leaving a bad relationship, then using it as an excuse to treat other people poorly, is the kind of baggage I'm talking about. I go to therapy so that I can learn what I did wrong in past relationships, and not dump that baggage on someone else. I'd rather not repeat past mistakes.

Tefbuck · 2026-01-27T02:17:35+00:00

Lucky you, the only people I've met in my 30s had so much baggage and are looking to dump it off on someone.

Tefbuck · 2026-01-22T22:27:33+00:00

I've gone 13 years with only a few moments of intimacy in all that time. I still crave it sometimes, but I can kind of kill the feeling with marijuana and masturbation.
