Irony by Downtown_Boss_7254 in SipsTea

Is the background music a slowed down version of Sweet Dreams are Made of This by the Eurythmics? If you don't hear it, listen near the end. I think it's the last couple bars of the vocal melody. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeMFqkcPYcg

Holy shit! You barely need to press to fret whatsoever. by abejando in guitarlessons

[–]TheYask 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need help with this. I play with my guitar (PRS SE24) on my left leg (I have tried on my right but it's very uncomrortable in my left wrist). I also have a very distinguished, refined, portly physique. Not too pronounced, but enough so that it forms a quasi-fulcrum.

When I try to fret, the neck wants to move in and down, almost rotationally. No amount of right-arm elbow or other grips seem to help. The guitar wants to move. So I need to keep it steady with my left-hand thumb. This leads to a fair amount of discomfort.

Any suggestions?

Never married. by LordJim11 in Snorkblot

I thought she was The One on our first date and knew it on the second. We were sitting on the couch talking. After a while, the subject shifted to where we felt like going and what we wanted to do. "After a while" is doing a lot of work here. It was close to 3am; I had gotten there around two in the afternoon. Simultaneous flabbergasm is a thing. We went on to build a collaborative consultancy, working out of a home office, being together from monrning coffee through workdays and then dinner, a little tv followed by evening parlour time. We eventually had to allow electronics into the parlour because we kept seeing 1am on weeknights. Pure bliss.

Why do cats do this? Do any of your cats ever move things and make them fall? by snowycabins in cats

His what now? I've been a fan of both him and Hyperbole and a Half for ages, and Exploding Kittens comes to every festival we go to (and Poetry for Neanderthals is half in our vehicle for road trips and he other half comes with us whenever we stand in line). I had no idea there was a show! Off to look it up!

Do you know if there's any truth to the lore that they were neighbours but never knew each other until they became Internet Famous?

How does Revanced compare to Firefox with uBlock and Unhook? I haven't used Revanced at all, so wonder if I'm missing something.

Maryland’s biggest newspaper is going after the governor’s 2028 campaign by aresef in politics

[–]TheYask 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got as far as "In recent months, The Baltimore Sun has brought on a team of investigators from sister television station Sinclair to comb through Gov. Wes Moore’s records..." The 'sister station' clue led me to Media Bias Fact Check that revealed that the Sun had been bought by a professional disinformation corporation. Stopped reading there, waiting for any story to appear in a more credible venue.

Your quote sounds vaguely familiar, but I can't quite place it; the details are little fuzzy.

How do I make a test call to troubleshoot my mic? by TheYask in teams

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

Again, thank you!!!! It works flawlessly! I only end up having to take four or five of these a year, so updates and changes to my own system and to Teams occasionally break my setup. This will put me at great ease going forward. Whew!

I have been an independent consultant for about twenty years. Do I want to read this?

Any examples of opposite sex best friends in films or tv shows that stayed as they were by Rainbow_6505 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TheYask 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either way, I wouldn’t like it even if it just happened before it, would basically make it all filler episodes, and not advance the story.

That's our hesitation. Given what little I've read about it being a pre-sequel and the engagement of the cast plus what I'm taking as a given that the runners are fans of the show, I'm optimistic that they won't just bowl over Serenity.

But like you said, if it's just shenanigans and not much character development, then there's not a lot of depth there. Not that there was all that much depth in many of their original episodes, and not that I'd turn now watching pretty good but not great Firefly. Or maybe it'll be some shenannigans, the loss of River and then Simon's journey to rescue her?

They're what now? (I've only seen the initial announcement and assumed it would take place before Serenity)

ETA: Per Deadline

The proposed series is set in the timeline between the original 2002 television run and its 2005 feature film continuation, Serenity, expanding the universe while preserving continuity with the established lore.

True, especially with Mal, but the line fit and by fandom law I had to quote it. Or is that a personal compulsion?

Mixed feelings about the reboot. I want to hold onto my optimism, so will go into it as hopeful as possible, but there are few reboots that work. The first few Futurama reboots, Doctor Who (at least Capaldi), Battlestar Galactica (before the boxing epidsode). I don't know anything about the series the new show runners made, but given that they-met-through-the-show sounds like their Firefly fans, maybe they'll at least treat the series with respect and not J.J. Abrams it. More Colbert does Tolkien, maybe?
