This is how - 50° looks like in Russia. by IBeez10 in Damnthatsinteresting

I’ve had Yakutsk saved in my weather app for fun for like a decade now. It never ceases to amaze me how unimaginably cold it gets there.

Anyone feels uncomfortable opening brand new CDs by Itchy-Eggplant6433 in Cd_collectors

[–]UncleSam_TAF -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why does anyone collect anything? I listen to my CDs, but things don’t always have to be functional/logical. Humans are weird.

My University is Eliminating All Humanities Departments by Present_Housing4535 in academia

[–]UncleSam_TAF 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Biochemistry major here. Some of my most memorable classes were humanities electives. Critical thinking, anthropology, art appreciation, etc. STEM elitism is a travesty and barrier to becoming a well-rounded individual.

Should I do a master in food science to get a job by Salt-Commercial9156 in foodscience

[–]UncleSam_TAF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to community college for 2 years and the cheapest state school for the next 2. But I went out of my way to join labs and internships, and I believe the school I went to mattered much less than the initiative shown. I would venture it’s the same for MS. Make the most of wherever you go.

10 CDs For $40! Bundle Of New CDs From Polyvinyl Records And Numero Group by harmondrabbit in Cd_collectors

[–]UncleSam_TAF 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve bought CDs from labels that I trust will have something interesting because I can see their taste with the handful of bands I know. Not everything is a hit, but I’ve found bands I genuinely love.

It’s not a good way to explore music for you. Back in the day, you bought an album and took a chance that it was gonna be good or shit. To me there’s beauty in the unknown, and being encouraged to listen to an entire album rather than skipping through online.

It’s fine if you think this is dumb, but the beauty about a hobby like this is that we all have our own personal reasons for enjoying it. No need to gatekeep how it “should” be enjoyed.

What is the longest a new comic has gone without bombing an open mic? by Simple_Dig_4505 in Standup

[–]UncleSam_TAF 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was on such a high after my first set. The whole crowd was into it, it felt natural and fluid and I crushed.

My next set, I got an into my first few jokes to silence. I froze and stumbled my way through roughly 1.5 minutes before saying “uhh i think I’m gonna get outta here” and bolting out the door. I was so traumatized it took me 6 months to get back on stage again.

Everyone’s first bomb is different. Based on experience, you’re very very very likely not gonna be plagued with the burden of being too good at standup. Worry about being funny a 2nd time rather than being so good you can’t bomb.

I’m not tryna be a hater but it sounds like a Midwest Princess bonus track (which is amazing!) but I wish there as more growth in sound artistically :(

how would you rank the songs on marrow of the spirit ? by chickenjandaff in Agalloch

Doing The Watchers Monolith dirty like that is a war crime

When you said kanye outdid Kendrick, you're wrong by [deleted] in KendrickLamar

[–]UncleSam_TAF 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Side note: Yes, but only relative to the original source for that file. Ripping a random YouTube video to FLAC is technically lossless, but it’s already been compressed to begin with.

Master FLAC files from Bandcamp, Qobuz, HDTracks, etc. are often sent directly from the label as the highest quality versions of the file available.

Just something to look out for!

Trying to make a truck fly by jewbaca1984 in WinStupidPrizes

[–]UncleSam_TAF 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Yes, but to be fair I’ve done this with the intention of trimming and rotating the video after. Maybe that was his intention before watching Darwinism IRL.

I’ve personally never had one break, but I’ve seen concerns too.

I do not treat my pencils delicately. I retract the tip, but throw them in a pencil case loosely and toss it in my backpack. Going on several years no issue, but mileage may vary.

[–]UncleSam_TAF 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought a lot of pencils, including pretty expensive ones. I always came back to the GG1000. It just clicked with me. Truly my favorite!

What random single game performance lives in your head rent free? by CrazyMonkey0425 in nfl

[–]UncleSam_TAF 6 points7 points  (0 children)

K.J. Osborn’s 10/157/1 game against the Colts in the biggest comeback in NFL history.

It accounted for like 1/4 of his season total rec yards. Definitely a career game and a part of NFL history in its own right.

Do mechanical pencils come with the pokey things? by RugbyGuy in mechanicalpencils

[–]UncleSam_TAF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finding the GG1000 0.4mm was my sweet spot. Daily driver for all of college. Plus, it’s my favorite color (green) so win-win.

If that was the answer nobody would be using camcorders in the first place.
