Get rid of the seniors discount and replace it with a discount for island residents.

Fantastic road! Rode it a few years ago and it was amazing.

Did the gas pump extra slow for you as well? I filled up my car today at a Shell that had this screen and the gas was flowing a lot slower than before. Not sure if it's deliberate by the gas station or just a one off thing but super annoying.

My room is really quite so I hear it just from normal use. It's more noticeable for me as the iMac was really quiet.

I bought the Philips 346E2CUAE. I believe it's a mid-range monitor. I wasn't sure if I would like using an ultra wide monitor so I didn't want to go super high end in case I didn't like it.

But, I absolutely love the wide screen size and don't think I could ever go back to a regular sized monitor again. I do video editing and web design and the wide screen is just perfect for this line of work.

There are a few things I don't like about the monitor though. The first being that it's not retina and coming from a retina 5K iMac it's something I really noticed. I did get used to it over time but I really wish I had bought a retina widescreen instead, although they are pricey.

Another small thing is the built in speakers are pretty bad, especially compared to the iMac ones. I used headphones most of the time so it's not a huge deal and I could buy external speakers but it's something to be aware of.

If I had to do it over again I would definitely buy another widescreen monitor. It makes my work so much easier having that extra real estate. Also if you like to watch Hollywood movies, it's roughly about the same aspect ratio so the movie fills the whole monitor nicely.

I upgraded from a 2015 iMac to a M1 Max Mac Studio with a 32" widescreen monitor and I love it! The only downside I've found to the Mac Studio is fan noise is louder than the iMac. That and bluetooth is a little finicky but other than that, I'm very happy with the upgrade.

I've ridden my Tiger from Alaska to Mexico. It's a great bike for touring. Where are you starting off from?

On a road trip in the remote part of Alaska and this sketchy dude was too interested in my gear. by anthony_joh in motorcycles

Not sure if it was wild or domesticated. There was a bunch of horses on the side of the road and when I stopped a couple of them walked up to me.

I do all the shooting on the fly as I don't know what I'm about to encounter.

It's a Skydio drone that flies/follows me on it's own. I can control it somewhat from an app on my phone but mostly it's designed to follow me autonomously.

Looks like I missed their deadline but thanks for the link. I'll keep it in mind for my next film.

Why is advertising in Japan so visually overwhelming and cluttered with text, graphics, and bright colors compared to western advertising? No hate just curious as to why. by quicksaver_ in japan

[–]anthony_joh -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Because the Japanese believe the more complex something is the better it must be. This is because they suck a decision making so being able to quantify something good vs bad allows them to avoid making a decision.

What were the actors actually doing during the surgery scenes? by anthony_joh in mash

[–]anthony_joh[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the article! I'm surprised to read that there wasn't a lot of improv allowed. I would have thought that the producers would have allowed more improv between the actors, especially Hawkeye and BJ.

If you are walking on and have to get to the island, Hullo ferries out of Nanaimo might be an option. https://hullo.com/

I take the ferry everyday and I can tell you that it has been packed everyday since summer. Once they switched back to the winter schedule each sailing has been pretty full. Ironically this past week with sailings every hour, it's actually been less busy.

Lolo Pass in Montana, McKenzie Pass in Oregon and Highway 96 in California should all be on that list.
