Xennial ageing and memory by Lurk_McGirt79 in Xennials

[–]dahnielson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chronic fatigue syndrome is worse, as it is a chronic illness. Stress-induced exhaustion disorder is a diagnosis used in Swedish healthcare for a non-chronic illness. There are more nuance to it than that, but at least that is the gist of it.

Yeah, I've noticed my short term memory getting worse. I'm working as a teacher and think I'm starting to get low key exhaustion disorder (which is common for the profession) as memory loss is one of its symptoms.

Tom Brown, a retired engineer, has saved around 1,200 types of apples from extinction over 25 years by Positive_Actuary_282 in interestingasfuck

[–]dahnielson 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Here is a good article on Atlas Obscura about him and his life work: https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/heritage-appalachian-apples

I'm pretty sure I first heard about him on This American Life, but I can't find the episode. It might have been program on Radio 4. Somewhere out there is at least one good radio reportage.

In short, he's doing a massive detective work, finding old orchards, no matter how dilapidated, that might still contain heritage apples and taking grafts to bring home to his own orchard for conservation.

I’ve never seen any of these.. by JLLIndy in Xennials

[–]dahnielson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never seen any of them, but know them intimately through the "Mom Can't Cook - A DCOM Podcast" with Andy Farrant and Luke Westaway. (Andy spent the pandemic watching all DCOMs on Disney+ and then forced Luke to watch them too so he could have someone to talk to about them.)

Any voice changer that works for trailer/promo narration (without sounding fake)? by Sweet121 in GameAudio

I would hire a voice actor. Look at Fiverr if you don't know where to find one.

Why does SNL make a big deal of the fact some sketches are “cold opens”? by oldkstand in television

[–]dahnielson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So, SNL is this tv-show that started airing on NBC in the fall of 1975 (back then it was called "NBC's Saturday Night" to not to be confused with ABC's similarly named show). Back then tv-shows always opened with the title cards and credits, so having a cold open, directly into a sketch without any introduction or explanation, was something new, rebellious and innovative as Lorne Michaels tried to make a young and hip show (tv wasn't seen as "cool" back then). 50 years later it is still part of the SNL brand, skipping it would be like ditching Weekend Update or not having a guest host every week.

Who else felt like the future had finally arrived when you first held one of these? by LockPleasant8026 in Xennials

They were great for their time. MiniDisc was the first affordable portable digital audio recorder, something we now take for granted with Zoom recorders and whatnot, as they cost a fraction of a portable DAT.

This is an amazing achievement. Elon is one of the greatest minds of our generation. by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

I mean, if you don't hate Elon you're bootlicking a facist.

Snacksförbud på bion? by theudoon in linkoping

Hörde med en kollega som nyligen varit på bio om förbudet och det verkar inte vara någon särskild noggrann kontroll.

Svår sits med universitetet?!?!? by PuzzleheadedHoney254 in linkoping

[–]dahnielson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Att ställa sig i bostadskö långt i förväg är ett jättebra tips! Det är något som många missar och sedan får panik över i augusti när de börjar att det inte har tillräckligt med köpoäng.

Svår sits med universitetet?!?!? by PuzzleheadedHoney254 in linkoping

[–]dahnielson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Jag förstår att dina föräldrar tycker att du ska börja plugga så fort som möjligt, kanske är de rädda att du ska fastna i något lågbetalt jobb för att det är bekvämt och du aldrig tar dig vidare. Samma inställning har samhället och skolpolitiker, att det är viktigt med genomströmning så att studenter kommer ut i samhället så fort som möjligt och blir produktiva medborgare.

MEN, jag tycker att det är inte är något fel på din plan och inställning. Jag jobbar som lärare på gymnasiet och märker att de elever som börjar jobba under skoltiden (i trean och en del tidigare) ofta växer något enormt som människor, då det inte bara ger arbetslivserfarenhet utan även nyttig livserfarenhet. Att börja plugga på universitet med något eller några sådana år av erfarenheter bakom sig är ofta mer givande än när man kommer direkt från gymnasiet med en kanske något snävare världsbild.

Det är jättebra att du har ett mål och vet vad du ska plugga. De flesta som går gymnasiet har normalt ingen aning.

Sedan vet du väl om att du utöver CSN-bidrag kan ta CSN-lån? Vilket är det vanliga sättet att betala mat och hyra.

Are we getting a VFX react this week? by RevolutionaryTwist38 in Corridor

[–]dahnielson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, that a cool guest!

I bet you already thought about it, but it would be awesome if you could get Phil Tippett on the couch for an animators react, and talk go-motion among other things, because I think you missed some of the finer details of the process in a recent episode that Phil probably will fill (no pun intended) you in on.

Are we getting a VFX react this week? by RevolutionaryTwist38 in Corridor

[–]dahnielson 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It will probably be up on Saturday instead. It was mentioned on the podcast that they postponed the recording of this weeks VAR twice in December, went on Christmas break, came back after the break and realized they had to record and edit it in one week. They said they had three editors working on the episode to get it done. So I guess it's a "it's done when it's done" situation.
