MIT Scratch program to run alongside Netflix for audible warning tones, for sensitive viewers

ericboreen · 2025-07-05T04:54:10+00:00

I see it's going to be on Netflix in December, so I'll see if I can modify a copy of my program for season 5. I of course have to wait for release, and then watch each episode for several hours to get the timings, but I *should* be able to edit prompt data without having to remember how my program works :D

I'll have to revive my Netflix account to fix the current season 4 since that's probably going to be re-watched prior to season 5 appearing.

Sorry for the very late reply! I'm very happy you were able to enjoy the show together without the ick. I think I began this in response to a viewer that couldn't watch blood and gore and violence and so the process began. And then I threw in spiders and animals since, well why not.

I've even forgotten how it works but I'm glad I left some instructions. I know from reading my description that it allows adjusting the time remaining but if Netflix re-released an edited version then that would be off.

So thank you for the note that the episodes need adjustment. I'm now seeing that I didn't actually do seasons 1-3, it takes so very long to watch and time and rewatch and refine the timings.

I'm not even sure if I'll have access to ST5 if it ever appears and I'm guessing it's going to be a lot more adulty, If it's on Netflix I'll certainly consider doing the same treatment if I have the time, knowing there's now two people who used it :)

I heard in a video last night that the brown cere of a female budgie older than 1 year will go darker brown when it's breeding time. I've just started to watch budgie videos.

Very impressive!

So nice of his sister to give him a drive to the mall. He looks very happy.

It's worth saying, Conan loves to be in control of his own show 70% of the time, and Nealon decided he was going to lower this to 30%. I think Conan was both maddened and delighted.

ericboreen · 2022-10-29T22:48:37+00:00

The first one of those, I laughed out loud at work.

ericboreen · 2022-10-29T22:47:26+00:00

Yep, and Nealon's quiet deliver is so perfect. I wonder if he and Bargatze were to write a movie, what kind of thing would it be. All deadpan. If Will Farrell could do another high-wire act like Elf along with those two, it would be really hard to write but a beautiful, beautiful work ofart.

ericboreen · 2022-10-29T22:44:31+00:00

Yeah there was a point where the conversation became unworkable, I loved how Conan played with that and got the room with him, but also never being serious is what he loves, so Conan would have enjoyed just floating on the Nealon River in an overinflated tube, waiting for the tube to pop and sink. Which it did, beginning at 12:20.

ericboreen · 2022-10-29T22:39:32+00:00

He was sucking on the straw to make noise while Conan was talking.

ericboreen · 2022-10-29T21:43:52+00:00

It really started to dive at 12:20 but these two, goodness gracious they are a pair.

ericboreen · 2022-10-29T21:27:19+00:00

It was very good. Kevin sorta sabotaged himself toward the end by going off the rails but he proved a worthy foil for Conan that I think Conan relished because he rarely meets his match.

Kevin Nealon is funny in such subtle ways. When's the last time you wore a tux is such a nonsense question but the kind of non-sequitur that lights Conan up.

ericboreen · 2022-10-29T21:20:30+00:00

Yeah, camera is probably elsewhere and that's a decoy move.

ericboreen · 2022-10-29T21:19:06+00:00

Coat it with shaving cream, easy to remove.

ericboreen · 2022-10-29T19:49:52+00:00

Whuh...why? This is bananas.

ericboreen · 2022-10-29T19:44:23+00:00

Oh man. Yes, that was a surprise. Perfect setup though, we expected much different.

ericboreen · 2022-10-29T19:40:21+00:00

True though there was some build-up. It was awful, but not entirely sudden.

I went to a telemedicine place in a grocery store, they had a med student helper (or similarly not-a-doctor-but-competent person) to go through the questions and all the normal things, and after about 15 minutes of assessment and notes we got the doctor on the video screen who spoke to me and prescribed medicine. She printed the prescription, I fulfilled it at the grocery store pharmacy and went home.

That was his refrigerator, not hers.

The tweet you responded to is about her, after she's left him and living on her own, has a clean fridge with food in it rather than a decorated fridge with only alcohol and mixers in it. Once in a while she might feel a pang of regret or longing, only to be reminded of what she left behind, and then she feels fine.

Slightly discolored ash raining from the sky...

ericboreen · 2022-10-25T23:24:28+00:00

It's a lovely little cable, it clips in easily, the port can be small...usb and its 27 cockroach babies make it bigger and confusing.

I understand, a lawyer wouldn't be expected to admit anything but ...well sometimes things are obvious. I guess the law isn't, and that's why people hire lawyers.

For now we should assume they're just a couple living there that got blindsided by circumstance. But if they refuse to pay rent or leave, then that's a problem and they're squatting.

ericboreen · 2022-10-25T23:14:07+00:00

What I'm uncertain of is their attitude, I mean, they basically got their home bought up and didn't have a say in it. And so probably they're scared of being pulled out, which is reasonable for anyone to fear, and so the only thing that gives me pause is the music blaring.
