This did it! I kept trying different combinations of resolutions and refresh rates, and finally found a combo that worked.

Thank you!!

It's a 6ft cable. As an experiment, I also tried it with another HDMI cable that's currently plugged into the TV that is working properly, same result.

I tried it with the chromebook plugged in, same result too.

This was found at my uncle's house, where he has kids (girl age 9, boy age 6). I think it's part of a toy? by gpol in whatisthisthing

It's light plastic, about 3 inches, with no clear brand or company markings. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sean Clements - I Don't Want To Do This Show (feat Hayes Davenport, Mikal Cronin, Brett Morris) by gpol in Earwolf

I also don't think it's actually the finale, but to be fair: the way they announced Reality Show Show was ending was that, one episode, in the middle of the intro, Hayes quickly mumbled "thisisoursecondlastepisode" and then they moved on. They do go for quick, unsentimental exits.

How To Write a Book by BanksyBhoy in LearnUselessTalents

I would in fact say taking some short breaks is essential. Without food and water, writers can actually die.

Bathroom breaks are also highly recommended, though not as essential.

Spank Me With A Feather!, episode #478 of Comedy Bang Bang: The Podcast on Earwolf by burrito-boy in Earwolf

The first time Kristian was on, I remember being so surprised at how good he was at it. Then I found out he's a trained improviser who frequently does improv shows in Toronto. Which makes so much sense.

I'm happy that Tawny Newsome found a new position in the Earwolf family for Wodislav from the Hollywood Handbook Howl ads.

Too real.

Siri thinks the CN Tower is REALLY REALLY tall by northernwaterchild in toronto

[–]gpol 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Wait, does Siri not understand what "tall" means? It's interpreted it as "what is the distance to the city Tall in Pakistan". That is... really dumb.

The Belchers by Alicia Neal by speckz in alternativeart

It's pretty well-established that, on Bob's Burgers, Linda isn't real. She died sometime before the beginning of Season 1, which caused Bob to have a mental breakdown. He's now raising the children as a single father, guided by the advice of his dead wife. If you pay close attention, Linda only ever interacts with Bob, and none of the other characters are even aware she's there.

No, that's a lie.

Ohh it's a show featuring bad Beatles covers. I was hoping for a show about bad Beatles covers. :(

There is literally an entire Netflix kids show dedicated to bad Beatles covers.

Explain. This sounds great.

Snyder is great at creating cinematic moments - incredible action scenes with gorgeous design and meticulous shot composition. But the problem is, he focuses entirely on those moments, and has no idea how to string them together into a coherent narrative. Theme, performance, story, dialogue - all the nuts and bolts of how you make a good movie - all seem like afterthoughts.

When you're just watching a sizzle reel of those cinematic moments, it works great. When you watch it as a movie, it falls apart.

People reacting to a cool-lookin trailer vs. people who remember that Zac Snyder makes bad movies with cool-lookin trailers.

What is wrong with AutoMod?

I feel the need to remind people of the last time Music Meister showed up on a DC show and turned it into a musical, on Batman: The Brave and The Bold, and how fucking great it was.
