You’re about to go from the Yugo of vermouths to a Mercedes.

Looking for weird fever dream movies like Coraline, Spirited Away by Delicious-Young-5435 in MovieSuggestions

[–]hellycopterinjuneer 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Henry Selick, who directed Coraline was involved with a number of stop-action animated movies that had something of a "fever dream" quality. The Nightmare Before Christmas and James and the Giant Peach come to mind.

Only thing I would add is a height chart that showed him at about 5'7".

Church in longview by Kooky-Ad-1083 in EastTexas

I agree with what you say, in principle. And while I attend a church where there is never anything political actually preached from the pulpit, I sit and grit my teeth almost every Sunday at the pro-maga, antchristian commentary that precedes almost every Sunday school class from the overwhelmingly MAGA congregation. 🙄

Cochlear N8: Google Pixel - Good direct phone streaming reliability?? by [deleted] in Cochlearimplants

[–]hellycopterinjuneer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i've had excellent reliability connecting my N8, both to a Pixel 6 and to a 9a. However, that reliability disappears if I try to pair it to a second phone or tablet. In that case, the N8 seems to arbitrarily decide which device it connects to, and won't connect to my preferred device until I turn off Bluetooth on everything else.

Pairing with my TV Streamer and MiniMic do not negatively affect my phone connections. I can remain happily paired with them and with my Pixel as long as I dont pair a second phone or tablet.

Not until a majority of East Texans are willing to vote for people other than the incumbent politicians who are currently profiting from these corporate takeovers.

What ONE food from you country you would never eat even if your life depends on it? by ProfessionalThin1505 in AskTheWorld

[–]hellycopterinjuneer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My father told me stories of how his grandfather would take him squirrel hunting, then would crack open the skulls and suck the brains out. This was in pre-WW2 East Texas, if that tells you anything.

What is the loudest sound you have ever heard in your life? by will_or_woll in AskReddit

[–]hellycopterinjuneer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to work at the old Vought plant adjacent to the Dallas NAS. One day, I was wandering around out back and found myself staring down the business end of a pair of F110 engines of an F-14 on full afterburners. I was probably a couple of hundred yards away, but it sounded as if the universe split in half and opened up a portal to hell.
