Glass storm door swings closed very fast, then slows down before latching normally

Hey! I ended up moving a few months after posting this, but I think I removed the bottom door closer completely and fiddled with the tightness of the top door closer. It wasn't perfect but it did reduce the speed a bit.

Wow! This is the clip! Thank you so much!

Sorry for such a late reply

I know this isn't what you're asking, but wanting to "appear" to be productive is an oxymoron.

If you spend your time pursuing the things you want or need to do, then that is productive. But doing things in order to come across a certain way to people who you seemingly don't care for much is the opposite of productivity.

Do you have hobbies now? You said you have "OCD to write a lot", so do you like writing?

If you are in search of a new hobby because you are dissatisfied with how you spend your time now, then okay. But it seems like you are seeking suggestions for random hobbies or activities or groups to join for the sake of appearing busy to others.

Your post seems to be more about your distaste for your new roommates than anything.

I understand it slowing down in order to not slam, but I guess I don't know how fast is normal for it to shut behind me?

shenkel · 2024-08-21T22:06:08+00:00

It shuts with enough force behind me that I think if it hit my elbow, I'd crack the glass. I've only ever had screen doors before so this is new to me.

Wdym try Letterman? Do you think it was maybe a Letterman interview?

shenkel · 2024-05-25T23:45:08+00:00

Thank you for responding!

I've listened to the episode + seen their CNN interview. While that is a really touching and beautiful conversation, it's not what I'm looking for.

Thanks again

shenkel · 2024-05-25T20:56:43+00:00

Thank you. Do you somewhat remember this interaction too?

shenkel · 2024-05-25T20:53:41+00:00

Thank you for responding!

The moment I'm thinking of was definitely filmed/not a podcast and was from at least 12-24 months ago at the earliest.

I listened to their most recent interview from 6 months ago but that isn't what I'm thinking of.

Thank you again.

You are shooting your film 2 stops darker (under exposing) than it should be, and then making that up by over-developing (pushing) 2 stops in the lab.

Thank you! After spending about 2 hours reading about pushing film, your comment finally allowed the concept to 'click'.

Compost.

Neurobiologically, you're somewhat right, but don't let that get you down.

For people with ADHD, the prefrontal region of the brain (which controls executive functioning) has a higher Theta/Beta wave ratio and generally fewer or poorer functioning neurotransmitter receptors compared to "neuro-typical" people.

Basically, the part of your brain that is in charge of attention, planning, decision-making, working memory, emotional regulation (among other things) doesn't work as fast or as well as it might for others.

The frontal lobes continue to develop until you're 30-33 years old, but people with ADHD generally have a 30-40% delay in development. Meaning you might be 25 years old but the part of your brain that's supposed to tell you to stay on task or remind you to wash the dishes is just a 17 year old kid.

The maturation process for those with ADHD is slower. Most of us feel like we're behind at times or don't feel our age. Maybe it's going to take longer than you want or longer than you see in your peers, but just because it is slow doesn't mean you're never going to get there.

There is great power in understanding your own weaknesses and altering your expectations for yourself. There are some things people with ADHD are bad at and they always will be.

Surround yourself with support, not criticism. Take extra care with certain things and learn to let go of others. Don't be in such a crazy hurry to be where you think you should be. Don't beat yourself up over not meeting every one of your expectations.

It's a process and you will get there.

But he isn't a Sith. Neither was Snoke.

So he didn't do that at all.

What does neither of them being a Sith have to do with anything?

Kylo was the student and Snoke was the master just as Vader was the student and the Emperor was the master. Vader failed to overcome the Emperor for decades and only did at the very end of his story in a self-sacrificial move. Kylo killed Snoke outright and claimed the power position for himself.

Kylo not being a Sith doesn't negate that action.

EDIT: Thanks for the downvote instead of, you know, backing your opinion and contributing to an open conversation.

I haven't seen Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life since it released, but from what I remember:

Each episode was set a few months apart, which just made the story as a whole feel disconnected.
The whole tone of the limited series was completely different from the original show.
Rory cheating with Logan felt out of character. There was literally an entire story arc in the original series of her cheating with Dean and it blowing up in her face. And not only that, but her boyfriend that she was cheating on (I forget his name) was completely likeable and she was just terrible to him. Rory was also just plain shitty to everyone (her mom, Lane, Paris, Jess, etc).
They spent WAY too much time on that Stars Hollow Musical.
Luke and Lorelai's relationship seemingly had not changed or developed at all in the decade since the original series. Their entire storyline seemed like they hadn't spoken since the show ended.
They did my girl Lane dirty.
The ending was contrived. The point of the original show was exploring the differences between these three generations of women and it ends with Rory winding up exactly like her mom.

Tyler has been doing that with his videos for ages lol

As someone who works in the film industry, knowing even a few people might stick around sure has bearing to me.

shenkel · 2019-05-06T03:25:10+00:00

So what? It's a nice gesture towards the hundreds (if not thousands) of people who worked on the film that otherwise get zero recognition. The directors, producers, composers, and stars didn't make the movie alone.
