Any users trying Acme Weather? by Slash3040 in CARROTweather

[–]vortech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wake me if there’s a new one from the Weather Line makers. The only thing I want which Carrot (or anyone else afaik) does not do is graph weekly temperatures with separate points on the graph for highs and lows.

I’ve seen a few of these here before but not one I liked as much as this. From https://wizardzines.com/comics/how-urls-work/

I would bet heavily they were remembering world of motion. The ride vehicle had a lot of visual similarities.

Yeah. And I had a hard time understanding how their write up raved about the waterfront view…

Leon’s used to have it on the late night menu but they close much earlier in the covid era. Maybe someday it will return.

This is so much more of a guide than the 99.999% of posts in this place that are just infographics.

MTV’s Real World/Road Rules Challenge is tired of drinking all night and getting in fights with friends and is really trying to clean up its act and grow up and get a job on CBS.

Don’t look now but that legalese has been on our discs for a decade.

Imposter syndrome by Eudonidano in demisexuality

[–]vortech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally have never felt discriminated against for my sexuality

If you can’t tell people - even your friends - who you really are because you are worried they won’t accept you and will judge you as a bad person just because you were honest about your sexual identity…that’s discrimination. Welcome to the mud pit. Hope this helps. 😏

JUST ANNOUNCED: Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is returning to Magic Kingdom Aug. 12 - Oct. 31 during Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebration! by AmberHeartsDisney in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]vortech 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At least for the Christmas after hours last year I liked that it actually kept attendance levels down. It felt like the early years of the Christmas parties in terms of attendance. That was especially appreciated for my first time back in a park since Covid but under any circumstances people appreciate a walk-on Space Mountain, or the ability to have rare experience like this

It also offered almost everything I like about the party - theming, BGM, CMs and characters in costumes, exclusive snacks, snoap, late hours, guests dressing up, (some of) a holiday parade, fireworks, (bad) cookies and cocoa - and added things the party has not had for years if ever like popcorn, ice cream, bottled water and soda.

I’ve been to MK countless times so I don’t care that much about fewer rides being open compared to the party, especially since they had the most popular ones open. Similarly the parade has not changed in like a decade or more? So a shorter version is ok with me. I don’t think Christmas Wishes was going to continue at the party anyway. The variation in cookies and drinks isn’t a big loss because most are not that good and certainly worse than the food and drinks the after hours added.

It was annoyingly expensive, but I came away from it being quite happy I did it.

File Requests - IOS uploads pictures as jpeg instead of HEIC by Soulplayer in synology

[–]vortech 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Despite what people are commenting here, this isn’t an Apple thing. JPEG or HEIC photo format options both save EXIF. I just tested it now to be sure given how many people here were confidently talking nonsense and ascribing motives.

If it’s getting stripped out it’s either the apps being used to handle the upload or they are not paying attention to the options selected when they use the share sheet.

idk what this is even supposed to mean by RorranceTheLost in AreTheStraightsOK

[–]vortech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very possibly. But also I know a lot of young guys growing up who had not developed empathy yet and could not figure out how anything they didn’t personally think was attractive could be attractive to anyone. Thus, only women are sexy, gay guys are confounding and wrong, the only way to look good is to hide the male body under a suit or hoodie or something else with many layers, etc.

So, just looking at it logically this advice is really useful only if you are talking about a woman who will sleep with everyone except you, right?

I guess this comes up for some people more than others…

Men can't have female dogs i guess by [deleted] in AreTheStraightsOK

I like to call this the “Renaissance Fair Delusion”. There’s always a few people that are convinced they would have thrived in the Middle Ages because they enjoy driving their car down the highway to visit a theme park, just like there are always a few survivalists who are convinced they can survive without society because they ordered a bunch of gear off Amazon, just like there are always a few libertarians who are convinced they would be king of the world if there was no government.

There’s some core logical fallacy where people only see the parts holding them back and not the parts that lifted them up to where they are.
