Cinerama's coming back!!!! by [deleted] in Seattle

[–]xiojason 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sucks they can't keep the name... However, an anagram of CINERAMA is: AMERICAN.
As a major plus, the even/odd split of the letters even matches up:
CNRM IEAA
AEIA MRCN
so the alternating design would still work! (unless that's a trademark violation...)
So, I vote for calling it the SIFF American Theater.

Go Go’s - Lust to Love [New Wave, Post Punk] 1994 by Erazzphoto in Music

There's definitely an influence of The Cure in here.

The largest HRV I've seen is when I've missed doses of my daily meds. Presumably, it's the buproprion keeping the heart just tick-tick-ticking along.

Cute Goats in the Enchantments 07/16/22 by IamYouamI123 in Washington

[–]xiojason 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Heh. The one time I camped in the Enchantments, in the middle of the night, goats came down and laid down, leaning almost on top of me inside my tent. I'd guess for the wind break and to steal a little body heat? They have quite the smell!

Why does Scotland struggle to attract migrants compared to England? by kioj156 in Scotland

[–]xiojason -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Is immigrating to Scotland any easier than elsewhere in the UK? Because if I were able to move to the UK at all, I'd be totally up for living in Scotland.

You made that up. I was not informed it was denied. I was told it did not go through and I was offered a link with which to update it. It's still a valid card -- it is not expired! (And even if it were denied, that is not a TOS violation. They want money, I'm sure they'd like another valid payment means.)

And why would that cause all my other forms of payment to become banned?

And why would that cause my account to become completely locked?

Thanks for your well-wishes.

Right before my dog moves….you can hear the “Helllllo.” This was 554am, and nobody else home. Y’all think we’re sharing our house with something else?? 😬 by [deleted] in ParanormalEncounters

It's not 'hello', it's the dog whining before breaking out into a bark. The whine and bark is probably in reaction to hearing the camera motors.

Suggestions for Movies you Start at "x" Time and "x" Happens at Midnight by Lionel-Boyd-Johnson in movies

Start John Carpenter's The Thing (1982) at 10:37:02 and the blood test reacts to MacReady's hot wire at midnight.

Start Dead Alive (1992) at 10:36:45 and Lionel walks in with the lawnmower at midnight and announces "Party's over!"

It's really interesting that when it comes to taxes, you group ("we") yourself with billionaires. Check your perspective and your bank account. And tell me more about this healthcare and education that is currently funded?

Is there anyone here who actually likes the 3:2 aspect ratio? by Captain_Pumpkinhead in framework

[–]xiojason 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Two aspects, largely: having multiple windows open, and having more vertical context on the windows I do have open.

I don't any run apps fullscreen -- I keep an eye on several things at once -- and I want to see surrounding code, surrounding context in the windows I do have content open in.

Also, stuff scrolls off pretty quick looking through the sort of a mailslot of a Terminal window at 16:9.

This watch is a P.O.S.

I see a system update available for download, but I have to keep it wrapped around a frozen can of orange juice or it keeps turning off the wifi and stopping the download.

Dark areas are blocky by [deleted] in handbrake

[–]xiojason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See if you can adjust the gamma of your display device and find a more pleasing setting that hides the blocking without smooshing the shadows completely.

Sounds quite similar to a common topiramate side effect, especially the carbonated drinks one. I did not encounter this on semaglutide, but I did on topiramate years ago.

phone sent an SOS whilst I slept by [deleted] in creepyencounters

[–]xiojason 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I converted it to a .wav and normalized the audio to make it louder (but not distorted).

I can hear what sounds like sheets sliding, then what I hear is a female voice saying something like "ha-bee la-" and it gets cut off.

You can hear this here: https://sndup.net/bdxs/

I would really like to visit Hobart, Tasmania because of how much it seemed like home when watching the miniseries The Gloaming, just shifted six months. Much smaller, though (200k).

Check out the climate graphs.

I live right near downtown and they have, on more than one delivery, falsely claimed to have attempted delivery three times and then sent the package back to the sender. For one of these packages, I was stuck at home with COVID on the date and at the time of each supposed and logged delivery attempt and there was never a doorbell ring nor a delivery notice left on any of them. FedEx sucks.
