Ahh, the merchant lady said you can't remove stuff from the new pillow I got, but she was wrong! I found a hidden zipper. Don't you love it when they don't know their own product.

Maybe my back and shoulders won't hurt anymore now that I almost reduced the volume of the pillow...

pretty cool, although apparently it doesn't help regular people: https://blog.readwise.io/bionic-reading-results/

no idea if it helps people with dyslexia or w/e

'Hyperion' is probably the best book I did not finish. I should try again some time

for kicks I put the old wheels back on the longboard and it's really ridiculous now with the dropped deck, it's so low!

you can't carve too hard or you might scratch the floor with the side, lol. but it isn't too bad actually, there was a lot of reserve

last time I talked about milk frothing in a french press, someone mentioned a "foam stick". is that just the stupid battery powered whisk with a spring wound along a circle on a long wire that rotates? Or are there better "frothing sticks" available now? I don't want any countertop appliance...

@kaia Alright, here

Handbreak hardsubs:
-Default fast 1080p30 is good enough as a setting
-Audio tab, click on "add all" and then remove the unwanted audios
-Subtitles, add all again, remove the unwanted subs
-Double click your wanted subs > check "burn into video"
-Start and that's it

Note:
-Annoyingly, there's fancy new "master" subs kinda things that has a sub subs included. I haven't seen this too much yet, but they exists. The master subs make use of these. They probably need to be both in the list, but by hard burning into the video the "master" sub, it will also take the "sub subs" into account too

Speaking of operating things in pairs when even one already feels excessive?

yeah i don't like america and americans and will make fun of them forever, but being able to shoot guns without a permit would be fun

how did people live with mechanical winding wristwatches before quartz movement was invented, what a chore.. also I think this watch is not very accurate. Maybe there's a reason it was in the junk box

sorting tools, I now have almost everything and some in excessive amount, like the stupid allen keys that keep multiplying

Opened this working computer (runs win10) and was quite puzzled to find out it has no RAM... There must be more modules on the other side of the main board? There also is a WWAN module but no SIM slot anywhere.
