I mean, I've gone up in a pallet-box thing. Not too bright, but nothing like this. This is completely insane.

Same.

Of course, the first phrase I made absolutely certain I could rattle off was "excuse me I don't speak French well". Deliver that with a smile and they can be pretty damn forgiving.

I slowed it down because it's more sedate sounding. Even though these videos have relatively even tonal qualities, they sometimes speak fairly quickly. I adjusted the pitch only enough to reduce the distortion from the speed shift I just checked and the numbers are actually 85/95, not 85/90. 90% pitch is too unnatural sounding.

Nothing as a kid. Now I listen to a detuned playlist of fascinating, but dry science/history/tech videos.

My current rotation is Anton Petrov, Sean Wilsey, Red Wrench Films, and Curious Droid, all played at 85% speed, 95% pitch.

Edit 95 pitch, not 90.

I love Timeline when I'm traveling. It's great to be able to remember all of the random wandering in foreign cities. I've seriously considered printing and framing the timelines, but it's difficult to crop them so they all match.

At home, I'm far less comfortable with it.

One is creepy as hell. 500, evenly spaced? That would be absolutely terrifying.

A lot of the law related words are from French derivations AFAIK?

Yeah, those legal terms have been more-or-less common to any romance language I've used.

The only one I use is Safeway, to scan the in-store coupons. I'm not sure how much info they can get, because the app fails to load until I pause my VPN.

Too crisp. Should be a blurry dot.

Kentucky Ballistics did a whole video on this gun.

Oh right-fucking-on!

Works perfectly.

Thank you!!!

 

Chronova Engineering produces exquisite mechanical marvels. Their production values are astonishing, with incredible macro work and a very soothing narration.

 

The seats are assigned. People have been standing in line for 15 minutes now. Why on earth would anyone want to stand there, when they could just sit and wait until the line clears?

I understand wanting to get off a plane ASAP, but boarding? You just end up sitting on the plane, waiting for everyone else to get on.

Who's Up? (self.casualconversation)
 

I just got to work at 02:30, covering the second half of the graveyard shift. Pretty quiet night.

 

This album has phenomenal songwriting. It's got a kind of laid-back LA-surf-rock sound with elements of punk and maybe a hint of wistful country in the lyrics.

The album and band appear endangered, unavailable on any music streaming service.

The only online version I could find is this a random YouTube upload with almost no views.

They were introduced to me by a friend's sister in, like 1999. Their band ended quickly after the death of one of the members.

The only other digital presence related to them now appears to be a remaining band member's channel, which hasn't been updated in 11 years.

This showed up for me last week in a related tracks playlist. Outstanding set. The last 20 minutes are particularly face-melting.
