Whoops I thought that was Veronica. I guess it has been too long since I played

Right? Also, isn't she gay? I love Veronica too, but I don't think she'd want to have my babies

They did have Rush Limbaugh crowing about smoking bans, but the lung cancer that eventually killed him makes it harder to take his advice

For YouTube content I really like the Tubular app on Android. It has Sponsorblock built-in, which you mentioned, but it also has an option to skip silence.

I find it particularly nice for gaming content, or any point where the YouTuber is reading text aloud.

I must have skipped hundreds of hours of pointless silence by this point

I saw a comic about this once (xkcd, probably?) and going by the scene in the movie, where Legolas has human sized eyes, they deduced that Middle Earth must have an exotic atmosphere

Mainly because if your ears get hot any sweat can cause the earbuds to fall out. They at least don't fall on the floor (just into the headphone can) but it's not as nice as having regular wireless headphones.

Pro-tip: if you plan to use them for more that about 3 hours at a time, get a second pair of earbuds. That way when the first one's battery dies you can just swap them out while it recharges

If you don't want to spend a lot of money and are willing to put up with jank you can do what I do: get a pair of hearing protection headphones from the hardware store.

Just regular noise isolating cans for like mowing lawns or shooting guns. You can find a decent pair for less than $35. Look for a high NRR value (Noise Reduction Rating).

Then just wear earbuds underneath them. I use Samsung Galaxy Buds, but any wireless earbuds will do.

It's a bit janky but it didn't cost me $200

Lmao one of my friends had just gotten a DVD player in his room around when that movie came out. His mom walked in the room when he was watching it, right at that scene, late on a school night. He scrambled to turn off the TV, but that made her think it was porn... Barbie doll/action figure porn.

She just slowly backed out of the room and wouldn't let him explain

Does it not make tons of noise?

We have an ice machine in the freezer and often it is the loudest thing in the entire house. I also have a mini fridge in the office and the compressor on it runs every few minutes. It would be awful to try to sleep in there

The title for the sequel could be some kind of pun on how the film is faster and/or more furious than what would be reasonable under normal circumstances

When I got LASIK I wasn't allowed to wear contacts for a few weeks before the surgery. I bought the cheapest pair of glasses from Zenni. I had new glasses for $17 + $10 shipping.

If I had to do it again I would have my IPD measured by a proper optometrist first. I just guessed at it and got ones a little too small, so they had a kind of fisheye effect.

Still, for <$30 it was a great bargain

I did something like that once. I noticed my sister's wireless keyboard was still paired to her laptop, so every once in a while I'd hit the CAPS LOCK key.

I was suppressing laughter for about an hour until her temper boiled over and I had to come clean, as she was about to smash the laptop to bits!
