Hyacin (He/Him)

I’ve been in that same situation, except they refused to serve me at the drive through.

Same. But I was drunk enough and bothered enough by it to go flag down a cab for the sole purpose of going through said drive through.

Holy crap, I forgot this was even a thing … I was awash with memories and feelings as soon as I read the title.

It was M.A.S.H. for me … parents watching reruns, I think, as I’m not that old.

#1 - quitting drinking. I’d have been long dead by now the way I was going. #2 - starting meditation. I’m still not sure how I went 30-someodd years in this body prior with all that noise in my head.

A peanut with a top hat and a monocle selling you other peanuts, to eat.

Same! Wow, that is a bit much :-(

If you have Hue bulbs (and maybe some other now, haven’t looked in a while) Sleep as Android can do that too!

I came to say Sleep as Android as well. Been using it since we were submitting bug reports on Google+ (anyone old enough to remember Google+ ? lol) … absolutely love it.

Amateur stills.

In the middle of getting my wisdom teeth pulled. They had to like, take me off the laughing gas, but then feed me air or o2 or something for a bit to make sure it was cleared out of my system enough that I could EXIT the dentist’s office and proceed down the hall of the office tower to the shared washroom … while still doped up on the other pain stuff and whatever else was going on (I think they had to shove some gauze in there to keep me from bleeding all over myself or something) … fun times!

I’ve been very happy with my Monoprice “Blackbird 4K DisplayPort 1.4 USB 3.0 4x1 KVM Switch, 4K@60Hz, HDR, YCbCr 4:4:4, HDCP 2.2”. I run an ultrawide at 3840x1600 @ 144 Hz, or HDR at 120 Hz, G-Sync both, and it works wonderfully. It took some effort to get all the required devices using the same connections - went through quite a few “USB-C to DP” cables from Amazon that had to be returned because they couldn’t do the high refresh like they claimed … but once I got everything set up, it’s worked like a dream, 3+ years and counting now I think.

Digress/Digressed

Same. I was so sure actually I was wondering if it was edited after I clicked or something.

I disagree entirely - the first one I saw was comparing the base model iPhone 16 to a flagship Sony from some years back. This was spot on, and I loled hard. Kudos @Spezi@feddit.org

I believe it may have been E.T. on Atari. That or the Star Wars one we had, which I think may have been Empire

it just shuts up you internal monologue for long enough to get to sleep

Though it takes longer to achieve, it’s effects go beyond just helping you sleep - regular meditation, even purely secular “mindfulness meditation” can help achieve the same, with lasting effect, and much wider implications in day to day life.

There is sometimes still an internal monologue, but it’s not as powerful or overwhelming, and it’s much easier to ignore or shut off.

I was referring to Standard Def, but both are good and pretty light on space!

SD porn.

NZXT

It is!

Hhhrrrrmmmm, very good point I had not previously considered.

I just switched to MagicEarth since it works with Android Auto. Pretty happy with it so far.
