fun fact: the length to width ratio of ISO 216, √2:1, is the same ratio as the tritone in an equal tempered 12-tone musical scale. If you fold A4 paper in half, you get a piece of paper with the same length to width ratio as before; analogously, if you invert a tritone, you get another tritone.
My mom was permabanned from Facebook in 2020 for constantly posting anti-vax nonsense so she just went to places like Gab and Parlor. 😑
This has meme template potential.
I use the TouchID on my MacBook several times a day because it unlocks the password manager and wallet.
In Star Trek, one Voyager probe turned into a sentient super intelligence; the other was destroyed by a Klingon Bird of Prey.
I didn’t realize I could dry off with a towel while still standing in the bathtub/shower until I was 26. Now my bathroom floor doesn’t get wet on a daily basis.
Vader’s helmet looks so big in this shot.
Learn to code.
I wasn’t even aware a new Aquaman movie was being released.
On Mac and iPad it’s option-shift-hyphen.
Also there’s the en-dash (option-hypen on Mac/iPad), which is slightly shorter: –

What about three, four, or more independent clauses? Is that allowed?
Sometimes I’ve felt like an object I was imagining suddenly for a split second was somehow tangible inside my head. Like it has weight that I can feel, but it only lasts for a very short moment. It’s hard to put into words.

Apple Podcasts app on any platform. If you subscribe to like more than few dozen podcasts it runs at a snail’s pace even on the latest M1 and M2 devices from my experience. I turned off automatic downloads and it still ran slow. I don’t know why because a podcast app should be little different than an rss reader in theory, no?
Anyway I switched to Overcast last year and haven’t looked back.
Granted this is anecdotal but I was homeschooled k-12 and it messed me up in a lot of ways. I had to spend most of my twenties learning things that your average person would have learned in their teens if not earlier.
My mom was drinking diluted hydrogen peroxide daily for a while because some quack on YouTube claimed it prevents/cures cancer.
They’re going to feel real dumb when they see me pull out my periscope backstage.
How well do they work?

From my experience, touch typing and using all fingers (home row technique I think it’s called) is less common among boomers, especially men. Even in professional settings I’ve seen men peck at their keyboards with just their pointer fingers. The slowness of this technique might explain the use of abbreviations at the desktop?
