  • I have Spanish friends who eat 12 grapes, but I don't know if it's a Spanish thing or a regional thing

  • Holy shit! I thought you were joking so I just looked it up 🤣

  • Like Neo in The Matrix and "I know kung fu", what one ability would you choose to upload directly to your mind?

    Jump

  • If we're being pedantic, in The Matrix, Neo says 'I know kung fu' to explain that he both knows what all the moves are, and how to use them. As that was the topic of the post, I used the same sentence structure to mean the same thing about all languages, including programming 😉

  • If I could 'cheat' and say 'I know every language in the world', and that included programming languages and things like scientific notation as a language, I'd take that in a heartbeat. If not, I'd take programming, as at least then I can create things and make money.

    If speaking every language included dead and forgotten languages too though, then it would be a very tough choice.

  • That first pic could be my TV. I'm going to try this tonight, thanks 🙂

  • Which podcast player do you use for android?

  • Apologies for the double reply, but I found out something else about MediaMonkey last night. I thought my podcasts were badly organised because I'd made a mistake in the download options on MediaMonkey for Windows, and tried to fix it.

    It turns out that the Android app automatically sorts podcasts by the album artist rather than the podcast name, but a lot of podcasts have the episode presenters listed as the album artists. As a result, I've currently got 10 differents podcasts named Clockwise, and 9 named Brad and Will Make a Tech Pod on my phone. If I want to listen to multiple episodes in order, I've got to search for them between what MediaMonkey considers to be separate podcasts.

    There have been posts on the forum from 2019 and 2022 asking if there's a way to change this, but they've been ignored :(

  • Keep an eye on your media volume with Media Monkey. I've been using the Windows and Android versions for years, but I've noticed that a lot of my music is getting quieter.

    I haven't been able to narrow it down to Media Monkey or something else yet, but MM is the most likely culprit, as it's the only media player I use.

    I've ripped CDs with the same settings as other CDs, and the files play back much quieter than the other ripped CDs and the CD they were ripped from.

  • Terminator 2 was made and set in the early 90s from what I remember. There was no stored data for most things, and if there was, it probably wouldn't have survived the nuclear bombs that started the war with the machines

  • So, if I understand you correctly, what you're saying is - given the quite large body of water about half a mile away from me, all downhill, I should get a giant catapult and fling some piranha.

    I'll go down in history, either for the best April Fools joke ever, or if my aim is off, the best Halloween prank ever 🐟🐠🐟😁

    Immich on its own looks good, but if I set it up, I think I'll definitely install lightGallery to go with it 🙂

  • You can see a live demo here]https//immich-demo.note.sx/share/ffSw63qnIYMtpmg0RNvOui0Dpio7BbxsObjvH8YZaobIjIAzl5n7zTX5d6EDHdOYEvo), which is serving a gallery straight out of my own Immich instance.

    Sorry, off topic, but is this what Immich looks like out of the box, or have you used any other plugins?

    Immich Public Proxy looks like exactly what I want for my family photos, but I haven't looked into Immich yet. The demo looks beautiful, and is simple enough for the grandparents to use 🙂

  • What is your horrible Food Poisoning story?

    Jump

  • A few years ago, I went to a cafe for breakfast, quite regularly. One morning I decided to try their cooked breakfast, quite similar to a Full English. I'm not a fan of sausages, especially cheap ones, so I didn't think anything of it when I didn't like the taste.

    Over the rest of the day and the next morning, I ate a few different meals, but nothing unusual for me. By about lunch time I was feeling very rough. I was hot and sweaty, and needed the bathroom more often than usual. Now, I have a chronic illness, and between that and the meds, I get upset stomachs fairly often, to the point where I know if it's serious or not just from experience.

    I was starting to feel weak and dizzy, so I knew that it wasn't normal, and then liquid fire started coming out of both ends. Luckily, my wife was home, and realised that I wasn't joking about this time being worse, and called my doctor. I ended up in hospital for several days with severe food poisoning, and had to have IV fluids.

    Environmental Health were called and quizzed me about everything I'd eaten in the last week, and agreed that it was probably the sausage on my breakfast. They investigated the café, but found no serious problems. Luckily, it looked like whatever was wrong with the sausage only affected me because of my health issues, and didn't seriously affect anyone else.

    I haven't been back to that café though, just in case.

  • This is a thought experiment "Ball on a Table" for detecting whether someone has Aphantasia. What do you see when you perform this experiment?

    Jump

  • This sounds similar to how it works for me too. I closed my eyes to try this.

    I saw a very rough version of the table that's in the room with me. The table is a low rectangular coffee table with a coarsely threaded grey throw over it going lengthways, but I saw it as a rectangular shape with a vague grey top. The ball was featureless with no colour, and was about the size of my fist, so an adult man's fist.

    I saw a low quality arm push the ball, but I really struggled to picture it, and while I knew what would happen in real life, I couldn't picture it happening in my head.

    It's strange, as sometimes I can picture things fairly well, but other times I can't do it at all. I have very vivid dreams on the occasions that I remember dreaming, but I can't close my eyes and picture my family. I know what they should look like, in the same way that I know what a rotating cow should look like, but I very rarely get any sort of mental image of them.

    Ironically, I was in a coma a bit over a decade ago, and while I was in it, the dreams that I had were so realistic that it took me months to get things straight in my head.

  • What technology purchase felt like a major upgrade in your life?

  • It was an air fryer for me.

    I'm disabled, so I'm usually home alone, or cooking one meal for me and my kid. The oven takes about 10 minutes to preheat, and most things take 20 - 30 minutes to cook after that. The air fryer takes about half the time and doesn't need me to turn things.

    On top of that, I get memory issues, probably related to ADHD, and sometimes forget that I've got something cooking. The air fryer has a timer and switches itself off. I literally can't burn the food and risk a fire. At worst it goes cold again 🤷🏻‍♂️
