Juno for YouTube has been removed from the App Store
  • Now that there's a Microsoft/Windows app store, any app not sourced there is sideloaded.

  • HBO should use a different bumper for streaming.
  • Love that stuff, it's so cool.

  • Do you have friends from different socioeconomic backgrounds? If not, do you wish you did, and how do you think it would influence your perspective?
  • I've lived in trailer parks and worked for multi-millionaires/firms worth billions, so yes. With some exceptions, rich people are insanely insecure and often just fucking boring.

  • Sorry Dude
  • My back suuuucks. Losing weight + stretching + foam roller + working out more led to the most-satisfying, deepest back/neck/body cracks imaginable. It still sucks, but the overall pain decreases once you get through the early workout pains.

  • These are both really cool ideas and seem like a fun project.

  • Maybe we've gotten used to that very particular white noise pattern and anything else would feel wrong?

    Completely pulled that out of my ass, for the record.

  • Depends on what's on the vinyl.

  • What are some humorous items I could sneak onto my partner's running shopping list?
  • Deez nuts

    Edit: Which I recently found is a real brand of nuts. Dee's Nutz, I believe. So be careful or you may just end up with some unexpected, delicious peanuts to snack on.

  • This is so stupid and completely genius at the same time. It would absolutely work for me.

  • Does money corrupt, or is money attractive to questionable people?

  • What a musical genius
  • Pretty sure Mmm Bop is credited with inventing scat music, which eventually caught on in jazz a bit.

  • Could I at least get a barrel of oil? No need to beat around the bush (heh), I'll take what I can get.

  • Four Pests campaign
  • That doesn't sound like much of a leap forward, at all.

  • Ah, a fellow le gentlesir in the wild!

    Lol, if you don't get it, you're not a Redditor. ;)

  • Hard Ticket to Hawaii (1987) - Undercover Frisbee Assassination Scene

    There's a lot of gold for a 2:00 clip, but my favorite subtle part is that he appears to throw a frisbee for her to fetch at 0:55, after telling her to scram and just before telling her she has a great ass.

    A ~1907 Player Piano with Three Automated Violins Inside - The Hupfeld Phonoliszt-Violina 2

    It's just so cool. I would love to compose a piece of music on a punch sheet for one of these--like a precursor to MIDI that's arguably superior (in that it features real, physical instruments).

    Also sort of the "AI will destroy music" of the early 1900s.

    The actual (singing) voice of Aladdin's Princess Jasmine casually joining in "A Whole New World" at a NY piano bar

    Kind of random, but I've always enjoyed this. She's absolutely pitch-perfect and her voice pierces the room despite no microphone and being recorded on a crappy cell phone.

    I love the hushed awe and participation of everyone in the bar. Would have been a magical moment.

    Does the Barnsley Fern have anything to do with actual ferns or is it just a fun coincidence?

    I find fractals extremely fascinating and way, way, way out of my depth. One example being the Barnsley Fern, which I find so cool. It feels a bit like someone cracked a little piece of the Matrix code.

    But is there anything really significant about the fact that it looks like a fern from a botanical/mathematical perspective? Do the two connect in any real way? Can we somehow find the math genetically or learn something about the mathematical properties of other leaves, for example? How "real" is it?

    If I could make an oak leaf from fractals, would it advance mathematics and/or botany or would it be equivalent to creating a cartoon using Geogebra (nice to look at, but basically meaningless)?

    Any good sources/tips for streaming NFL games starting tomorrow?

    In the past, I've relied on whatever stream I happen to be able to find through whatever sketchy site and it's really frustrating.

    Are there any legit, reliable ways to catch NFL games as they're happening (ideally that don't require a cable subscription/tuner card)?

    The Cosby Show S07E03 - Cliff's Special BBQ Sauce

    The way he keeps raising his voice somehow makes it so much worse.

    Joe Pera Talks With You was an underappreciated treasure that I think deserves way more viewers. Here's one of my favorite scenes.

    I would describe it as Napoleon Dynamite meets Mister Rogers directed by Wes Anderson.

    It's a lovely show that got cancelled after 3 seasons, but the seasons they got were really special and worth watching. There's a very subtle, sweet storyline throughout the story that isn't immediately obvious if you just jump around via clips.

    In ancient Rome, a "Fresh Laundry"-scented candle/deodorant would have smelled like pee.

    Inspired by this video, which someone posted recently.

    And, yes, this is a legit showerthought!

    Masterful mixing, too.
