You can also stitch them with ffmpeg if a CLI is more your speed

I keep seeing people talking about it being too dark. I'm not sure what that could mean, why wouldn't you want darkness?

Not OP, but maybe it's better phrased as "white Americans have a limited shared cultural heritage."

Waves of immigration make it hard to tell what of that 5 centuries is actually shared. It's also viewed as tacky to try and lay claim to the bit before your ancestors arrived.

If your ancestors were Irish and Italian immigrants from around 1850, going off about the Mayflower can be viewed as similar putting on airs

You're asking more about what sort of things put this particular human in a good or bad mood. Not that those wouldn't be interesting to track, but they're kind of besides the point here.

This chart seems more about the overall sentiment about the day.

Consider a spring loaded drawer divider. Keeping everything from sloshing around can make a surprising amount of space.

Drawer with dividers

My drawer in the image used to be a nightmare. Everything used to move around and it would jam when opening sometimes. Adding dividers got it organized enough to leave a third of it free, which is now the rightmost section that's filled with tea.

It's been over a year and I still feel a small sense of joy when I open it sometimes. There's still messes of junk in the back left and right, but they stay put.

Vermont has (or had?) handwritten paper plates. Like if you imagine dealer plates, just messily written in sharpie and taped in the window.

As fake as they look to begin with, if you get close enough to read them, they're almost always expired.

On top of the definition provided by the other commenter, it's vaguely analogous to shopping for something, and opening a new tab for everything that looks vaguely good. Then doing a pass to winnow down and close items.

There's also structure for organizing things that are related. So if you weren't sure if you wanted a toaster or a toaster oven, you could spatially have two separate groups.

It only clicked for me once I saw someone else use it. I'm used to it just being hostile to search traffic.

When handwritten in English it's typically the curvier U shape.

I hope you don't mind, I creeped on your profile and found prior posts with your photos. You look like a perfectly reasonable woman. I interact with women far less attractive than you regularly and don't feel disgusted.

Do you have a therapist? A professional would be a great resource for digging into the reactions you're seeing.

If you bite the nub early it may mostly vanish into the kiwi. As long as I remember to do that I don't mind eating the nub.

Go to a local music shop and look for musician's earplugs with a rated dB reduction. At least -8dB, but a bigger reduction won't make your experience worse, it'll just make things even quieter.

I have some from a major guitar manufacturer that I've been using at the infrequent shows I go to for a decade. They were $10 then, and it looks like that's still true. I clean after using, but I wasn't really expecting to get this many shows out of them.

They don't muffle sounds, it just sounds quieter. Without earplugs I need to stand on the other side of the room/field to be comfortable. I'll still leave with ear pain and feeling exhausted. With earplugs I'm comfortable right in front of the speaker stack, and leave feeling exhilarated.

They've been a huge upgrade in my enjoyment of shows and I'm very grateful to my friend for dragging me to the shop and making me buy them.

There was also a fad to spam links to communities, some of them made up. Entire chains of comments would just be nonsense. A crackdown on that would make sense.

Here it's not really an issue. There I'd usually consider a link to a community without additional text to be spam.
