In the US, did Amazon kill the mall, is everyone too broke, or a combination of other factors?

    • What YouTubers did you used to watch back then but not anymore?

  • Pains me to say it, but Cody's Lab.

    I still catch an episode now and again. It just hasn't been the same since he moved to Nevada.

  • Especially this week.

    • Why do some Americans get angry at other people for not speaking English?

    Jump

  • Same.

    Of course, the first phrase I made absolutely certain I could rattle off was "excuse me I don't speak French well". Deliver that with a smile and they can be pretty damn forgiving.

    • What did you routinely fall asleep listening to as a kid and what does it for you now?

  • I slowed it down because it's more sedate sounding. Even though these videos have relatively even tonal qualities, they sometimes speak fairly quickly. I adjusted the pitch only enough to reduce the distortion from the speed shift I just checked and the numbers are actually 85/95, not 85/90. 90% pitch is too unnatural sounding.

  • Nothing as a kid. Now I listen to a detuned playlist of fascinating, but dry science/history/tech videos.

    My current rotation is Anton Petrov, Sean Wilsey, Red Wrench Films, and Curious Droid, all played at 85% speed, 95% pitch.

    Edit 95 pitch, not 90.

    • Why English language is sometimes "lazy", sometimes not

  • A lot of the law related words are from French derivations AFAIK?

    Yeah, those legal terms have been more-or-less common to any romance language I've used.

  • The only one I use is Safeway, to scan the in-store coupons. I'm not sure how much info they can get, because the app fails to load until I pause my VPN.

  • Oh right-fucking-on!

    Works perfectly.

    Thank you!!!

  • I'd like for it to be easier to open YouTube links in my browser.

    Every time I select something interesting, it opens my app. Maybe this is just a setting I'm missing. Not sure.

    Maybe just a "copy link" button?

  • They're talking about assisted living facilities, for anyone lost in the pond.

    • Found an old clock with overflown battery inside. How dangerous is this? Is the clock salvageable?

  • An alternative would be to replace the movement.

    Could be easier than fussing with the contacts.

    • Main road to Grindavík (Iceland) is covered under lava

    Jump

  • Not Icelandic, but I've been following the situation closely.

    This is an evolving issue. Grindavik, the town on the far side of this has been severely damaged by earthquakes and is currently surrounded by a berm that's (mostly) holding the lava flow back. The Svartsengi power plant is likewise protected by a berm and has had the pipes supplying hot water to Reikiavik damaged and repaired.

    Geologist Sean Willsey has been providing outstanding coverage on the subject.

  • It is an odd tone. So much "I learned" and "I found out." It comes off as a youthful essay.

    • If you don't work IT, retail, or food service what do you do for work?

    Jump

  • I work in electrical power delivery for municipal transportation, supervision-level. Before that, I was a shoreside engineer (basically a mechanic, not an engineering degree) in marine services. My work has always come very organically, often starting in floor-sweeping assistant positions.

    • And it just seemed like any other show.

  • In addition, those shorts are still called daisy dukes (at least by my generation) in honor of Daisy there, laying on the flag.

    • Am I old now?

  • Forget the cost. I don't want the inconvenience. I hate dealing with broken phones.

  • I know. The lack of redundancy gives me the shivers.
