• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BRB, need more cheese⁩ ⁨⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I was like “époisses isn’t obscure” but then I remembered my family is from a few km from there so I guess I’m a biased sample haha. Still though I’d say that’s one of the more well known French cheese that you can find in any french region not just where it’s from. Outside of France is another story for sure.

  Not sure about reptiles but mammals for sure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I strapped a weight to a tortoise, could I train it go relatively fast?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly, instead of making it pull weights, make it run after a salad or something and gradually increase speed/distance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Threats⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s definitely a few still alive in France. Not that many years ago I was dealing with a major retailer there that still wanted orders faxed in, they’ve moved on but I’m sure a lot smaller places still have them.

  Worst feeling.

  Also smashing the keyboard is very poor randomisation, you naturally place your hands the same and probably even start hitting the keys the same way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I need a flicker free LED lightbulb running in the 3000 K range.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure they could, obviously the higher in price the more tanky they get so I’d trust brands in order of pro -> prosumer -> knockoffs like anything else but yeah film sets can stay on for hours on end, sometimes in conditions much less cozy than your kitchen. They’ll typically come with some form of passive or active cooling (fans or mechanical dissipation with radiators).

  I’d steer clear of battery powered models even if most of these can be run with a plug as well just because you’ll pay extra but if you go for tubes or the small panels.

  I’m just now realising your question is whether you could use them in regular fixtures as in screw them in and yes there’s also options for that from a few brands, they can even charge from the power of the light fixture itself, they’re not cheap the ones on my “might buy” list are the godox C7R but you could go for the C10Rs. I don’t see why they’d last any less long than standard LEDs but I might not be aware of it. At that point you’re paying Hue prices though so not sure if they’re the best tools for the job since the daily use aspect of a system like hue is way more adapted for home use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I need a flicker free LED lightbulb running in the 3000 K range.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Came here to recommend video lights. There’s some cheap options available these days which will offer you full RGB or Kelvin scale control, flicker free, etc. Check Godox Neewer, Sirui, Smallrig, Amaran for “budget” but still reliable brands, or try your luck on Amazon/AliExpress with no name brands which would probably still do the trick depending what your usage is. You could go for a small tube or panel for example (options are endless).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's exactly what you'd expect.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Dunno about the US but these pants are all alive and well in Europe, it’s just that the experiences they provide tend to be petty extreme (in the case of datura/belladone for example), and/or too weak or impractical compared to the modern offerings. But yeah any psychonaut worth their salt would at least know about them if not tried some of them.

  To be fair when it’s 40 you’ll find me in the shade ideally with a nice breeze or otherwise a fan, but still right now that sounds amazing… Pulls up blanket

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Daily Discussion Thread: 🐣☕🫗 Friday, 3 January, 2025⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Screw you and the popularity of your local community, I don’t need reminders that you’re in summer while we haven’t seen the sun in over a month 🥶🌧️☁️

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should I get a drum kit, or a pressure washer?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just keep in mind the electronic drums still make noise, just not as much as the real thing. If it’s in a separate room a bit far away from the other people it’s fine but don’t expect to play it next to your sleeping partner in the same room.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No one: Laptop. Could this be hardware or software related?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah that gpu is deep fried.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Graphic Design Is My Passion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yesss Kodak is a better comparison, or maybe some of these VHS blank tapes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Graphic Design Is My Passion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I get that but I still don’t like it haha.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Graphic Design Is My Passion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah the text is placed in an annoying order but the design itself is kind of nice, I like the colours they’re a bit Mondrian-like.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SAD⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I hear retirement homes get freaky as hell so I’m not so sure about that, also while I enjoy it it’s really not that big a deal. As a dad the original one kills me though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you are a young person you have no idea how bad everyone and everything smelled until at least the 1990s.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah if you reek of smoke that bad you’re probably smoking in confined spaces e.g. inside your house, car, etc. Clothes start being impregnated again as soon as they’re out of the wash coz the whole house is continually full of smoke. Folks that smoke “the modern way” (only outside, etc) will probably only smell when coming back from a smoke for a bit, or maybe the breath/fingertips up close.

  I think you’re right, there’s an O in the sentence before it and it’s rounder.

  62% 4h later, guess they’re keeping hydrated up there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A ton of bollocks, more like⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn’t it also because they would use the same units but undercut the American buyers or something? Same why a pint isn’t a pint?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon buys laxatives⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sure there are, where you can buy them OTC is another story.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨master manipulators⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Once they figure out email and posting on social media we’re really screwed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Subway lovers posted⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally I’m the kind of guy that would probably just remove it and keep eating, however it should be noted that piece of plastic was likely wrapping one of the ingredients, that means one side would be clean and food safe but the other would be the side that laid on random stuff/surfaces, got pissed on by rats in the warehouse, etc etc. Again I wouldn’t be too fussed myself because I think a bit of exposure to nasty stuff is part of life but I can definitely see how it could be a problem.

  Bright colours = deadly. Potentially gets you high with just the right amount.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good ear protection for concerts.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah if you’re not a regular then I’d just get some silicone ones with the little flappies (not sure how to explain it, they’re like “layered”). Nowhere as good as moulded ones but still do the job and let you hear the music while keeping the ears safe. I keep mines in the little box they came in hanging on my keychain.

  Jason Bourne?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Todd Haynes finally comments on his scrapped film with Joaquin Phoenix⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sometimes they’re even famous because they’re good at acting and will bring the quality of the movie way up as well (emphasis sometimes).
