Anon meets up with a girl
  • I had one geography and pre-algebra teacher in junior high that was like this. She practically refused to give out 100% on any assignment or test, and as far as I know no one ever could. She took the time to pick out any little flaw. Word misspelled? You lost points (granted, that's fair for place names in geography). Handwriting not typewriter-perfect? You lost points. Didn't quite erase something to her standards? You lost points. Didn't format a handwritten page precisely as she defined (and she was extremely precise)? If you're lucky you lost points, but she often threw those away with a zero. Used the wrong type of pencil? Allegedly she could tell if it wasn't written with a #2 pencil, and would throw the it away if it wasn't. The best grade I got in either of those classes was 99.5%. What did I miss? One of my 'i's had the dot slightly touching the rest of the letter. Real Umbridge character personality-wise too, more than anyone I ever met.

    All this allegedly to prepare for college. So it was a shocker when I got there find out that I could straight up get 2/10 correct on a calculus test but still be graded at 80% because (read this in a slavic accent) "you made mistakes in algebra, but you know your calculus". Go figure

  • Things I learned as a child that probably no one intended to teach me
  • I remember when I was really, really young I hadn't figured out all the nuanced definitions of the word "bad". At some point (I think it was in Sunday school) I told an adult that I put cereal in the fridge once. They said that was bad. So then I was all like "fuck, I guess I'm going to hell"

  • Anon takes the horsepill
  • Bikes are pretty simple machines. Even if it rides like shit you can keep it rolling with duct tape, a hammer, and spit. Horses are brittle. Injuries that other animals walk off are a death sentence to them, and even with lesser injuries, it takes time to heal

    That's not oxidized plastic...
  • Nah, that's definitely the blinker stalk. The end twists to turn the headlights on and off and the dial closer to the middle is for adjusting illumination brightness. Another comment said the button on the end is some propriety Honda thing. Plus it's clearly on the driver's side of the wheel (though tbf I'm assuming left-hand drive here)

  • l fixed my own meme
  • We barely have custom roms, and they're almost exclusively for pixel devices these days. Even new OnePlus phones have no custom rom support because OnePlus stopped releasing the MSM tool that's needed for any custom development. Til though that incidentally the OnePlus 11 does have some custom roms because the MSM tool for it was leaked, but nothing else released after the 9 has any custom rom development

  • if the Roku app is having playback issues, try turning on "Text Subtitles Only" in playback settings

    TL;DR if the Roku app is failing to play back some videos recently, try turning on "Text Subtitles Only" in playback settings

    So I'd been having this issue where certain videos would fail to playback in the Roku player (but only on Roku, playing from the Android app, the browser, or directly all worked). The video would get stuck buffering at 33%, but after a minute or so it'd finally stop with "There was an error retrieving the data for this item from the server". Transcoding issue? I'd been trying to figure this issue out for a few hours over the course of a few days. I don't recall having this issue before mid-December, and as I learned today apparently there was a big update to the Roku app.

    Anyway, my first real clue was using "ffmpeg -i video.mp4" to compare the codecs of a known working video and a not working video. The non-working video was showing an issues with subtitles. So after poking around in the Roku client's settings I saw the "Text Subtitles Only" option in playback settings, and enabling it worked!

    Hopefully someone sees this and it saves them a headache. I had to postpone my personal movie night like three times trying to figure this out

    Feature request: make "Scrolling past Post marks as read" toggle accessable from the main feed

    Pretty much title. Sometimes I want to see new content, sometimes I want to go back and look at old content. It's a little exhausting having to jump into settings to hit that toggle, and it would be really cool if we could switch it from the top bar or in the three-dot menu in the top bar

    Request: option to auto-hide nav and title bars

    Scrolling down hides them, scrolling up they come back. I like being able to see more content at a time, it'll make the app feel less claustrophobic.
