I used to always find it _easier_ to drive at night because cars would be like little Christmas lights, and the contrast between headlights & the darkness of night made them very easy to spot; now I'm blinded everywhere I go. Haven't ever contemplated window tints but at this point it feels like I either need to do that, or get a higher vehicle. Or just not drive at night :')

I live in Michigan and my time is spent between two vastly different affluence levels; the richer sides have excruciatingly bright headlights that blind me in my non-tinted Sonata, and the poorer sides are riddled with the droning of modified and/or broken exhausts.

Used to like cars at one point but nowadays I find that my only (okay, only _daily_) grievances in life are noise from cars & driving at night in rich areas, both of which have soured my views on cars.

I searched for 1337, and then 13371337, and then 133713371337, and I was flabbergasted they've got a search setup for this (which ctrl-f opens up). Thanks for posting the blog post!

I also have a poor experience with a Nuphy wireless keyboard - it suffers terribly from interference. If the dongle is further than a ft away, especially if there's no line of sight, then it has terrible latency + will miss keypresses + double keypress.

I still use it every day and have for a couple years now, but it's annoying to have to have the keyboard so close to my dock.

Makes me wonder what Logitech is doing differently with their 2.4ghz dongles that makes them work so well.

Their "LOL" was in reference to the author's statement of "...personal experience led me to think about this, repeatedly" (which is the author presumably making a joke)

A book I read recently called "Why Stomach Acid Is Good for You" has a section on bitters (which I believe would include mint) are good for reflux - their prescription is chew/eat bitters ~5 minutes before a meal.

In-ear monitors - or - earbuds, which are generally going to be wired if using 'IEM' over 'earbuds'.

Yeah, it's the hexagonal shape. The objects with the 6 diffraction spikes are overexposed compared to the rest of the objects in the picture, so they're generally brighter and/or closer objects.

I haven't stopped thinking about this movie since I saw it 2 days ago and I'm seeing it again this week/weekend.

I don't think I've ever seen a movie more than once in theaters. It's good - really good.

The last movie that was comparable was Interstellar, imo.

If your theater is anything like mine, this is exactly what's happening - I bet if you check tomorrow, you will see showtimes on Thursday. I did the _same exact thing_ with this movie last week, and it was never showing any of the days - once Wednesday rolled around though, there was finally showings on Friday.

If that ends up not being the case, you'll still have tomorrow or Wednesday to go :)
