I figured Magruber would be terrible. I mean, the sketch overran its welcome almost instantly, how do you make a movie out of that? It turned out to be pretty loving funny. I mean, it's no Wayne's World or Blues Brothers but it's way better than it should be.

You had Kevin Nealon, Chris Rock, Mike Meyers, Dana Carvey, Troy McClure, David Spade, Adam Sandler, Tim Meadows, and Norm MacDonald. It was a severe letdown in 1996 when they canned everyone and you had Will Farrell and Colin Quinn as your standouts.

I think today's cast is much better. Kate McKinnon pretty much blows them all away.

Anyone else forced to watch Channel 1 News during high school? IIRC, it was Anderson Cooper and Lisa Ling's first broadcasting jobs. We had to watch it during homeroom just before the school's video news. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2M9l6hxy8No edit-dear God, I figured there was gonna be a lot of 'I hated watching this poo poo in school' in the comments, but the number of unironic comments about it being leftist propaghanda and mind control is staggering. uli2000 has a new favorite as of 20:29 on Nov 29, 2018 |

What I remember about Channel 1 was that on the days we were going to watch it the teacher would leave the CRT TV on and tuned to the right channel way ahead of time, and I seemed to be the only one in class who found the ultra-high frequency of the idling TV both clearly audible and maddening. It was like an early preview of the tinnitus I now suffer as a old. EeeeEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeee

Seldom Posts posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rzl3AB5tw-w That's pretty fantastic. Sweet was this rocker that was also a big nerd, but like not just for anime and stuff, but also for his love of older stuff. Like who would stick Tuesday Weld on their album cover? I am pretty sure I talked about this before but when I was in Jr High, if you didn't see SNL on Saturday night you weren't poo poo on Monday Morning. Waynes World, Church Lady, Superfans, Sprockets, Copy Guy Weekend Update were all part of our language, and whoever was the musical guest was the coolest, at least until next saturday. Kids would record the audio from the Musical Guests to listen to later.

Music in the 90s: Does it seem to anyone else as though a bunch of 70s era heavy guitarists all stopped playing heavy music and each became yet another ageing white dude recording blues albums that all sounded exactly the same? Gary Moore and Pat Travers are the biggest examples that occur to me, or at least they're the guys whose earlier music I most prefer to their blues records. I think Leslie West might have done the same thing? I don't remember. Robin Trower of Procol Harum, certainly. Did they all just see how much acclaim Stevie Ray Vaughan got and decided they wanted to be "legitimate" as well? What's up with that anyway? Critics didn't like heavy music but ageing white dudes (who were usually rich ageing white dudes by that stage in their career) playing the same John Lee Hooker riffs was "respectable". It is very strange.

High frequency sound is one of those super annoying things to explain to people, because a lot of people just aren't aware of it at all, nor do they realize that as they age ( or get hearing damage. ) their ability to hear higher frequency stuff erodes. And then they look at you like you're crazy because you're mentioning how a monitor or a power supply or a lovely lightbulb is screeching.

It seems like we're destined to have this crossposted in every thread, but it definitely belongs here. The new Grimes song definitely hits that late-90s nostalgia button pretty hard. Specifically that just-before-9/11 high-gloss metallic neon future vibe. Sort of like a cleaner-sounding Orgy or Powerman 5000 song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYG_4vJ4qNA

Croccers posted:What age am I supposed to stop hearing it at please tell me. At a later one, there's no magical cutoff. (But I think it tends to start affecting people from the late 20s or so. ) You just get worse and worse at hearing them as your body slowly shuffles towards the grave. Functioning just slightly worse every day. (Though to make up for it, you might luck out and lose the ability to hear high pitched sounds, but instead get tinnitus. )

I get this less than when I was younger but nowadays I'm actually a lot more bothered by low frequency sound for some reason. I got a new fridge and for a little while I was hearing some low frequency rumble when it would kick on and it feels like it makes my right eardrum twitch. Something deep in my ear anyway. I also get this sometimes when I'm indoors and hear someone's loud bass playing outdoors in a car. One time I heard something at work and I have no clue what it was but it made my ear do the twitchy thing and when I complained everyone else said they couldn't hear it! Eventually it stopped. Maybe I should mention this to a doctor but it happens fairly infrequently and seems to just be really uncomfortable, not painful

My previous monitor was lovely about that (Being a cheap one I bought online to get 2560x1440 IPS at like a quarter the price of ones locally. ) when I had large amount of white/light pages, with some black elements on, like Wikipedia. Switching Excel to a different colour theme, like the black one might help alleviate that. (Or perhaps making cell colours like 10-20% grey instead of white.) Or possibly see if you can't wrangle a monitor upgrade for 'increased productivity'.
