My reaction when I saw the reason: 😳 I did not expect this!

Love this

Time for the next technological improvement in audio/visual gear: a separate volume control for the music track.

Hubby and I use subtitles if we are snacking while we watch tv. We can’t have the volume too loud or it can wake the kids and chewing makes it hard for yourself to hear (just wanted to be clear that it’s not the other person’s loud a** chewing that makes it hard to hear lol)

I generally don't need subtitles with old TV and movies. It's only relatively recent stuff - say, in the last 30 years or so - that I need subtitles (or foreign films - I have trouble with some older US productions). Older stuff generally has the actors enunciating very clearly with sound produced so you can follow the dialogue. Modern directors seem less interested in ensuring the audience can actually work out what the actors are saying than in the past. Don't blame the sound recorders and sound engineers - they're just doing what they're told. (Foreign films? Yeah, well, I've never been able to make out all of Stallone's impassioned speech towards the end of First Blood - subtitles for that are essential if you ask me. Even with headphones on...)

I am hard of hearing.

My native language is Spanish, so I have seen movies that are in English with subtitles in spanish my whole life. Yes, I listen and read at the same time in different languages. Not a problem.

If y'all like the convenience of book shopping online, try https://bookshop.org. You can shop small, local bookstores and have stuff sent right to your door.

I buy books from Amazon because Amazon offers many of the ones I like in e-format. The libraries carry some of them as well but not many.

Beautiful gesture but at the same time, a horror.

Should never have been sent there in the first place. 😔 RIP 💔

While this honors the soldiers who didn't make it back from this illegal war, more efforts should've been made for those who returned and were shunned by Americans and their government.

I have seen this before and it always moves me every time. RIP & RESPECT

The Viet Nam war in part was a means for presidents Johnson/Nixon to exterminate the growing counter culture in America. The LSD and Eastern philosophy movement was turning teens away from capitalism and materialism. Politicians at the time perceived a movement based on love would topple the American capitalistic way of life.

He had a heart of gold by all accounts. His stepson spoke of him many years later and remembered “Jack,” as close loved ones called CS Lewis, as follows: “ He didn't ever preach to me or lecture at me in any way. He didn't regard me as a pupil, but more as a son. I grew up in his household and watched him live his Christian life, and live his Christian faith, and he did so in a manner probably more strongly and more accurately than any man I've ever met since."” He goes on in that same interview to state that CS Lewis was an He goes on in that same interview to state that CS Lewis was a man who kept his word. Apparently, the interview in question from 1998 is still accurate.

I think this was a class assignment--so about 30 students wrote, each to a different writer, but only 3 or 4 got replies.

Miles Davis did not practice much when he got older. He said he would rather fill up his time doing other things in life. Because without other experiences, a jazz musician has nothing to express in his music.

That is also some good advice.

Brits are very good at conserving their history. Well done!

Ooh, I went there, multiple times as a child. At that time you could climb down to the river to see the different bridges, as in the photo!

I love this so much.

No! HERE is the skeleton of a Stingray! ABP75-67b3...aaabc9.jpg

And I thought deboning my sea bass was a nightmare!

Why is there no skeleton of Troy Tempest or Marina?

Wow!

Bottom right derp rock is derpy.

Second row from the bottom, 3rd from the left looks like quite a character!

Bethan’s rock may deserve a spot here.

I bet the little girl who donated her precious stone to Poole Museum ( earlier post ) would love this.

Bottom right one is a perfect Meeseeks!

I like Jon.

What I did was when I was painting a room, I also get the tester so if I needed to repaint I knew the colour I used (in case I forgot)

This is adorable 😂
