Yeah, for sure. My husband and I are both like this. Waving my arm often works for getting his attention.

But a frustrated parent could definitely blame it on headphones or think the kid is going deaf. Especially if they are not the kind of person that immerses like that.

Unless the parent can hear the headphone music themselves from a few feet away. In which case, they have a point that it might be too loud.

The issue is probably more that you don’t hear her when you are focused.

My husband is like that. Especially if he’s listening to something with headphones.

It’s not the volume (he’s not got them loud) it’s that he’s locked in. I’m the same way, except if you say my name and pause a beat, I snap out quicker.

I have to say his a couple times. Just starting to talk without a cue and the focus makes us miss the beginning, if not all.

Also happens with reading, programming, writing Which are immersive. quiet activities

Jeffrey’s brother (Mark)

From context and references to “Donald”, “with Bannon”, “Ask Putin”, and “Donnie Tee” - I’m guessing “Donnie Dee” also refers to the current President.

Don’t know if Dee is a typo or a dick joke.

Pence was the vice president of the first term.

They’ll release it in two weeks.

Or at least, that’s what they started promising in 2016.

I learned in both because while automatics were the norm, my parents never wanted me stranded in case a manual was my only option. So I learned in an older cute as hell red paint faded it was almost pink Jeep pick up truck with no tailgate.

Looking at photos online, I think it was maybe a 60s era Willie or a Gladiator from the 70s. It was pretty old, but not a classic, when I drove it.

I looked it up. It’s an independent surreal horror rpg. I’m guessing it’s got a lot of fanart that is nsfw

Union scale and exposure if you don’t want to read. The article only hypes up the successful exposure, not the trainwrecks.

Maybe you, but definitely not me.

Does the algae taste like spiralina? Because if it still tastes like an aquarium that needs cleaning smells, it will be incredibly difficult for some of us to eat without gagging.

And I’m not a particularly picky eater.

Was she actually qualified for the job? Since she was appointed a month ago, I assumed she was a Project 2025 hire

From the thumbnail thought it was Nessie from the Loch

Very cool!

Mine in Brandi and she has property that people want to buy and Republicans want her to fill out surveys

There’s a movie called Shallow Grave. Ewan McGregor’s character is on the phone at work at a newspaper. We hear his side of the conversation:

Was there a pet in the house? Yeah, a pet. You know, like a dog or a budgie or a gerbil or something? What I need here is “PC Plod saves Harry the Hamster from house of horror”. All right. Well, that’s a pity. You see, no pets - no human angle.

This line has lived rent free in my head for almost 30 years. “All right. Well, that’s a pity. You see, no pets - no human angle.”

While I love manga and the artwork… I read and comprehend words much, much faster. For a massive opus like One Piece, I would love a novel version of the manga that I could dig into, with the novel and manga chapters lining up or notated, so I could go back and read chapters of the manga and enjoy the artwork for especially key or poignant scenes. Then I could start just consuming the manga and anime in real time… Right now it’s just too daunting to start. I’ve seen the first season of live action and anime. I’m very interested, I just can’t justify the time commitment.

Was looking for this.

Because of your comment I actually read the article.

Would recommend.

I definitely have friends like this. I have some family like this. We are good no matter how much time between communications.

I also have some family that put zero effort in and maybe they’d show up if I needed them. But given that after one text, they haven’t checked in at all after my Dad died unexpectedly 7 months ago…

They still have each other and both parents. I’m not going to be the one comforting them.

So I’m not actually sure they’d show up even if I asked.

Luckily, I have people who have checked in on me without me having to reach out first.

As someone who has link tracking in our business, yes, some of the stuff after the ? isn’t nefarious tracking, like the utm mentioned above.

All the “list-unsubscribe” options you may have noticed starting about a year ago, are actually required to be there for any company that sends out any kind of email newsletter over a certain threshold. (Lists around 5k or more)

If the unsubscribe links aren’t there, with the required url-encoded parameters (along with some other requirements with DNS) the email will not be delivered to any of the majors (google, yahoo/aol, hotmail, big ISPs) and we get blocked.

The unsubscribe parameters are being tracked, yes, but we have to have them so we can unsubscribe you “in one click” We are not allowed to require you to sign in to unsubscribe you. (Not that we ever did that, but now there must be a one-click option.)

(We used to just be two clicks to unsubscribe off an encoded link. Click -> this you? If yes, click -> you are now unsubscribed. Or sign-in and manage subscriptions without an encoded link.)

Again, the point is that not all url encoded tracking is nefarious. Some of it is now required to try and minimize spam and nefarious emails.

From scratch? I’m looking into some miso paste, so I can make my own miso soup
