Lol, of course. I need to do a re-watch.
I've heard that before but cannot place it. What is that from?
For best results, it depends on the context.
For example, when I'm dealing with people who cannot (or refuse) to do the simplest of tasks, I've found myself muttering "ugh, just read the instructions I wrote you troglodyte".
Nice, and yeah, definitely. Until my senior year English class, the only books were were allowed to use for any reading assignment were Shakespeare or Newberry award books.
Definitely different experiences, but yeah, agree. Generally, I only like to listen to the audiobook after I've read it (unless there's no other option). It's difficult for me to not miss important plot points when I'm listening to it, but that's probably just my ADHD.
The genre doesn't exist, but it should: "Bedtime Stories: Narrated by Morgan Freeman and Stepehn Fry".
Seriously, this. I can't stand to read "the classics" but I love reading things that interest me. Would be nice if schools recognized that and encouraged reading just for the sake of it rather than forcing kids to trudge through endless stanzas of "ye art incorrect and thou must protest this injustice. Oh Horatio! Oh, lamentation this! Lamentation that!" Like, fuck, I lost the plot 3 pages of lamentations ago.
Just let kids do book reports on Harry Potter (or whatever's cool these days). At least they're reading and their brain cells are firing.
Provided it's got a decent narrator, audiobooks are like literal bedtime stories, and a lot of players have "sleep mode" that will either set a timer or stop it after the current chapter. Seems like an easy way to get people into them, IMO.
I have two of Stephen Fry's autobiographies on audiobook and would basically let his smooth voice lull me to sleep. 😆
I think I'm just gonna get some Pi Zeros + cameras and just roll my own. Probably use the NoIR versions and some cheap IR illuminators. Feed those into Zoneminder.
Bonus points if I can find some old CCTV cameras, gut them, and fit the pi camera to those optics.
That's a real hero move, and I appreciate it.
Commenting so I can remember to check back for any suggestions. I've basically run into this problem:
Smartphones in 2040:
Whatever. As long as I can run LineageOS or Debian on it.
