Twin peaks had the sign changed at the last minute. It was originally supposed to be about 5,200, hence the mismatch between the sign and the tone

You can also stitch them with ffmpeg if a CLI is more your speed

Not OP, but maybe it's better phrased as "white Americans have a limited shared cultural heritage."

Waves of immigration make it hard to tell what of that 5 centuries is actually shared. It's also viewed as tacky to try and lay claim to the bit before your ancestors arrived.

If your ancestors were Irish and Italian immigrants from around 1850, going off about the Mayflower can be viewed as similar putting on airs

You're asking more about what sort of things put this particular human in a good or bad mood. Not that those wouldn't be interesting to track, but they're kind of besides the point here.

This chart seems more about the overall sentiment about the day.

Consider a spring loaded drawer divider. Keeping everything from sloshing around can make a surprising amount of space.

My drawer in the image used to be a nightmare. Everything used to move around and it would jam when opening sometimes. Adding dividers got it organized enough to leave a third of it free, which is now the rightmost section that's filled with tea.

It's been over a year and I still feel a small sense of joy when I open it sometimes. There's still messes of junk in the back left and right, but they stay put.

Vermont has (or had?) handwritten paper plates. Like if you imagine dealer plates, just messily written in sharpie and taped in the window.

As fake as they look to begin with, if you get close enough to read them, they're almost always expired.

On top of the definition provided by the other commenter, it's vaguely analogous to shopping for something, and opening a new tab for everything that looks vaguely good. Then doing a pass to winnow down and close items.

There's also structure for organizing things that are related. So if you weren't sure if you wanted a toaster or a toaster oven, you could spatially have two separate groups.

It only clicked for me once I saw someone else use it. I'm used to it just being hostile to search traffic.

When handwritten in English it's typically the curvier U shape.

I hope you don't mind, I creeped on your profile and found prior posts with your photos. You look like a perfectly reasonable woman. I interact with women far less attractive than you regularly and don't feel disgusted.

Do you have a therapist? A professional would be a great resource for digging into the reactions you're seeing.

If you bite the nub early it may mostly vanish into the kiwi. As long as I remember to do that I don't mind eating the nub.

Go to a local music shop and look for musician's earplugs with a rated dB reduction. At least -8dB, but a bigger reduction won't make your experience worse, it'll just make things even quieter.

I have some from a major guitar manufacturer that I've been using at the infrequent shows I go to for a decade. They were $10 then, and it looks like that's still true. I clean after using, but I wasn't really expecting to get this many shows out of them.

They don't muffle sounds, it just sounds quieter. Without earplugs I need to stand on the other side of the room/field to be comfortable. I'll still leave with ear pain and feeling exhausted. With earplugs I'm comfortable right in front of the speaker stack, and leave feeling exhilarated.

They've been a huge upgrade in my enjoyment of shows and I'm very grateful to my friend for dragging me to the shop and making me buy them.

There was also a fad to spam links to communities, some of them made up. Entire chains of comments would just be nonsense. A crackdown on that would make sense.

Here it's not really an issue. There I'd usually consider a link to a community without additional text to be spam.

Ham is cured, which is considered processed.

Not OP, but it could be a taste thing:

In the US it's frequently wet cured to save money. At the deli there are a lot of varieties of ham that mostly just taste sweet, with no noticeable ham flavor or saltiness. This is what usually ends up on Hawaiian pizza.

I'd buy that. If you want to replace 20% of my animal product with plants and can do an ok job I'm down.

As long as it's labeled properly and you don't have to do anything crazy, it's at the very least something I'll try.

Not OP, but most of it.

Tutorials I might need to go a bit slower, remembering broad strokes isn't enough, and detailed steps in order is probably too much, but that would be true at 1x speed as well.

For videos generally I watch almost everything at 2x or higher. Headphones help, it would be much harder if there were any competing audio stimulus. If I'm forced to go at 1x I retain almost nothing.

If you asked me about last Wednesday or the one before, I could probably tell you eventually. You might get a lot of detail about the rest of the week along the way, because I'd have to piece together what I did and which day Wednesday was.

It would be about the same if you asked me about the current weather moments after I walked inside. I might be able to tell you, but I'm going to have to build the memories on the spot.

In regards to anxious: I suspect this usage is similar to "anxiously awaiting" just morphed slightly. "I'm anxiously awaiting a raise" makes sense as a sentence, but is a bit clunky.

At least in my dialect (US northeast) clothes and close don't quite share a pronunciation. They're similar enough that you could probably fully elide the th sound, and I'm not sure anyone would notice.

When I pronounce clothes I can still feel my tongue move into the th position, and hear a small difference.

Immigrant/emigrant sound too similar to be generally usable. Lawless and lazy probably aren't the culprit here.

You can, but plugging thumb drives into work machines is not always kosher
