  1. Generally I find that YouTubers talk at an artificially slow pace to try to drag out the length of whatever video they're producing, so 1.5x speed gets them back to a more professional TV cadence.  I don't usually listen to music on my TV (or if I do it's at 1x speed), but PPC just happened to come up as a recommendation after watching a non-music video.  I *think* YouTube pitch matches to normal speed, so it really does just sound like the band is up tempo.

  2. I'm a little biased because I knew them before I knew what they did, but Jeff Parker, Karla Pacheco, Jesse Hamm (RIP), Josh Trujillo, Tom Peyer, Zander Cannon. Doc Shaner, and Arthur Wyatt are all super nice and fun to pal around with.  Although he's a very nice person, Busiek term searches a lot, which he probably feels is helpful, but you can't have a conversation about him/his work without him showing up.

    i didn't think of this angle and it is a valid point. I saw that the actor (sorry, i forget his name) likened it to creating a language like Klingon, so it certainly sounds like it wasn't done out of malice. 

    Incredibly ironically, Black Bolt was played by Anson Mount, currently starring in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.  When SNW was first announced I was going to give it a pass based solely on his performance from Inhumans.  Thank God I gave it a chance.

  4. Look I'm sorry but creating your own sign language is a terrible idea.  It's like creating a gibberish "foreign language" for authenticity.  Black Bolt was out there Nelling it up and people bought into it because non-marginalized people have no clue about disabilities.

    For those who haven't heard... 

    A full and complete copy of Jerry Lewis' THE DAY THE CLOWN CRIED has been found.  The quick version is, a guy who worked at EuropaFilm copied it to VCR decades ago and it has been sitting on his shelf since.  He's trying to sell it to a producer for it to be restored and distributed.  Here's the 4 minute featurette about it:

     

    Everyone who was ever associated with the movie have said it was never finished, and the Library of Congress has all extant footage of the unfinished movie.  This seems like utter crap.

  6. If I were you, I'd probably throw that fubar'd phone in the outside trash and get it as far away from anything flammable as you can, just in case.

    Just some random weirdness over the past few days. Wednesday I was leaving work and my phone didn't connect to the bluetooth. Weird. I opened the case I carry that phone in and it was deader than disco and hotter than a $2 pistol. Weird. I plugged it into the charger and headed home. After I got home I charged it to 100% and shut it down. The next morning I turned the phone on and while listening to a podcast over an hour it went from 100% to 85%. I got headed to work and as I'm sitting at the booth to get my ticket to get onto the Indiana Toll Road the pickup in front of me gets impatient waiting on the person on front of him taking too long to get their ticket, so he puts his truck in reverse and starts backing up and I see those white reverse lights and start honking the horn and he backs right into me just as the person in front of him takes off. 
    ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?
    He pulled off, I grabbed my ticket and pulled off. We both didn't see any damage to my car(because we were looking at the center of the grill), but I insisted on calling the police(just to cover my ass). An Indiana State Trooper showed up and immediately noticed the damage where the pickup's trailer hitch hit my bumper. We finished our business and I filed my claim with my insurance a few hours later. I heard from both a body shop and a car rental agency within ten minutes of submitting the claim.
    I had the car looked at today after work and made an appointment for mid-May to get the car fixed.
    My mantra is "This is why we have insurance!" and I was mellower than Manilow during the situation.
    Then I got to work and took my phone out of the case and noticed it was slightly arched. I Googled it and a Reddit link later I found out that the battery was FUBAR'd. So this morning I tossed that phone into the trash and instead of having two phones(one for podcasts, one for everything else) I've got one phone handling everything like a champ. The podcast phone was an Xfinity Mobile and the other phone was a Tracfone. Tracfone has been my jam since '08. 
    Glad it's the weekend and we're good to go.
