    I watched a few episodes of Spongebob Squarepants last night, because I'd never seen the show before in my life and I got curious.

    Now my Netflix recommendations are all fucked.

    • Spongebob? Youuuu?SimonFFM
    • I know, right?

    • I've never seen it either. Any good?Nairn
    • You watched The Midnight Gospel yet?
      I've only seen 2 episodes, and it's honestly the closest I've ever felt to tripping justfrom watching TV

    • Well, 'good' ... it's mildly entertaining, let's say. It's loud, frantic, and weird, and the visual jokes are more often than not better than the spoken ones.Continuity
    • The Midnight Gospel I've not heard of, but I'll check it out!Continuity

    • Laugh all you want, there's growing evidence that modern sleeping positions, particularly on back due to pillows, inhabits the brains ability to flush toxins...shapesalad
    • ...out of the brain during sleeping. A gradual build up of unfleshed toxins, due to neck angle is being researched as a cause of Alzheimers.shapesalad
    • Firstly researchers looked at natural sleeping positions - of 'primitive' people who don't sleep on beds or use pillows.shapesalad

    Just spent two hours trying to properly convert CMYK to RGB to match the right color...

    C=49, M=0, K=23, K=0

    On the screen...fucking hell!
    Wondering how the flyers and book cover will look like.
    Flyers will be printed in one print shop...the book by the publisher.

    Even if I could use Pantone, there would still be an issue.

    I already had forgotten about issues like this after 5 years without client printing jobs.

    • Web designer wanted the HEX codes, I was like "whatever"LOL!...oey_oey
    • CMYK always fucks up blues the most when converting from RGBCyBrainX
    • the first design was made in RGB because it was for screen only but client liked it so much it opted to have me design the flyers and book cover.oey_oey
    • so I had to redo the colors as I used Aqua (or RGB Cyan) first and there's no CMYK match. So I opted for this turquoise like Pantone 3252 but...damn!oey_oey

    Plasma TV burnt out. Fuuuuuuuuck

    I’m actually fine with this as I spent the night without some display light in my face. I noticed it shut down some hours earlier and when troubleshooting I heard that vsst-pop! sound with the trailing burnt smell of a blown capacitor.

    It's been running great for more than 10 years so it has served its purpose, but the image is so beautiful and displays everything with an interesting film-look I feel like I just need to open it up and inspect the boards. I’m pretty decent with a soldering iron and I'm sure I could find parts, the real problem is the fucker weighs over 75lbs and is so awkward to hold it can take up to 3 people to lift it off the wall.

    The gf has convinced me to find a new tv. With so many options now, 4k..8k..QLED..OLED...it should be an easy pick, right?

    Any recommendssss?

    • If it's just a blown cap, fix it or get someone who's comfortable doing so to?Nairn
    • Jesus, spot who entriely skimmed over the latter half of your second paragraph :\Nairn
    • Wait for a saleformed
    • @Narin haha, sorry, I meant it was having a shutdown issue and then the cap blew. So now it's two problems for sure.futurefood
    • But maybe the cap blew on the same sc board, if I'm lucky, which I'm not :(

      A holiday sale is coming up. We'll see

    just got back from surfing, its so god damn hot it felt like paddling in a Jacuzzi.

    Now I want to play VR, but if my hair is wet while playing the vr goggles fog up.

    So now i have to wait like an hour because I have long hair.

    • don't tie it back and go for a walk outside, occasionally billowing your locks in whatever wind is mustered, like some advert for hair conditionerNairn
    • its hot and humid as fuck outside then ill have to take a shower again because of sweat.moldero
    • hair dryer on cold, mines at the point if i dont dry it it's always a bit wet. the ginola effect only works until its past your shoulders then it's like havingkingsteven

    I ate a half jar of kimchi earlier and now I'm super wary about farting.

    • My culo has different thoughts on the matter.Nairn
    • fart back into the jarbezoar
    • I wonder if it's possible to store jarred farts? I doubt it - the particulates in the gas would settle. Kind of curious to test it though... .Nairn

    Fuckin’ firefox keeps bothering me about stuff so i switched to opera and it handles videos in a way i don’t like so i use safari and it doesn’t do what i want either so i’m stuck in this fucked up loop of different browsers depending on what i’m willing to put up with at whatever given moment and i hate it

    • Don't push me, because i'm close to MS Edgekingsteven
    • jump and be forgotten, or leave all the chrome behind and just go to the opera.sted

    I stupidly bought Tropical Trail mix from Wal Mart. Way too many dried bananas in there

    • haha, i was never a fan of mixes with too much dried banana or coconutNairn
    • the clue was in tropical??hans_glib
    • No...its not that. What they do is put cheapest thing in the most. So very little pineapple and mango, but LOTS of banana. Balance is way off...dkoblesky
    • great first world problemdkoblesky
    • Banana is the best partscarabin
