I violently agree with the first part, I HATE air fresheners with a passion.

That said, I'm extremely lax about many of the other things but have no problems with the house getting stinky (though I don't have pets, and am rigorous about not having smelly kitchen garbage, and as it is an older house is not air tight and so air does get in and out).

My laundry and shoes do not smell. Maybe I'm just lucky biochemically, but the same thinking / influences that lead people to think they need air fresheners can lead them to fuck up their skin biomes with harsh cleaners (especially anti-microbials), deodorants, and other unecessary "product" may actually lead to a greater tendency to be smelly. Houses have biomes as well and the same may apply. Unless you are immunocompromised or running an operating theatre you do NOT need antimicrobial anything.

If you sweat something up, change it right away and hang it to dry, and it should not get smelly. Do not put it wet into a closed hamper, or it WILL get smelly.

Who is that and why is his cranium so large?

I've seen others like this, but you are right these are less common.

I'd interpret it a little differently though. I would describe the voice for this kind of caption (any where it isn't the characters speaking) as 3rd person narrator, just as in fiction, and we don't need to hear as Larson's voice directly anymore than we need think about Larson speaking through his characters.

I think because it is a question rather than the narrator describing events, it may be easier to slip into hearing it as Larson rather then an impersonal narrator. But it's a play on a common expression which happens to be a question. If it were a play on a common expression not formulated as a question, like "a stitch in time saves mime" we'd just hear it as the narrator.

Does it download from the qobuz download store or from their streaming service?

You can tell what type a base pair is by listening to the tone it makes, but it's very quiet so you need a stethoscope.

If you hold the picture upside down the dna spirals the right way.

Yeah it's not like USB standard changes every few years or anything.

Do you not live in a world where sometimes non-zero time elapses between realizing you need a thing and procuring that thing?

For some icing on the cake, the sucrose of cane sugar very quickly breaks down in coke into glucose and fructose, in more or less same proportions as in HFCS, so it kind of doesn't change anything but the price, and which growers are happy.

 

So is this Thunder itself or some app it is deferring to whose config I should look at?

Basically videos start out dim for a few seconds until the video controls fade out. This means the first few seconds of every video are basically unwatchable, and with short videos this is all or most of the video. For example https://lemmy.world/post/17884719

 

Of the many Lemmy clients I've tried, Thunder is the one I like the best, but the one place I have nits is the creating a comment experience.

After typing the comment you have close you keyboard, to have any hope of the create button being visible (if your comment is really short) and then scroll all the way back up to the top. Isn't the bottom the obviously better place for this button?

Even worse, if in trying to scroll the screen, you accidentally hit the little horizontal bar at the top, you just lose your comment.

Finally, it seems to always lose my place in the thread and put me back at the top after entering a comment.
