you get used to it. I started doing it with The Crown because I couldn't understand the high falutin english accents of the mid 20th century. Then I decided to turn it on for any show where the words actually mattered. So I typically turn it off for sports or reality TV. But if i'm watching a drama or documentary, they are always on. It's amazing how much more I retain with subtitles.
Same. Started using closed captioning with GOT and haven’t gone back. Am fully capable of having the entire watching experience. there’s actually more I catch using CC because of the things I didn’t understand before.
I got started on using CC when I was young because my dad would watch TV with the sound muted and CC on. That was his solution to having four kids running around when he wanted to watch TV.
It’s been years since I’ve checked tmb and this thread still delivers gold within the first couple pages
We haven't had any water pressure since we woke up this morning She just came to ask me if I would check the water heater because there isn't any hot water I told her that yea, we haven't had water all day, why would you think we would have hot water now, and asked her if she remembered I specified asked to not turn on the hot water because I don't want to drain the tank which will damage the water heater "I just wanted to wash my hands " I'm such an asshole
Similar to running your car fuel tank empty. Pulling all the settled poopoo into where it does not belong. Not literal poopoo but sediment.
Started watching one earth in netflix. Her " wait, wildebeests are real animals? Me "are you serious? Her "yeah" Me "what did you think they were" Her " I don't know, mythical like beautiful and the beast"
I’m the asshole for not watching the toddler close enough (five minutes after getting home from a 90 min stroller walk) so that she can watch her 10 hour work webinar undisturbed on the living room couch. Suggesting she move to a room with a door is haram.
You ever find that they just don’t match? The dubbed Spanish and the Spanish CC just aren’t using the same words/phrasing.
My wife decided to break down a pack and play and leave it on the floor in the middle of a dark hallway. Kicked a metal edge of it and two of my toes have now been bleeding for several hours.
Wife went to grab a can of paint so I could touch up the walls. Told her to get flat. Because that’s what sheen our walls are. Comes home with eggshell “because the lady at Sherwin Williams recommended it”
Looking at in wall ovens on homedepot.com cause we need to replace ours, and I swear to God all this woman does is look at prices and decide the most expensive ones are the nicest I was looking at a GE smart unit (cause I want it to be wifi) and she likes it when I show it to her Then she proceeds to find a Bosch that's twice as expensive and not wifi and says she really likes that one. When I ask her what is it about it she likes thinking there must be some features or something, she responds that "it just looks nice"
That store messed up because all they had to do was to raise the price of their most expensive oven by 20% and slap a 15% discount tag on it and it was a done deal
And he doesn’t need it but it’s a nice feature. I don’t have it by the way but I can see the appeal if I am in the market for a new oven
back in my days we would have to start a fire if we wanted to eat warm food and we did not complain about it
i want it so much now. alright honey I will put the lasagna in the oven in the morning. Can you please start it at around 18 so it’ll be ready at 19
How much extra are you paying to preheat your oven from the couch instead of walking into the kitchen?
Slow cooking some meat, this looks like a dream I am heading to the store and coming back with an oven that does not have wifi but that oven looks so good
But even if you can turn it on remotely, are you just going to leave raw meat in the oven until you're ready to turn it on? I can see the utility for getting alerts if you leave it on and being able to turn it off, but I can't think of any others.
Naa man But I have a wifi pellet grill now and it's fucking outstanding having it connected to my phone while cooking I can adjust temperatures and check meat temps from my neighbors house It's fucking awesome being able to put some meat on and drive the golf cart over to the lake and fish and check in on the meat from the lake Meat gets done but we ain't done fishing? Just turn the grill temp down to 150 and let it hang around I just imagine being able to do the same while baking some bread or something would be awesome
I almost put a brisket in my wifi smoker the night before the superbowl just to be able to start the smoker at like 3 am from my bed But temps were only predicted to be getting down into the low 40's, so I chickend out
