Comment on It’s Boulder! Sundance exits Utah for 2027 move to blue state Colorado. in ~movies
Frinet Link ParentLike @cloud_loud said, ABQ is a much smaller airport than SLC. SLC is one of Delta’s main hubs while ABQ is definitely just a spoke. DEN is a United hub and is larger than SLC as well.Like @cloud_loud said, ABQ is a much smaller airport than SLC. SLC is one of Delta’s main hubs while ABQ is definitely just a spoke.

Comment on Does spatial audio actually improve music to you? in ~music
Frinet LinkIt all depends on the mix to me, sometimes the Dolby Atmos mix was done really well and sometimes the stereo sounds way better.

I have noticed that having AirPods gen 2 with a good ear tip seal has improved Spatial Audio a lot over my poorly fitting gen 1s.
A favorite mix of mine where I think Spatial Audio sounds better than the stereo is Turnstile’s Blackout.

I’ve never been a huge fan of Anthony Green’s vocals although I did really like the 2016 Saosin album and he’s pretty good here. The instrumentation is a lot of fun with lots of cool moments. Overall probably a 7.5/10 for me!

Tower controllers typically “simulcast” on both UHF and VHF so when only the VHF frequency gets recorded or transcribed you tend to see what appears to be a one-sided conversation with military aircraft.

Soap: I rotate between Barrister and Mann scents. Recently I’ve been a huge fan of Miur Wood and Le Grand Chypre but I love trying the seasonal scents, they also recently updated their soap base formula to a vegan base. I’ve also used Noble Otter orbit scent and enjoy it a lot.
Bowl: Depending on how much time I have in the mornings I will either face lather or use a shaving scuttle which keeps the lather warm for when you apply and really enhances the whole experience. -

When they did communicate it was either via the quick menu to ping things on the map or it was text chat and only focused on the gameplay. That being said I have heard that’s not everyone’s experience. If you want to play with a friendly group feel free to send me a DM. I’m not on all the time but I’d be happy to add you as an in-game friend!

Frinet Link ParentPersonally I’m a big fan of the spoiler boxes but I’m more of a lurker and not a power user so take that with a grain of salt.Personally I’m a big fan of the spoiler boxes but I’m more of a lurker and not a power user so take that with a grain of salt.

They are indie-pop/rock from Australia and I saw them recently opening for Manchester Orchestra and Jimmy Eat World on tour. They are a little more poppy then either of those bands but had a great live act!

Comment on What are some highly praised comedians you don't find very funny? in ~talk

Or perhaps you could ask what lesser known comedians people enjoy.
As it stands the question is inviting the type of negativity that I think many on tildes came here to avoid. Let people enjoy what they enjoy and let’s focus on the positives in life!
On that note I think my favorite form of comedy is TV - I have been going back through the show New Girl and I have been finding it almost as hilarious the second time through. The first season or two definitely have some cringey moments that have gotten cringier with time and it’s kind of funny to see the early 2010’s twee obsession slowly dampen out as the title sequence shortens and then gets replaced by electric guitars in subsequent seasons. But the interactions between the core group of actors holds up as absolute gold if you enjoy feel-good buddy-comedy at all.

Oh absolutely, I picked up the vinyl yesterday and briefly combed through the rest of the album’s lyrics. Definitely dealing with the theme of abuse and childhood trauma and a loss of innocence in quite a few of the songs. I wonder if the woman and Doberman are representative of parts of himself?
