And sometimes the internal part of the port sticks out, so there’s a ridge that makes it ten times harder to get the alignment right…

So could you…

Thanks for sharing, I’m tremendously intrigued by this. I really can’t imagine your experience.

When think of a song I like, I almost automatically “hear” it in my mind. It doesn’t interfere with my actual ears, it’s kind of on a separate plane of existence. Other noises in the real world can be distracting but I can (with a little effort) ignore one and focus on the other. Are we on the same page here?

With visual stuff it’s exactly the same. If I think about a person I know, I immediately see their face. Not with my eyes, but on a separate plane again. It doesn’t interfere with what my eyes are seeing but can require some concentration to focus on details. My internal monologue might say their name or I’ll hear something they once said to me, and I’ll experience certain emotions depending on the person. What happens when you think about a person?

Crikey, that brings back a memory I wish I’d forgotten.

Yes. Any image shared on any media is meme.

The one where the whole thing is just Walter chasing a fly around the lab. I’ve even got a vague memory of Vince Gilligan admitting it was only there because they were an episode short of whatever they were contractually obliged to produce but had very little budget left.

Yes, sexual harassment is a crime.

And in the UK (where Yorkshire is) we have a points system. If you build up 12 points you lose your license, and speeding can get you between 3-6 points per offence depending how serious it was. So it’s really not just a case of the rich speeding all the time, paying the fines and carrying on.

My TV has a “Night” mode that caps the volume at a certain level, so you can make the dialogue audible without having action be way louder. And also a “Volume Levelling” setting that has a similar effect, by trying to make all the sounds roughly the same volume rather than only quieting the ones that were louder to begin with.
