"It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool, than to talk and remove all doubt of it." - Maurice Switzer

A phrase I think about in every comment section.

It seemed "normal", at the time, I guess, but was there really any need for 24 exposure rolls of 35mm film? I mean, 18" less of film? Seems weird, in hindsight.

Podcasters: about 80 years ago compressors were invented to modulate radio audio–tame the loud, increase the quiet. Please use them! Every single audio app has them! Tired of missing half of someone's sentence because they start loud, then mumble away to nothing, only to storm back at the end.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that Apple’s “Handoff” with AirPods is one of the most frustrating “features”, to me, on a daily basis. It's like technology roulette. Ooh, what's going to start playing when I click these???

I know, when the world seems to be tumbling into chaos, that sports aren't terribly important, ... but, for my mental health, I really needed this first weekend of the F1 season. Let's go.

I wonder how authors react if you ping ‘em about a factual error in one of their books? Just had quite the record scratch moment listening to an audio book…
