I'm subbed to r/horrorlit and keep wondering if I'm taking crazy pills because it feels like 30% of the posts are some variation of "What's the scariest/best horror book you've read?" They reword it or give it a slightly different spin but it's essentially the same question over and over. And then of course the responses are always the same 40 books being mentioned repeatedly. I don't understand why anyone who's been on the sub for more than a month would keep upvoting the same question.

I made the transition to Linux Mint at the beginning of the year. I just booted into Windows the other day and saw that it had been six weeks since the last time.

Better than someone with no "real medical training."

I bet some phlebotomists could be convinced.

I've tried Quest 2 once at a friend's house. I thought it was pretty neat but nothing about the experience made me want to run out and buy one or even plan to buy one in the future. I believe that unless good VR headsets come down in price significantly (sub $100) they're never going to be more than a niche hobby.

If you like feature rich apps then I recommend Podcast Addict.

In-N-Out is what McDonalds was 40 years ago.

I get you. I do something similar. I love physical discs and have a healthy blu ray collection. I tend to buy older or more obscure cult movies that I'm worried may not be readily available on streaming. But I avoid DVDs specifically because of the low resolution. For some movies it just can't be helped. Very obscure content may even only be available on VHS transfers and I'll watch those if I'm really interested in the movie or show.

I think my DVD days are mostly done. Even with a decent upscaler (Nvidia Shield) 480p looks terrible on my 4K TV.

I have a lot of 720p movies that I watch on my 4k TV. I'm always surprised at how good they look.
