  I have it set to automatically change to headphones when they’re plugged in and for all audio to go through headphones when they’re plugged in, however the startup music and log in screen music still play through the TV. After logging into a profile, it’ll switch over to headphones for all audio.

  I’ve even left my headphones plugged into the controller after manually choosing headphones for all audio and then turning the PS5 off and on again and it pushes startup and login screen music through the TV.

  In the movie, none of them died. Wonka verifies it at his office door when he picks up the mail. Charlie asks about the other kids and Wonka says they’ve been turned back into their terrible nasty selves, but are hopefully wiser for the wear. Wonka then points Charlie and Grandpa Joe to the exit and apologies for not showing them out because he’d already wasted the entire day.

  I never had any long load times on my PS4, usually only about 5-10 seconds. However, I think the 5-10 minute load times for PS2, even when just changing areas in a game made me a lot more patient for Playstation games.

  I remember avoiding the save feature on Star Wars Battlefront due to the long time it took to save and hours spent on the PS2 Harry Potter games. Walking through a door would trigger a 5-10 minute wait period and you couldn’t necessarily use that as a bathroom break, because you didn’t want to miss a cutscene.

  Not that the PS5 was a major upgrade to the PS4. Sure it can produce some better graphics, but the UI is such a downgrade.

  I’ll never understand why they made an option to silence the beep at startup, but they push the boot up and login music through the TV when headphones are connected to a controller. That’s so much more annoying and last so much longer when you’re trying not to disturb other people in the room.

  I know that the Rav4 Hybrids have a real hand brake, at least when they first started making them. Not sure about the newest ones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jeep pushed software update that bricked all 2024 Wrangler 4xe models⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Did toyota get rid of their hand e-brake? I thought they were one of the few left that still had a manual e-brake.

  That makes sense now! Thank you, I was having trouble wrapping my head around it!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who the fuck needs an x axis anyway⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Any clue why there are 2 bars per year grouping?

  I thought it was maybe number of cases in each year, but 2000 at the beginning of the graph and when 2000 appears later don’t match.

  Yeah, there was too much infighting and incompetence for him to do as much damage in the first term. His cabinet was dropping like flies the first term and we’re almost 8 months in and nobody’s been fired yet

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's been downhill since 2020⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  *2016 was the last normal year.

  Let’s not forget the chaos and societal upset during the first term.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that in several US States, it's illegal to boycott Israel⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It wasn’t meant as a slight to you. It was more a comment on how they worded the law.

  Kind of like how the news will turn trumps ramblings into coherent thoughts. We shouldn’t modify the language of poorly written laws to make sense of them. That hurts the people governed by them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that in several US States, it's illegal to boycott Israel⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t put words in the mouth of the law. We have something similar in TX. If you are a government employee you have to agree not to “boycott Israel”. It doesn’t say boycott Israeli products or companies. It says “boycott Israel” itself, so you just can’t say that you’ll never travel there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Checkmate.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They look at one verse, 2 Timothey 3:16 “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,”

  and apply that to the entire Bible, including the letters written to different sects in different cities/regions clarifying rules to keep them from breaking apart. Kinda like from Ghost, they imagine god reaching down and writing through people I guess.

  Your calculations are gross income. He should also have to pay Satan his tax, as well as pay for food and housing. With all that, he would have very little saved and take much longer.

  The genie just made 1 US Dollar equal to 1 Australian dollar. One problem solved, another created.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the progress pride flag so poorly designed (especially the intersex progress pride flag)? Will it be redesigned?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not actually the original pride flag. That’s the one with 2 mission stripes that were taken away due to cost. The original had turquoise instead of blue and a pink and indigo stripe, so one color more than the rainbow. Rainbows have red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

  The 8 striped also symbolized different things. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_flag_(LGBTQ)

  I agree with what you’re saying. As they keep adding more things to the flag, it becomes cluttered and harder to see.

  Even biblically speaking, it’s anti-christian. The first chunk of Galatians talks about how they should not force anyone to be circumcised. It goes against the bible to force anyone to be circumcised.

  Really? I’ve only had one job that required my social security card. I’ve worked in multiple school districts, as well as food and hospitality jobs and only 1 of the school districts wanted to see my social security card.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Having $270 billion dollars and spending the bulk of your time trying to make more money is like weighing 900 pounds and thinking "ooh, I bet I can get to 1000".⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve heard there are people that do something similar to get on those reality shows about fat people’s lives or the weight loss competitions. I guess some think it’s easier to gain 100 more pounds and then get on the TV show to lose 400 pounds than it is just to lose 300 pounds themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will COVID death rates of Republicans have a significant impact on the outcome of the presidential election?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the pandemic will definitely have an effect. If I recall correctly, Fox News changed gears and started promoting the vaccine after realizing that their base was dying at a faster rate than Democrats.

  It could have been a co tributing factor to Georgia voting for Biden in 2020 and could be a reason why Biden was closer to winning TX than Hillary was.

  Florida is hard to say, because a lot of retirees move there. So while the Republicans there may have been hit harder during covid, those may have been replaced with more Republicans moving in to retire in the sun.
