In the film "Stand By Me", there is a dramatic scene where the boys are crossing the bridge, when halfway through that, the train is coming & they're panicking, the train whistle is blowing, they're facing certain death! The caption simply reads:
[Choo]
It's not only underwhelming for the tension created by the scene, it's also fucking hilarious.

Airpods
Apple's Air Pods are getting a "hearing aid" mode - however, before you get too excited - this is for mild to moderate hearing loss, not severe (like I have). My units are way more powerful than puny ear buds - they have to be.

I have nothing against enlightenment, after all, but I have every problem with dogma.
