Friday Fun Link – Visualizing Why Americans Increasingly Use Sub-Titles

Not understanding accents. Poor sound mixing. Helps overcome noisy distractions while watching.  (Ironically as I type this, Sasha is literally digging in the fridge asking if we have any yoghurt as Shea and I (try to) watch “Daisy Jones and the Six” – and yes, we have sub-titles on!) Bad hearing Not necessarily bad hearing […]

Bought Charlie a fifty foot leash and it’s a great way to take advantage of the huge green space behind our house and let him basically be “off-leash” without actually being off-leash (now if we could convince the various other dog owners that use the space that it’s not actually an off-leash park, that would […]
