I switched to wireless during the covid pandemic. Otherwise it was really painful to put on and off the mask each time I entered public transport. And I agree, it’s super convenient in many other situations as well.
I have both wireless and wired. The wireless ones sound fine although if I switch from one to the other the wired are a noticeable improvement. The real issue I have with them is that there’s a noticeable delay that makes watching every video like a dubbed movie. Secondary to that I have never been able to get ones that fit perfectly so I’m constantly having to poke them back in especially if I’m eating or something and my jaw is moving around and there’s just a lot of general bluetooth issues that are annoying. I have a much easier time with the wired ones just working.
It’s not like it was a mutually exclusive option. I have an S9 and I swamp between wireless and wired audio all the time depending on the setting. These newer phones have only one option. Bluetooth does not work well everywhere. Frankly forcing more things into the same radio frequency just makes it worse.
Ironing is the only time of the week where I have the time to watch TV or movies. Not that I don’t have free time, but I usually spend it in other ways. During ironing, I’m a captive audience. That said, I don’t iron all that much. I remember the last season of The Boys took me four months to finish…
I went to a crypt in Britain as a kid, can’t remember where tf it was, but I still remember it because it was super interesting.
It’s where I learned about Trepanning and how they did it back in olden times to “let the bad spirits out” and it actually worked because it reduced swelling around the brain by giving the blood a way out.
Yeah that’s what the dude said when he was showing us around, blew my preteen brain.
I recently watched an episode of Hamiltons Pharmacopoeia where this lady was talking about her experience living with the guy that made all the LSD for the south of Britain back in the day. She fell in love with a pigeon.
Anyway this dude was well into trepanning, thought it was a way to increase the brain capacity and expand the mind.
She ended up trepanning herself on film and releasing the footage, yeah they watched it on the episode.
This is correct. There’s actually a little plaque that has this explanation on it before you go into the crypt.
It’s this funny little Latin lesson before you descend into a skeleton catacomb and are confronted with the living memory that you, too, are temporary.
I’d disagree, unless you want to say pop punk isn’t punk (and if that’s what you’re saying, that’s fair).
Stuff like this springs out of acts of popular piety. When you teach that the relics of people in heaven can work as prayer aides, it’s a foregone conclusion that some may want to decorate (or even wallpaper, like the photos of the skulls) a prayer space with the highest class of relics.
This is how altars came to have a relic in a stone that the priest kisses at the beginning of every Mass.
It’s an unanticipated but popular reaction to authority and came from the bottom up rather than top down, ergo pop punk.
Just because something is old enough to become mainstream doesn’t mean it’s not punk. Green Day. Blink 182, et al. started out being labeled as punk before the term pop punk became widespread.
I get where you are coming from. Skull Aesthetic can be used to represent both authority (Religion/govt) and rebellion (Pirates/Bandits), but Holy Relics only really rep one side of that equation. Your Pop-Punk blow works as a jab/word play. That said your label isn’t actually Punk /s :).
These are pre-Christian Imperial Roman catacombs. The important part is the Imperial. People seem to forget that Rome was Authoritarian, and extremely, homicidaly so. Both pre, post, and during Constintine (hell Constintine was as well).
Yep, Christianity is filled with stuff like this and art. Most churches contain a decent amount of art. Most famous of all being the Sistine chapel, ofc. Found out this year about The Archbasilica of Saint John Lateran. Which is basically the Pope’s main church. Always assumed it would be the one in Vatican, but no, it’s a different one, in Rome. It’s a very impressive place. Huge statues. This being the best. St Bart is said to have been skinned alive, hence the knife and his face.
