Is there such a thing as reverse dyslexia where my fingers can't type what I'm thinking in order?

When Harry arrives at hogwarts in the third movie, the (presumably) school choir performs a song that is diegetic to the score. Were they rehearsing over the summer? Did a bunch of teenagers show up and perform a piece on day one? Makes no sense. Fucking Hogwarts.

I am rewatching all the Harry Potter movies for reasons that are dumb. Here is something that has bugged me forever:

My midlife crisis won’t be a car, it’ll just be A/V equipment. Maybe that’s what this all is. At least I still have hair. Idk.

ChuckR @chuckguy55.bsky.social · 16/03/2026

I don’t really want to use Threads but I (unfortunately) use Reels pretty heavily and it keeps pushing me there. I have begun to enjoy The Pitt conversation I’m seeing there. Idk if bsky has these things and I’m not seeking it out, or if the community on here just never grew large enough.

I sometimes forget that my 2 1/2 year old doesn’t know or care about “fidelity” and I should stop ever trying to tune the media he is consuming in any way. (He got a toy that projects books on the wall and I keep fiddling with the focus. Other examples…)

ChuckR @chuckguy55.bsky.social · 05/03/2026

What I learned is that I never understood the receiver or the speakers, and have likely never had them set up in an accurate or optimal way. They made sound, but now I feel like I missed out on really understanding them...

000

ChuckR @chuckguy55.bsky.social · 05/03/2026

If nothing else I'm good at distracting myself. I am trying to sell my old receiver and passive speakers. I wouldn't mind keeping them but they're bulky and don't make sense. In the attempt to sell them, I have done more research and learned more about them than I ever have.

I wonder if that’s why religion…

Tried out a makeshift surround setup this weekend I just don’t think it’s going to work out with the seating arrangement in our room. A bummer but I’m not surprised. All I want is to hear sound from the front and also to the side, slightly behind me.

ChuckR @chuckguy55.bsky.social · 21/02/2026

For better or worse I’m in Sonos ecosystem, I have a soundbar, the surrounds would be wireless.

Maybe the rule is “if I still care two weeks after the baby arrives than I can get it” because sure, whatever.

ChuckR @chuckguy55.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Music is great though. My son is excited that the music follows him between two rooms now. That makes me heart happy in a dumb way.

000

ChuckR @chuckguy55.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

it's amazing how once I start looking at anything with audio I start to think that I listen to music all day every day. I don't and I won't.

modern actual facebook.com is truly a terrifying place.

ChuckR @chuckguy55.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Can anybody tell me if "surround sound" is worth pursuing for just a living room tv setup? I have never bothered to have rear surround speakers for an actual 5.1 setup, but I've always sort of wanted to. I have a nice soundbar and have been entertaining the idea of surround speakers. Worth it?

ChuckR @chuckguy55.bsky.social · 19/02/2026

I hate any time I get into audio because there's no ceiling to it. You can't just dabble and end up with "arguably the best" audio setup. The more you research the worse it gets. Video's ceiling is pretty low. Not inexpensive you top out quick. Audio never ends.

ChuckR @chuckguy55.bsky.social · 19/02/2026

I didn't do nothing but I at least went for the less expensive option.

Roar. Roar. Roar. Like a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

ChuckR @chuckguy55.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

Considering between two different speakers upgrades for the new room, and I have to keep telling myself over and over again that doing nothing is the most correct third option.

I did a bunch of interior painting over the weekend. It's weird how home ownership just forces you to learn to paint. The worst part about it is that by the end, I'm much better at it than when I started. But then it's over, and by the time I have to paint again I'll suck at it.

ChuckR @chuckguy55.bsky.social · 10/02/2026

It's an incredible idea. I hope I do it.

I ordered 500 coffee filters shortly after my son was born and they are about to run out. I commented to my wife then about how they marked the passing of time and we chatted about it again now. She had the idea of writing a journal entry every time we have to order coffee filters.

I think the keyboard may be giving me carpal tunnel but it could have also been the month of picross I played on a Nintendo DS. Jury is out.

existing waste deep in a pool of your own technical debt is a privilege that few get to experience any more.

The Monday after Thanksgiving is one of the harder Mondays of the year. This year it will feel like a warm bath. We spent the last 4 days potty training our toddler. I can't wait to go back to work instead.

My toddler shit in the toilet today. Happy Thanksgiving.

Hard to describe the feeling of introducing yourself to people you already know, but only through teams. You do great work, I'm just bad at small talk.
