The microphones in our offices hybrid meeting rooms have really aggressive audio ducking and I don't normally have audio processing issues but the ducking is so distracting I feel like I can't follow what is actually being said

I enjoy a little aggressive ducking here and there.

I'm going to guess that you moved to a substantially more suburban part of the metro? In my (US) experience that's usually where the difference lies.

I'm not really sure what that means. Further from the CBD? I'm further out now than the last place I lived, but about the same distance as the place I lived before that.

Debate bro youtube channels, regardless of their politics. They rarely if ever accomplish much other than justifying bad-faith alt right types by giving them a forum for their views.

The same thing happens every time: Talking points are recited. No one's mind is changed. Both sides come away thinking, "I totally owned [my opponent]!" and this becomes an article of faith regardless of what actually happened during the debate. It's just a complete waste of time.

Even if I don't touch anything, sometimes my computer just decides my audio interface isn't gonna work. And everything says it still is, but the sound isn't going through my interface and through my headphones, it's coming out of the drat built-in speaker. FFS. Not touching a working setup is supposed to keep it from breaking.

I've tried everything I can think of so now I'm just sitting at my keyboard mad.

Like, it's hard enough to achieve a state of creative flow and record it, I don't need this poo poo

A double-decker peanut butter and jelly sandwich was one of my mainstays in highschool and college. Based on other people's reactions, it is not a common thing.

Bread is a cheaper fill-you-up food than peanut butter, would be my guess.

It was this (making it an equivalent of somewhere between 1.5 and 2 normal sandwiches):

It seemed like once a year I would get this great idea to just mix the jelly with the peanut butter in the jar ahead of time, and every time it was a disaster, but each time I thought, well I must have done it wrong and this time it'll be awesome.

Probably pretty shelf stable, could go either way. The packaging doesn't say "refrigerate after opening".

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Anybody who tells me to get an e-reader. Nope, sorry, part of my love of books is them being books. An e-reader will never replace a used book store. Let me read my books, you're being the same kind of person who sees me with headphones on the bus and asks what I'm listening to. It's you, now. I'm listening to you. Part of the giant noise canceling headphones is an explicit "don't talk to me please" signal rear end in a top hat. I know where I'm going, I knowish everyone who rides the same bus, my music is mine, please don't be the guy going "so what kind of music do you like, where you going? Weather eh? I'm just being nice by making small talk" cuz no you are not you are loving my morning.

Peeve may or may not be inspired by a bus woman sitting right next to me when there were plenty of empty seats and interrogating me. Lady I have enough poo poo going on, I don't care one poo poo what you do or where you are going or what media you like, I don't want to tell you, take the many hints, stop chattering, please, please, it isn't friendly

An actual pet peeve.
I catsit for a neighbor sometimes when they're gone, but it's incredibly annoying how their parents will just suddenly swing by to do something or other while they're gone, and let the cat in/out etc without a mention.
Which means I have to start looking around to double check if he's just hiding or not. Sometimes they'll feed him as well, meaning he suddenly gets a lot more food in a day than he's supposed to.
