I have a high-grade sound bar, and I still have to constantly turn the volume up and down. The problem isn’t the gear, it’s the mastering. Christopher Nolan went all in on that when people complained they couldn’t hear what characters were saying in his films, declaring that he will only master his movies for the cinema - home setups are too inferior. Nolan, my dude, I saw your movies in the cinema, and I still couldn’t make out a word of what people were mumbling to each other. Why even bother writing the script in the first place? Most other filmmakers aren’t much better nowadays, and I wish we can get back to the time when people who know what the fuck they’re doing are responsible for sound mastering: One master for the cinema, and another one for those watching at home.

Trick for butter straight from the fridge: use a cheese slicer.

The Americans could’ve changed to the metric system if they could afford it. However, changing a country’s systems of measurement is a mammoth project of enormous complexity and cost, so I guess no politician want to make space for that in the budget when there are other things to take care of.
