- Comment on is micromanaging in classical music much worse than in other jobs? 6 hours ago:
When I was in high school band, it didn’t feel like this. It felt like you were trying your best to become a part of the bigger sound. You really don’t want to stand out or “express yourself” as much because it was about the song, not the players at that point. Whenever I was corrected or told I needed to practice a section, it came across as duty more than personal reflection.
I also did marching band and the same rules apply. You want to blend in with the field. No one player really gets a spotlight of their own.

Ah, I guess I was taking for graced that 4k was one of my requirements. Hadn’t even thought to mention it.

The challenge is finding a model that lets you rip them. To my awareness, there isn’t any officially supported method to rip BluRays and you have to modify the firmware to let you backup your own media.

Back in 2015 or so, I noticed some of the movies on Netflix that I wanted to rewatch disappeared. I caught on pretty early that this was going to be the case where all the good stuff cycles out, so I took to building a Blu-Ray collection. Now all of my favorites are quick and easy to get to.
At some point I’m planning on digitizing the whole collection because I know discs degrade, but I’ve been hesitant because I don’t want to cook my drive’s laser in the process.

- Comment on Spotify adds lossless streaming after 8 years of teasing 4 weeks ago:
There is a catch, however. Spotify’s lossless option tops out at 24-bit / 44.1 kHz FLAC. Apple Music, Tidal, and Qobuz all offer HiRes FLAC support at up to 24-bit / 192 kHz. Granted, once you start entering 24-bit FLAC territory it can get pretty hard to tell the difference unless you’re a particularly demanding audiophile with a soundsystem priced in the same range as a used sedan.
I was about the point of the pedantry in the chest half, but they covered themselves. Anyone who says they can hear this difference is fooling themselves.
- Comment on For people who relocated: when did you realize you want to live in the new place long-term & why? 4 weeks ago:
When my previous relationship ended, it just instantly called to me. Knowing that I suddenly didn’t have anyone keeping me where I was, it wasn’t even a day before I knew I wanted to move.
I spent 3 years saving and preparing and making sure it was the right place to go, but never doubted it for a second. Made the right move, too. Happier and more confident than I’ve ever been before.

Orochi in Okami. You spend the first entire third of the game building up to your first fight with him and by the time you’re fighting him, you have an incredible amount of context for how legendary your battle actually is.
Many of the boss battles in that game had amazing lead-up.

Well shoot. Why wasn’t this the case from the start? I’ve only ever had troubles with payments a few times in the 10 years I’ve been renting. Good thing none of that counts for anything and the clock is just now starting.

The fact that you’re not already down this hole is a good indicator that voice is already doing its job. Just keep listening to it.

So does LibreOffice, but they’ve been called out multiple times for purposefully making the format overly complex to make it as hard as possible to reliable read and write to it.
- Comment on RoadCraft's first expansion adds a bridge layer, two new maps, and the option to make your life much tougher 4 weeks ago:
I’ve been getting a lot out of this game. They’ve done a great job with this one. The fact that you can just build roads wherever you feel like is just such a great idea for this series. Now whenever I’m really frustrated with a particular road, I can really just go “Fine! I’ll fix it myself!”
- Comment on Age check 4 weeks ago:
Yeah. The whole reason the Amanda Knox series happened is because Monika Lewinsky has been starting this documentary series where she tries to help victims in situations where publicity ruined their image and give them a chance to tell their story.
What a fantastic way to turn an image around.
