@Taverius does cable run underground in Venice? If it does, strikes me that they'd have a better excuse than most other places for internet problems.

@JustAnotherRando Some does I'm sure, it also runs beside the houses etc. Its just all old copper so regardless you can imagine how well its doing in the sea air.

And with the population down to 20% of what it was, not much incentive to bring fiber to somewhere so difficult.

I'm happy to know that you upgraded the internet, although... it doesn't seem any better here.

@Poleepkwa That's why I posted this, haha. Might as well milk it for all it's worth :P

@Lyer25 many streamers and youtubers play both so I've seen quite a lot of it. Like a whooooole lot.

If I didn't play either I might be tempted but I'm already invested 1k+ hr into warframe, and there's not really enough time in a week to play both.

Ah, better stick with what's already near to the heart then (same with audio gear? haha). My girlfriend occasionally streams games and has a lot of hours into Overwatch so I've certainly seen enough of the game to know I'd enjoy it were I any good with FPS. She's on For Honor now though, impressions pending.

I can move around, just that I've developed a hacking cough that doubles me over if I bend my body in such a way that stresses out the itchy bits.

Not the worst I've felt so I'm in good enough humour, but I honestly can't breathe through my nose just now.

If that cough is in your chest and it's that bad and if you feel really bad you may want to check in with a doc and make sure you don't have pneumonia or something.

@DigMe Sorry, kinda forgot to reply. Feeling better, though sinuses are still flooded and there's an irritating itch somewhere behind where my collarbones meet. Blargh.

@Stride There's a SoX upsampler plugin.

@Lyer25 Different volume means one of them isn't bit-perfect. You need WDM/WASAPI or ASIO output selected in FB2K.

@famish99 And here I am running everything out of my computer, a laptop no less. Something tells me that's the bottleneck, haha.

@Stride Have SoX and SSRC installed, tinkered with em a few months ago and found both pretty eh

@bengo Huh, odd. A+ trial expired so will have to make sure to be careful with JRMC; running f2k with no plugins atm, it's... same old same old.

Yeah I checked my settings and as of JRMC 24, SoX was not enabled by default so I think my setup between JRMC and foobar2k is as close as I can get.

Now when i walk around at night I get super paranoid that someone is going to materialize behind me and stab me to death.

Loved it. The only film after the original worthy of the Halloween name.

@Collusion @Merrick: hell yeah, this was surprisingly enjoyable! I didn't expect to like this nearly as much but I'd happily watch this again, which is more than H20 gets.

@scapeinator1 ooooooor go full Kane and chokeslam you! :p

spoopy

I know I was hoping for MCR to make a comeback but this....

HD650 sounds narrow, super warm and fuzzy on a phone. How can you not notice a difference with a good amp? Got potatoes in your ears? I hate misleading posts ...

@kixx I think it's a matter of expectancy skewing perception, training, and how much mucus is in the ears. There have been times when I couldn't tell the studio recording of one song from the live version, even back to back. Those are definitely off days, haha.

When the headache hits, combined with a nasty cold and bad weather .... yeah, off day. More like offline for me haha.

I know I've heard that somewhere before, but I can't put my finger on it.

Probably forgot to save my work then. Damn it!

Mole problems?

(another ancient Unix Fortune Cookie)

Unix Fortune Cookies made me aware of The Profit by Kehlog Albran. It was the one about fate

@zonto Eh. Taking a bit of a break from other responsibilities so might as well keep myself entertained in a semi-useful manner :P

Old IF was great :(

Agreed (and was just giving you a hard time). Definitely miss Tyll, and hope he's happy putting around.

Oh nah, I got that. Rare instance of my detecting ribbing via text, haha. Obrigado :))

Putting around. I see what you did there.

@DigMe extremely so at times. Haha.

Then it seems like it would be hard to get a lot of static buildup in such humidity.

@DigMe that's part of why I'm so concerned, yeah :))

Why are you so sure I won't?

Alek will definitely say this in real life then go Khabib on you or drink a beer with you depending on how seriously you take yourself.

Sure. I would ask him to have a go at it. Then ask him if he had his share, and move on. Hating on people isn't a priority in life.

Thee sjwness? I'll check it out. I find myself rewatching mha episodes over and over again. It's just that good

The film came out in 1980, so yeah, not necessarily for the Tumblr generation.

BokuAca is brilliant, really. I've read the manga and re-watched epsiodes too, never seem to get tired of it! They got the balance of western comics and good ol shonen just right, which is impressive.

I remember. We did that in artschool - I sucked.

Calligraphy is a great hobby because it requires one to calm the hell down and clear their mind otherwise what comes out looks like chicken spasms, haha. I kinda envy that you had mandatory classes, the most I got was basic cursive penmanship in primary. Never too late to pick it back up and try for better if it so suits you though!

So as to not spam the main body of profile posts, commenting here: holy fucksticks that was fast (referring to the guy who apparently missed the huge banner up top).

Has that guy been disappeared-without-trace? I can't even remember the dude's name, or I'd search. Except... life is too short. Even when one has nothing better to do.

@Thad E Ginathom Yup, pretty sure the dude (ahem) was given a vacation on a farm upstate. Eh, drama is fun to watch but there are other things better worth one's time.

Like using longer headphone cables and dancing around your room to louder-than usual music.

@Kunlun was left with just 8 lives after that.

@Thad E Ginathom naw, I had a legendary sword...
But, if I'm being honest, the relationship ended when she needed to slither into a burrow with 50 snakes for winter hibernation.

Sounds like a messy relationship

very cool...thanks!

Oh and you need to enable Flash to get this page to work. Bit of a pain.

Pitch perception is on of many listening tests on this site:

https://www.audiocheck.net/blindtests_index.php

Beware. Do not go there unless you have at least a couple of hours!

@Thad E Ginathom I totally missed this on audio check! Will go play with that eventually, haha

@brencho the man is a national treasure.

I see what you did there

HAH, just finished a ~6 hour horror movie marathon. My sense of humour is shot to hell

Yep, China does that stuff on a huge scale. So, I suppose, does facebook!

And that recognition technology is built into my camera and probably many others.

Don’t fool yourself. This goes on in the States. How long did it take authorities to catch the Boston Marathon bombers? And Camera Edge analytics is just in its infancy, wait a couple of years and you’ll be surprised how ubiquitous it will be, even in small retailers.

@spwath Black Mirror is scary because of how plausible some of the events there are. This fits

@Thad E Ginathom Yup! I'm surprised how far along facial recognition has gotten— Facebook and Google are able to pick out and identify even background faces with alarming accuracy.

@Vansen Oh I don't doubt that. What I find alarming is how brazen and blasé China is and how indifferent the world at large seems to be
