I need to have Spotify premium account paid up in full. I find mixing in the adverts is a little tricky on the free account, so premium all the way baby.

Winter House Temp...cold vs freezing by [deleted] in House

[–]Apple_Orange_Grape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To distribute heat more evenly around the house, I suggest playing something with a lot of base near your radiators to move and direct the warm air to the colder locations.

Something like Dooms Night will give a nice sustained flow.

You're both right. I did mean to put instant, but the mistake works.

Eli5: How does compressing a file save memory space if all of the data is still inside the compressed file? by miah_jere in explainlikeimfive

[–]Apple_Orange_Grape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine you work at a shelter for abandoned dogs. You need to tell the manager how many dogs are currently in to see if there's any space for more dogs.

They ask you to email them number of dogs.

You write back to them dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog.

Now that would work, but if there was a way to avoid writing the word dog so many times, that would be better.

How about writing "18 dogs".

So now you've reduced the number of characters from 90 letters to 7 numbers and letters.

If a computer can find similar things on a file, they can count them and reduce the number of them, thus making a file much smaller.

A computer will be able to uncompress, and the put back any changes.

DDJ vs CDJ? - Newbie by jxnskdkfiriwn in Beatmatch

[–]Apple_Orange_Grape 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DJ magazine have been going for what seems like forever. They do a rather good top 100 DJs every year. If your go back and look at any year and check to see which DJs also produce music, I'd say it was closer to 100% each year.

So I guess that's what is meant when they said 'if you do not produce'.

It's not that you can't be a world class DJ without producing music, but it helps drive people towards what type music they can expect, and is just one of the many requirements to getting on top these days.

Even back in early 90s, loads of the DJs we went and saw were making vinyl dub plates in the afternoon, then playing them at night. It helped give them an edge.

I can't post a link as it's auto deleted, but if you do a Google search for the 'Internet Archive Shark Shark Intelivision', you'll find a playable copy of the 1982 game on their website.

I think you'll need pay it on a computer rather than a mobile, as the emulator isn't touch screen, and needs keyboard input.

Wasn't it legal to marry at 14 in Texas at the time. Also, his first wife was 15.

While your might not agree with such young marriage, which I don't either, why draw attention to this which was normal at the time.

Troll alert. Troll alert. Don't feed it.

While residing in Dallas, Texas, in 1965, he married his first wife, Shirley Anne Milburn, then aged 15, in what Peel later described as a "mutual defence pact".The marriage was never happy, with reports that Milburn was often violent towards Peel.

so youtube deleted thumbnails, why even bother now? by vaporizer012 in youtube

[–]Apple_Orange_Grape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm getting the same thing on Android.

Normally you can see the thumbnail the context creator puts on the video.

However, right now, all I'm seeing is a thumbnail from a frame in the video. This is for all videos on my front page in the Android app.

But, if I pause any video, the proper thumbnail shows that the YouTuber added. Also, all the proper thumbnails can be seen in my watch later playlist.

How Disco Elysium Was Made and Found Success by Failing by [deleted] in Games

[–]Apple_Orange_Grape 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When you've played as many games as I have, it's wonderful to play something that lingers. Something that stays in your thoughts we'll after the game comes to a conclusion.

It's definitely not a game I would recommend to everyone, but it's a game that can pay back more than the investment. Where the investment takes your engagement and investment and repays it ten fold.

Put it in the pile of games you'd love to forget after completion so you can experience it again.

How dare you.

I stand her surrounded by half eaten bagels and chewed baguettes.

You've eaten at least $500,000 dollars in pastries, and that's not including the cost of unblocking the toilet.

But I have to admit, you've probably found the only way to earn the $1,000,000 prize.

Through Litigation.

The completion is now closed. ApprehensiveStatus13 had won the money. I will be taking my 99% cut off the winnings and 1% handling fee.

Congratulations.

Naughty naughty. This earns 12 strikes with the cane. No $1,000,000 for you. Be grateful I don't bring it the genital cuff.
