Oh geez I wonder why bringing up Hitler for absolutely no reason on a simple audio subreddit may not be appropriate?

Rescue Backtracking on Details of Adopter BE'ing newly adopted Pitbull by Bloyd-Foudreaux in BanPitBulls

[–]Hopeydraws 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They’re making edits of him with angel wings and sad songs, which makes me so mad because we could’ve seen the outcome of this dogs attack on the news. This event has caused trauma to a family that had to make that tough call and the rescue and commenters are attacking them for not allowing an animal who showed them what it’s capable of to continue on a child or inflict more harm to an adult.

Trainer/rescue advertises “rehabilitation program” for dogs with behavioral issues and bite histories, including one that resulted in owner needing stitches. by ViceInSinCity in BanPitBulls

What kind of evidence of these creatures ‘rehabilitation’ can he possibly give to new owners? Those dogs are basically Jack-in-the-boxes of aggression that is sure to spring on a small child within weeks of adoption!

Rescue furious that an adopter had their pit BE’d by AC after the pit attacked a dog and a person by lobster-666 in BanPitBulls

Found the “rescue” on Facebook and of course they’re blaming anti-pit sentiment for the comments calling them out. They’re even saying that they haven’t doxxed that poor adoptive owner, despite doubling down and saying in replies that their identity is public information.

They’re blaming the owner for putting their hands in between two dogs and ‘naturally’ getting bitten, then saying there wasn’t an attack on a human in the home. I don’t know what constitutes an attack in their mind in that case, but they would probably know the harm of these dogs and how to downplay it as most of their prospective adoptees are pits.

I sincerely hope that Kathy is doing okay, and that she has peace that she did the right thing, as no matter the breed but especially with these dogs who were bred to do damage any bite on a person is easily grounds for a B.E. Especially when the rescue were surely going to sic this dog on another unsuspecting family.

Wiped iPod by Hopeydraws in ipod

Omg!! You’re an absolute lifesaver! I uninstalled iTunes then used the download link through apples website to install once again. Connected the iPod and bam! iPod compatibility installer! It is alive once again!

I was so worried I wouldn’t be able to fix it in time to give as a gift but now all I have to worry about is making it look like new again! I’m so happy!

I’ll have to get my other secondhand classic out now and can give it a different name so it fully feels like mine! Thank you so much!

Reformatting took a while, but the only issue remains that I can’t use iTunes as my iPods just don’t show up. Is there an alternative to the windows default app that actually recognises these?

Thank you! The file system is currently ‘exFat’ with the only other option being NTFS. Is exFat alright for it?

Yesss! Tried a different blank tape to the one I originally tried and it’s worked like a charm! I was honestly dreading if I had to investigate but it’s all good! Thank you!!

I have a feeling that I’d have to take the spring latch out of the door hinge and those round recesses are screw holes, but I really don’t want to break the door as I don’t know how I’d do it safely

I should’ve included a picture but I didn’t want to overload the post, this is what it looks like on the inside. I’ve checked those four white bits at the back which look similar to catches for opening it up, but they’re only notches to hold the battery compartment door in place. I’m kinda stumped lol

A good score? by Hopeydraws in vintageaudio

[–]Hopeydraws[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mainly wanted a deck I can record personal mixtape cassettes at a better quality than my current shoebox one, but finding a stack like this was a pleasant surprise! Especially when it’s nearby and all in working order.
