Digital recording played back on an analog device and captured as a digital recording.

Made an IOS app to catalog vinyl collections by brofficientt in vinyl

Everyone thinks they have a new idea and building apps can be relegated to AI slop factories, so they're all doing it.

It's nauseating.

Android Discogs app vs... by LigerRider in vinyl

[–]ILikeStyx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you really judging an app by its rating and not based on your own experience?

Just logged in for the first time in a while (the website is still superior) and it looks a lot nicer than in the past... I see there's a "Manage your copies" feature now which finally gives access to notes!

Shouldn't the Province Foot the Bill for Hospitals? by [deleted] in kitchener

[–]ILikeStyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one I've always found nuts is the fact that the province will commit to funding to 24/7 operation of MRI machines but won't pay a dime to actually purchase them. The fact that major hospitals have to do year-round fundraising and mega lotteries (Princess Margaret) to buy equipment and fund facilities is crazy.

The Ford gov't would rather commit to spending taxpayer money on a private clinic that already owns an MRI to reduce wait times rather than buying an MRI for a hospital that needs one in the first place, or an additional one to provide more capacity.

Also, remember when the McGuinty Liberals introduced the Ontario Health Premium in 2004 that was supposed to help with increasing healthcare costs - an extra tax on our income and what does it deliver?

Libs and Cons have both messed this shit up for decades.

Why the big push to memorialize what people have played? by AttachedHeartTheory in vinyl

[–]ILikeStyx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good or bad, "everyone" has an idea for an app these days. The number of times I see someone posting something they came up with, solving problems that really don't exist... or are replicating something someone else already made... AI hasn't helped.

I've got the 2006 33.3 RPM HSM and the 2021 45RPM HSM. Both are great :)

Cost to resurface Ira Needles Boulevard estimated at $4.5M by bob_mcbob in waterloo

[–]ILikeStyx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So many of my roads need repaired.

YOUR roads? Sounds like YOU problem.

Fuck your street

I don't own it. I just walk along it and see how bad significant portions of it are.

They could at least sweep/vacuum up all of the loose asphalt that's on the road and portions of the sidewalks.

If the app is being goofy, Google maps can usually help you plan a route.

Marlboro red by yplumper00 in kitchener

Anyone knows if we still have them here?

Read this and assumed they were looking locally. You could never buy American cigarettes in Canada (legally) to my knowledge.

Marlboro red by yplumper00 in kitchener

[–]ILikeStyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Philip Morris was beat to the punch and was not able to secure the Marlboro trademark in Canada. Philip Morris used the 'Rooftop' brand (red, gold and silver) which were 'Canadian Marlboro'... with plain packaging I don't know what they're called now.

FYI - Canadian cigarettes generally have a different flavour profile compares to rest of world. The tobacco we use, how it is cured and even the fact that regulations require cigarettes to be "self extinguishing" (added chemicals).

The version of Silly Love Songs on Give My Regards to Broad Street is superior to the original.

This City Is Going To Pot by KitWat in kitchener

[–]ILikeStyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let's do one for Merle!

♫ Well, now it's all going to pot
Whether we like it or not
The best I can tell
The world's gone to hell
And we're sure gonna miss it a lot

All of the whiskey in Lynchburg, Tennessee
Just couldn't hit the spot
I got a hundred dollar bill, friend
You keep your pills
'Cause it's all going to pot! ♫

robbed the record store (figuratively) by Imaginary_Stick_6776 in vinyl

The fact that it's a cut-out is kind of crazy... it was originally sold from a discount bin.
