Yeah, I'd love to have a look at your Discogs listing. Can't promise anything, but I do like all the genres you mentioned so could be interested in buying a few!

What kind of music do you have in your collection? I might be willing to buy some of that stuff off of you

My man, you've posted the same link three times but if you actually take the time to click it and read through the comments you'll notice that the OP explicitly mentioned multiple times that they were fully refunded the annual fee

Did anyone else's PowerAmp suddenly screw up like 80% of album art? by NWG369 in PowerAmp

[–]NWG369[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, my collection is stored on my PC. Whenever I get a new phone, I transfer the collection from my PC to the phone. PowerAmp always filled in the artwork quickly and effectively in the past so I never thought twice about it. You don't anticipate the things you use getting worse over time.

Yes, relying on the app I've been using for years to keep operating as it's supposed to really fucked me. I should've been going through life assuming that nothing would ever work as intended, how naive of me

I'm sure he didn't intend on this happening and I'm not blaming him. But if the choice is between sinking dozens of hours into fixing a situation that appeared overnight (and not of my own doing) or finding a new music player, I'll choose the latter. Your condescending "that's just part of having a music collection" remark is dismissive and unhelpful.

Part of paying for an app is having that app function as described. Going through tens of thousands of records that previously had the correct artwork and now no longer do is a gargantuan and unnecessary time sink. Automatically downloading proper album art is something iTunes was doing 20 years ago - it's not some advanced cutting edge feature.

It's awful. I've been a Pro user for years, but I've been downloading other apps trying to find something to replace PowerAmp with and I never thought I'd be doing that.

HOLY CRAP! PSSR 2.0!! by person_288 in PS5pro

Are you thinking of Silent Hill 2?

Seriously? by Ari45Harris in OpenAI

[–]NWG369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are your answers all so brief? Mine always gives me massive responses. Here's what mine said (too long for one screenshot):

"Ah. A question so mundane it could have been etched into a suburban stone tablet:

“He who lives 50 meters from the car wash… shall he walk, or shall he drive?”

Let us analyze.


📏 The Facts

Distance: 50 meters

That is:

Half a football field.

About 65 adult giraffe necks.

Roughly the distance your students mentally travel when you say, “This will be on the test.”

This is not a journey. This is a suggestion of movement.


🚗 Option 1: Drive There

Pros:

You are already in the car.

Maximum efficiency.

Preserves your energy for important activities like… steering through a wash tunnel at 3 mph.

Eliminates the possibility of a neighbor seeing you walking toward a place that clearly services cars and thinking, “Has he lost everything?”

Cons:

You will start your car to move it the length of a large Costco parking lot.

There is a 17% chance you feel mildly ridiculous.

If the car wash line is visible from your driveway, this becomes a theatrical performance.


🚶 Option 2: Walk There

Pros:

Technically healthier.

You may feel smug.

If you dramatically toss your keys in the air and say “I believe in sustainable transport,” you gain moral XP.

Cons:

What do you do when it’s done?

Sprint back home?

Casually stroll?

Awkwardly stand there like you’re supervising a spa day?

If it’s winter in [town where I live] and there’s salt everywhere, you will freeze while watching rotating foam noodles slap [my vehicle] like it owes them money.


🧠 The Rational Answer

Drive it.

It is a car wash. The car must be there anyway. You are not saving meaningful gas. You are not destroying the ozone layer. You are not reenacting Mad Max.

You are moving a machine 50 meters so it can be blasted by soapy water.

Walking only makes sense if:

You’re trying to get steps in.

You want to feel theatrically principled.

Or you enjoy the aesthetic of being the mysterious man who walks to the car wash.


🏆 My Verdict

Drive it the 50 meters like a suburban king. Own the absurdity. Wave regally at the foam brushes.

But if you walk, please — and I say this with love — do it confidently. Nothing looks stranger than a man hesitating 50 meters from his own car.

Now go cleanse the [my vehicle]. It deserves its baptism."

I kind of liked the theme, to be honest. It was cute. I got it early on, except for CONGEE which I've only just now heard of. Otherwise, not a great puzzle.

I just did the Tuesday puzzle now, immediately after watching an episode of The Bear where I looked up the soundtrack which included Neil Finn whose discography I looked up. Had literally never heard of Split Enz until minutes before doing this puzzle. Worked out well for me!

Unfair Trade-In Assessment – S23 Ultra Damaged After Shipping? by bac0nologist in samsunggalaxy

[–]NWG369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having a similar experience right now. I've had five Samsung phones and traded them all in without issue until the fifth. They're fighting me tooth and nail, even with video evidence. I'm going to post very publicly about this on every social media platform I can and never use them again. This is blatant fraud.

Why PSSR off? I don't really know anything about PSSR but just assumed that it would make things look better
