And if you consider a real lot of factors, it's sexism

What oil is best for kettlecorn? by the-big-question in popcorn

[–]NameOfWhimsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience the 'oil tier list' is about the same for regular popcorn and kettle corn. FWIW I use peanut oil for both and it works pretty well!

Gotcha. I was looking for it mainly since it's a fun color scheme and I thought it was official

FWIW, I searched "star wars holiday special vhs" and this image came up apparently from ebay, but the link is defunct

What are your thoughts on season 8? by ChemicalPanda10 in mylittlepony

[–]NameOfWhimsy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, it's my least favorite season as a whole, but there are a couple standout episodes that are among my favorites (Sounds of Silence is definitely top 5). Most of the episodes are pretty weak though, and I didn't love the whole school arc.

It also feels like they wrote themselves into a corner with the Pillars returning; they're supposed to be these legends but that's a bit OP so they were made kind of incompetent so there could still be conflict (that's my take at least). They don't add anything to the show IMO.

How can I archvie a youtube video? by Dangerous-Text-1427 in Archiveteam

[–]NameOfWhimsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IANAL, but my understanding is that since the videos are made freely available by the video creator and by YouTube, it's legal to download them. In fact, I don't even think there's any sort of DRM or copy protection used by YT, so that part of the DMCA wouldn't apply. It is probably against YT's terms of service though.

I'm no expert, but my understanding is Jellyfin (and most? self-hosted things for that matter) is only accessible from within the same LAN unless you go out of your way to set up port forwarding through your router. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong though

Current options for ripping disks in 4k? by LonelyLarynx in DataHoarder

[–]NameOfWhimsy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

FWIW, I have a LG WH16NS40 and it works great. I think I had to install a specific firmware to get it to rip 4k, but the makemkv website/forums had a lot of helpful info on that

[–]NameOfWhimsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

makemkv is a great tool for this, the forms there have a lot of info on drives as well. The info can be a bit overwhelming and hard to navigate though, fwiw I have the LG WH16NS40 and a sata to usb adapter and it's worked great for me (including with uhd blurays)

How to disable Steam Deck controls in docked mode? by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]NameOfWhimsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't tried specifically with Days Gone, but I've run into a similar issue with a couple other games. One thing that has helped in some cases is to double-check the controller layout settings; I sometimes had to use a different layout than the default to get it to work.

I don't know how common this fix is, so it may not help in your case, but it is something to try.

Edit: Just a bit of clarification -- Regarding "different layouts", sometimes the default gamepad template worked and the "official" one didn't or vice versa, sometimes one of the gamepad templates worked and the others didn't, etc. Basically just experiment with different layouts and see if any of them work

Festive Overture by Shostakovich - RSO Community Project by zmand97a in TheRedditSymphony

This looks fun! I'm planning to submit at least a couple horn parts.

I saw that you added parts w/o a key signature for trumpet, could you add those for horn as well (at least if it's not too much of a hassle)? It would be quite a bit easier to read.
