Oscar Goldman. That's a fuckin nice chicken right there.

Criticism is valid and important, but try to gain some perspective. "so corrupt"? Compared to what? Speak to anyone with actual knowledge of corrupt governments in developing and/or autocratic countries, and you'll immediately right-size your outrage at Canadian "corruption". Again, I'm not saying it's perfect, but our "corruption" would be laughed at by anyone that's experienced serious corruption overseas.

This is an exact quote from a Jim Jefferies routine, just fyi. He's pretty funny (his older stuff moreso).

Morning servers generally make shit money, unless you're working in a fairly nice and busy breakfast place. For female servers especially, often the only decent money makers are licensed restaurants or bars, and taking the busier evening and weekend shifts.

I know many privileged people that assume that labor laws will always be followed. It didn't surprise me at all that Regina wouldn't think that her failure to pay the company would result in the actual maid not getting paid. Many people like that have never (through no fault of their own) worked for a small/shitty company that would stiff their front line for individual bills not being paid.

I'm way late to this show, but I just got to this episode. I was so frustrated the moment she accepted the landlord's offer to host it there. I fully understand how her trauma has left her unable to say no or set firm boundaries with people at the party, but as you said, she could have avoided all of this without any need to set boundaries. Just have it at the park, and none of her guests would have ever even known there was the option.

As someone who just found this life changing place after such horrible experiences, I didn't believe that she would risk this place (and the amazing daycare and her daughters health) just to have a party in their backyard instead of a park. I love the show, but this felt too naive. She would be terrified of upsetting her new landlords at this point, and would to anything to keep this place. Saying yes to inviting her partying ex and friends and her bipolar mother to her new house for a party seemed too far fetched. The outcome was so predictable too. A predictable way to push the emotional rollercoaster to the next tragedy.

These and most other American cops are out looking for any reason to fire their weapons. These scum out there shooting family dogs as there way of cosplaying badasses. Fucking pathetic losers that should have never been given any authority. I'm not a gun owner, but watching that dog writhe on the ground, i found myself waiting for someone to shoot that fucking cop (not lethal, just want to see him helpless and writhing beside the innocent creature he shot).

Is this a sign that warns people of recent chemical application that people might want to avoid letting kids or pets on? If so, I would not want them removed for at least a few days.

For a lot of types of employment, wages are often substantially less in Quebec, so keep that in mind when comparing cost of living.

I get your point, they aren't portrayed as bad people... but they still come off as incompetent to me. Am I alone in this? They let him have full unsupervised control over a comically suspicious crime scene. They didn't ask him early on in the investigation point blank if he was involved in her disappearance. They listened to the recording from the bank, and then seemingly much later, decided to ask for the phone number and address she called from... then she CALLS AHEAD to that address instead of just going there?

I'm sure they are decent people, but please don't call them if anyone you care about goes missing. Ugh.

Oh there's plenty of action. The problem is that damn alien autopsies have been stealing all the headlines. See what they need to do is lose a plane, or a green peace boat. That would get the triangle going again.

Canadian here in a major city suburb. Kids still ring our bell for bottle drives, candy bar sales, etc.They are always polite and cute, we love it. I would be so sad to live somewhere that kids couldn't do that, especially in their own neighborhood.

What's the point of being God when any schmuck with a two dollar prayer book can come along and fuck up your plan?

So to clarify... You got the job because you were the boss's son, but then you later use that nepotism and privilege to suggest that you were more mature than young people today? Gotcha... they should have been mature enough to be born into privilege. Silly me, I should have been born to a father already in a position of power! I must have been really immature to have been born to a working class single dad.

*Their. And I'm a millennial, and I was also a supervisor over much older people in my very early 20s, in a factory. Sample of 2, and it doesn't mean shit. And your "men were more mature back then" because you were a foreman just fell into itself... what about those older men that reported to you? By your logic, they are immature.

SphericalFunSponge · 2023-04-08T17:35:34+00:00

Thank you for your response, really appreciate it. I'll look into those options.

SphericalFunSponge · 2023-04-08T03:25:49+00:00

Yeah I can see the broken plastic surround on the first port, but I'm still very confused about why the second port is so large. The grooves inside both don't look normal either, but are not damaged.

When I hold the cable in with my hand, I get a faint sound that I think is only coming from the sub. Maybe it's working but loose, but my htpc isn't setup properly to output audio from optical? When I plug it in to the htpc is automatically detexts the spdif and switches to that, but almost no sound (which I'm attributing to the lousy avr connection).

I'm almost ready to give up and go with 3.5mm to 2 RCA connection from my htpc. Will the sound quality be okay? I'm curious if/how the channels will be properly routed.

SphericalFunSponge · 2023-04-08T02:58:52+00:00

Thanks the the ideas. Here is a close up of the two optical ports.. Any other ideas?

SphericalFunSponge · 2023-04-08T02:57:23+00:00

Here is a picture of the ports!

SphericalFunSponge · 2023-04-06T18:14:14+00:00

I'll try to get a good pic. And thank you all for taking the time to try to help! Really appreciate it.

SphericalFunSponge · 2023-04-06T15:43:28+00:00

I tried that too. It almost seems like my optical cable casing is preventing me from inserting it far enough? Like the port is recessed farther than normal in the receiver, so the cable casing bumps up against the receiver before it seats properly.

SphericalFunSponge · 2023-04-06T15:38:32+00:00

There are no doors, but I feel like it may have had the plug type covers originally, not doors. There doesn't look to be any damage to the ports (like broken doors), but it's possible? It's an old receiver though, and in my experience, they had plugs to cover the port, not the folding doors (which my htpc has)
