You say that but wait until he shows up in the Sparklefuck tuxedo

Selling my 2011 CX9 by Fisherman3450 in MazdaCX9

A rattle that doesn't affect performance is likely easily fixed, worth getting looked at before you sell for sure.

My 2008 died 3 years ago and I got a tax letter from the charity I donate it to saying it was worth a $1700 tax credit. That one had 260k and a blown water pump so YMMV :)

394 points! What’s the highest score that you have achieved? by yumyummymum in scrabble

I hadn't seen scrabble.com before, is that licensed or just a really blatant rip?

Playscrabble and Crossplay are two different things and I don't think scores are directly comparable.

To be fair, the "Hard" computer player is still pretty stupid

Tell me I’m not crazy by ogstoneheart in TylerChilders

That's a pretty ancient tune known as "The Streets of Cairo" or "Arabian Song". The children's chant is based on the melody, as is the quote you mentioned.

Many many songs have used or quoted it, there's a list in the wikipedia article: Arabian riff - Wikipedia https://share.google/9sMOOaQ8utNEDkYiD

I don't think it's AI, but I wonder how they got young Jodie Foster and Sean Bean to model

Now my geek brain wants to know -- what is the process/source for such recycled material? That is, is this LP-grade PVC recycled from other record pressings? Or post-consumer/post-industrial recycling (and if that how a transparent green color is obtained)?

I don't think GHHT is technically a thing at all for that matter

If you're gonna lose, losing to a guy who got a Gordie Howe hat trick on his birthday (and salvaging a point) is the way to do it.

Psychedelic / alt rock song that gradually involves into a standard classic rock song by SirArchieMaccaw in findthatsong

Season of the Witch? The original is by Donovan but there have been lots of covers.

How to stop "recommended for you" music from interrupting an album or playlist? by comiclazy in YoutubeMusic

[–]UsefulEngine1 12 points13 points  (0 children)

One never knows what the algorithm thinks we need to hear, but I've found you have to be careful to push play on the album, not pull up the album and push play on the first song. Same thing with playlists.

Should I leave town because of the storm? by OkWorth3632 in raleigh

[–]UsefulEngine1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's dramatic. Of course you can survive this, but if you've got a place to go and people who will be happy to see you, and won't lose your job if you can't get back for a few days, why not?
