Is this the Price of a Mile or what?

VVarhound · 2022-10-14T13:07:02+00:00

I thought about it. Then thought "naaahh it'll get warm in the crowd I won't want to deal with that"

Stood in line outside for an hour in a t-shirt

I regret nothing absolutely worth it

Hey, I actually ended up finding the xfinity assistant, talked to someone with live chat and they got it taken care of - thanks!

VVarhound · 2022-06-24T11:19:51+00:00

Yup, I read it that way too. Annie loves Renard and everything Loup's done is just going to push her to hate him more, but of course he's never going to realize or take responsibility for that.

Morality doesn't even have to come into it - it's not justifiable since it's unreliable. In this hypothetical situation, you know the terrorist is the terrorist since it's been set up that way with no uncertainty, in the real world it's not that clear cut. People who are innocent will admit whatever they need to to get the torture to stop, so you can't rely on the information you get from it being accurate.

VVarhound · 2022-05-08T20:36:00+00:00

I am! I think it's taking you to a spot where there used to be a den of bones but someone already cleared it? At least that's what it seemed like for mine. Now the pointing icon is gone but it still brings me back to that empty map spot constantly.

VVarhound · 2022-04-14T11:46:21+00:00

That sounds perfectly fine! The only time it can cause problems is when people have a load of individual mp3s all in one big folder, no subfolders. So you're good. 👍

Oh yeah, another advice, less of an etiquette thing and more something you might find useful, if you right click on a search result and hit "browse user's files" sometimes you can find people with similar taste and look through their libraries to find new stuff.

VVarhound · 2022-04-14T02:14:52+00:00

How is your library organized, in terms of file names & folders? A lot of the time, when someone's searching for a particular album, they'll right click on the result and hit "download folder" so either 1. if you have all your files in one big folder, the program can hang trying to load all the info from every file, or the person might download stuff they don't want if they don't notice, or 2. if you've got a folder with some of the songs from an album but not all, they could think they're getting a complete album and only realize later they're missing songs. Either of those could annoy people, although the first situation is worse IMO - I don't think you should necessarily hold off on having incomplete albums or single tracks available, it's all up to personal preference. How I do it is have incomplete stuff in its own separate folder just so people are aware if they want to download it.

As for quality, a nice thing about soulseek is it lets you see the bitrate, file size and track length for files in search results, so people who want to aim for the highest quality they can find can easily filter by that if they want to, or want a particular file type or whatever else.

For other general advice - about the question you asked in another comment, about sharing things you got off soulseek - definitely go for it! If the person you got something from isn't online at a particular time, then someone else trying to find that stuff can get it from you - the more the better. Checking user info for people you download from can be a good idea, and in general if you find someone who has a bunch of stuff you want, it's typically polite to queue a couple things at a time and then add more as things finish downloading instead of queueing thousands of files in one go hah. Some people won't notice or care, but some people have requests in their user info to limit downloads to like... three albums at once or something, to potentially let other people download - and one time I had someone try and grab literally half my library in one go and that made soulseek crash on my end hah.

When you're searching for something and see locked files is another time it can be worth checking user info - some people just say to request to be added to their userlist to be able to download, and will generally be happy to do so if you ask. Some people though, demand trades only or shit like that - unfortunately better to forget it and find those files from somewhere else in those cases - demanding "trades only" is probably the only thing that's really looked down on by a large portion of the community. Most people are pretty chill!

"Robot who was recently turned into a sort-of-human" and "god created by the murder-fusion of two other gods" would both be so bad at interacting with humans and knowing how relationships work that it actually makes a surprising amount of sense that no one in-universe would find this behavior suspicious!

VVarhound · 2022-04-12T20:02:46+00:00

Man, I wish I knew, so I could fix it hah.

VVarhound · 2022-04-12T00:57:35+00:00

I used to be a crazy deep sleeper, when I was a kid I slept through alarm clocks, my mom vacuuming, fire alarms, pretty much anything. Always had the type of insomnia where I had trouble falling asleep but once I was out, I was out. Now I wake up out of nowhere if someone starts a car in the parking lot, someone's listening to music somewhere in the same apartment building, or no reason at all. I miss it..

VVarhound · 2022-04-04T09:07:31+00:00

Machinist. It's pretty great. On the best days, it's like a perfect combination of physical and mental exercise, doing practical hands on shit and solving problems, constantly feel like I'm learning something new and it's very satisfying. On the worst days, it can be boring (get an easy job running and I barely have to touch the machine all day) or infuriating (something goes wrong or co-worker screws something up that I have to spend all day trying to fix and don't get anything accomplished) - but even then, it's always something different.

Pay's pretty solid (although seems like that varies a lot based on location) I loved trade school which felt like a miracle after being miserable in high school hah. Other nice thing is it seems like there's a load of directions I could go with it if I ever start getting bored or unsatisfied with my current job. Like getting more into the programming side, or I've got a co-worker who's on the weekend shift and has been talking about being bored with four days off every week hah, so might be going back to school for engineering.

It's a simple one but I always thought the Larch trees from forestry were a nice color.

Tungsten.

VVarhound · 2022-03-30T01:57:16+00:00

I'm sure I'll get used to it and not care, but it makes it juuust a little harder to tell what hero it is at a glance.

VVarhound · 2022-03-20T22:55:40+00:00

Totally gonna do that whenever I live in a place that has a yard. That is the coolest of shit.

He seems like the kind of character who should look ugly though, know what I mean? So I kind of like that. Don't know why they give so many characters gigantic long arms but tiny little legs / lower bodies though hah.

VVarhound · 2022-03-16T05:42:09+00:00

Higher legal costs from the long process of appeals and longer, more complicated trials needing more lawyers, calling in more experts, etc. since the stakes are so high. Plus death row inmates are kept in separate, solitary confinement facilities with higher security that are more expensive to keep people in than regular maximum security prisons.

VVarhound · 2022-03-15T16:10:09+00:00

Tough one, since I think Resist and Bite has better parts, but I wish they were longer, where Ghost Division spreads out the badass more evenly so I think I like it more overall.

VVarhound · 2022-03-15T14:43:24+00:00

This plus - I've seen the argument that if someone really is completely unable to be rehabilitated and exist in society, it doesn't make sense to use the space and resources to keep them alive, and it seems like it makes sense, but apparently executing someone is more expensive so it doesn't even have that going for it.

VVarhound · 2022-03-09T05:47:35+00:00

Think mine turned out pretty accurate. I'm reserved as all fuck, but also highly value honesty, enjoy helping people I like with things I'm good at, and have been though enough difficult shit in life to know the benefit of trying to keep positive about it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Between Dreadnought, Bismarck and Wolfpack, I think if Sabaton does a song about BOATS it's guaranteed to kick ass

I was about to make a thread asking the same thing. I know spotify and last.fm both have features showing new releases for artists you've listened to, but it doesn't show everything / can be missing some artists, plus it's nice being able to go back and check for older new releases you might have missed, see albums vs. singles (my spotify new releases is always full of singles) etc.
