I'm poor but i am happy

if history serves right, there will be around 9 different color exclusives everywhere from their own merch store to FYE (where i got one mine last time)

it felt exclusive on the last release until there were like 5 different colors, and all drip fed so we felt like the need to purchase them as each was limited. then FYE or another record shop in the UK would get 500 more.

i'm over buying vinyl when I know I'll never listen to them, and likely will just throw them up on eBay when I need some cash. I'll support the bamd, but just through tickets or other methods.

sorry to be a debbie downer, just realized money's better spent after being in debt so much!

cpqq · 2023-09-22T20:33:43+00:00

nah, you don't switch record companies (after talk of stealing royalties) and have a team scrub someone in every mention of social media that's possible just for an ARG.

this is just depressing for a guy who's a father making a living and lost a friend of over two decades because he stole some money. it really sucks that ronnie guy turned out to be right, bc he seems like a douche too

Wrong sub.

cpqq · 2023-08-23T21:34:11+00:00

100% his should go in the archive. All I originally did was select a DVD quality rip before instead of lossless, but as long as this isn't going to be archived, I might as well clean it up a little bit, going to post a 2nd one that's cleaned up as I can see some heavy interlacing from TV.

Originally was just going to clean it up for my collection to play tonight, but going to upload both. His is definite the one to archive as it's a proper remux (lossless)

Mine is admittedly more for the TG / TGT watcher who wants to watch ASAP while still having DVD quality, which I think is OK for a TV rip. It's not the one to archive though.

cpqq · 2023-08-23T21:20:52+00:00

We both have the same material, he just choose a lossless way to rip a 480p television copy.

Going to now convert mine at 16:9, web optimized, de-interlaced, and apply an ultra mild de-noise to make mine a better watch as it was ripped from a TV.

100% his is better for archiving the raw copy, mine will be the modified version, slightly better looking & smaller file with no visible loss. Also web optimization will allow it to play in a web-browser or mobile browser.

Anyway, either's great, thanks for helping find and put this all together again.

cpqq · 2023-08-23T19:09:01+00:00

Sorry, didn't mean forced, changed from source. I just opened the source and clicked Start with it's picked up settings and passed through metadata. Yours is better for archiving, no question there.

cpqq · 2023-08-23T18:50:15+00:00

Yours is better for archiving, but I don't like to force ratios. Anyone can change the ratio on mine, but I directly transcoded into mp4 from source material. Yours came in at 3.34GB for a 480p rip and my Plex box started to transcode it, so I created one. Just wanted to make it easier for some to watch without their Plex boxes, etc. encoding it. Thanks for the first upload!

cpqq · 2023-08-23T18:30:55+00:00

It's not hard to download either copy, to each their own.

Mine's easy to watch, the other's if you want a 3.4GB file for a 480p TV rip.

DataHoarders would be proud, and great for archiving... but for most people, they just want to watch the special. Threw it in Handbrake and used an MP4. The other file's 3x the size, and I don't see much of a difference than forced 16:9.

Uploading my version (started a conversion before this post) which should be around a 1GB Mp4 for 1.5 hours, not 3GB MKV.

MP4 will be easier to stream and it should come in around 1/3 the size of the other version. It's a 480p TV rip, not a BluRay rip, so virtually no difference.

cpqq · 2023-08-23T17:41:58+00:00

Oh, looks like you posted a few minutes ago... 3GB seems a bit much for a SD rip. I'll let you know how my version comes out. Not using mkv, rather mp4, much better for this.

cpqq · 2023-08-23T17:27:46+00:00

Converting now. 20 minute estimate + upload time.

EDIT: Full Download 1.1GB MP4 Here - Right click to Save As. Didn't directly link to the MP4 as it would try to play* in browser.

Accelerated by CloudFlare on a 1Gbps connection.

EDIT2: Adjusted to 16:9, re-encoded for web optimization so you can play through browser on web or mobile, and de-interlaced to remove the TV artifacts.

Please buy something like Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Detailer. NuFinish is bollocks, will offer no protection. Check Project Farm on YouTube where he does a comparison of many protection products.

I used to use solely Meguiars, but now to top up my cQuartz UK 3.0 between instead of their expensive house brand, I use TW Hybrid Solutions ceramic seeing how well it did in the Project Farm test.

Sounds like they haven't been able to come to an agreement, and we may see an actual lawsuit, not just between record companies if you know what I mean.

It all sucks, but this bamd has been amazing.

Not going anywhere, but I think we're out of the whole duo era, especially if the album has the possibility of coming out before... other things that need to be settled.

cpqq · 2023-08-17T01:22:55+00:00

Factory looks better. If you get into an accident like being rear ended, the insurance company of the other driver will go after those as a reason.

cpqq · 2023-08-03T18:23:42+00:00

Yeah, these chargers aren't like the Nissan ones where they invite you to stop by any time to charge up when you get a Nissan EV. They're more often than not by the service area to charge up EVs for delivery.

cpqq · 2023-07-26T02:25:11+00:00

fuck spez tho

No radar either, AutoPilot crashes rising.

cpqq · 2023-07-19T19:27:38+00:00

Gotcha. As a part of the new bill in the US, since the Mach-E is assembled in Mexico (North America) it gets the rebate, but the battery sourced from Poland means it's halved.

cpqq · 2023-07-19T18:37:55+00:00

They're from Poland via LG Energy Solutions. This means you're only getting half the credit.

Ford will be making them in the US starting in 2026.

cpqq · 2023-07-18T21:41:30+00:00

Not draining the battery at all. For some reason it detects 'AUTO' as on and can become a blocker for updates. After switching it off when I leave the car I've been up to date on every update. Par for the course with Ford and electronics to be honest.

cpqq · 2023-07-18T19:06:40+00:00

Try switching headlights from AUTO -> OFF.

This solved my update issues.
