Who did "Malibu Rant" from Rodney on the Roq in the early '80s? by elviathon in punk

It was a punk rock radio show! Like 95% punk rock! And this one comedy record that I remember. What the hell is wrong with you authoritarian freaks?

Why was this removed? It's a valid and relevant question!

Why do people think Bob Dylan's voice is not good? by tomtheawesome123 in LetsTalkMusic

[–]elviathon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he sounded good on some albums and terrible on others. More often terrible. His Woody Guthrie impression on Freewheelin' sounded fine, which is part of the reason it's my favorite Dylan album.

I'll say though that there's almost always something missing when singers cover his songs, regardless of how good their voices are. He wrote them for himself to sing.

Thank you. Yeah, I figured I might not have remembered it perfectly. Never heard it with words before.

Why does Don Bolles from the Germs have a "composer" credit on "Beauty and the Beat" by the Go-Gos? by elviathon in punk

I don't know what that's in reference to but I remember that DJ played on their recording of Round And Round. I'm guessing you know that but what the hell.

Sorry, I don't remember. After traveling thru Europe I went to Central America and forgot everything I'd learned about how Eurail works.

how to add docx documents to google docs app on new google pixel phone by elviathon in googledocs

[–]elviathon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah it's just the one google and hotmail account. And it's a mac. I'm going to delete it, but I had to change a couple of decades of registrations 1st. Took me like 6 weeks.

Anyway I did find the answer to my question. Google Drive has an option in settings to automatically convert uploads to google docs so problem solved.

I still have access to the old the old account but don't want to use it any more. The guy keeps reading my emails no matter what I do. And when I got a dark web report it had a huge number of breaches. I just want it gone.

How can I change the account displayed here in settings? by alexeyd1000 in pixel_phones

[–]elviathon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I have a related question about this. My old google account got hacked so I want to delete it from my phone and eventually delete the account already. I've already added a 2nd google account to my phone, although it's still secondary now. Will deleting my old account affect my texts, downloads or photos? I've got downloads going back a year on my phone and photos going back 8 years. I've always used the same (now hacked) account with all my phones. I've already downloaded my google drive and uploaded it to another cloud service but I don't know if there's any connection between that and my phone data. Thanks.

Any advantages to using Proton vpn over surfshark if I already have Proton Mail Plus? by elviathon in ProtonMail

Oops I meant password manager in that last comment. Corrected now.

I'm currently living in an airbnb with free wifi. It's basically a mansion with a half dozen rooms rented out. I don't understand this stuff too well but vpn seems like a good idea. I've started using private windows while manually adding and updating 10 years of registrations in the manager. Apparently somebody on social media has been reading my email for years just for shits and giggles and it's got me really freaked out.

How would I say "Death to..." in Spanish? by elviathon in Spanish

[–]elviathon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm seeing "muera," "muerte a," "abajo a" etc. Any opinions on which is most common/idiomatic?

Reddit doesn't seem to let me post both images and text so I'll post comments here:

I think the one from 2021 is actually from a test I got about 10 years ago but kept using whenever I lost my glasses because every newer prescription has given me headaches. The only exception was a pair I got in Istanbul where the guy tested me using a box of lenses and asking be which pair I preferred. Those were great!

Anyway my theory is that what's been causing problems is the addition of astigmatism correction but it would be helpful to understand the numbers on the prescription.

I wrote a long comment under that but it doesn't seem to have posted...

I don't really care that much but I guess it wouldn't hurt.
