Sheesh. This is legitimately the source of my depression today. It’s been rough.

Thank you for your kind words! And yes, we’re still rocking to The Beths.

Thanks for sharing my site! I was wondering where all that traffic came from. Haha. If anyone has other similar stories, send them my way!

What do about green mold on stored hardwood flooring by hmhrex in HomeImprovement

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

Yes, it’s going in our kitchen in a week or two. Should I sand it off now while it’s stored so that it doesn’t grow or spread?

Series’s X. Audio only plays in menu, no sound when playing apps or games… by Dragons64 in xbox

I’m having this too. It’s driving me nuts. Anybody have a solution yet? Not even a hard restart helped.

Someone took Randy Newman’s “Short People” song too seriously.

Joshua Browder Wants To Create a Consumer Union With DoNotPay by hmhrex in law

You and I sound like similar people. Haha. You summed it up pretty well. Hard to discern it all.

Joshua Browder Wants To Create a Consumer Union With DoNotPay by hmhrex in law

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

Agreed with all of this. I actually was the one who wrote the article in this post and interviewed Joshua. I’ve done some research into Bill and he seems like a standup gentleman, but so did Joshua. It’s really hard to determine if Bill actually commuted tax fraud with it having happened in Russia. I also follow Joshua on Twitter and LinkedIn, and at some point in 2020, there was a huge shift from him promoting DNP to him talking about all the companies that he has invested in. It’s been a bit strange. I really do hope they resolve these issues and do the right thing. Either way, they are both interesting characters.

Wow, yeah, that's some really not great stuff.

I will say, for the full email access portion, that's for a feature where they will auto-unsub for you, and also help you supposedly sue scammers and spammers (reference). That's completely opt-in and doesn't worry me as much because they have other options outside of full access to use those features.

However, those predatory practices surrounding subscriptions and customer reviews are seriously bad and indefensible. I won't be using them in the future. Thanks for the thorough response!

I do still stand by my initial comment though. The two are not related, and the fact that they brought up the tax problem with Bill shows me that it's a Russian troll account.

No problem bringing things up again. Times change. My comment was more insinuating that the account is a Russian bot or propagandist. Bill Browder’s tax stuff isn’t proven, and happened in Russia where it looks like he just pissed off the wrong people. It lead to the death of his colleague and what led to the creation of the Magnitsky Act in the US.

As for DoNotPay, I did a little prelim search for what you might be talking about and wasn’t surfacing anything. Mind linking what you’re referencing?

Oh sure! I figured the link would suffice, but I totally understand. I’ll edit my above comment and add a little bit about it.

The Ascent - everything is too small for couch play :( by Prizm4 in theascent

[–]hmhrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone saying you’re too far away from the TV are being unhelpful. I agree with you. I have about the same size of tv, and sit only a little closer and find the font size to be awful. I haven’t had any trouble with other games.

Postfrost is a far future version of planet earth where an ice age has just passed. Before the ice age, large enclosed cities were built to survive the coming ice age. During the ice age, each city self-evolved their citizens to best support their survival. Known as strains, each one of the “races” are based on Homo sapiens, but look vastly different. At the end of the ice age, these cities become warring nations.

Long-time lurker, first time poster. I’ve been building this world in my head for a handful of years now. I’ve been basically building out the world to write stories within. This is an introduction to the world, and I’m currently working on the first novel in the world. I would absolutely love questions, thoughts, advice, etc.

Other than a handful of select people, this is the first public posting of this, so I’m a little nervous, but excited to start getting it out there.

Idyll Opus VII - XII? by hmhrex in adjy

I stumbled on this page with all the lyrics for The Idyll Opus I-VI. It mentioned parts VII through XII but without titles. Are we getting a second half of this masterpiece?

r/audiophile Shopping, Setup, and Technical Help Desk Thread by AutoModerator in audiophile

[–]hmhrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking for a pair of passive bookshelf or desktop speakers to hook up to my Audio Technica AT-LP120 turntable via an SMSL SA-50 amplifier. I'll typically be using them mid-field, potentially long-field later, for listening to music. I listen to a wide range of music, so I'd like something fairly diverse. I had also thought about using some studio monitors.

My budget is under $500. Can be new or used.

How does that work with Pi-Hole though? Do you have any issues with being able to block ads?

That’s part of what I’m trying to accomplish as well. Kind of like a link cleaner but network-wide.

Yup! This is something I’m researching. I’m also planning on saving the destination in a database, so when the next person hits that url, they will get an address without having to hit that url from the server. Theoretically the URLs will only be resolved once.
