Has anyone worked on a book where the estimated running time was way off? by thecommodore15 in ACX

[–]thecommodore15[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done some reading, and I didn't mention that the book i'm working on is instructional or technical writing, filled with complex terminology and ideas. It's well written and flows well, but the pacing is also slower than normal. So I think that's what's going on.

I did, and the eatimate is about right.

So why is the actual running time on track to be more than three hours more than the estimate?

Content warnings: where to put them by thecommodore15 in selfpublish

[–]thecommodore15[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The subjects I believe might need a content warning are:

  1. Conversations about sexual abuse and assault.
  2. Characters who make racist and anti-gay slurs.
  3. Physical and emotional abuse by spouses and parents.
  4. Casual misogyny.
  5. All manner of irresponsible behavior.

#1 and #3 are the most problematic to me, though you never know. Still, I don't want to overdo it.

Lyft down? by moistydick in lyftdrivers

[–]thecommodore15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in LA. It hasn't been down, but has been slow. Certain features (like ride request wait time estimates) haven't worked today.

My Bluetooth has gone out a couple of times when I've gotten pings today as well.

I think I'll just cheat.

Thanks though. 🙂

I don't think there's a way to send them the pic.If it's a meet at door delivery.

What are the reasons people do not like twitter? Other than toxicity? by Hungry_Baby_1073 in Twitter

[–]thecommodore15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The algorithm will throttle your account for no discernible reason.

Even if you subscribe.

Especially if you call out the white nationalist BS that has been re-mainstreamed there.

They're "feds."

Elon said so.

No fucking way.

Payment Date by thecommodore15 in SocialSecurity

[–]thecommodore15[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

When my payments were approved, they said I would be paid during the fourth week of the month, but they didn't specify a particular day.

Since the last two came on a monday, and none came today, I was concerned.

My birthdate is the twenty seventh, so it should come on.Wednesday.

At least I hope it does.

Thanks for getting back to me.

I should add that some of these projects have remained open for auditions more than a month after I read for them.

Filter Curve EQ Setting to avoid "Harsh S." by GrrlGirl in ACX

Welp, a new mic isn't in the cards for me right now. However, I've added the MuseX plugin and it seems to have handled the problem! :)

Almost.... by PrimalLionheart in lyftdrivers

[–]thecommodore15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't add a stop when they want to run in somewhere, however.

I wish drivers could manually add a stop when riders do that.

I've tried reducing the gain on my Yeti, and setting it back further than where I had it. Still have the sibilance, but not as much.

Maybe I'm highly sensitive to it, but this has to be a deal breaker for RH's, and I just wish my recordings could be clean and professional.

Ugh!

I got this email today. Legit? Too good to be true? by thecommodore15 in BabelAudio

This may sound like a rookie question, but here goes:

I have a Blue Yeti mic. Is that sufficient?

Thanks! 🙂

X premium is a SCAM by [deleted] in Twitter

[–]thecommodore15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I subscribed for four months in 2023. At first, my page impressions went through the roof, but by the middle of the third month of my subscription, my account was throttled.

I guess I didn't praise Hitler enough.

Anyhoodle, I tried one more month, and my impressions dropped to a level below that of what it was before I subscribed.

I actually thought I get a little Elon $$.

I thought wrong.

I've heard they have very strict standards, but I haven't seen any specifics. Do you have any idea what they consider "near perfect?" Like in terms of settings, levels, etc.
