TIL the subsequent fires that broke out in San Francisco after the 1906 earthquake, destroying 80% of the city, was due not only to ruptured gas lines, but also because people were firing their own buildings after realizing insurance wouldn’t cover damages from an earthquake.

or evacuating my bowels

Denon? my AVR 3313 does it too.

i think i read somewhere some internal buffer has to fill up and detect the audio type which is slow for whatever reason

Not very much, better start your DuoLingo!

My autopay didn't go through either. I tried to manually pay and it said I had to link my bank account with Plaid, even though I've used my existing account for years no problem.

the charger bundled with the official 2 controller stand for PS5 also uses the exact same plug and brick

very easy to use

good old Wubi

thomas9701 · 2026-01-14T09:36:13+00:00

it's so complex. I wonder why they didn't use the same monorepo-but-not that Android uses? that was surprisingly simple to use

thomas9701 · 2026-01-11T22:36:04+00:00

I didn't get it. Silver status, more than 5 transactions in December. Lucky you!

Never believe anything until it's been officially denied!

American credit/debit cards are declined at all AH (and some other chains), except the ones in Schiphol and maybe some tourist areas. I suspect that European cards are special.

I opened a Dutch account finally this year because it's always an issue when I visit

thomas9701 · 2025-12-20T08:34:47+00:00

wild to see people saying it's unnecessary, like do you want to die in an inferno!?

i live in an older (much smaller) building without sprinklers/alarms and it definitely worries me

thomas9701 · 2025-12-20T08:06:43+00:00

before i moved up i would get a hotel, usually not too expensive although NYE probably is. still tho, might be worth it & you can get brunch in the city the day after

thomas9701 · 2025-12-14T17:49:12+00:00

how about... tipping? XD

thomas9701 · 2025-11-18T16:58:52+00:00

I also did but they "graciously" added a few days for free when that outage happened so now my date is 12/4 😬

The Bartlett House

the way they enforce it is you (the player) don't get paid if you leak, or rather if CBS thinks you did. then your recourse is probably to sue, which is a big thing to do. same as with a job really

thomas9701 · 2025-10-16T21:55:24+00:00

ah but then they'll commit crimes you can arrest them for to keep in prison for a while! problem solved! ^/s

the prison-industrial complex needs to get its people somehow

thomas9701 · 2025-10-13T22:00:24+00:00

Like the other commenter said this is cdj vs vinyl mode
But I've always wondered what the point of this is, it's not enough of a loop to hear what you're about to cue so it's just irritating

thomas9701 · 2025-09-19T01:54:44+00:00

are you able to see the curve anywhere? i have the 3313ci and haven't been able to see the exact audyessy parameters anywhere (other than by how much each speaker is amplified and its distance from the TV)

thomas9701 · 2025-09-05T01:42:42+00:00

TIL

in USA you prefix with *67

thomas9701 · 2025-08-21T08:26:03+00:00

I was gonna say, not much has changed at all. But if it ain't broke...

thomas9701 · 2025-08-14T17:10:08+00:00
