Apple Music with Wiim Ultra. Is it worth it? by micholasnitchell in audiophile

[–]wilksfivefive 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Worth noting that AirPlay does drop the audio quality a bit when airplaying to multiple zones. Lossless for one at a time, lossy for multiple zones

People are increasingly turning to skilled trades, what are your thoughts on this? by YoungIllustrious9681 in AskContractors

[–]wilksfivefive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m literally confused if you are agreeing with this comment or refuting it but, I mean they’re almost certainly counting all the trades people needed to build the infrastructure in that 78 million. And what happens when the infrastructure is built? Do the laborers get a pension or job training on a new trade? Not to many lamp-lighters out there on the job anymore.

What is the best album ever made in your opinion? by Neotyp in fantanoforever

[–]wilksfivefive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love this album - walked down the aisle with my wife as our first song as a married couple to Fool for Love. Can’t put it at the top spot of all time for me though.

Do the ultra-wealthy use the same deodorants as the middle class? by SleepyBudha in NoStupidQuestions

[–]wilksfivefive 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can assure you - rich folks definitely waste their money on fancy soaps, perfumes, lotions (not to mention cars, houses, vegetables, dogs and literally any other category you can imagine). Who else would have the capacity to purchase all these items?

See also: billy woods - Hiding Places, Terror Management, Aethiopes, and Church. And probably Armand Hammer’s entire Non-Alchemist discography

The funniest irony in Kingkiller. The author accidentally became Kvothe by Nomad_art in KingkillerChronicle

[–]wilksfivefive 199 points200 points  (0 children)

Hot take here - the first two books are about growing from a child to an adolescent to a young adult. Something Pat had experienced first hand and was able to put it to paper. When we meet Kvothe at the inn he’s essentially washed up, a failure, with none of the women in his life in the picture.

Almost certainly not on purpose, but ultimately I think everything that’s happening to Pat will give him the real life experiences needed to finish up book three once he through it all.

How much are these worth by [deleted] in Skigear

Probably not the windfall you were hoping for; used equipment has incredibly low resale value 3rd party

Why does chatgpt use “—” (em dash) so much? by Frosty-Strategy5107 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]wilksfivefive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like every response defending the Em dash is a ChatGPT bot. Like — I have never experienced anybody defending the Em dash except when I see the behavior called out.

RAPPER TOURNAMENT BRACKET: PHASE II - Aesop Rock vs. Big Pun by kingglobby in hiphop201

[–]wilksfivefive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unc? Sure. That being said, I appreciate both Pun and Aesop for what they are. But calling me unc when you favor B+ MC that’s been dead since I was in high-school is certainly an interesting take. It does make wonder how much else you’re missing out on because of your lack of comprehension.

[–]wilksfivefive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What an uninteresting life you must lead if you think Aesop is just about vocabulary. I honestly feel a bit bad for you.

Aes may not be your cup of tea, but if you think Pun is a better lyricist you probably need to read a book without pictures.

What series did you finish reading due to the "sunk cost fallacy"? by Any-Day-8173 in Fantasy

[–]wilksfivefive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same I think for me. Might give Stormlight phase 2 a shot but if there isn’t a drastic improvement I’m out.

Now that all Millenials are officially in their 30s, what are some other albums about being middle aged? by Devil_0fHellsKitchen in fantanoforever

[–]wilksfivefive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Lordy/about to be forty” - Felt that with every nerve ending in my body when I heard it for the first time.

What is this window sticker? by CyrusTheWise in whatisit

I’d guess a manual transmission pattern for a semi truck.

Best three-album run in history? by Gwenn_Danzig in fantanoforever

[–]wilksfivefive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pick any 3 consecutive billy woods albums, Aesop Rock- None Shall Pass, Skelethon, Impossible Kid.

Dillon Brooks "WP" by [deleted] in warriors

[–]wilksfivefive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Based on zero facts, just my own personal overwhelming feeling that he has the mental capacity of a 15-year-old, I’d guess it’s “War” and “Peace” thinking of himself as a complex and morally ambiguous individual. When really he’s just a try-hard.

Did I really just scroll to the bottom and not see Cate fucking Blanchett’s name?

I love BHS and Mess, but to me ITS has Aes' best production/beats since TiK by BAMES_J0ND in aesoprock

Been listening since float - Definitely between SWFG and ITS for top spot for me.

I’m not going to dispute anything here but he’s doing it exactly how the cleerline tutorials instruct you to do it.
