With space not much of an issue anymore, FLAC is pretty much the default nowadays. And even though Opus and AAC and others have better encoding than old MP3, but I guess a 128 Kbps MP3 encoded in the original Fraunhofer l3enc (the best back

Same experience here. I loved The Great Mouse Detective, at age 8. Not much later I read The Dark Knight in a translated trade paperback, and it really tickled my little mind. There was a trend of having comic adaptations of movies back the

But... but... Trump's policies are even more tax breaks for the rich and tariffs on everything, do people not understand this?

I do recognise his major contributions: Made electric cars commonplace sooner than I thought with the Model S, financed SpaceX's doubtlessly awesome progress, and... well that's pretty much it. Thing is, the illusion is fading, hi

Yeah of course I can't find it now, there was some lame Youtuber memelord that let his buddy shoot at it with a handgun and at least one bullet went through. But I also see that it can resist it, so IDK and retract my statement. I do k

It's strange, here in Norway I usually get phishing attempts of the "check your parcel" variety around the time something is on its way with DHL from another country. I guess they have someone on the inside that supplies the

The thing will never, ever be approved under EU rules, and the only bad thing about that is that I'll never get the chance to point and laugh at the driver of one.

The appropriation of the Scandinavian norrøn viking lore by the extreme right/nazi-adjacent/nazi groups is so annoying. I'm from around Tønsberg (look it up) and we have a lot of people with a healthy, normal interest in the

Pizza is a little bit of flour, yeast, water and salt; crushed tomatoes; herbs, cheese, and whatever other toppings. It's a super cheap thing to make, even fresh, in a place where all these ingredients are already cheap basic stuff.

Knowing the pizzaiolos and other southern italians I work with over this summer, this was no surprise... There's a reason there are no pineapples, in any form, on this island. They are, understandably, crazy proud of their pizza and ot

Yeah when a company says one of their responsible disclosure rules amounts to "just don't ruin our prod system, or reveal or steal data pls" they basically invite you to try and break in - responsibly.

DesqView. Used it for BBS stuff, like being logged into admin at the same time as having a user on AND running Norton Commander or whatever at the same time.

Depends on if they smoke pot and hashish, to me. If you ever pour out a Carlsberg, their hops smell extremely like fresh, nice pot. Most non-smokers (canna or otherwise) seem to like it, or at least tolerate it. Hashish does have a much mor

If all they do is follow his instructions on labeling and categorization, he himself is also an archivist, with the people being his clerks. He started taping on his own long before it became a multi-VHS "i need people to do this"

It's not 330p as 330 is the HORIZONTAL resolution, not the vertical. Vertical is still the same as NTSC (525 lines) or PAL (625 lines) so you'd technically have "480p" (NTSC) or "576p" (PAL) visible, with half

Probably it thought you searched for images from Romania that have been on the Mega file sharing service? Which in itself sounds, at least superficially, like something that would be very CSAM-ridden. It's likely a scunthorpe-like mix-

Yeah stay away from moose, they are friendly enough when lying down drunk on fermented apples in the yard, but if you come between a mom and a calf when walking in the forest you may be in a world of pain. Yes, they do attack dogs that beco

Nice history! So cool to read that it was your mother, as well - not your father. I can imagine the shock the SJ brass got when they had /female/ applicants to this kind of serious education. Perish the thought, right? e: As a Nor

It's so fun to see Stoll enthusiastically still participating in forums like this, commenting, adding anecdotes; just hanging out. A wonderful person and a true legend.

Ah, thanks for enabling an excellent impromptu LMNC / Hainbach EP :) I loved that weird thing, and I'm so happy Sam and Hainbach "found each other" -- they jive so well together.
