Thats wild that this rich person complains that they don’t want traffic to maybe back up near their house, so the city comes up with a different traffic plan, but then cheaps out on the safety analysis? If you’re gonna listen to this one rich person (which you shouldn’t), at least make them pay the bill for a full safety analysis???
im sure if you showed him both of those fonts without telling him the name, he wouldn’t know the difference.
It’s got all the nutrients you need on a long ride!
i hope that door automatically pops open if a smoke alarm goes off. High speed exit from a burning house while covered in water? Can’t be any safer
D.A.R.E taught me to say no to strangers offering me drugs, but come on, I grew up with Tokyo Mew Mew
its pretty rampant these days. My dad had been using a web hosting company since the 90’s, and recently they got bought by some investment bank that just raised prices about 6x with barely any warning. He had to scramble to migrate the bulk of the stuff he had on there to somewhere more sane.
I read that article before and it just felt kinda strange to me. Like, obviously, thats an attention grabbing headline, and yeah, it goes on to talk about how, Amercian consumers are holding on to their devices longer than before, but then I think what they really wanted to talk about when they say “costing the economy” was more focused on companies not upgrading their hardware as often.
Like, they go on to say that there’s productivity being left on the table because the computer your job gives you is too slow to run heavy modern programs.
CNBC always feels so alien to me

the true solution to the Fermi Paradox, Everyone else saw our triangles, thought it was so cool, they went extinct from awe.
Idk if its exactly the genre you’re looking for, but Armored Core 6 is on PC, and pretty much all the other games in the series were on console, so the game plays well with a controller. You customize and control a mech in 3rd person and shoot stuff in different missions.
Pressure Cookers are wonderful for beans. Something like the Instant Pot can cook beans for you, as well as a whole bunch of other stuff. If you’re not comfortable with pressure cookers, there’s also slow cookers, tho they’ll take longer than just boiling the beans.
You could also just put the beans, water/stock, whatever seasonings you want in an oven proof pot, bring it up to a boil on the stove, and then transfer it into a 325F oven and let it go for 1-1.5 hours
bro we got them Neanderthal cooties wth
Probably is worth the piece of mind to let memtest86+ run for a few cycles overnight, so you can rule memory out. Memory issues are never fun. May also want to check out the BIOS and play with the XMP settings for memory, if you’ve got any. I had a bunch of weird freezing issues (though mostly related to sleep mode) that stopped once I set my memory to a different XMP profile
Single player mode? Noooo, you always have Activision by your side. Watching.
cant wait for someone to power their Gabecube with a big old steam engine they’ve gotta shovel coal into. Maybe they could wear an old-timey train engineer uniform
My parents bought an Echo Show that they pretty much just ignore nowadays, except to set a timer or tell them the weather every once in a while. All it does all day is sit there and show ads for random stuff. It makes a terrible clock because its too busy showing ads half the time to actually show you the time in a font you can read from across the room. I know you can ask it to tell you the time, but thats so much slower than just looking at a normal clock
got my coffee in hand, ready to go!
hire that guy! he thinks outside the box
ffmpeg can do that. It’s a command-line utility that can do a ton of media format conversions. Idk what OS you’re on, but you’ll have to download ffmpeg, extract it, then use the ffmpeg executable file.
for Windows file paths it would be something like:
cd path\to\album\folder
C:\path\to\ffmpeg.exe -i song.flac -map 0:a -c:a copy song.mp4
to shove a flac file into an mp4 container as is. If, for whatever reason, the program you’re trying to use, still doesn’t like the flac format in the mp4 container, you can convert it to a 320kbps mp3 like:
C:\path\to\ffmpeg.exe -i song.flac -map 0:a -c:a libmp3lame -b:a 320k song.mp4
(320kbps mp3 would probably have the least loss in perceptual quality from FLAC, while still having a wide range of compatibility)
(Also, the -map 0:a term makes sure that ffmpeg only tries to convert the audio stream. If you’ve got album art embedded in the FLAC file, it’ll get upset trying to convert the album art to a h.264 without the map argument)
As for converting the whole album at once, if you’re on Windows, idk how to do that. You’d have to look up how to use ForEach in powershell or something like that.
Anyone reading this on a Unix-like in bash would be able to run it in a loop in the album folder like:
for file in *.flac; do; ffmpeg -i "$file" -map 0:a -c:a libmp3lame -b:a 320k "${file%.*}.mp4"; done
