Context is everything.
“When are you guys coming over?”
“We were thinking 20th, but I couldn’t get off work then, so 21st it is.”
If you’re in that conversation, you’d be perfectly clear of what’s up. Imagine having to append “of December” to both dates (or also the year for that matter).
If it’s something more than a year ahead, then sure, I’ll include the month and the year - but that’s still going from most specific to least specific (i.e. day, month, year).
Depends on the language honestly. In my native language (that’s not English) it sounds somewhat clumsy with the zero in front, but it’s still sometimes used. Depending on the context it might be a simple number (zero two) or it might be an ordinal (zero second). From 2010 and on it’s been easier because you just say the equivalent of “tenth”, “eleventh” and so on.
In writing it also depends on the context - if it’s something ambiguous (that could be 1925 or 2025), then sure, write the full year, otherwise two digits are fine.
So they don’t have the resources to check returned goods or what? Or they simply don’t care enough?
Yeah, okay, I’ll somewhat agree on that one, but I was commenting on the “failed” part - it’s not like someone else (or OP from the screenshot) was unsuccessful in masking it - it was deliberately masked enough to mess with automated flagging systems, but not enough to even start being ambiguous or unclear (like it would be with actual censorship). So… “task failed successfully”? I dunno.
I think it’s not censorship, just intentionally masking it like this, probably to avoid it being immediately flagged by OCR.
If I remember the name I’ll tell you.
From the ones I do remember: Airfix Dogfighter was cool.
The sole fact that we’re here means that we don’t even have to think about those, but yeah.
For me it’s been mechanical keyboards as of late.
Maybe I should start stocking up on GMK sets - those seem to resell nicely.
Yeah, imagine the situation of “I don’t want anyone else’s ads, I’ll host my own and look at them by myself”.
Probably helped of the common misspelling of “ads” as “adds”.
I have an assorted collection of CD rips, digital downloads and files acquired through ahem other means. At home I have a NAS which keeps those files (99% of them are 44.1/16 FLACs, the rest are also FLACs in other resolutions/bit depths). On my own computer I listen to those files through foobar2000 and on my work one (since it’s a bit more limited in what I can install) I use Navidrome and its web player. Hadware-wise I have an ADI-2 DAC FS that powers either an HD 600 or a pair of HS8 speakers. I don’t do any mixing/mastering, but I’ve grown to like neutral-leaning sound. On the go I rely on the same Navidrome instance backing Symfonium running on an Android phone hooked up to a Retro Nano and IE-200. For a very long time I was avoiding Bluetooth, but turns out that this combo, at least with my previous phone, sounds significantly better than the same IEMs hooked directly to the headphone out of the phone (and running a wired DAC was a pain because it was constantly dropping out); my current phone doesn’t have a headphone out at all, and generally, even if there’s a quality loss over Bluetooth, it would be negligeable in the city noise I usually have to listen in, plus it’s cumbersome having a cable attached to my phone when I’m trying to do other stuff with it.
I gave up the idea of having everything offline on the go (although it still is at home); it’s not feasible to have to look for a phone with 1 TB of storage, and with the current one I can set up favourites so that at least a section of my library is cached on the phone and not relying on an Internet connection. Other than that it’s nice to not rely on any external services or subscriptions - everything is my own equipment managed by me.
As for the CDs I have, they’re mostly bought at shows, so hopefully a big chunk of the money goes directly to the artists; I also buy T-shirts and other merch. I also like Bandcamp, especially on Bandcamp Fridays since all the money goes to the artists, but something tells me that they’ve been trying to compensate through shipping rates - shipping a t-shirt and a CD shouldn’t cost more than parts for a complete bike (speaking from experience).
Music-wise, I can’t name one single band, but lately I’ve been into New Model Army (saw them live - they were brilliant), Converge (stoked about the upcoming album), All Them Witches, Tragedy, Aesop Rock.
So nobody has corrected “big-ass cranes” to “big ass-cranes” yet? I guess I’ll do it then.
And then there’s Fenriz who actually cares about drum sound - but then again he probably doesn’t categorise as crusty-ass.
Yeah, I meant most of that with the second paragraph. I’m just doubtful that active cooling would happen on mobile - manufacturers seem generally averse to including any moving parts (remember popup front cameras?). The direction that makes more sense to me is to make CPUs more thermally efficient.
Have you tried rubbing Ozzy Osbourne into her eyes instead?
In the same line of thought: stop killing babies to make baby oil. /s
The owls are not what they seem.
You either 1) have a backup or 2) will have a backup next time.
Yeah, but hamburgers are importanter.
Might be an allergy. I used to have something like this with some foods some years ago. What’s interesting is that now I don’t seem to have it any more with the same foods; it might be true what they say about allergies - that they come and go. Not a medical professional - just speaking from my experience.
