What is good natured about this?

You’re a bully. I hope you find some non-toxic relationships someday.

As that dude would say, “Get Fucked!” A good prank has everyone laughing, including the person being pranked. This is just being shitty to someone and laughing at their plight in dealing with it. This is a shitty fucking “prank” and I wouldn’t count anyone that treated me this way, for any reason, as a friend. If someone has to chase down the victim and explain the joke/prank, then it wasn’t a prank.

So much safer to go one album at a time using Picard. Picard makes it easy to go down the list of a disorganized directory, identify most things automatically, allow in depth review and modifications to what Picard came up with, and standardize file naming. I’ve tried to let programs like Lidarr and beets automate it, but they always ends up causing more and more complex problems to discover and solve after awhile. Music releases are complex and sources are diverse, using distinct standards of form and format. It’s not a problem that can realistically be solved for my entire music library without the guiding hand of a librarian. I could listen to my library for over six months without repeating, even 1 album out of a 100 mis-tagged or misidentifyied could take me years to discover.

I do like to automate the less critical and more machine oriented library tasks like adding genres tags, replaygain, and lyrics as you do. Just not things like the metadata tags, file naming, or album art (embedded or otherwise).

I don’t want to know about Sam Neill’s controveries.

This is a non-sensical question. On a social media service YOU are the product. You’re characterizing the content as the product. But the content is merely the advertisement or bait for users, who are the real product, being sold to advertisers and countless other organizations. Why do you think reddit started charging for API access? Same goes for ads on Facebook, Google services, Instagram, TikTok, etc.

These days I try to buy either DRM free flax files. If I really like the art or the artist in addition to wanting to regularly actually listen to as an album, then I may try to buy vinyl + flac files. If it’s at a show I’ll buy whatever is available that I can play because at that point it’s more about the merch than music. I’m probably going to pass on the wax cylinders and I may think long and hard before buying a cassette.

It’s not hard, it just isn’t particularly efficient or convenient. The standard method is to use a bunch more water that you want to become actual ice, make it in large insulated blocks, then chop at the end. I have a little insulated tray that makes two at a time. They come out pretty clear, but at least half the water used is essentially waste to create a clear cube. The top half being still ice, but full of little bubbles, not clear. If I was throwing a party, as people are want to do on summer weekends, and I wanted many many big clear ice cubes then I’d seriously consider buying a box load.

Ironic typo

Is the word in English that you’re looking for rouse? Or rousing? As in “Julica rouses”. Or “Julica - rousing” so the dash makes sense again. There’s also Reveille or The Rouse for the morning bugle call.

I’m seeing this post for the first time, sitting at -30. I’m seeing it and yet it’s pretty heavily down voted. I’m not browsing by controversial or something like that.

Anyway, downvotes don’t really work the same way to hide unpopular posts the way you’re used to reddit doing. People aren’t enjoying it and are in fact still seeing it, so maybe just check yourself before getting hostile.

Why do you think this is about drinking coffee that tastes bad? I hate flavored coffee. I love coffee that has its own strong flavors (and I love a variety of those flavors from beans grown in different places and in different preparations). I also hate bitter poorly prepared coffees. Coffee should taste good, but it can also rock my mornings like only Grace Jones in a leather loincloth can.

No denying that I often interpret things in a comically literal way. No offense taken. Farts are funny.

This comic wasn’t particularly funny to me to begin with. The above dissection is why. This toad was dead on arrival.

The punchline implies that assumption or parallel processing. It must because it’s inconsistent with the common rules of the myth. Wishes are commonly executed in series, not in parallel, which is impicit in the syntax of the first, second, and third wish. So that assumption of parallel wish processing isn’t even consistent with most of the language of the comic or with the final panel.

They sometimes track, record, log evidence, and wait for the losses to accrue enough to prosecute at a higher level.

If you haven’t grown up drinking it, coconut water tastes a bit funky the first time you try it. The first time I tried it, it was kind of funky and I didn’t care much for it. The second time I tried coconut water was after hiking several miles in high heat, sunshine, and high humidity, it still tasted a bit funky. It tasted exactly the same actually, but this time, being quite dehydrated and nearing heat exhaustion, it tasted fucking amazing. Now I love that sweet coconut water umami, so much better than Gatorade or any other sports drink.

The behavior in question is a viral meme just like the post. Some kitties/kiddies learn to entertain themselves unspooling the roll, some never do. In a household with the potential for some bored gremlin learning this behavior it can be safer to just not present the opportunity, even if the behavior hasn’t been seen before.
