Screen grab from the final scene of The Mist (2007).
The father in the driver seat shoots everybody else in the car as an act of mercy to save them from a certain death by the monsters in the movie. Goes to turn the gun on himself only to be met with an empty chamber. Mere moments later, military vehicles emerge from the mist to take on the monsters. If he had waited legitimately 2 more minutes everybody in the car would have been saved.
Can’t find a source for this but I remember reading that the audio is intentionally bad because it subconsciously makes people more inclined/pressured to purchasing add-ons or upsells.
You need a spell checker friend.
The thing about marriage is that anybody can do it. You don’t have to love somebody to marry them. It isn’t special. There’s no test you have to take together or qualifications you have to meet.
So yeah - he’s angry, and lonely, and he’s also married, but none of those things are related to each other.
Sounds like he needs therapy, but in our society men aren’t encouraged to share emotions if it doesn’t perpetuate an image of strength. So he’s expressing his emotions in a “socially acceptable” way: anger. Which is probably what also got him into these backwards ideas about his political ideology as well.
Plexamp can do all of this (not sure about mdna speakers though) and it has Tidal integration.
Finamp will also work but it lacks library/genre radio and mix support last time I checked.
I really admire your drive to produce art. You are absolutely cranking these things out!
I like how garage is a class but car is an intrinsic element.
Should be the same across any instance.

Google’s own Shaka sdk (video playback with ads) gives ad markers in the initial video manifest so that they can be marked on the timeline, so hopefully it’ll be trivial. Usually (but not always) with SSAI, the ads are spliced into the stream just before being sent to the client. That way if a user has just recently watched an ad pod, the server can choose to ignore that marker for a better UX in hopes that they don’t bounce if ads are too frequent.
I run both side-by-side, but for me Plex is still the clear winner right now for features and polish.
Sure. Obviously it’s more complex than that, but it helps illustrate where the math came from in the parent comment. I don’t know why Tidal pays more, but I’m hypothesizing its because most of their “co-owners” of Tidal are themselves, artists/musicians, which IMO is significantly better than the out of touch folks running Spotify.
Think of it not in terms of revenue percentages, but by payouts per song stream:
| Service | Payout/song | Plays to make $1 |
|---|---|---|
| Tidal Music | $0.01284 | 78 |
| Apple Music | $0.008 | 125 |
| Amazon Music | $0.00402 | 249 |
| Spotify | $0.00318 | 314 |
| YouTube Music | $0.002 | 500 |
| Pandora | $0.00133 | 752 |
| Deezer | $0.0011 | 909 |
So song for song, Apple is paying 2.5x what Spotify is (.008/.00318), and Tidal is paying out a whopping 4x what Spotify pays.

Yeah I’m on the free plan which used to include FLAC and 320kpbs, but they stopped doing that for free plans about a year ago I think.
I’ve been using deemix, and for the most part it’s been pretty seamless. Stuff direct downloads instantly, but it’s all in 128kbps now unfortunately. Then I have lidarr monitor everything for a lossless version.
You should check out Plexamp while you bridge the gap. It has tidal support built in, and you can self-host your own collection as you build it up. Then when you’re done with tidal, you don’t have to learn or download a new app.
I’ve been using an ultrawide since 2017 and I have no desire to go back. If anything I want to get an even wider monitor next time. My advice is to make sure that you don’t get a 1080p ultrawide. The 1440p versions are well worth the price difference. Had a 34” 2560x1080 monitor at work one time and it felt really claustrophobic compared to the 34” 3440x1440 I had at home.

Thanks! It was a Python backend that the data science team at UCAR built and a Vue.js front end.
I’m also learning French right now. I took Spanish in high school, which helped a lot with understanding Romance languages and the basics of learning another language. I’ve found that learning vocabulary French is fairly similar, but listening and understanding is so much more difficult because it’s so much less phonetic than other languages.
