Random Rants Eighty-Four: Rants Gone Wild!!!!

No, You're an outdated and replaced technology that comes with so many issues!

Honestly, I figured BJ was making a joke about me hearing the noise, and wasn't actually asking how I knew the activities being enjoyed.

It's pretty much a guess. But based on rhythm those seem the most likely. Standing sprints, for example, are a tough rhythm and frequency to match. They're fairly unique.

Wow! You are always full of surprises friend Syns! I had no idea you were such a connoisseur of annoying noise.

I'm lynching you D1 in the next game.

I for one would never be caught dead with outdated technology.

Haven't you voted for me D1 in every game that we've played anyway? Besides, that was genuine admiration. Why would you want to lynch me for that?

Because it sounded mocking.

Because it sounded mocking.

There is a broken logic loop here that is too complex to explore. Connoisseur of annoying noise deflects genuine admiration because it sounded like annoying noise...

I guessed you would figure it out correctly when I made the post. I am not disappointed!

Thanks, Dad.

Ok boomer. Oh wait, can I say that?

What's the connection between your bet and playing the games? I'm missing something.

He gave me his copies instead of $5

I think the question was about how Syns knew such specifics. I'm not sure I could identify the sound of a jumping jack compared to, say, dribbling a basketball.

Basketballs are super loud and specific

Rant: I just got kicked out a survey because I switched tabs. I didn't even know this was possible for them to tell.

What makes it super-frustrating is that I switched tabs so I could copy my Prolific ID because the survey asked for it.

It's fine to hunt humans for sport in Argentina, I hear.

I have an exciting new job for you!

Nope we don't use sharia law here, the problem here the victim family afraid of retaliation, they feel embarrassed of what happened and the police is not doing their job unless there is money innit or it gets media attention.

Now they are willing to talk to me, I'm on exhibition till sunday, maybe I can go to meet them at Tuesday and tell you guys what happened

Looking forward to it.

I use a pen.

Ah. That is an awesome bet which you've won.

I'm trying to edit a very large text file in Notepad++, but it keeps silently crashing to desktop. This might be annoying.

Break the doc into smaller pieces. Combine them at the end.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

That's what I was thinking of doing anyways. I have a text splitter sitting around somewhere on my hard drive.

This is a good and fun article that everyone should read (by the wisest and most responsible of our thinkers, transhumanists).

Day 4 without most of my TV channels. I found out that the PBS app will let you stream News Hour so that's fine and good but I can't watch or record the other random programs I wanted to see. And Monday is a big Godzilla marathon that we planned our day around and it's forecast to rain so I definitely won't get the channel.

Since you're in the U.S., shouldn't you be able to watch shows on pbs.org?

I can't because the content on their website is geoblocked for Canadians.

CanCon regulation strikes again!

I’ll have to see if I can view anything from PBS, not that Masterpiece Theatre is my bag.

Antiques Roadshow, however...

I can stream all the PBS programs fine via an app but the Godzilla marathon is on Comet-TV which is another station.

BUT
Your comment inspired me to check if Comet-TV streams online and it appears it does, or at least it does for part of the day. Right now the streaming channel just says 'Back Soon'. Edit: It works! Thank you @Valka D'Ur ! They can't show commercials on their stream so it cuts to 'Back Soon' for each commercial break.
