[Barbarossa]

It seems to be all 'playlists' these days :unsure:

It seems that the young 'uns don't really bother with 'owning' music anymore, they just stream it when they want it.

...but I'm sure you know all this better than me. :idunno:

[shaina]

What is Albums?? Is that something you put your kids photos in:DNo, that's a hard drive.
Am I missing some new thing that the cool kids call albums these daze.

I was just joking Manker... I have one of those Digital Picture Frames still in the box, that you can add a bunch of .jpeg, .image files and have them on display:D

I actually still prefer to listen to vinyl over CD or Digital Downloads, but it can be hard to find vinyl albums today. I have quite of few from Jazz to Rock and Disco originals,
And i bet Idol has even more than i do....

But between SeriusXM Radio and Spotify, and many other free streaming music companies today no need to even purchase music, just need speakers in the house and outside and use your phone or laptop, it is just more convenient..
You can even add docking stations around the house or mini Ipads.

[Barbarossa]

Also while we're on the subject of young 'uns, they don't understand that not all screens are touch-sensitive screens. What's that all about?

Daughter #2 was using the laptop last night, and starts prodding the screen with her finger, shouting "IT'S NOT WORKING. WHY ISN'T IT WORKING?" :facepalm:

I don't listen to a lot of music. I stubbornly stick to the one genre I like and switch up the albums on my phone for when it's needed.
I usually listen to an audiobook if I'm driving on my own or inflict Talksport upon my companions if I'm not.

Don't get the vinyl thing. It's like looking at someone's imperfect 'art' depiction of a scene when a photograph does a better job.

I've seen my kids reaching up for the telly to do that, too.

We should all number our kids. In the before time, I thought JP did it 'cos he's old and has hundreds.
Thinking about it now, though, it's just a convenient way of relaying the pertinent information to a reader.

I've programmed myself like a Westworld host to pretend that cricket doesn't exist.

So your comment doesn't look like anything to me.

[shaina]

Don't get the vinyl thing. It's like looking at someone's imperfect 'art' depiction of a scene when a photograph does a better job.

For instance.. If you listen to a Supertramp, Genesis, any old school Disco, the sound is day and night. People try to describe vinyl being a warmer sound, but i don't understand what that means, i compared with the same speakers using all the different formats, and i still prefer vinyl:yup:
And i am not talking the new Record Players, i am talking about vintage ones, and you cherish them because they sound amazing plus it is a real pain in the ass to find replacement needles for them :'(

To each there own i guess on the sound people look for, that would be the same for headphones, in ear or over ear...
I tried listening to audio books for a while and it never stuck, i prefer playing loud music to keep me entertained, if i am not watching something on the TV..

I think i downloaded Cricket for Xbox360 and still have yet to play it...

Have you ever played Cricket Manker??

[Barbarossa]

I don't get the vinyl thing either. The quality of the music is more important than the quality of the sound.

Also... I don't get the "original art" thing. Why do people pay millions for an original piece of art, when a perfectly good reproduction will do. It's the same picture after all.

Same goes for forgeries. If a forgery is 99.9% accurate, what's the problem? Still looks good on the wall...

Yeah, I sucked at it though. Played a bit for school and then joined the local team. My parents got all the kit for me, except a bat. I was to get a bat after my first 50.
It transpired that fielding was my forte and I 'participated' for a few games as a non-bowling number 11. Never did get that bat.

Interesting thought Barbarossa.. And i would agree with you when you are attaching a Movie/Visual part, but ask yourself this?? How many BD50's movies do you download?? or even purchase 4K movies??
When it is a movie i really like, and this would be mostly Action movies, i download the BD50 version. What is that?? That is basically the true version of the Blu ray rip, and it can be 30-60gig's , reason the sound tracks are really big, when you download a 1080 MKV file it is shrunk down and degraded, and it removes a lot of the sound quality, eg.. like MP3 from Flac..
But when you want to listen to raw 2 channel sound and you listen to it loud, it just seems to sound more raw and not digitally sampled..
Again it is your own personal preference..

As for real original art and reproductions, that would go under what you want and can afford, like going to art shows/auctions, and buying original signed art from an up and coming painter/artist or even a sculpture , and you like his or her work, if you can afford it and you want it, do what the heck you want:D
Maybe you could compare that to someone that buys and collects Sports cards for a few bucks because they want it, not saying they need it per-say...

Again Barbarossa, what you put in your house or dwelling is up to you, i am not really a art guy but i do have a few sports things that i purchased and like, and have them displayed in rooms in my house..
That is what i like:D,

I figured that would be a School sport on your side of the Pond. I have never played, but i tried watching it a few times and between that and Baseball i find it kind of boring to watch, and it would be the same, in school i played Baseball, but i guess i was lucky i got to bat:D and usually played outfield or third base...
For house league or pickup games i preferred playing hockey, ice or ball, didn't matter to me, then Tennis took over a few years, now it is mainly Golf:01:

Do you play any sports now Manker??

I saw this painting on imgur (http://imgur.com/gallery/JRCuf) the other day, it is fantastically realistic. The kind of thing that would look good in one of the kids' bedrooms.
The original would go for thousands I imagine, so I went to the artist's website and looked to see if there were any prints available instead.
There were, so I got my card out and thought even with shipping, it won't be too expensive. I've done this kind of thing before when I've liked some picture or other that I saw on the internets.

It was $800 US. For a print. The last one I bought was £30, and I thought that was a bit cheeky, like.
Artists are cocks. Fact.

[Barbarossa]

$800 doesn't sound so bad. You can't put a price on a hi-res teddy bear's orgy. Any child would love to wake up to that every morning :unsure:

I had an artist come to my house and paint kids theme shit right on the walls, what ever it costed, so many years later i painted over it with something else:idunno:

Your way Manker, i would have more shit in the basement or be giving it away to someone that had young kids. Or what i did do on some shit is i gave it away for Tax Receipts:D

Here is a question for you Torrent Guys...

When it comes to private torrent sites, is there always someone seeding??
Example... When you go to lets say Piratebay, and you look something up and it shows it was there one time, but now there is no one seeding...

Occasionally i use torrents if someone asked me for something and i can't get it on Usenet, it is rare but i get more pissed when you see it listed on the torrent site but no one is seeding, which makes it useless to even say it is there....

Does that happen on private Torrents??

[shaina]

The quality of the music is more important than the quality of the sound.

Really what does this statement mean Barbarossa??

Could you elaborate/explain what you mean??

I might have not responded correctly the first time...

[Quarterquack]

Does that happen on private Torrents??

Yes. If a tracker is of decent quality they'll have clearly explained rules for when a .torrent is deleted off the server because a seeder is 'never' coming back. A reasonable period is 14 days. So if a tracker still indexes a file, it's because someone in the last two weeks could have still distributed it, for example.

Most private trackers have a 'request re-seed' button that asks all downloaders of the torrents if they still have it on their hard drives.

Do you play any sports now Manker??There's a pub based game called golf, too, best played in Swansea along the Mumbles Mile. Where a pint is par and if you have a chaser with it, then you make birdie. An eagle is obtained if your chaser is a double and so on. You can duck out of a round and get a bogie. After 18 pubs, the winner is ... actually, I've no idea. I've played the game dozens of times and I can never remember its conclusion.
From what Ive read, the golf you play seems to combine the sport and my version :]

I still play footie now, just five-a-side though. It's too cold to play on a Saturday for me these days.

That is funny and true at the same time, but i add pain meds as well :lol:
Also sounds like you tried to get too many eagles and it fucked up your memory LOL!!

It is not like i am out of shape, but running sports are just not my thing anymore. I try to rally the ball around on the tennis court in Florida when i am there for a bit, Golf seems to be my thing now. And if you ever do take it up, fuck it can be frustrating!!, you can have a streak of rounds and shoot in the low 80's or even break 80, then you get the frustrating rounds that you can't sink a bloody putt or hit a drive in any direction that is rewarding, but the truth is when you are playing with a bunch of nice guys/friends it is really fun:D
And on the doorstep of 50, my brain still thinks i am 30 and my body says "I DON"T THINK SO!!", and you can't say golf is a cardio sport, but boy you do have to stretch your body or you can't hit the ball properly (hens the back meds+alcohol).

Thanks Quarterquak for the response:D
Meg gave me an invite to IPT a long time back and i still to this day not used it(really do hate the seeding shit!!), but the problem i did find compared to let say Extratorrent, which is a public torrent site they seem to actually have more files on it, and what i mean, you say 14 days, what happens if what you are looking for is 3 or more years old?? or the interest for the file is gone on the private site??
I use to notice that more on KickAss torrents and sometimes i got lucky and there was 1-2 seeders for real (sometimes the seeder # was fake or wrong). How i am interpreting what you are saying, if it is not re-upped and seeded again you are fucked on the private torrent sites.

But your last comment on request or requesting something that is not on the site, i would assume if anyone has it on there drive, they would be courteous, and have it available for you. I haven't really run into a problem so far with Usenet and the occasional use of public torrents, but thanks for the Info Quarterquack, it may come in handy if Usenet becomes wonky for me..

Thanks Again

The quality of the music is more important than the quality of the sound.

Bad sound quality won't let you enjoy good music quality. With that said, some people can take it to extremes (feel free to look up any "MP3 vs. FLAC" discussions).

As we all know, 128 Kbps tracks from Limewire beat everything else anyway :smilie4:

To elaborate, I used to have a mate who bought all the top of the range hi-fi equipment he could get his hands on, just so he could play shitty dance tracks and rap and stuff.

I would much rather hear good proper music that I like with guitars and drums and real singers played on a crappy tape deck, than crap music played on the best equipment.

128 Kbps was always good enough for me back in the day, although I prefer at least 192Kbps now, or more of course, now we have effectively infinite storage and high speed broadband. (Not that my ears can really tell the difference...)

I'll admit I'll take V0 if given the choice, just in case, but at the end of the day I'll settle for whatever sounds good.

This (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23398715-how-music-got-free) book explains (among many other things) all the stuff the engineers behind MP3 had to go through to make it sound decently, first at any bitrate, then at 128K. It's a good read.

[shaina]

As we all know, 128 Kbps tracks from Limewire beat everything else anyway :smilie4:

320Kbps is DJ and Industry standard, but you could settle 256kbps :D

I actually took that statement (once i took a second look), as not on the actual recording/sampling, but the type of music/genres/artists:idunno:

And to be honest Anon, if you take the size of the file or how it is compressed into consideration, there is something to that on the quality of output or how it is decoded..

MP3 (128kbps) is quick and pretty much every player reads them but i wouldn't say it is the best listening quality, but it is usually what i use in my backyard for playback, but i wish they didn't get rid of 8tracks:lol:

back to work today after 2 weeks off :emo: its not so bad coming back on a Saturday for OT. The place is empty and there's a Simpsons double bill on the big tellybox behind me. 715 emails, over 300 from machines saying they're OK and not to worry :mushy:

In sad news my 98 year old gran apparently fell out of bed last night and is in a very bad way :sadwalk:

Watched the end of the Tennis, Jock O'Vich looked jaded. Though that's a tad unfair on Ann D Murray.

I think Wales would still be favourites against us, but at least that result keeps us in the top 8. I think we are about 7th, with Wales 5th.

It is a bit, Djokovic didn't look at all jaded when he was playing Nishikori yesterday, and he was only on court for an hour or so. I reckon Murray just put the ball in areas he couldn't exploit.
Andy Murray reminds me somewhat of Glenn McGrath, I'm not sure this will mean much to many but neither looked like they could be the best in the world when you looked at their attributes compared with others in the field - but they were/are due to their metronomic accuracy.

I said I was going to swear off Westworld because of the soap operesque scenes, but I wanted to like it. Despite my proclamations, I've been pushing through, watching it as a chore that accompanied other tasks like eating, pooping, and laundry (not directly connected). It could be too early to call, but at episode 7, I feel like I just earned dividends on my perseverance.

In related news, I mentioned Dark Matter the other day. I stated that it was awful, and it was, but then I watched the last six episodes of the series in a row when teh missus went to bed early because she's a massive gay, and now I think it's awesome. I possibly thought it was shite because it was trying too hard to be Firefly. The main plot-line turned out to be pretty solid.

In my infinite narcissism, I understand this to mean that I definitely should say something again once the season closes. It's just that there are some really good plot lines, scenes, and acting adjacent to really bad plot lines, scenes, and acting; the unintended disparity is jarring. There were two key things that happened in episode 7 that strongly tipped toward my favor (a host's decision and a revelation).

[IdolEyes787]

I watched like part of a couple of episodes of Dark Matter and that other show Killjoys that tries even harder to be Firefly but I thought both to be pretty bad. As for Westworld, my mind works on the principle that if all the bt internet fags that I find to be truly odious like it then I refuse to watch it 'cause I hate them and so don't want to be them and stuff. :smilie4:

Agreed. Episode 7 was just brilliant. In fact, it makes you want to rewatch episodes 1-6 to see if there were any clues about the reveal in episode 7. (which there probably wasn't).

[Mr. Mulder]

Westworld is boring the tits off of me. I like cowboy shit and I like robot shit but its just another walking dead, nothing happens! Like the last episode where that guy turned out to be a robot, that took an hour! What's it up to now? Episode 6 or something? And maybe 3 things have happened? I'm not saying everything else isn't guilty of it, I even still watch the walking dead but despite it being robot cowboys with boobs, I just find it hard to give a fuck :idunno: I think I read somewhere it's already been renewed for 87 seasons.

Mulder, you'll definitely hate at least one male character all the way through the series because he's basically a toned up Foggy from Daredevil in space. Also another one, but he somehow gets less annoying when you stop thinking he's a really shit Jayne from Firefly each time he's on screen.

They've picked a weird book to base the second film on, the seventeenth in the series; it's not in the top ten of the books, let alone the best two.
I remember being disappointed when Tom Cruise was announced as Reacher, but he's made a decent fist of it. Although some of his films have been dodgy, he delivers in all of them - I don't know why people look down on him as an actor unless it's the scientology thing, which would be a bit mental.

Usually they withhold the long lost kid trope until further down the lifecycle of a series when they have either run out of ideas or the star is beginning to get a little too long in the tooth to be believable in action scenes ( ie Die Hard. Rocky. Indiana Jones etc) .
It's basically little more than a hail Mary pass to which nothing good ever happens ( ie Die Hard.Rocky. Indiana Jones etc).

That and in this particular case it dertracts sgnificantly from the whole premise of the character who is suppose to be this epitome of an outsider.He is also suppose to be sort of this unstoppable force of justice which isn't helped by him being not even the biggest badass in the film. In the first movie the villan(s) only survived up until the point he uncovered and confronted them. In this movie he actually at several points runs from them.

Then there's the whole "partner" bit. Action heroes of this type don't have partners, they have sidekicks which sometimes rise to the occasion or in the case of "buddy" movies like Lethal Weapon the partner is a screwup or at least a a significantly lesser threat. Not so in this film.

I appreciate that they chose to give a woman a strong part but if someone else is capable of doing what the hero does then there is not too much real point to the hero, is there?

I'd post the trailer but my phone browser would never allow it :eyebrows:It's okay, I wouldn't watch it anyhow.

:ghey: Anime :glag: :ghey: fag :ghey:

I don't look forward to any non Tom Cruise science fiction because even the good Oscar winning films like Gravity are Bullock and even the truly great films like 2001 still aren't To Kill a Mockingbird.

If I were to look forward to one though it would be Passengers because it appears to have something to do with Jennifer Lawrence's tits.

I'm not in any position to watch such a long video but if Andy's in it, then I'm all for it.
I think I've seen Jennifer Lawrence's tits every day for the past two years, so that's not a huge consideration for me.

Are you still managing to not see them? I seem to remember you getting all hoity toity about 'the fappening'.

Haven't watched Sons of Anarchy, heard it's decent but I don't think I ever will now.
When I suspend disbelief, I like to do so because of warp drives or planet busting white hole technology, rather than bikers who never swear.
You don't seem like a sci-fi guy, but if you've never seen Firefly, you should watch it. Subsequently not revisting the genre won't be such a tragedy as if you never did.

I just had a look to see what this truck is all about:


What happens on the truck tour?

On your visit you'll have the chance to have your photo taken with the iconic truck, while our team hand you a free, perfectly served 150ml can of Coca-Cola, Diet Coke or new and improved Coca-Cola Zero Sugar. Once the sun has set, you'll be invited to enjoy an incredible after-dark surprise as we screen a short Christmas animation onto the truck, powered by your goodwill and festive cheer!

People turn up to this shit :eyebrows:

[Mr. Mulder]

Exactly.

I've booked Friday next week off cos she's going away for a long weekend, I'll have Friday & Saturday unsupervised.

Can't quite work out why you think it's going to be fireworks, I'm pretty sure from the wording that the animation is the surprise.

I've been getting a slice myself recently. The missus has been going to bed early so I've been drinking a lot of wine and watching a lot of big telly sci-fi.
Like, I think I've upset her but I'm not sure what I've done. It's been since Saturday and I am curious, but equally I don't want to risk this sweet deal by asking needless questions.

Sup, intercunts. Westworld. It's fucking brilliant. Currently my favourite thing ever.

Aside from all the fucking quality intrigue and tantalising character development and sublime production and riveting performances and all the wee cool things, something has just struck me.

It's fucking class, that anachronistic thing they pull with Radiohead and Soundgarden et al on the player piano. But I'm now thinking that it's not just a nice trope. It hasn't been made clear as to which point in the future the whole thing is set. It could be maybe 2,000 years from now and the history of popular music has become confused. Fuck I'm loving this shit so much.

Yes, I'm wopped. So fucking what.

Sorry but I only take the advice of drunks on whether I'm sober enough to drive or not.

Wopped hands are industrious hands. Wopped hands never have too much time on them. These wopped hands have been instrumental in educating your potato hands (if your feet are anything to go by). Think of all the times these wopped hands have wopped the back of your hands in an act of altruism and cruelty.

You'd still be on the same sentence, for fuck sake, if it wasn't for my hands being wopped.

[IdolEyes787]

Cerealously though, if when not refering to an Irishman, wopped means extremely tired then how did the Italians ever manage to build the pyramids in a day?

In the summer here it can get a bit loud in the backyards, right next door i have a holy roller with 5 young kids, but the parents occasionally have a lunch nap and a few end up in our yard , seem to like the trampoline and some other sorts of toys, and the wife and i don't mind, as long as we remind ourselves they have to go home sooner or later..

What's this weird £ thing?
Geez, considering it's London you'd think they'd at least speak English.

They do just not the English from the American side:D

There houses have increased pretty much like here, they have increases have changed from doubling in 10 years to between 7-8. But you still have to consider borrowing rates, as long as the interest rates are low and inventory of houses on the market are low as well prices will rise in demanding areas a bit faster..

Like the removing the capital gains tax for home purchases under $350,000 and doubling it for houses over a million, who is that helping in main Ontario cities??
The big problem people don't comprehend... If you sell your house and you get a really good buck, do you thing when you want to upgrade the seller isn't thinking the same??
I can tell you when i can finally get rid of my dependents, my wife and i well end up in a 2+ bedroom condo here and a 2 bedroom in a nice sunny place all year round for the winter hibernation :D
And which ever one i Die in will be just fine for me....

I can tell you the cost of living in Florida, if you take out the personal shopping, is cheaper even with the dollar difference, and as long as you can keep the health insurance you have to purchase low when you live in the Great and wonderful USA, it will be just fine for me:happy:

Oh!! and my wife :)

I am in a different position Mulder, but for sure i can see that, because here it would be tough to do it, unless you start off in a Condo first and then try to move up..
But you have to look at reality as well, most Husbands/Wives Girlfriend/Boyfriend work so you are looking at more than the 30s with two incomes.
It is always said it is the biggest one time purchase/ investment of your life not counting the pounds of weed (just kidding:D)

But i would also assume there is nice places on the outskirts as well to live that decreases the cost a bit??

I thought condos were things of luxuary? They're what rich people live in in merkin films? :eyebrows:

Ya Mulder but not all of them are expensive, and it depends where they are located :D
If you want to use America (Florida) for an example, if you want to be on the ocean a condo can cost $400,000 to 20 million and if you go across the street off the ocean you can get for say $300,000 to 10 million depending on the size and floor.

In Ontario Canada it would be the same location or demand on location dictates property value, and that would be the same for you i would assume...

use as an instance a condo in my area may go for $350,000 for 600sq feet if you go to downtown Toronto that same condo will be $500,000 plus.

My mother-in laws condo in Florida is inland and on a golf course, and lets say valued at $350,000, now drive 15-20 min south and you are looking at $550,000 to get the same size, but everything goes up as well like your monthly maintenance..

I really don't know are condos popular where you live Mulder?? Here they go up like shitting Bananas !!! If you think about it land is expensive so building up means way more profit to the builder, and the city as well (taxes heat hydro)

[shaina]

Here is a great example of Florida..

This is a new condo that was built in Sunny Isles (Just north of Miami)
172891

My neighbor stays in a frugal style hotel (religious and there is a synagogue in it) i saw that condo being built over a few years, it is the Porsche tower and you can bring your car or suv (which you get with the purchase) right to your condo floor by private elevator. He stays at a reasonable price right next to a condo that costs in the high millions to buy, plus another condo next to that one each floor is a dwelling and the outside balcony goes all the way around, if i remember they started at 8 million

It really is incredible how the rich and corrupt live (no one who make money legit/honest can afford them LOL!!!)..

When i am ready to buy i will be a wee bit north for my price range:D

[JPaul]

Right, a burd you fancied, gotcha.

Yeah beautiful blonde Kraut girl she was too.

I assume you wood.

You couldn't fight the zoning Idol??

I bark much worse thatn I bite. Might be that couples dream home that they've been saving years for for all know. Would be truly petty to deprive anyone of that just because I prefer it to be a bit more tranquil.

Play Satanic death metal through a loudspeaker aimed directly at them. Or mix your own messages that suggest clearly that the most popular children's characters are dead. The daycare will decide that outside playtime is NOT a good idea. :)

Morning.

[mjmacky]

I have lived in the same plaice for about 27 years.

I find the idea of living in 8 plaices in the same number of years verging on the gypsy.
It means you've gone stale. I've lived in over twenty places (an exact count too boring a short task), which is enough to know that having as few things as possible is ideal. I started offloading things as soon as I dumped the wife, and the last 4 moves in that past 4 years have gone much more smoothly than those prior. I also think that means my gypsy license has been revoked, which doesn't matter since I stopped going to the meetings.

Morning.

Art noon.

I have just had cheese on toast for lunch.

True Story.

If that works then I obviously have nothing in common with those people as conversely nonstop Christian Rock would have that effect on me.

Morning.Alright, Chebus.
Enjoying the Rafatation? From what I've seen it's been a damn decent show so far.

[Mr. Mulder]

Is there a decent copy of that new Purge moviefilm out yet? Its been ages since I've frequented an illegal website.

Weird coincidence but I sent him a PM linking to the same page.

I sent it as a PM because I'm fairly sure you just broke a bunch of site rules posting it in open forum and will probably have to sit in a corner because of it.
