I dunno like I get the appeal of cultivating and sharing playlists for a lot of moods and activities but Spotify rips my data a new rear end in a top hat when I'm on the road and the interface is super clunky and it's just easier to use MP3 still

I'm as tight as a scottish fish's arsehole but still decided to fork out for spotify cos it's really good. I don't bother with usbs or the radio or any of that malarkey any more.

Malcolm Turnbeug posted:i refuse to pay for spotify, i dont think i paid 15 bucks a month for music when it was physical media and cost 30 bucks a CD. Is there a way to block ads on a phone or am I really the cheap one here and 15 bucks isn't that much for theoretically a reasonable selection of music from the last 500 years or we but I actually just listen to the same four spiderbait albums I already own. The carplay thing intrigues me but I don't think any of those doodads are compatible with older vid systems If you only listen to a small selection then yeah it makes way more sense to just rip the physical media and load the songs onto your devices (or SD card in your case.) The main benefit of spotify and similar services comes either if you listen to a broad range of music, or if you want to be able to dive down a rabbit hole of new stuff.

spotify has basically every album I have ever listened to, and it has all the stuff I haven't listened to yet. Its really quite impressive if you actually like listening and finding new music on a regular basis and have a decent sized library that you don't want to sit on your hard drive until the end of time. Also its algorithms for giving you new music and creating playlists for you is really impressive. I'm not sure if it has the wedding singer soundtrack on it though

Spotify's ability to find new music for you is very cool. Not all the streaming services are as good. I'm a youtube music subscriber, and Google's recommendation engine is completely hopeless. I'm talking years behind what Pandora was doing 10 years ago levels of hopeless.

I like spotify but I found it missing several albums that I want to listen to. I ended up switching to Google Play Music which has all the same poo poo plus it lets me upload my own MP3s and makes them available on all my devices. I preferred the interface and automated playlists for Spotify but I'm not going to pay for both. edit: The Dirtiest Harry posted:This is a really good point.

I spent most of my car time with my nan when i was young and a tina arena - sweet sorrento moon tape was in that car for it's entire lifespan. my car has had downward spiral cd in it since i got it and I've never ejected it, 16 years. there's some music for everyone that is timeless and never gets old.

my dad has always played classical music in the car. Not even interesting stuff, like straight up Kill Da Wabbit type stuff. Whats the point of buying these sweet cars if you don't play any good driving music.

I have a sweet arrangement with my Mrs and some friends: Mrs pays for the Netflix account I pay for the Disney Plus account Mrs sister pays for the Stan account Mrs best friend pays for the Spotify Family account I also pay for crunchyroll because I'm a loving weeb and watch JoJo and not much else lmao but yeh it costs me like $9 a month for subscription services and it's great. Worth doing something similar with other friends Also there's a slowly growing Ausgbs isolation playlist linked on the discord and if you cunts can add to it that'd be grouse

anti-magic posted:I really really hope people do the right thing despite restrictions easing up but I can't help but be extremely pessimistic and think another spike is coming because of this. Gov seems to have conflicting viewpoints that either community elimination is impossible/impractical or will just happen and are prepared to play an extended game of whack-a-mole with this. We'd need to do a lot wrong for it to get out of hand but if the numbers do start to rise again not having a crack at elimination now by targeting a few hotspots a bit longer is going to look like a missed opportunity. It's hard to believe we're in such a good position, early/mid march Morrison was telling people to go to the football, we had 100,000 at the cricket, nearly held the Grand Prix (let a bunch of Italians and Brits enter the country for it) released a plague ship. Truly the Homer Simpson of countries.

well why not posted:shut up losers just post better. Good post dude. I'm stuck at home, playing Backgammon with the family. I'm about 7 games in front. I think 29 - 22 currently. So, I thought about how to make a loaded dice. I got some dice from the discount shop (你好 - nĭ hăo). I want to make the dice land on six (6), so I'm drilling holes in the dice and filling it with lead (Pb). Then liquid paper to cover it up, sandpaper, and use a black marker to make the spots. I hosed it up 'cos I drilled the six side. Now it lands on one (1). It looks completely normal. Which is cool for loving craps I guess, but we don't play that here. The trick is to make the 1 (one) side heavier. Now it rolls 6 (six).

Dice (singular die or dice[1]) are small, throwable objects with marked sides that can rest in multiple positions. They are used for generating random numbers, commonly as part of tabletop games, including dice games, board games, role-playing games, and games of chance. A traditional die is a cube with each of its six faces marked with a different number of dots (pips) from one to six. When thrown or rolled, the die comes to rest showing a random integer from one to six on its upper surface, with each value being equally likely. Dice may also have polyhedral or irregular shapes and may have faces marked with numerals or symbols instead of pips. Loaded dice are designed to favor some results over others for cheating or entertainment.
