Trade chat (like /b/) was never great, but one of the first WoW addons I developed was designed to filter out garbage like this, and make idling with your guildies in Ironforge tolerable. It's funny for a while, in measured a

I get the sentiment, but it has to discoverable to some extent, otherwise there's no real point in publishing it on a webserver.

Your post reflects the opposite of reality, in my opinion. In the dark days of FM radio in particular, some "DJ" bought and paid for by the record labels, forced everyone to listen to the same 20 garbage songs all day long, becaus

I know how to drive a car. I usually set speed limiter to the posted speed +3km. Measured with GPS, this hits the desired speed accurately. The point in this absurd scenario is that perfect enforcement of the speed limits is asinine, becaus

In a literal sense, no. In a practical sense, yes.

>driving enough below the limit that they won't accidentally exceed it That is precisely why traffic would effectively grind to a halt. Because going even 0,0001 over the limit is so easy, you would have to turtle through traffic to

Please shred your drivers license immediately, if you at any point in your life have exceeded the speed limit by any amount, or otherwise violated the traffic regulations in any way whatsoever.

If speed limits were automated rigidly enforced 100% of the time, it would be impossible to drive. >only to allow targeted enforcement in service of harassment and oppression That's absurd hyperbole. A competent policeman will recog

I have never in my long life heard a joke from upper management during a meeting/presentation that wasn't awkward and cringe. Just get to the point - tell us how many people are getting fired, so the people who aren't fired c

Neat, but I wish this wasn't a phone app (and Apple exclusive at that). My computer already has a high quality microphone that I assume would be more suitable for this purpose.

Because our IT dept. is both incompetent and paranoid, which is an annoying combination. I keep my own X1 Carbon with Fedora in my backpack, because it's easier than arguing with them.

Yes...? Didn't stop me before. Unless it's some locked down, domain-joined e-waste like I have now. Public sector IT policy literally prevents me from doing certain tasks at my job, and makes others take four times as long. Not

Paying 2000 USD for a phone absolutely is a status symbol. And nobody actually says a status symbol is one - like nobody says look at my Rolex watch, I paid 50000 USD for it . Nobody needs a 2000 USD phone and nobody needs a 50000 USD wa

By MP4 I assume you mean AAC in MP4. I'm a bit confused by this. What emits AAC that then needs transcoding to Opus? Not that transcoding losses really matter for this application, but the pipeline is not clear to me? Very interesting
