Hmmm. I have been a pirate all my life. The subs either work or don't (e.g. machine translated garbage). A handful of times there's a discrepancy e.g. T2 Trainspotting. This is "official" subs from BluRay or Itunes.

The web site design is so hipsterish :) I kept looking for "install" or "download". It's in "repos".

FYI there's a couple mech keyboards with swappable switches (without soldering). IIRC they have the ugly "gamer" font that every Chinese keyboard has now.

I think of the "bro"/"brah" stereotype. Yes, almost all of the bros who fit the stereotype are male, but I've seen a few skateboard and surfer ladies who are just as "bro" as the men. If there was a t

Off Topic. If one is interested in Romanian TV shows... "Comrade Detective" was a pretty good show. There's a dubbed version available on Amazon IIRC.

I have used the following in addition to WinAmp: foobar2000 MusicBee MediaMonkey Foobar is almost perfect except the lack of crossfading and broken WASAPI exclusive mode output, which every other WinAmp clone seem to have gotten right, e.g.

At the end: nobody held a gun to your head. Both in US and Russia. Americans elected Trump. Russians "elected" Putin. IMHO each people is responsible for their leader. WRT polling, Putin had a 80%+ approval since at least Crimea (

Justin Frankel of NullSoft, WinAmp, WASTE, and now Cockos is a legend. (Also Gnutella IIRC) He has nothing to do with foobar2000, which BTW has a very poor view of FOSS. Foobar still can not do proper crossfading on track change!

There's quite a few old and freshly minted Kremlinologists who have been studying Russia their whole life that you can read. (As opposed to random strangers on this forum!) E.g.: Mark Galleotti

JASC also made "Animation Shop", a GIF editor. It won't open modern x264 files, but works fine with uncompressed video. And the GIF format just won't die thanks to hipsters. Thank you JASC and hipsters!

Just for perspective: When I hear "Berniebro".. . I think of gym bros, frat bros, New Jersey residents, surfer "brahs", and not sexism.

My mental framework to study this issue is equally simple, just a single question: Is President Trump the type of dude that would be into golden showers?

SMH. No. A girl can be a "bro" or a "dude" just as much as a guy. A group of girls can be "guys". English language is peculiar! I am just amazed nobody Godwin'd this thing so far.

One annoying thing about the people who run and use this site: they don't like comedy and especially, good puns. Try SlashDot.

OT. Because I am a pessimist and have a view that humanity will not survive that long. At least in the form where all of this shit will matter. Planet Earth will be fine, but people 8,000 years from now?...

So it is an interesting fact at least for me. I was reading recently about the attack and the very detailed planning that went into it, especially WRT timing. Also if you a "prepper"/security type dude, listening to ATC for s

There's a scene in a Homeland's episode. "Hey you are X mins late. This is Germany man!" I thought it was a bit too expositional IMHO. And of course this was set in a sex shop.

Why don't you want to be the first person? I've heard of "fashionably late", never anything about "early". IME early bird gets all the good nachos. And you can leave earlier.
