Oh I'm four days late but yes. The YouTube downloader also downloads audio, I didn't realize they had a separate program that only downloads audio. Weird.

What you're looking for is OnTheSpot. Just ripped my library of a few thousand a few weeks ago, went very quickly and with full metadata.

+1 for MediaHuman, if you're wanting a GUI. Super simple and powerful. It's paid software but there are cracks around.

If I buy one song from one artist off bandcamp the artist earns about $1 from me, which I can then listen to thousands of times without them seeing another cent.

Personal recommendations, NPR Tiny Desk, movie and show soundtracks, Bandcamp, record stores, Library of Congress Homegrown Concerts on YouTube, looking into any bands you like and seeing what else the members have been in.

I was thinking the same thing - it'd be nice if they could just keep doing what they're doing now since it's great, but who knows, maybe this will lead to some other great films that otherwise never would have been made. If they can maintain their quality in the big budget space, there's a relatively unfilled niche for popcorn flicks made with care and artistry.

Off the top of my head, Mad Max: Fury Road fits the description of 'big budget, action, based on existing IP' and I don't think anyone would wish that hadn't been made.

Maybe they will start producing garbage; it's entirely possible. I'd rather have a little optimism and wait to hate until it actually happens though. It'd be awesome to see what passionate and talented filmmakers like the Daniels would do with both a big budget and the creative freedom A24 has historically offered.

AI has been around a lot longer than LLMs. Intelligence can mean many different things.

Seinfeld has an arc where Seinfeld writes a show about his own life, aka the show we're watching. clip

The 30% cut Steam takes is quite a bit. Considering the near-monopoly it has on game distribution, that could easily mean the difference between turning a profit and not for an indie developer.

Personally their efforts towards things I support (PC handhelds, Linux gaming) and the convenience of the platform outweigh the things I dislike, but being frustrated by its problems is understandable when people don't really have another choice.

Interpretive pole dancing to the death? Now I'm starting to see the appeal of Star Trek

Also Jim Carrey in The Truman Show, and Will Ferrell in Stranger Than Fiction!

 

I recently started using breathing exercises for the first time in a few years when I'm feeling anxious, and they've been helping a lot. I hadn't quite realized how big of a difference actually going by time could make as opposed to just generally trying to slow my breathing - if you've never tried it I'd highly recommend it.

I'm having trouble finding the pattern(s) that work best, though. It seems to vary so much; one day one will feel claustrophobically slow and another day it's anxiety-inducingly fast, kinda defeating the purpose. But I don't want to abandon timing it altogether when my gut is apparently pretty bad at figuring out what is the right pace.

Maybe I'm just overthinking this, but I'd love to hear your opinions and experiences. Also, do you use any other physical strategies, like belly breathing?
