Politics 2: Electric Boogaloo
Time

At least it’s somewhat difficult in Illinois. I can’t get a gun for 5 years because I admitted to a doctor that I had suicidal thoughts. I’ve never been convicted of any crime much less a violent one.

And they are right for that too because I would absolutely be dead right now if I could have gotten my hands on a gun.

I know we are talking about homicide and not suicide though and that’s different.

Yhwx you really need to let the “Yhwx speak” thread Die, as it’s humor has long run out. We’ve had enough nonsensical posts about you getting lunch and dinner without bumping the thread to run it by us again. Much like the Possessed Speak thread which died when my swipe app started actually learning, the yhwx speak thread needs to die for not being funny anymore.

MPEG-2 is horribly inefficient by today’s standards

Not as true as you might think. At low bitrates yes of course. But at bluray level bitrates the difference isn’t so big.

Meaning a 5 gb mpg2 feature will pale in comparison to a 5 gb h264 feature, but a 22 gb mpg2 compared to h264 the difference wouldn’t be quite so apparent.

So yes I guess by definition that does make h264 more efficient, but when you’re talking a Blu ray sized file it doesn’t make a huge difference. I’ve authored a few Blu rays using mpg2 and they look fine even projected into a 120 inch screen as long as the average bitrate is a minimum of about 20 mbps, max at about 30.

The Place to Go for Emotional Support
Time

I’m so overwhelmed with life I seriously feel like I can’t bear it. I so badly want to shut it off but I can’t. I can’t relax. I can’t sleep. I can’t eat. I can’t shut the thoughts off.

I’m 11 days without alcohol still but that isn’t even the problem. I don’t feel cravings or temptations to drink at all. It wouldn’t make me feel any better, my problems are with real life and it’s almost too much to bear. I’m sure the recent quitting of alcohol is making me feel overall worse since actually feeling so much is new but I don’t even care I don’t need a drink, I need my life back. I don’t want to keep living with this pain.
