War for the Planet of the Apps would be a terrible movie.

I remember reading Jay saying that forum traffic dips in the summer and then rebounds in the fall. That’s not what I would expect, and it definitely didn’t seem that way for me last summer. Maybe this is a more typical year; after all, I’ve only been here for one.

You posted so much last summer that I imagine you skewed the stats a bit off from normal. Perhaps.

Sorry for my rudeness earlier possessed, must have been an agravating day at the office.

Puggo, your plans sound fine to me. And if a future higher quality release ever happens I would certainly be interested in that as well. 😀. Your releases so far have been quite a treat to see, and I thank you for them.

Yeah but what if we don’t count posts that are just agreeing with other posts?

I agree

The casual viewer is all like “wait, what the hell is going on and why are good actors acting so poorly and why am I watching a 2 hour video game anyway?”

^ still this

have you ever shown the prequels to non-star wars fans? they all think they are poor movies. especially episode II, it is so boring that you can’t even find another complaint worth making, it is just boring.

and i mean adults, children will enjoy all kinds of terrible trash.

True, but i expect some children to not be quite as exemplary as yours (and mine too of course, as any good parent, i consider my child to be the best)

I’m surprised that that was available.

you are?

Sounds intriguing. How was it?

It was probably better backwards anyway.

Anybody else tired of winning?

Trump predicted this:

“We’re going to win so much. You’re going to get tired of winning. you’re going to say, ‘Please Mr. President, I have a headache. Please, don’t win so much. This is getting terrible.’ And I’m going to say, ‘No, we have to make America great again.’ You’re gonna say, ‘Please.’ I said, ‘Nope, nope. We’re gonna keep winning.’

Could you not just slightly lower the bit rate for rotj to make room? And for mpg2 I highly, HIGHLY recommend hcenc. It’s free and gives fantastic results. And it has an option to where you just set max bitrate and desired file size and it will calculate the avg bit rate automatically and get very close to the filesize you desire. It works great and I even use it for blu ray encoding because it’s so easy and its encodes are as good as h264 at high bit rates. (Obviously at lower bit rates h264 will always win but at high rates I don’t see much difference)

What do you think might be a reasonable average bitrate for acceptable quality?

Well I primarily work with hd so I’m not sure. My best bet would be to pick a decent max bitrate then tell it how big you want the file to be and let it figure out the average for you.

Dvd has spec’s you know. Limit to Max of 9.8 Mbps. I suggest puggo just author this the same as the others, that way we get a consistent set 😎

I was going to complain about the missing hub cap but then I saw it.

Fixed for me

nuts, i was going to try to do something with that as well. what a curious way to flip out over a little joke.

I hope he, and the two officers that witnessed this and didn’t say anything, get punished to the fullest extent of the law.

The NPR article i read on this was a little more fair to the officers, i mean, it is possible that they did find it, but then restaged it with the body cam on. (doubtful though).

in any case, this is certainly true: “Officers should not be able to decide when to turn the cameras on and off […]” Levi said.

Just saw this. Gary Kurtz showed the original SW on the big screen last week?

*edit - the event was in London. Interested to know what exactly he screened.

interesting, i too am curious if anyone knows more details.

i had to click that just to see what she doesn’t.

HAHA, probably she just didn’t want to speak to Trump. i have tried using that excuse before when traveling. “no english”

I see commercials for those all the time.

you must watch Matlock

Yay! 😃 Glad to hear things are working out for you.

grab a stool ender, and we will catch you up

I already know how those posts turn out.

only if you have one of those fancy time machines with extra memory retention. otherwise you travel back in time, but don’t remember anything from the future. basically, time travel is real, we all already traveled back in time, that is why we are the only sentient beings around. but we all made a huge mistake and traveled economy - so no memory retention. we don’t even know that we are from the future.

OMG! **Spoiler alert: Most homeless people on the street are time travelers from the future. And the sad irony is, all of them went back and prevented major catastrophes before their memory faded.

haha

TV’s Frink said:

I’d argue it’s more fun, but less relevant.

and i’d agree. we can end it here though. it was fun while it lasted.

Possessed said:

If it’s bad he can just say "I’ve made a huge mistake"and move on.

LOL 😃

Our only hope is to have ESB:R released so that we can experience the one thing we traveled back in time to experience, and make all of this time travel business worthwhile.

Last day of vacation was today, the plan was to receive shipment of new washer and dryer to replace ancient and broken units, and use my day off to get them installed.

Well, i used my day off, and received them, but they are not installed. The damn dryer is being a bitch to get the duct hooked up to, the connection coming off the dryer is tapered and i can’t seem to get my clamp tight enough to grab it. God, and that was going to be the easy one.

Washer still isn’t fully unpacked, and i was going to run a new circuit to power it instead of sharing the basement outlets, only to find that i can’t put a tandem breaker in my box, because it doesn’t support them, even though a previous electrician did (he must have modified the breaker to fit it in, WTF?). i don’t feel like doing that, since the whole reason to run this was to make sure that if something went wrong electrically, the manufacturer couldn’t try to blame it on the wiring. Of course, i had already installed the outlet and run all the wire… sheesh. ripped it all down again. thankfully it is an unfinished basement so it isn’t too hard to run wire, or remove it.

now i get to do it all again tomorrow after a day back at work.
