i can! :p

If I copy/paste my original post, it looks like this:

I’m going to start listening to the Discworld series on audiobook, but I encountered a problem: Terry Pratchett didn’t use chapters in most of his books. I’ve been chapter-splitting all of my audiobooks and importing them into my Plex Media Server, but I feel awkward making entirely arbitrary breaks in a book. I don’t even know what I would name each section, and I almost feel like not having any breaks at all because the books don’t. However, The Light Fantastic is 6+ hours long.

I haven’t decided what I’m going to do.

Leave it as one file, you can always resume where you left off in plex… not sure i see the point?

Weird Symbols

So, this issue has never hit me, until now as i was lightly poking fun at the fact that it did not affect me.

I Quoted this post

Then i took that garbled text, decoded it because i wanted mine to look “fixed”

https://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/

pasted that cleaned up text in my post editor, and clicked preview, and BOOM, it is broken in the preview and in the text box now.

What You Meant

not that i don’t trust you, but i would rather hear from a Tuesday professional. Tyrphanax what do you say?

I agree with Frink’s position on this Tuesday-related subject.

I didn’t think it would take you until Tuesday to reply, but better late than never I guess.

4K restoration on Star Wars

Hayden is definitely the most noticeable change in the long term (so far!) since all it takes to recognize the incongruity is the fact that the Original films are much older than the Prequels. Perhaps going forward with petitions and awareness-raising messages, it would be good to highlight this change above others as an example of pointless revisionism.

yeah, i think that is the only change that stands out to even the most oblivious viewer, and strikes them as both wrong and pointless.

those interviews are not flattering. also this:

Chuck Grassley
Well, they can’t even file. They have to check the rates real high if they don’t know what the government policy is. And so the certainty is that passing a bill gives the health insurance companies certainty.

Jeff Stein
Wouldn’t not passing a bill also do that?

Chuck Grassley
No, it … well, yeah — it gives them certainty that you’ll have a lot higher rates than if you pass the bill.

Jeff Stein
So you’re saying [the bill] will lower the rates?

Chuck Grassley
Um, if you’re talking about lowering the rates from now down, no. The rates could be way up here. [Points to sky] And if they — if we get a bill passed, it maybe wouldn’t go up or would go up a heck of a lot less than they would without a bill.
