Opus is what I’m encoding my working library to. I like ripping to flac (and archiving them as such), but the advantages to smaller file sizes for the working library are worth it for me. So far, I’m really liking the format.

I keep the archive on spinning hard drives, but the opus library on ssd (which makes browsing much quicker, and no unnecessary spinning up the hard drives.)

As far as I’ve read, the database is largely low bitrate files, and some AI. The value here is metadata and preservation of “rare” music.

I agree the “harm” is small. But when the benefit is zero and the harm non-zero, the author is wasting our collective time.

I’ll never not downvote comments that unnecessarily use characters like “Þ” instead of actual words.

Citing the “start” of Wall•E is so specific, and it’s wrong. These characters are kinda infamously only in the second half.

You’re stuck in a loop here.

I wouldn’t ask you to back up your claim because the Jags are doing well.

Again, you can’t prove a negative. And the burden of proof (or at least credible evidence for) is on the person making the claim.

You’re making the claim. Back it up.

Can I prove what?

No, but that alone doesn’t affect if they will be in the future.

They are also different people each year.

The Cowboys have played in almost as many super bowls as any team, but if you bet on them to win this year you should have your head examined.

They’re 10-4, first in their division, 3rd in the AFC. They’re not my first choice to win the Super Bowl, but I wouldn’t bet against them either.

I’m not sure a simple “what is your evidence” is coming at you hard. But okay…

if you said that I would see they have a very good record right now (evidence) and wouldn’t wonder why you are saying that.

If you claimed the Titans were going to win, I would indeed wonder and ask for your reasoning.

Evidence can’t prove a negative.

I have no idea what today’s economy would look like under Harris, but I’m not the one making a claim.

On what evidence do you support that theory?

Or better yet, ditch Google altogether.
