Aw yeah! I'm so happy for them.

Let's call the whole thing gone and in mah belleh! I wish.

It proves that the rumour monger is the bigger troll? It's just macho/juvenile bullshit, and it's pervasive across the internet.

But it would presumably impart their intent, I think was his point.

You say, 'schnitzel', I say, 'tonkatsu', Let's call the whole thing off...

Damn, dude, you're ahead of me.

Happystyle Pooku Yay just for the delightful name. I mean, just think about "presentation" -- you'll be smiling before you even put them on.

Yup, the power of suggestion. ...AND IT WAS DELICIOUS. I'm definitely going back there. It's only about 20 minutes due South of me on Route 1. Very authentic, they even spoke to me in German. "Auf wiedersehen", indeed. Kudos to Yelp for picking out a good one for me.

You just watched 3 episodes in a row? Wow. I found every episode draining. (At least as far as I've gotten.)

That's correct. As I already explained, it's encoded into the bitstream, so the bitstream needs to be untampered with. Think about it, they're putting a signal that has nothing to do with the audio into the audio, so if you do anything with the signal at all (including mixing it with nothing), it's going to disappear like a thread of string in a volcano.

Oh man, Dubliner on a cheeseburger? (Hint : I love Dubliner so much, I eat it 'neat'.)

Want pork buns, now.

First of all, if it lights up, then it was encoded. It's determining whether or not to decode HDCD (the same condition that causes the light to light up) directly from the digital audio stream (the bottom-most bit, to be specific). There are a variety of encodings, that might be what is throwing you. Secondly, are you sure the "doing the opposite" thing isn't an indication of a bug -- specifically, what I interpret that to mean is that when you check 'use 24-bit-audio', you're enabling upsampling, and it might be upsampling the undecoded stream (as many DACs did, back in the day, which is why I always wanted a digital means of decoding the bitstream, like the Pacific Microsonics Model One or Two), hence destroying the encoding bit pattern? In other words, how are you confirming that the decoded stream is decoded when it's supposed to be and not when it's not (and please don't tell me, 'by ear')?

Thanks for the reminder (wanders off to buy Notes Falling Slow -- which turned out to be surprisingly cheap [US$16 for a box set worth of music] for lossless download version from their website...hour download though). In the meantime:

Happy birthday! (party favour noise)

I bet spinach is delicious in a smoothie like that. I'd rather have spinach than ice cream (lactose intolerant).

...says the non-gold-star homo who almost had a beard. Yes, I am trying to assimilate ( ) the lingo. Pip-pip and all that, guvna! Trying. Can't unthink the image, though. If it was carp, I'd be able to go back to that way of thinking, because then it's a mashup of slapping someone upside the face with a fish, and arrow to the knee, but I distinctly remember him saying 'eggplant', so I just assumed he threw in whatever random word tickled his fancy at the time.

Just understood someone's post elsewhere. Thought he was being random. Something to the effect of, [I used to be good looking...] "...until I took an eggplant to the face."

Shit, they're already on Season 6?

No, what does it symbolize as an emoji? https://www.google.com/search?q=eggplant+emoji+meaning&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 Oh. No, I didn't know that. You caught me with my pants down. ( ) I meant actual superfood eggplant. Makes a great secret ingredient in vegan-transitional ( ) chili (part meat, part vegan). I do <3 my eggplant, though, so there's that. You know what they should do next? Make it so you can superimpose emojis. Then I'd superimpose an eggplant on the facepalm, 'cause that would be some funny shit right there. What's the one for pussy? Bagel? Donut? Kitty?

RIP Sushi Condolences to you and yours And yes, 19 is a great run

I <3 eggplant.
