Boy they sure do protect their own, don't they.

I get you, but it doesn't clearly indicate the angle in the middle at the base as much as it suggestively waggles its eyebrows towards 90⁰, it could just as easily be 89.9999999999999⁰, although upon zooming in, you can see the line does shift one pixel over on its way up. You simply can't trust any of the angles as 90⁰ unless it's got the ∟ symbol (that's the official unicode) or you've measured them yourself, and with that one pixel off-set, it's decidedly not 90⁰. That's why you have to do the math.

I feel your pain. It seems these apps have been built by monolinguists, and the language preference/requirement you mentioned are more of an afterthought than, for example, quality/resolution preferences.

For subtitles, at least, a bilingual family needs to have two separate instances of bazaar.

Of course, that's less than ideal when you start talking about two entire video files when all you want is an additional audio stream.

I'll be checking back here hoping you'll find a solution.

Just a reminder here about how strict these leagues' social media policies are. My wife was reduced to tears when called by a furious board member (or some kind of management or head coach) over her tame comments online about being disappointed after a practice. My wife was told that we would be sent to tribunal over the matter.

Ditto. We went from having five channels, one snowy on a bad day, plus a bonus 6th channel when the stars aligned, to two channels at best.

The broadcasters and regulators took a basic fact about digital signals "We can get a better quality signal with less transmission power" and saw it as a challenge to set up their digital transmitters with the most conservative estimate of minimum power required. I haven't studied well enough for my amateur radio exam to know if I'm comparing apples to oranges, but I'm still shocked to see descriptions of transmitter power go from 100kW in one case to below 20kW.

Too bad Hindi isn't listed. I've found many a "Hearing Impaired" subtitle stream listed as such.

I still don't see where it says not to report crimes.

clergy must obey civil reporting requirements where they live, and that their obligation to report to the church in no way interferes with that.

"...thanks to advances in stem cell research and the fine work of Doctors Krinsky and Altschuler, he should regain full reproductive function again."

I don't understand what's wholesome about a single household needing to pay for multiple accounts to simultaneously stream, but all the more power to you.

My man J.C. doesn't tiptoe around when it comes to kiddy diddlers.

It shouldn't be a surprise. This is most likely directly related to today's readings, which includes this verse from the Gospel of Mark, chapter 9 [NRSV]:

^42 “If any of you put a stumbling block before one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be better for you if a great millstone were hung around your neck and you were thrown into the sea."

I'd argue it doesn't accurately show the relative value at a cursory glance. The chart shows the area under the curve having decreased over 90%, but when looking at the y-axis, you can see that initial assessment was misled.

In a speculative industry like finance, shouldn't we try our best to make charts less... alarmist?

Yeah. At least use our provincial symbol. Saskatchewan is the land of the living skies, and North West Territories & Nunavut share the polar bear. Let them have the aurora and polar bear.

Edit: nevermind about the bear. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/polar-bear-official-emblem-manitoba-1.6204962

I agree, it's infuriating.

Probably people who have heard of these scientists being recently credited for their work.

The phrase "all the credit" is a bit sensationalist, and it's too easy to poke holes in, although I do concede that "Most of the credit" is vague and "All of the Nobel Prize recognition and prize money / peer accolades" is a bit too wordy.

It's important that we don't weaken the cause by easily disprovable exaggeration. These scientists did not get nearly enough credit; true.

A very important thing that is missing from these and modern ID cards is "preferred name" because there are so many people who at best ignore and at worst get irate when they are called by their legal first name in every new interaction yet don't bother to change it.

I'm not talking about all the "John Richards" out there who are called "Jack" or "Dick" by their loved ones who have bene given permiasion to use those common nicknames, I'm talking about the obstinate ones -- although having a preferred name would definitely accommodate them as well.

About the PIN thing -- I was confused too, because they never bother explaining to anyone. What actually happens is their system automatically e-mails you a new verification code (not a pin, if you ask me) while you're on the phone, and you need to remember to check whichever e-mail account that is and continuously refresh until it comes up.

It doesn't help that e-mail, like SMS text messaging, while being very fast is absolutely NOT an instant communication method. There can often be delays receiving a message with those technologies due to how they're designed.

They all have their quirks, but until airsonic-advanced catches up with the latest opensubsonic API, I've been trying out Audinaut, DSub, and Ultrasonic. I had to reorganize my whole library, though.

I'm not a fan of these album-based apps. most of my music falls under "Various Artists". As such, I've been playing around with Musicbrainz Picard to try different tagging in an attempt to try to find something that works across both at the server and client end.

Subsonic doesn't work for me, I'm guessing because it refuses to fall back to earlier versions of their API. I could be wrong.

While this no doubt could have unforeseen legal consequences, I like the attitude of possibly recognizing the rich aboriginal history in at least parts of mother earth as a person as a means to practice good environmental stewardship.
