urda, in What are some RSS feed clients that do not have a subscription

NetNewsWire has done me well on all my Apple things:

FrostKing, in What's an alternative to Spotify that doesn't play you the same fucking songs over and over?

I believe it’s Android only, but Innertune quickly became the best way to listen to music. Check it out :)

Nemo, in What are some RSS feed clients that do not have a subscription

Feedly has an ad-sipported option.

Touching_Grass,

The reason I’m asking is I’m trying to be more aware of supporting that type of stuff online. I don’t want to give money to any companies that put features behind behind ads or subscriptions. The end result will always be squeezing the consumer. So I’d like to avoid it if possible

Ideally for me I’d like to have a one time payment or free with donation option. But subscriptions, even with free tier just contributes to the shit net

Not all subscriptions are bad though. Some features genuinely have a cost behind them. Inoreader has a feature that lets me create feeds for websites that don’t have an rss feed. To me, that’s worth the price.

RecursiveParadox, in Where on the globe would you best be able to sail a very large ship without being detected?
@RecursiveParadox@lemmy.world avatar

Part of it would depend on whether or not it has, as required of all self propelled ships above a low threshold GRT, an AIS transceiver. If it’s got one, and it’s on, I can find the ship in seconds (access to multiple large terrestrial and satellite AIS systems at work).

But I guess if they never intend to go anywhere near Port State Control, they could just turn their AIS off. People do it all the time to violate sanctions, avoid pirates, etc.

Ok that’s a lot of info I wasn’t aware of. Thanks!!

So this ship doesn’t want to go to port so to remain as hidden as possible. I’m imagining smaller vessels would deliver supplies to the ship along its route. So any laws won’t be really an issue if no countries know about the ship.

Sounds like you’ve never trained. If you want to try kickboxing or Muay Thai you’re not going to be starting out sparring. You’ll be learning the basics. That is, of course unless you’re at some dodgy ass gym that pushes everyone to spar right out of the gate. In which case you should avoid and go to a proper gym. If you’re getting many hard hits to the head in training starting out you’re doing it wrong or your partner is an asshole. Just do it. I trained with other people in IT, I remember one guy was a C++ programmer. Stop over thinking it and go for it.

MaggiWuerze,

My girlfriend and a friend of hers went to a kickboxing lesson once and they had the student kick each other inner thigh all day. She was completely bruised up for the next week.

Getting a good gym for this is a process I guess and you shouldn’t expect to stay with your first one

That shit ain’t right! It’s sad that those wannabe gyms exist and it puts off people who would likely otherwise have a good, albeit still tough time (with some conditioning).

drphungky, (edited ) in Americans - I Need Help Choosing A Bourbon

Crazy that no one has recommended Costco’s in-house Bourbon. It’s very hard to get unless you know when it’s in stock, because it sells out in like a week, but at some places (DC for example) you don’t even need a membership to buy liquor. It’s a REALLY good Bourbon for the price. It’s a little stronger and sweeter than many bourbons in my estimation, without much bite.

My buddy is a huge Bourbon snob, we did the trail for his bachelor party, and he had a few bourbon bars set up at his wedding. It was one of the five he chose to have at his wedding, and the decision was not made on cost. He’s the one that introduced me to it, and it’s basically all I buy now, unless I’m getting something cheap for bourbon and gingers or some other mixed drink.

LilB0kChoy, in Americans - I Need Help Choosing A Bourbon

Back when I was a drinker (7 years sober now) my drink of choice was whiskey in general, bourbon in particular.

That said, the best whiskey I ever had was a bottle of Yamazaki 12 year single malt. I got it as a gift when they just entered the US market and picked up a second bottle for ~$45 at the time. Highly recommended to any whiskey drinker.

doc,

Those bottles now run north of $150, so you're better off being sober in more ways than one!

LilB0kChoy,

For sure! Though at the end of my drinking it was Ten High Kentucky as that’s all I could afford with the amount I was drinking.

Everythingispenguins, in Americans - I Need Help Choosing A Bourbon

Have you thought about giving him a rye whisky? It is still a very American style of whisky. It might be a neat treat to have something just a little different.

Turn off Automix in your settings and the Playlist work much better

deur,

Automix doesn’t do what you’re saying it does, it is only an advanced version of crossfading the end of one song and the start of another.

netburnr,
@netburnr@lemmy.world avatar

No, it isn’t crossfade. It adds random music to your Playlist. I found this fix on Reddit the other day and it made a big difference, I’m now hearing songs on my liked song Playlist that I’ve not heard in a long time.

Bitrot, (edited )
@Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

That isn’t automix, that’s smart shuffle.

Automix is only enabled on a few playlists, and not Liked songs.

If you’ve ever listened to a dance album where one song merges seamlessly into the next, automix does that. When you hear a playlist using automix it is very noticeable.

Rhynoplaz, in Circumcised men, how do you feel about your parents having mutilated your penis without your consent?

I don’t really mind.

weariedfae, in What do you think happened to the hikers in the Dyatlov Pass Incident?

Y’all, they famously used shit they learned from making the movie Frozen and pretty much modeled it exactly. This isn’t a mystery anymore.

bpm, in Lighthearted, upbeat shows for adults?

“Miracle Workers” hasn’t been mentioned yet, it has a similar vibe, romantic comedy, some mild philosophy, very upbeat. Each season is a different storyline with (almost) the same cast, so if the first season doesn’t grab you try the next. The creator had an earlier show “Man Seeking Woman” as well, that’s fun too.

ghostdoggtv, in What MMOs are you all playing?

If you watch the blizzcon talk where hozzikostas talks about the new features coming out in the next xpac, you’ll want to reinstall GW2 too.
