  5. Tulsi is not and never was "my girl". Maybe one day you can see a therapist and show him/her where on the doll big, bad bernorange touched you. Your kneejerk reactions to everything I post are kind of sad really.
  6. Skimmed through the older posts in this thread since it was bumped. Saw these comments: Back when these comments were made, the neoconservatives were advocating (or trying to influence) foreign policy in the GOP. Now they are besties with the Dems. They really don't care what umbrella they use as long as it rains blood.
  7. Some random thoughts from my walk this morning: - I don't like curved driveways. Why do some developers insist on curving a driveway when it is possible to pave a straight line? - People who park vehicles on their driveways where the driveway overlaps the sidewalk path - especially when they have unused alternative space on the driveway to park - deserve a special place in hell. Living at the end of a cul-de-sac does not exempt peeps either. - When I was a kid, I could easily spend a day walking around residential home construction sites looking for treasures (soda bottles that could be returned to the store for a few cents, aluminum cans for recycling, etc.). I walked by a lot of residential new home construction this morning and had zero desire to explore any of the floorplans for the homes that were framed and open, but that was mostly because it was dark and I didn't want to risk stepping on a nail or something. - I saw a neighborhood where many of the homes had the same cookie cutter detached garage that looked like a big barn - a two car garage door with a large carport in front of the door. The carport ceiling was the floor for a second story attic/loft that extended back down the length of the garage. It looked like a barn that had half of the first floor side walls cut out to make a carport. The roof was gambrel shaped just like you'd expect on a barn. The ridiculous thing was, the homes that were related to these garages were often single story ranch houses so the garage was taller than the home or they were two story but with typical gable roofs so the garage roof and house roof looked odd right next to each other. - As I entered one of these new subdivisions where most of the homes were still under construction, I saw a realtor's "for sale" sign in a yard for a home that was owned/occupied. That poor bastard must have lived in that house for just a few months. I wonder if there is a problem with the house, or if s/he's got to move because of work/job. Either way, good luck to them selling their slightly used home when prospective homebuyers likely have several homes to choose from with the exact same floorplan that are still under construction and can be finished with their choice of flooring, etc.
  8. Silver is likely going to test $35 (again) today. If it breaks through, it's likely going to run up to at least $40, possibly $50. It seems like the squeeze is finally happening.
  9. If you want to get in shape, you probably need to set your goals higher than 5 hexes a day. You've got to move it, move it...
  10. Some years ago, Texas fans sat quietly while zebras repeatedly raped student athletes at the behest of conference big wigs so they could send their buddy Grant Teaff off in to the sunset with a win. Sitting quietly and ""enjoying rape" is a losing Clayton Williams strategy. Instead of trying to penalize the fans that were protesting an egregious error, the SEC should be reimbursing them for their lost beverages.
  11. I thought the Dillo Pad rage was over a trailer parked in front of his house, not a car.
  12. SEC officials want to fine Boston because the locals there threw some tea into the harbor a few years ago when they were mad over some tax issue.
  13. Waiting on @Superhero to verify that he sold his silver...
  14. Gold above $2,700 and silver with a strong move today. GSR down to ~80. Werewolves gonna be nervous next week as we approach Halloween...
  15. That's probably because I have not posited any opinion. This is a DT thread and I'm sharing an evolving story about alleged media bias in the NYT's reporting. YMMV.

  17. That's odd. I logged in with my email address instead of username. Maybe try contacting them for tech support? They have a contact form on this page: https://www.silencio.network/contact
  18. ??? You should be able to log in to your old/previous account. Just do a password recovery if you don't remember it. That's what I had to do.
  19. Was walking before sunrise this morning in a new neighborhood when I spotted some sidewalk chalk writing on a driveway. It was dark so I couldn't initially make out what it said. It caught my eye though, so I stopped to take it in. Written in very fluid cursive (looked like a female's handwriting), the words announced: "OU still sucks!" I laughed.
  20. Lol. If the NSA wants to listen, they dont need me to install an app. Also, Silencio isn't actually saving audio recordings. It's just saving the decibel level data.
  21. Open your phone's settings and go to the list of apps. Click on the Silencio app and there should either be an option to update/upgrade or a button/link to open the app in the Google Play app/store where you will subsequently find an option to update/upgrade the app.
  22. Silencio rolled out v2 of their app yesterday. This morning I used it quite a bit on my morning walk. They totally revamped the UI for the app and as someone used to the old app, it took a bit of experimenting to figure out how to navigate the new system. I've compiled a few thoughts about the new app: The Good The live map display while recording works great and is very helpful for capturing hexes that I missed in previous sessions. This is the best enhancement in the new app IMO.The display of the timer is now presented in high contrast black letters with a larger font and its much easier for me to read without a pair of reading glasses. This might not matter to you younger folks whose near/reading vision is still sharp, but in my case, this is a huge quality of life issue.They expanded the number of "quests" (now called achievements) that you can earn. It's a small thing, but it's nice to be rewarded for achieving occasional milestones.They got rid of that sometimes frustrating "pick one of three multiplier rewards" system when finishing/claiming a recording session. They now have a "Vegas one armed bandit slot machine style scrolling wheel". I see that the wheel includes a 100x multiplier in it (which I missed by one tick once). The Bad On my phone, the display of the overlay with the decibel levels clips into the "your current position" marker on the map so I can't see hexes behind me at all or to the sides (partially clipped). They need to allow us to minimize that overlay to make the live map easier to use when you are going for unclaimed hexes in an area you've previously traversed.If you want to apply a bonus multiplier to your earned coins from a recording session now, you have to watch an ad first. I suppose this could be a good thing in the long run for the health of the Silencio project, but it is annoying for someone that is trying to maximize their recording time and phone battery life. I chose to watch ads several times and so far have seen a couple very short (~5s) ads for Kraken and a few longer ads (~15s) for "CTsomethingorother". The Ugly I don't know if it's the app or my phone, but I'm unable to record a venue check-in presently. When I select that option and then select the nearby venue, the app shows a screen with recording info (decibels, record time) and then freezes. It doesn't record anything. If I click to abort the session, I get a confirmation pop-up that has two options to cancel the abort, but no option to confirm the abort. I have to close the app completely and restart to reset to the main screen.I thought this app was running more stable than the previous app. I successfully recorded several sessions >20min each. But on my way home, I had a recording that was running on 17min. When I checked it again a minute or so later, the app had crashed and I lost the recording. I had to restart the app several times as it would not start a new recording session - just gave me "something went wrong" error messages over and over - until it finally started working again.
