Yo dude, how's life?

I've had an ulcer on the tip of my tongue for a week now.

Might have to just quit speaking until it heals.

Yeah the roads in Ottawa in the winter are worse than some of the third world countries I’ve been in. Potholes the size of my goddamn sofa.

can't complain. good to see you around

There was some Trump arm-the-schools vid interspliced with incredulous reactions posted in my fb feed, at the end of which was a fantastic speech from a movie.  I commented asking what movie the bit was from because I had to see it.  Tons of likes for that comment, yet no one bothers to answer the question.  Quoting it in a google search didn't help.  An excerpt was: ""everyone in the room is now dumber having heard that."  Anyone know the reference?

I've never even seen that movie.

Such a good quote.  Thank you.  This will be the next movie I watch.

Billy Madison is an excellent satire that truly foresaw Trump's America. A modern masterpiece

Almost definitely the richest person in the state and probably one of the richest in this part of the country (I've been told about $200,000,000 no horseshit) came in where I work the other day and he was completely chill and unpretentious and friendly even though he'd walked there in the rain for something we weren't able to do for him.  It made it a little harder to maintain my knee-jerk classism for the rest of the day.

EDIT: only a little harder.

So I've got this album ready, with several songs that require seamless transitions where the audio overlaps between track X and track Y.  I have it so that all transitions are seamless in the wav files.  However when I upload it to bandcamp, and bandcamp encodes mp3s from the wav files... the very last transition has this fucking tick.  Does anyone know of some trick to avoid that?  I've done a lot of trial and error to no avail.  Is it just hopeless and the mp3 version of the album has to be fucked right on the last track?  

burnt the roast spuds, aka according to the family they were overdone & "poor form" for a sunday, but if they aint crispy they fail the lush test imho

vultures ate all the chicken skin too while i was carving & plating oop, ffs, only savages do that

no-one has seen the rhubarb crumble in the top oven yet, revenge will be schweeeeeet

that's annoying. did you contact bandcamp? i've found them pretty responsive for helping fix things or add features. 

I did, and thanks for the suggestion.

Keep in mind it’s easy to be friendly and personable when you can buy your way out of virtually any trouble.

Super (super duper like ~1ms) short fade out and/or fade in. Once I started doing that with my .wav files years ago I've not had such problems.

edit: not that I've had them specifically with Bandcamp ever, but just general file type conversion issues of pops/clicks like you're talking about. I've uploaded hours of music to BC and never had the problem (not that I've every downloaded the mp3s of the files that I can remember so maybe I really DO have the problem and am just unaware...????)

Yeah I recommend downloading the mp3s to be sure, because all my files are seamless on the wav and flac versions, but the tick appears on the mp3 download each time (for 1 of 5 such transitions, so pretty good success rate... but 4/5 is still 20% ruined).  I'll see about the short fade idea.  Thanks for the suggestion.

testing coding expertise using written exams is and always will be fucking stupid.

i'm going to a therapist today to talk about my ocd. i'm not looking forward to it but we'll see.

I think that's good.

If I wasn't such a goof I'd do the same (for other reasons).

Hope it's a good sesh for you.
