That depends. Are you looking at preserving the music without loss of information? Then you need to use a lossless format like flac. Formats like aac, mp3, opus can throw away information you’re less likely to hear to achieve better compression ratios. Flac can’t, so it needs more storage space to preserve the exact waveform.
You can use a lossy format if you want. On most consumer level equipment, you probably won’t notice a difference. However, if you start to notice artifacting in songs, you’ll need to go back to the originals to re-rip and encode.
OMG, it’s an actual Jesus themed spirit board. 🤣 The instructions are just divine:
How to use the Holy Spirit Board
The Holy Spirit Board is the only board that you and your friends can use to communicate directly with our Lord and savior Jesus Christ either in a group or by yourself!
Place the game board on a table or other sturdy, flat surface.
Place the Magic Cross on the board.
Have everyone lay thine hands upon the Magic Cross, and say the following prayer:
Next, ask Jesus a question. It can be any question you want! Jesus knows everything!
Let the Holy Spirit guide your hands to move the Magic Cross around the board. You can ask a “yes or no” question, or, let the Magic Cross spell out your answer one letter at a time!
When Jesus has answered all your questions, don’t forget to say goodbye!
And remember: anyone who says the Holy Spirit Board doesn’t work is both a liar and a sinner in the eyes of our Lord. Amen.
Edit: there’s even a website with a video promoting it:
The keming is only mildly annoying. The greater sin was someone trying to be clever rather than thinking about how people read text. They deserve a smack with a clue-by-4.
For those who don’t see it: If you work hard. Then you play hard.
Also, the additional period to break the sentence up. They seriously could use a double smack.
So soon enough I’ll be moving into a small studio and was wondering. Would a long LED strip through my Studio be cheaper than the actual lights? For sure I’d know their gonna be more fun but looking for an alternative to save money on electricity.
LEDs are diodes; so, yes they need DC power. They don’t necessarily need a transformer. Modern bulbs use an integrated circuit with some discrete components that handle the conversion. Some cheaper bulbs use a capacitive dropper circuit with a bridge rectifier; they’re not as efficient. The really cheap ones omit the capacitor in the rectifier; they flicker.
When I took electronics, transformer meant a pair of coils of wire wrapped around some magnetic material. Their purpose is to step the voltage up or down. You still need components to convert from AC to DC. The easy way to do that is a rectifier with a capacitor that holds the charge.

Hiya, just quickly wondering how people store their coffee? Mine is in a tin box I got second hand, cos I thought it looked nice. Any rules regarding storing grounded coffee?

Project 2025 is a plan spearheaded by Heritage Foundation, a Christian Right juggernaut, for controlling (and in some cases dismantling) federal agencies in the event that a Republican wins the presidency.
I think he means he wants the kind of furry that hell would draw a line at. “Hey man this hell and everything, but we got standards. You can’t do that here. You gotta go.”
Around 100 protesters were arrested on Saturday at a pro-Palestine encampment at Northeastern University, but not the one whose hate speech got everything shut down.
The first thing everyone heard was “Trump trial” and “man sets self on fire”. The news media was mostly covering the trial in a live stream format which didn’t help get the whole story out. Now that’s its been a few hours, a more complete picture is forming.
Mental illness is a hell of a thing. Especially when it leads to self-harm.
After reading a few articles, this is someone suffering from a bad case of mental illness leading them to conspiratorial thinking and self-harm. He picked the trial purely for attention. It’s all quite sad.
I question whether or not Tesla will be around in 3 years. The Cybertruck has been one giant cash sink that has delivered a giant rusty lemon. They cancelled their latest consumer grade car. Their next product is robo-taxis and that’s with a history of driver death from their self-driving tech. And the major car brands have caught up or are at Tesla’s heels.
CoS doesn’t worship Satan either. They’re just Ayn Rand libertarians dressed up with ritual. They’re basically atheists like TST but on the other side of the political spectrum.
