@ThanosReXXX@BruceCM I've never paid for a Firefox add-on before this. I was tired of my favorite app or download site not working reliably. $10 was the minimum donation, so I went for it. It only works only if I have the Firefox shield turned off, as far as I can tell. If I clear my cookies, I have to load the paid verification webpage that they sent me in an email (which i bookmarked). But it works. mp3(256 or 128 kbps) mp4 video( 360p, 720p, 1080p).
@BruceCM Put the link in your favorites, or just give me a heads up whenever you come across a video that you think is worthwhile having, and I'll send you the link again.
@WoomyNNYes Yeah, that sounds like a lot of trouble, just for a sub par or 1080p max video download. And I'd definitely never pay for that, regardless of how small of an amount. With any and all Windows-related programs,
I just search and search AND search, until I get exactly what I want, and 4K Video Downloader provides just that, in the case of being able to grab full quality YouTube videos.
What else would the use be of watching 4K videos, or even 2K, if you can't even download them in their full resolution? And even then: YouTube still uses some horrible compression algorithms, so none of the resolutions is native anyway, but I'd always want the highest available, regardless. And it looks SO good on my living room TV...
Sometimes, I just put some on a USB stick or on my external HDD, and then play them on the big screen.
My monitor does display at 1600x1200, but for some reason, it still doesn't look as good as my TV.
@ThanosReXXX Yeah, that's what I do. I'll put a bunch of videos on a usb drive for watching on tv. (this same usb drive has seasons 3-8 of The Simpsons too.)
Hey, do you by chance know of a easy to use sound editor for PC? Every once in a while I need to edit an audio file to make a ring tone. Just curious if you knew anything off hand.
Most ringtones that come on android pohnes make me tense or annoyed, so sometimes I make my own. Like, I have one of katydids. It never makes me tense. But it's easy to hear. http://entnemdept.ufl.edu/walker/buzz/media/141ss1.mp3
I did see Nero Wave Editor being mentioned in the last one, which is one I did use back in the day, when I still converted mp3's to CD audio, and I was always content with it, but as mentioned in the article, it is more for the basic user, although it does have a decent range of options.
Either way, I suppose you should be able to find what you need in at least one of those lists.
On a totally unrelated side note: bummer about the postponed launch, huh? I was REALLY looking forward to it.
So I've been slowing watching through the Runawayguys charity stream they did last month and I have to say - it's really helped save my opinion of people. Lately I've seen nothing but what seemed like an endless stream of negativity and selfishness - people more upset by not being able to get a haircut than by thousands dying unnecessarily to a horrible disease, for example. And I was starting to feel like apathy and selfishness were just the norm.
But then seeing this charity stream and so many people donating so much to help made me remember there are good people too. There are kind and compassionate people out there. And it was a very needed reminder.
It's also hilarious that people donated 6000 dollars to charity and forced them (and everyone else) to watch the Gamecube Game Boy player - with only the disk and no Game Boy game - for 30 minutes. Trolls. Generous trolls, but trolls. XD

A fox jumped off the paved trail, then sat down facing me, and slow blinked me. Doesn't that mean the fox LoVeS Me!!🤪 Ive only seen foxes while driving at night. Never while on foot/on a bike. .... or one that sits down and hangs out. Forgive the low resolution. I was fully zoomed.
Had a nightmare last night where I was waiting in a line to play VR AC in what was basically the XMen’s simulation room, and when it was finally my turn, it was nothing but frustrating inventory management, incorrect item placement, and almost every time I tried to drop something out of my pockets; there wasn’t room where I was trying to drop it. It was horrible.
@NintendoByNature - I almost picked it up last time it was on sale, but didn’t. How do you like it? How’s the roster and controls? I remember some people being put off by how you get shots and dunks. I love NBA Jam and Street, but I’ve read this is more sim than those games even though the characters are cartoonish.
@WoomyNNYes - Awesome video. People can’t see foxes unless foxes allow people to see them, so you were definitely chosen by that fox. You should try to get back to that spot from time to time because you two are friends now.
@WoomyNNYes Slow blinking in both canines and felines means a sign of acceptance or being comfortable/alright with you being around. So, if that's a trail that you're going to frequent a lot more often, chances are that you'll also see that fox more often, provided he picked up and remembers your scent. Definitely inner circle stuff, there.
@bimmy-lee Good to know. I'll make a mental note of "paths not to tread", for future reference...
And thus, we got to know each other a little better.
Which, regardless of any argument, is always a good thing in my book.
@bimmy-lee@thanosrexxx Yeah, I've ONLY seen foxes while driving at night. Never in the day like this. There was a strangely submissive, maybe even playful nature with this one. I wondered if the fox was trying to distract me from a den with cubs. But yeah, I go buy this spot on the paved trail often. I'm definitely going look around next time.
Did you say you wanted to see cows, too? 🤪This wooded, paved trail borders on a field of cows, too. Since I didn't grow up around a farm, and I'm allergic to cats & dogs (a cruel joke), I stop by the cows, especially since there are baby cows. Enjoy the calming sounds of a cow cooling off & walking through a spring fed, mud bath.
@WoomyNNYes The cows around here are noisy before and after rain. Somebody also has alpacas up the road, and there's a horse ranch too. It's the farm land suburbs.

@bimmy-lee coming from someone who sunk hundreds of hours into nba jam as a kid, and didn't have too many issues with the first one, I can tell you it's awesome, and worth the 8 bucks. The roster of course needs to be unlocked, but........MJ is unlockable! I only had 1 game growing up where i could be mj, and that was bulls vs blazers on genesis. Which wasn't the best game. I'm having a great time with It, honestly. Each game is a nice and short 3 min or 5 min depending on what mode you choose. I don't want to tell you how to buy your games but knowing your into sports, and nba jam, I think youd have fun.
@WoomyNNYes - The pasture and mudhole are definitely cow paradise right there. That’s probably a nice, free range grass fed beef farm, correct?
@NintendoByNature - Haha, MJ is in there?!? I had no idea, seems like they’d want to make that really obvious, or maybe I’ve been dense. I also played the crap out of EA’s Lakers/Celtics and Bulls/Blazers. You can win by 40 against the computer every time by simply switching MJ to center after the opening tip. The defenders don’t switch or double, and the other team’s center tries to pick him up in the back court. You can dunk from the free throw line every possession or take an open three. Works for any non center. Good times.
The only other game I’ve had with him on the roster was NBA Street Vol 2. That’s one I’d put right up there with Jam. It has at least two Jordan’s; ‘85 Dunk Champ and ‘96 GOAT. I have a memory of Wizards Jordan on the roster too, but I’m not positive. I’ll definitely consider this one after your recommendation. I really need to get SOR4 in my Switch, but I’d also enjoy some arcade basketball.
I messaged for an impromptu roundup with you and Hobbit last night in AC, but you guys must have been playing something else. I missed the message about friends online when I fired up.
@bimmy-lee yea it's really cool. I like that they also have diff versions of players. So far I've seen pistons Rodman. But they also have 98 rodman with his hair. I really think it's cool you can get the same player on different teams. There's also a season mode. Managed to win the ship in 2 days with the bulls( rose, Dunn, maarkenan) 😋. Granted, each game is 3 min, and it's a 15game reg season, along with best of 3 play offs. Nonetheless, it's still really fun.
The unlock rate isn't as easy as the first game, but I guess it's nice having a challenge.
I haven't played ac in almost 2 weeks. Been trying some other stuff to change up the pace. Guarantee I have people who left, and overgrown weeds. Oh well, I'll fire it up for the next big event, unless we want to do a weekly island visit, I would 100% get back in for some multiplayer fun with you and hobb.
@bimmy-lee Yeah, I reckon "free range" is accurate They're angus cows, and they hang out all day in a huge open field, partially wooded, and they eat the grass. Sounds about right The family sells produce there out of their own store, but I've never seen anything talk about the cows or beef. We buy corn from them every summer, but nothing has been planted in their corn fields this year - I'm assuming due to outbreak related reasons.
Fire Emblem Three Houses is my favorite game
Ashe is the best character in FE:3H
Waluigi For Smash
The game I want most on switch is a new WarioWare (Welp. we got that!)
My favorite movie is Toy Story 3
Very busy, chaotic last couple of days. Besides working, my new refrigerator showed up yesterday, which brought on some adulting. Glad that the old monster is currently in my garage waiting for my dad to haul away (when it happens). The old one functions, but I was having some issues with it. Later on I picked up some pizza, participated in raid hour in Pokemon Go, and caught three Reshiram total; it's a hard one!
After all that, I got home and found I had a couple of work emails. One...well...didn't have the best news. It took some time to process. Starting this coming Monday, most of the 400+ personnel in the company I work for, barring those most integral to internal operations, are on furlough without pay for the foreseeable future. Today it was confirmed to me that I'm one of those people. Thankfully we're still retaining our company benefits during this time, but I'll have to file for unemployment next week. First time I've had to do that, so it'll be...interesting, I'm sure.
The irony is that some restrictions around my state are starting to loosen up, but it's still one of the more locked-down states in the grand scheme of things. Unfortunately, my parent company's main revenue stream is highly reliant on restaurants/bars/etc. being open to indoor customers, none of which is allowed at this time. Some of my own team is staying on to provide support and maintenance for our own customers (Our subset of the company sort of does our own thing along with providing services for our parent company, yet many of our clients are in different areas of the country and beyond), but the rest of us are taking a mandatory unpaid vacation in the meantime. The decision was regrettably made with much thought.
My personal reaction is...mixed, to say the least. I really like the team of people I work with; honestly, this is probably the most non-toxic work environment that I've been in. I actually like my job, and believe me when I say we have enough backlogged requests to keep us busy for awhile. I'm glad that I still have a job at the end of the tunnel, but where and when that tunnel ends, I have no idea. We're hoping it's only for a month tops, but that'll depend on my parent company's calls as well more than one body of authority in IL. Part of me isn't too fussed about "time off" (yay, more hobby time!), but eventually I'm gonna get tired of sitting around my house and will long to be more productive.
