Lessee...

First phone was a red Samsung feature with a feature phone around 2009, 2010 or so.

First computer of my own was an old IBM thing. Don't remember the model, but it was just a simple black tower with a 16:10 monitor. 2 gigs RAM, 32gb hard drive, and a Pentium 4! It was too shit to render flashlights in HL2 Deathmatch but I played shit tons of that on it. Once it got a GPU and a 500 gig drive a while after, I clocked soooo many hours playing gmod and classic Doom on it as a kid.

When somebody contacts me out of the blue without my input, tries to sign me up to get murdered for the benefit of the military industrial complex, and reads "No, I'm not interested" as "tell me more," I become less likely to be as polite about matters. No means No, and if you keep pushing I'm gonna be as blunt as I need to be.

Last time a recruiter harassed me via text he tried to convince me of all the kickass benefits and fun of being in the military. Straight up just told him "Dude, if you put a gun in my hand, you're going to be responsible for a suicide. Not happening." For some reason he never replied.

I often buy CDs from used media shops to rip the music in FLAC format to add to my digital collection!

When half your feed becomes nothing but trousers and beans and planes, it gets really fatiguing after the umpteenth day of it in a row. It was amusing for a bit, but people have taken that ball too far for my own personal enjoyment.

If there's room we just stick 'em on the next tour, easy as. However if they cannot be rescheduled, corporate's policy is to keep the money and say "sorry, we told you it's non-refundable."

Yeah I ain't staying here much longer.

I'm in Eastern Time Zone, but work is a 5 minute drive from Central. We get a few occasions where tourists show up an hour late for their scheduled tour because of this.

"Shampaggin." I use it while explaining carbonic acid on cave tours.

Edit: Check the replies to my post for corrections and clarifications.

I'll answer your question and more.

Lossless quality: The highest quality you can practically get, where it's as close to a 1:1 recreation from the studio as reasonably possible.

Lossy quality: The audio is compressed in a manner where you get the majority of the sound, but slight, fine details are lost to lighten up on file size. Heavy compression can greatly alter overall sound quality, but it's not the early 2000s anymore, we don't need to compress music that hard to get an album or two to fit on a 128 mb card.

.wav: Lossless, uncompressed file. Full quality, full file size.

.flac: Lossless quality, but with some compression, to minmax file size to audio quality.

.mp3: Lossy compressed. Small file size with reduced audio quality.

.ogg: Lossy compressed. Basically just an alternative to the .mp3 standard.

They'd have a hard time believing it if I cheated on them with my partner. It's so diabolical and unexpected that they'll never convince anybody I cheated on them with themself!
