Never ran any tests here but the difference is so stark that I never really considered it a need.

Kinda like when I switched from SoundCloud to Apple Music. I couldn’t go back to listening to the songs I had in my SC library because it was just noticeably worse.

I’m sure there are ways to rip high fi YouTube audio but the basic options I used in the past yielded results worse than avg SoundCloud quality.

Will say it’s been a few years since trying and I never had any paid for YouTube subscription, don’t even have an account. So, while it may be acceptable, I just never had a need and if I wanted to rip music, I’d be torrenting .flac files, not ripping .mp3s from YouTube

This is cool if you’re okay with low fidelity music.

After years of lossless and headphones to distinguish, this sounds like fingernails on a chalk board.

It’s akin to using a tape deck to aux adapter in an old car or recording a tape off of an old boombox radio lol. I’d rather listen to nothing.

Have you tried not purchasing a Google phone? I heard this works extremely well.

Absolutely, it only requires you to allow a Google representative to check your pulse via fingering your asshole. It is worth noting that results and feedback of this authentication method vary based on age and sexual orientation*.

That is not what I was suggesting. It was more like oh yeah, this happens all the time no worries…

Come to find out Hertz removes the OEM installed lock nuts on each vehicle, which was starting to me. I realize there are ways to around that quickly, but why remove a simple barrier like this?

The other thing I figured out is why all hotels don’t monitor their parking lots… That is what really pissed me off.

I’ve had all of my wheels stolen before. That was an awkward teams meeting, explaining why I was not there in person. The photographs I sent into the chat made it more entertaining though.

I think the weirdest part was how nonchalant that Hertz rep was about the situation. Because this shit happens all the time

You don’t have to be ignorant about it…

Guessing you don’t have an online only bank.

Banks with brick and mortar locations will never pay as much as the former because… you’re paying for physical locations.
