They missed a solid opportunity to slip in a

Passersby were amazed by the unusually large amounts of blood.

I'm sorry if it came across that way. I wasn't sure if you were familiar with Bandcamp, so I was just mentioning that they have a lot of "Tribute to" style albums, not just blink-182, in case you were looking for more.

I can't see the company name without thinking about this scene from Red VS Blue

Tucker: "Bungle..."

Church: "That's an i, you idiot!"

Tucker: "Oh, right! Bingle..."

Church: "BUNGIE!"

It does often seem that Tucker had it right the first time.

No, see... It was a "staffing issue"! Totally wasn't me. On my account.

The Bandcamp website has several Tribute albums to various bands. There are four "Tribute to" blink 182 albums from Pacific Ridge Records.

I'm sure you could find a bunch of other tribute albums if you search the site a little bit.

Edit: I can also recommend the Bob Dylan tribute album Chimes of Freedom.

Ok. The video is 9 hours of CSPAN. Do they not know how to link to a timestamp? The important bits start at 22:04.

Edit: it sounds like he tried this a couple weeks ago. I'm guessing it went nowhere, so he's at it again.

Keep it up!

Basically every Terminator movie after T2. They have some great "what if" premises that could add so much depth to the world, but then struggle to see the vision through is a satisfying way.

T3: Let's actually show Judement Day

T4: Let's show the turning point in the war against the machines (edit: and why people follow John Connor as leader of the resistance)

T5: Exists

T6: What if all this time travel actually branched the timeline? What would it look like if one of Skynet's terminators succeeded?

I never watched the show, but I loved the movie. Almost every character feels competent and clever, so they do at least something that surprised me. There are a few points that hinge on details that feel a bit contrived, but I appreciated that the climax wasn't just a physical fight between good guy and bad guy. The main characters have emotional problems that are believable and get resolved. Plus, it's just a little campy.

I think the "inside baseball" that you mentioned gave the world more depth. It felt "lived in".

I'll give you that the movie does try to cram a lot into the time, though. It feels a little rushed.

I'm fucking dead

I'm really sorry to hear that; it sounds like a tough loss. Would you like me to run

sudo rm -rf /* --no-preserve-root

in a mock terminal session to make you feel better?

I know more digits of pi than most people (in order, even!). I'm practically on a trans-atlantic flight already!

We might take the streets today/tonight. Be ready.

The Supreme Court told trans people they’re not worthy to serve this country. After the silence. After the sacrifice. After the service. They were told they don’t belong. That’s not just policy. That’s cruelty.

We haven’t made the call yet. But we’re close. Closer than we’ve ever been. This moment calls for something real. Something loud. Something spontaneous.

DC law ALLOWS spontaneous protest when injustice hits. And this hit hard. We don’t need permits to be in pain. We don’t need permission to take the streets.

If we move tonight, it’s because we had to. So stay close. Stay ready. We move as one.

You're the expert!

I can do absolutely anything. I'm an expert!

Is there any way to remotely get a low battery notification for my Steam Deck? I don't use it every day, and batteries don't like to sit on a charger continuously, so it might sit idle for a couple days, (relatively) slowly losing charge.

I have the Steam App on my phone, and Valve has my email address. It would be great if the Steam Deck could send out an SOS before it dies.

 
 

Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on how to create a playlist of songs from my library that have been released as "singles" or "Top 40s" across a time period?

Let's say I wanted to throw a 90s party, and I wanted to create a playlist from my library using only songs that people are likely to know. I recognize that's totally subjective, so maybe that's why I'm struggling to find what I want. I can create a playlist based on album release date, which gets me a bit of the way there, but the playlist is going to include a lot of "deep cut" tracks and whole albums that few people know. I'd rather not spend too long curating the list. I was hoping for a way to just find popular tracks, and it seems like basing it on "chart toppers" would be a good place to start. Ideally, it would be genre-independent, but limited to songs that got decent radio play, so Backstreet Boys to Korn to Shania Twain are fine. Yo Yo Ma maybe not so much.

It doesn't seem like Plex has information available in the filters to achieve that. It does have "Popularity" as an additional column header if I list my music by "Tracks", so I guess I could sort by that and limit the results to some value. It feels a little clunky, though, and I'm not sure where it's getting that information.

I know that Library Radio is a thing, but I can't seem to make it do what I want. I only have 4 stations on the web interface: "Library Radio", "Deep Cuts Radio", "Time Travel Radio", and "Random Album Radio". Clicking on them just starts playing music from a wide selection that I have no control over. I know that "Decade Radio" exists, but it doesn't seem to be giving me what I want, either. It frequently pulls instrumental tracks from movie soundtracks. I have "Smart Shuffle" enabled on my server. I'm not sure if that's helping or hurting my experience (I've seen some very mixed reviews on that feature). I also can't find "Decade Radio" on the web interface; it seems like Decade Radio is only available on Plexamp.

I'd rather just create a playlist. That way it would be available everywhere, and I could tailor it a little bit, if needed.

So, yeah... any tips? It seems like the "filter by decade, sort by popularity, and limit by count" might be my best option right now.
