Heres all the things I mentioned!

Should mention you may want to learn port forwarding for using soulseek/nicotine+ to share your own files, some people wont share their files to people that aren't sharing themselves.

Soulseek

Graphical client for the Soulseek peer-to-peer network

And for editing tags in bulk:

Mp3tag is a powerful and easy-to-use tool to edit metadata of audio files.

Official website for MusicBrainz Picard, a cross-platform music tagger written in Python.

Finding album covers in high res:

Search for high quality album covers from various online streaming services, music stores and databases.

Also gonna include some music players I like:

So far as iOS goes, this is the only one that supports replaygain and doesn't have in-app purchases, no lastfm support tho:

‎foobar2000

I'm not too familiar with android but the best one I found during a time I was planning to swap to android (still am eventually) is this:

Musicolet - Offline Music Player for Android

Musicolet is a small yet powerful offline Music Player for Android, which organizes and plays local audio-files stored on your device.

[icouldshowyoumyscar]

I used OnTheSpot and it worked like a charm! Does require a Spotify Premium account to get the highest quality available (but it's worth it if you have thousands of songs to download) as it doesn't use Youtube.

[femmenietzsche]

i think my cat just accidentally sent you an anonymous ask, sorry

No, not that I saw.

Right, that's pretty much what I've been saying.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Literally going insane over how

“I would have gone with you to the end, into the very fires of Mordor.”

Is a perfect summary of all the main relationships in lotr.

The hobbits planning out Frodo’s escape before he’s even told them he’s leaving the shire. Following him every step of the way, no matter how treacherous the road becomes.

Boromir traveling across the country in search of an elf king he’s not even certain exists, just because his brother is having visions. To put his brothers mind at ease, and keep their kingdom safe.

The three hunters travel a nearly impossible distance, running days on end with next to no sleep, for two hobbits. For two dear friends.

Arwen gives up immortality to be with Aragorn. For the chance to end up in the mortal afterlife, she leaves all her people behind for her love.

Gimli leaves his home, his family, all of middle earth, to sail to the edge of the world with Legolas. With no idea of what lies in store for him there, he sails anyway.

Sam leaves the shire to sail across the sea to Frodo. Following him to the end, one last time. Unsure what awaits him besides seeing his friend once more- no matter what lies across those shores, being at Frodo’s side once more makes anything worth it.

The idea that love is going to the end, no matter what that may be or how certain it is, but journeying nonetheless. Holding tight to hope, and following those you love through it all. To the very fires of Mordor.

The best part of this is that "virgin Molotov Cocktail" would itself be a great nickname for a jar of piss

I see your piss and I raise you used tampons.

[teaboot]

Piss and blood can both be DNA tested

DNA testing is time and labour consuming

DNA is harder to definitively match when contaminated by three or more sources

PROPOSITION:

Either so many people start throwing piss that they run out of resources to pursue everyone who does it, or everyone shares The Communal Piss Bucket for maximum anonymity

I’m seeing a bunch of posts that make me think most USAmericans don’t know about The No Surprises Act.

It was passed in 2021 (thank you Biden) and essentially states that if you don’t have insurance or your insurance doesn’t cover a service you need (or want) you are entitled to a Good Faith Estimate of the cost of care. (If your insurance does cover the service, you should be able to estimate the cost of care based on your deductible and co-pay.)

As a healthcare provider who does not accept any insurance, I am very careful to not violate The No Surprises Act. Why? Because for every penny more than $400 that the Good Faith Estimate was “off” (or if it wasn’t provided), you are entitled to a refund for that amount.

Y’all. Ask for a Good Faith Estimate. Get it in writing. Compare it to what you are paying. If you are not provided an estimate or if it’s wrong by more than $400, demand a refund.

[whimsyandmayhem]

I’m reforging this for the second time in five minutes because I needed to add that part of this is also about what your health insurance provider is required to do. They’re required to tell you what your out of pocket cost will be. If you contact them and they say actually they don’t know but your copay is X%, you can ask them to call the provider and get the codes they plan to use to bill for your services. If the provider is in network they’ll have negotiated rates in place so the insurer will know exactly how much you can be charged for that service and then they have to tell you. No surprise huge medical bills even if you are insured.

[colesabi]

Adding onto this. If you have a surgical procedure that involves anesthesia, the No Surprises Act also accounts here. Most anesthesia companies/providers are OON (out of network) with most, if not all insurances. If your service is performed in an in-network facility, they are REQUIRED to bill as in-network due to this law.

[breelandwalker]

This alongside demanding an itemized bill for any and all hospital stays, surgeries, and procedures, including the outpatient ones.
