I sent in a terrible question, about Taylor Swift, that I immediately regretted sending. Thank God you guys didn’t take that one.
Is this time travel? You guys said it was June again….
Apple music integrates iTunes match in the form of the icloud music library. When you turn that on it will scan your music in the same way as iTunes match does and let you integrate your music and the music you save from the service. iCloud music library is included in the price of apple music.
what do you use on FreeNAS to stream your music?
Thanks for answering my question!!
I was just dealing with Looney Tunes on my plex server, and was able to get it working well as a TV show. The key was using the year as the season number rather than the real season number. i.e. Looney Tunes – S1944e17 – Hare Force.mkv
Basically make sure the season/episode match exactly what is in theTVDB: http://thetvdb.com/?tab=seasonall&id=72514&lid=7
For doing the mass renaming of the files, I’ve been using filebot. It works great for old cartoons without strict seasons/episodes etc. (Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, Duck Tales, Tiny Toons, etc)
In regard to Will talking about ASIMO and the typical bipedal robot’s gait:

People were taking the selfie sticks on rides, hence the ban at Disney.
Every time I saw someone with a selfie stick, I had to almost physically stop myself from taking it away from them and breaking it. Good for ComicCon and good for Disney.
Have fun! I am finishing my 8th album this month, so I will have to take a selfie while a drone crashes into a Steinway piano.

Will has a tendency to botch the dates on these things.. 😅
Haven’t posted in years, but what the hell? They glossed over the arcade cabinet when asked about unfinished projects. Did the thing turn into a pile of flaming rubble? It’s killing me over here!
Dude, I love attempted time travel!

You guys steered that guy way wrong on the Pentax question. I’m a part time pro photographer who shoots Pentax. I stuck with Pentax because I had the exact situation he had. I had a K1000 and a bunch of great lenses. I didn’t want to reinvest in an entire new lens inventory when I went digital. No matter how good the converter, there will always be some degree of image quality loss. Not something you want to do for your entire lens inventory. Typically, with Pentax, you can get the same or better quality gear for a much lower price than Canon or Nikon. I still shoot a K5, which I love, that I purchased for a fraction of the price of the Nikon I was considering with equivalent or better features and quality. Dynamic range in particular seems to be better with Pentax. With Pentax, you can easily find great older glass for a steal in thrift stores or online. Some of my favorite lenses I picked up for under $20. Nikon and Canon don’t have the same backwards compatibility. Lenses for Pentax are in general much more affordable. For example the Limited series primes are incredible lenses and are all <$1000. For Nikon or Canon you will easily spend thousands and thousands of dollars for anything beyond kit lenses. Unless you want the video features of Canon, or the lens catalog of Nikon, Pentax is a great choice. You can pick up a K3, a lower professional level body, for only $100 more than the consumer T5i (for which you would still have to buy lenses or an adapter) you mentioned.
