Comment I messed up a rental car (Score 1) 78

I rented a Durango back in the 90's and my brother in law brought me on a rugged off roading excursion though the New Mexico mountains. We made it but once back on the road it was clearly way way out of alignment among other issues. Returned it without any drama and never heard another thing about it.

They want you to be immersed in realistic sounds so if there is a nearby explosion or gunshot it needs to be uncomfortably loud. To contrast that dialogue needs to be relatively very quiet. It's not great for listening at home with a capable audio system at a reasonable not shake the house volume. When watching on Windows I use loudness equalization that came with the motherboard software for the embedded sound card. It's a pain to configure this in each player and streaming service so the system-wide setting is helpful. Just need to turn it off because it mangles music.

Comment Reddit is not a monolith (Score 5, Interesting) 89

I've been hanging around a subreddit for a medical condition I'm suffering from. I haven't seen anything that looks AI generated. There's essentially no spam or conflict at all. The information in the wiki is well sourced and the interaction is on topic. I've never been to one of the controversial or edgy subreddits. It's one of those sites that can be many things to different people depending on usage.

In my area (Northeast US) cars of that vintage are generally suffering from heavy rust. I gave up on my 2004 model that I loved after a series of rust related repairs was followed by another one that would have cost a few thousand. Your plan would probably work much better in a less salty area.
