Please do not be alarmed, we are about to engage the nozzle.
My tech skills are rusting horribly but I tried to briefly take a look at this…
I’m seeing the same behavior with the Firefox save-as file extension being .m4a vs the displayed URL showing .mp3.
Opening either extension in VLC and viewing the codec info (Tools->Codec Info / Ctrl+J) shows the actual encoding to be ‘MPEG AAC Audio (mp4a)’.
I didn’t try grabbing a file from the torrent, but if I use the media tab in Firefox ‘Page Info’ (Ctrl+I) to “save as” the embedded IA player file it suggests a matching .mp3 extension with the displayed address (but the codec is still mp4a).
The main thing I’m not following is what you mean by having parse errors in Mp3tag. So far I haven’t seen any metadata included in either the .mp3 or .m4a downloads (I only tested the first file), they both play audio fine, and if I browse to their directory in Mp3tag (vers. 2.57) it doesn’t seem to show anything unusual to me (empty metadata, no error/alert messages). What exactly is the parse error or how is it behaving differently from what’s expected?
I also just wanted to say “THANK YOU!” for an awesome support post. You posted it to the right community, gave it a short but very descriptive title, gave lots of info about what you’ve tried and the results you’ve experienced – and did so politely :)

Hopefully you haven’t been listening to Brad’s rumors.
Oh, what happened to the toaster?
According to Reddit posts where I first saw this linked it’s from 2000. Here’s the artist’s page, didn’t see a date attached to it there unfortunately.
I was mostly referring to the quality being shitty and less-so the content of the edits themselves.
But also leaving the artist’s signature on an edited comic and not mentioning it’s modified feels shitty too. This isn’t a meme or political community so I’d think posting the original is more appropriate anyway.
Original by John Jonik without the shitty edits:
His cowworker definitely knows his shit.
bofa Deezen guesses are good but not quite right.
I’ve had a cheap picture very similar to this for a long time. Unless the original artist used a pseudonym I’m assuming it’s an unlicensed knockoff. Signature looks like “Jons/Jones[?] 91.” I won’t link to it, but I found an eBay listing for it and the seller said they won it at an amusement park so that’s probably where I got mine.
Sorry for low-quality scan, tried to fix blurriness but no luck so far.
The fable of the Chicken and the Pig is used to illustrate the differing levels of commitment from project stakeholders involved in a project. The basic fable runs:
A Pig and a Chicken are walking down the road.
The Chicken says: “Hey Pig, I was thinking we should open a restaurant!”
Pig replies: “Hm, maybe, what would we call it?”
The Chicken responds: “How about ‘ham-n-eggs’?”
The Pig thinks for a moment and says: “No thanks. I’d be committed, but you’d only be involved.”
I’m glad we were able to discuss this productively and that our comments were voted on based on their quality and not level of agreement.
Surely if we all continue to make brash emotional responses to the concerns around firearm safety instead of effective ones we’ll get this menace solved any day now.
Not worried about saving face, my reply was more a rebuttal to yours re: “Lemmy when every minor detail isn’t included” etc. I would think the perpetrator’s name would be more important than the caliber and manufacturer of the firearm; e.g. “GOP Politician Don Wilson Leaves a Loaded Pistol in the Bathroom” imparts more key information than the one used - and even the fact is was loaded isn’t surprising since it being left in the bathroom implies it is used for self-defense and would likely be loaded. There is the possibility that it was some prop used for demonstration that was accidentally left there which would (hopefully) be unloaded so it’s not a strictly extraneous detail to include so that alone I don’t take issue with.
My issue is just specifying it was Glock and 9mm in the headline was simply because of the public’s familiarity with the words but not what they mean necessarily [the most popular handgun in the most popular caliber] and was intended to make the scenario sound even more scary. I used the three examples to point out that they would likely report the other scenarios as simply ‘left vehicle parked illegally’, omit the clothing and briefcase composition regarding the shoplifting, and not specify the brand of beer or its unsurprising temperature and form factor in the parking lot drinking.
Sure, get specific in the body to accurately describe the facts, but the headline isn’t meaningfully changed by omitting those points so I don’t think they were needed.
I just don’t feel like the make and caliber of the pistol was more pertinent than the name of the politician to highlight in the headline.
Was it extra dangerous because it was a Glock pistol and not Sig Sauer? Would it have been less an issue if it was .380 Auto or .45 ACP instead of 9mm?
