  • Are the tracks incorrect as in the first track should be English but is the French track, or track one is labelled as English but is actually French?

    If they’re labelled correctly, your media player should be able to select your chosen language from the options, whichever order they’re in. I think Plex does it.

    If they’re incorrectly labelled, there are tools that can fix them, but it’s been years since I last used one. I think MakeMKV did it, but it was gui from what I remember.














  • I vaguely remember reading about that when I was younger. I don’t know if it’s true, but this is what I read.

    The peasants and farmers were made to stand in the fields throwing stones at the sparrows, preventing them from landing. The thinking was that the sparrows would die from exhaustion, if they weren’t killed by the stones.

    What actually happened was that the existing crops were either trampled or broken by the stones, and as the farmers weren’t working the fields, nothing grew the following year either.

    Like I say, I have no idea whether it’s true, or if it was just 80’s anti communist propaganda, but it’s stuck in my head ever since.





  • I’m still trying them out, but if they work as advertised, then AppImages. That’s mostly because I use my desktop and laptop pretty much equally, so being able to copy and AppImage from one to the other and keep going would be really handy.

    On a similar note, if a computer dies, being able to just copy and paste them to a new computer, or run them from a portable drive would be great.


  • If you’re taking any other meds, speak to a doctor before you try it.

    I have a chronic illness that led to organ transplantation, and cannabis would interfere with one of my rejection meds. That would have caused me much bigger problems than the pain that I was trying to stop.

    Unfortunately, cannabis has an almost cult like mythology around it. There are lots of people who will tell you that it cures everything, from mild pain to every type of cancer, and will even clean and polish your car 😉

    I hope you find what you need. Good luck 🙂
