@john32123666 I have the BelAmi one and it should be seeding now if you haven't got it yet.

@pupkinvasya Awesome, thank you very much. It looks like that one is already at a modern resolution so I won't have to do anything to it. I'll look and see if they have anything older I might need to upscale.

Also on the Html5: video not found thing. I've noticed that if you let a video sit for a while you can get this error message. Reloading the page seems to fix it.

I have similar things happen on youtube and pornhub, but thisvid seems to be worse about it.

Does anyone know who these guys are and if they have anymore vids together?

I think the scene is pretty hot and I'd like to upscale it and any others they might have.

@sirtricksalo I'm poor so I'm using a hacked copy and my old video card, r9 200 series, to upscale stuff. DVD ratio's I get maybe 2 fps.Takes about 24 hours to do a full length DVD so if I want to do something longer than 8 hours, while I'm asleep basically, I have to export the movie as png files and I use Avidemux to recombine it into a video with the ripped audio.

I've had some good results but man I wish I could upgrade my video card lol.Hopefully I'll get a new one by the end of this year.

I upgraded my processor a couple of years ago so it usually only takes like an hour to load hundreds of thousands of png files into avidemux.

@raphjd Thanks for the help. I'll go ahead and do that.

I'm asking about this because some forums have restrictions on software that can be uploaded. I couldn't find anything on here, but maybe I just read right over it.

I used a legit copy of Topaz Video Enhance AI to upscale for a long time, but they made some changes to it earlier this year so I switched to using an older copy, version 2.4, for a long time. However this didn't have the most updated models. Someone pointed me to a russian site where I could download version 2.6.2, and of course I'm always skeptical of downloading software from a site where I can't speak the language.

I scanned it before I installed it, and afterwards. I've been using it for over a month now and I've had no problems and windows hasn't sent me any red warning messages so I think it's safe.

Would it be okay for me to upload it here or can I send an admin a link to the torrent so they can scan it and upload it?

It would just be nice if more people had access to the software and we could get more movies upgraded.

@raphjd I think they are either a miniature rose or peony that were originally white and were dyed that color. I asked my sister about them and she told me the same thing. We aren't experts though so we could be wrong.

@bi4smooth I have. My brother-in-law is an architect, and some people in my family sell residential real estate. From the articles we have read it seems a lot of the price increases have been from rich foreign buyers and multinational corporations buying houses en masse to rent them out. I don't think it has affected my area of the country too badly yet.

I was on a call with my BIL and his doctor a few days ago and when the doctor found out he was an architect he started talking about housing. He lives in Orange County, California and he said houses there are selling for 20% over asking and being paid for in cash so he is having trouble buying a house. That's not something the average American can do. Well in this case not even a well-off specialist can afford to do that.

@bi4smooth said in Biden: "“It’s time we remembered that ‘We the people’ are the government.":

until the early Obama years (which they claim didn't happen because the banks "swallowed" the huge cash infusion instead of putting it "into" the economy).

lol, I would claim we didn't have inflation problems because we were going through a large deflationary event and were hemorrhaging jobs. It's a bit hard to cause inflation while that is going on. That stimulus could have quadrupled and I doubt we would have had any problems.

The last PHD I talked about this in any depth with was the Dean of Gies business school. He was telling me about how large deficits are bad and it was going to make dogs and cats live together, mass hysteria. Then he sent me a paper from the brookings institute to read claiming that, and I'm paraphrasing "This isn't a partisan issue. Even lefty economists agree with this." He said that because I'm obviously on the political left and I guess he thought that if a leftist said it I would believe it.

I read the paper. I think it came out in 2003, and every prediction it made was wrong. It is now 18 years later and nothing in it has come true. I was like dude none of this shit happened and his reply was "Just wait." It's been 18 fucking years dude c'mon. All the paper did was reiterate to me that economists don't know what they are talking about and neo-liberal think tanks that push out bullshit papers aren't to be trusted.

About the cars I can't comment on that at all. I know nothing about cars. If I had to speculate I would say that possibly could be caused by excess demand if production slowed during the pandemic.

My cousin works at GE and they are running behind on appliance orders. If I'm remembering correctly, and I might not be because this conversation was a while ago, he said they usually try to keep production to where they need to make 4000 units, but at the time they were behind by 80,000 units.

I'm super tired and this post got really long, but I'm not going to go back over it and see if it makes sense. I'm just going to hit submit and hope for the best. Have a good night!.

@bi4smooth I would say it is doubtful that this level of spending will cause high inflation let alone hyperinflation. I find excess demand for something is rarely what causes inflation although the inflation in the '70s was from oil prices because of disruption in supply. Usually, it is just a company raising its profit margins or wall street speculating on commodities that causes inflation.

I've been waiting 20 years for high inflation and skyrocketing interest rates that economists freak out about. I haven't seen them yet. I think most economists don't know what they are talking about if I am quite honest.

@lololulu19 Having a balanced budget is not a good idea right now. The federal debt is our money supply. There are specific cases you might want to reduce the money supply but just having a "balanced budget" is not one of them.
