Does a program exist that levels the audio in a group of audio files? I burn a lot of mp3 CDs, and I'm really loving sick of having all the songs peak at around the same volume level, except a few obscenely louder ones and several really quiet ones. Is there such a thing as a program that will level the audio of a bunch of files at once? I don't want to have to open each one individually in a sound editing program and have to do it by hand if I don't have to.

Broke my pelvis and both my feet a little less than a month ago. They've given me these boots to keep my tendon flexed so I don't get drop foot, and they're uncomfortable but better than the alternative. Since returning home from the hospital, I was able to sleep alright, even though i did have to wake up to roll over. Now, I can't sleep. It's horrible. I thought it was the boots, so I got permission from my PT to sleep without them as long as I promised to flex extra much and always wear the boots during the day. While removing the boots has helped, I still am barely pulling in 5 hours a night, and it's all broken up into one-or-two-hour chunks. It's horrible. Last night I awoke absolutely drenched in sweat. I was using an electric blanket (gotta stay with my parents for now, their house is goddamn freezing) and the tempurature felt totally comfortable, I had no idea why I sweat so much. Soaked my pjs, sheets, pillow, had to wake my parents up for a towel so I didn't freeze when my skin touched the air. This isn't normal for me. Normally I can sleep pretty well. First I figured it's just my body healing, getting back to normal, not being all drugged. But this all started right as I stopped using the prescription meds the doctor gave me, Norco. I've been on the meds since the 7th or 8th of last month, and just stopped using them a few days ago. ...Am I going through withrdawal, or am I just unable to sleep due to the fact that I am unable to burn much energy during the day? At night I'm fidgety, restless, unable to get comfortable, unable to find a good temperature, and always waking up miserable and unable to fall asleep again for hours. I guess my question is, am I going through withdrawal? If not, are there any remedies for night sweats for people not going through any hormonal imbalances? I'm at my wit's end, I can't keep this up for very long.

stubblyhead posted:If you don't mind me asking, how did you guys go about breaking your pelvis? Fell really, really hard down a very tall, very steep flight of stairs onto concrete. My own ignorant clumsiness, and I've paid for it and paid for it, with pain and soon with all my money and more edit: cracked it in half, actually. Doctor said usually my kind of pelvic fracture is for car or motorcycle accidents, and if the force that broke it had been applied to, say, my ribcage or head, I wouldn't have survived

I want to download this. I want it so bad, but when I click the download link, I get an error message. The site says:the site posted:If you get an error message while trying to download the file, please diable any web-anonymizer software that blocks referral headers, some internet security software may also disable the referral header. But I do not know what this means. Is there something in firefox that is blocking my ability to download it? I use standard firefox with the pop-up blocker add-on. Disabling my popup blocker does not fix it. What do I do to allow me to download this thing?

I have a friend who is wanting to put on a play in Springfield, Illinois. Apparently the theater scene there is very limited, not many venues, etc. He's running into issues and is considering possibly renting and putting together a venue of his own. Are there any websites or resources I can recommend to him to help walk him through the process of putting together an independent show/possibly opening a small venue? My google skills are failing me in my search.

I don't know if all banks are the same but at the bank where I worked, if you ordered a business debit card, your business name came first and your actual name goes under that, automatically. That's just how it's done, regardless of name.

For the best chances of success, don't download anything or do anything that would write to the drive as the files you're looking for will be in the free space and will be written over. Download an iso of hirens boodcd on a seperate computer, burn it, and you'll find it in a folder called "wintools" or something like that. If you need any more help, let me know. Again, don't even use the laptop as just using it, things will be being written. Thanks! That's really awesome! I won't be able to try it til I can actually get to my other computer later this month...til then my laptop's all I have so I guess I'll just have to risk using it. Again, I didn't keep anything deadly important on here, so if I lose something it won't be the end of the world. Thanks again for your help!

Banks figure it out when their next of kin brings some ID and a death certificate. If any account is left inactive long enough (the time varies from bank to bank) the accounts are closed but I'm not sure what happens to money left in the account. Possibly a cashier's check is cut and mailed to the account holder.

A dude hit my car earlier this week. He was uninsured and I don't have full coverage. My car runs, but it's old/lovely so the damage is worth about as much as the car. He's saying he's gonna pay me the money my mechanic estimated. That's terribly unlikely because this guy's a flake, but if he does, am I legally obligated to spend the money on my car? I was hospitalized/temporarily crippled for a few months and the medical bills feel more pressing than what largely amounts to cosmetic damage on my old car.

Wagonburner, OneEightHundred, Bojanglesworth, Ridonkulous: thank you for the replies! The medical issues came before the car wreck it just a minor skid-and-bump in a slick parking lot - so he's got no responsibility there. I just didn't want him to pay me, get indignant when he sees me still driving a my car with a busted front, and cause me some legal trouble over it. All I have on my car is liability, and I don't even know what that means except they probably won't help much since he's uninsured, but in the next year my mom's upgrading her car and I get hers and I'd like to try to wait it out and pay the hospital instead.

A Typical Goon posted:If I've lost all the keys to my car, what are my options? So far I've heard go to the dealer or go to a locksmith and get them to make me a new key. However, I can't find anything about the costs. Anyone been in this situation and know about it? Depends on the car. My car's an old POS that nobody makes anymore. Getting a new key made from the dealer cost me $10. If you have a fancier car/key set, it's going to cost you more, but a standard old key shouldn't break the bank.

I used to work at a bank. With my job there, I was given a bank account for my direct deposit. I no longer work there. I had a coworker bullying me and harassing customers every day, and no matter who I asked to help me with it up the chain of command, nothing was done, so I left. On my way out, I e-mailed the regional manager (who I'd talked about this issue with before) and said, I'm leaving because this is a hostile work environment, it's not about the bank, I liked working here, I'm sorry to go. I said nothing bad about the bank or let on that I had any intention of messing anything up in regards to my account. Now, I can't loving pay any bills with echecks or phone checks. They're all being rejected. The money is there, and these are hospital bills. I think my bank has disabled my ability to do this since my employment was terminated. Is this legal? They've no grounds - I've always been responsible with my account. I've only overdrafted it once EVER, last year, in an emergency (hospital bills), well under my "acceptable overdraft" limit, and it was paid back with my next direct deposit never to go under again. What the gently caress spiteful bullshit is this. They've got Telechecks rejecting my payments. What can I do about this? Is there some kind of legal hell I can raise or am I just going to have to leave this bank? I'm so angry right now I can't stand it.

And naturally Telecheck doesn't seem to have the option to talk to a real person and none of the automatic options apply to my issue.

It didn't work and it shouldn't work. Please don't hassle people just doing their job because you don't have a bank. Just pay the $5. Some places charge a certain amount per $100, some a flat fee. You may get them to waive the fee if you agree to open an account with them.

Bojanglesworth posted:Yeah, because I am going to pay a fee just so some whiny baby doesn't cry about their job later. First off, it isn't your money so who the gently caress cares, second the fee is bullshit to begin with. Not to mention that saying, 'do you mind waiving the fee for me?' is all it takes, its not like I am showing up with a dozen roses. Right, but the teller doesn't control the bank. The teller can get in trouble, however, for waiving every fee for every oh so polite customer who comes to the counter. Not every bank charges for this kind of thing. As for those that do: just open up a bank account of your own somewhere and you can have all the free checks cashed you want! Simple! Besesoth posted:I continue to be flatly astonished that a bank charging a non-customer a fee for cashing a check drawn on that bank doesn't violate some kind of usury law. Not every bank does that. The banks who do may have huge account goals to meet or something. If you open an account with them, they'll deposit that check with no fee. It sucks, but so do account goals. SnowblindFatal posted:Yeah, from my experience, all bank fees are pretty much bullshit. They make their profits from actually holding the money, and everything besides that is just unnecessary milking. The big customers don't have to pay a cent for services, you can count on that. You're right, most of the fees are gigantic bullshit and it's a shame. I'm just saying it doesn't mean you should hassle a teller to make your day easier. As a teller, I'd love to waive more fees but I need a source of income. I don't get why people just don't open their own bank accounts somewhere so they don't have to worry about originating banks and bullshit like that.

I have direct deposit for both of my jobs so the only case where I am going into a different bank to cash a check is when it is for freelance work. Your bank won't let you cash checks there  That sucks!Also: fishmech has it right on the money (ha). A QUESTION: I'm looking for some decent yoga instructional videos.
