2. Not a sociopath--a decent human-being who believe it is morally wrong to sterilize pre-pubescent children and/or slice the breasts/penises off of young teenagers.
1. "Sorry Dave--I don't believe you have a 'human right" to follow my pre-teen daughter into the ladies' locker room and show her your hard penis."

'You goddamn transphobe!"

OC Transpo

The world's most useless public transit network.
Based in Canada's capital, Ottawa, it features some 250 bus lines, each running less reliably than the last. One of the most talked-about events in the company's history was the strike of '08. Started in December, just in time for the designated intra-religious holiday season, it continued through February 2009, at which point, an enraged businessman, who had relied on the bus service to get to work, went on a rampage, slaughtering 40 executives, 12 drivers and 5 mechanics, and threatening to blow up a gas tank at the headquarters if the striking employees didn't get back to work.

A prominent controversy at OC Transpo is the city's light rail system. You see, the city used to have a sort of trolley in the early 20th century, which was for some reason all but removed. City council's been bitching about bringing it back for the last two decades, but they're too corrupt to do more than fund a useless above-ground line going from nowhere to no place special.
-So, I hear another OC Transpo strike is in the works.
-Wow, 3 years, that must be a new record! I've never seen them go that long without some sort of shit happening

transcode

What is a Transcode?

Put simply, a transcode is any audio file that wasn't encoded from an original lossless source, such as a retail CD (not created from lossy files) or a properly made lossless rip. At What, we only allow one lossy step in the lineage of any upload.

Why is transcoding bad?

Whenever you encode a file to a lossy format (such as mp3, m4a(AAC), ogg, or mpc) information is permanently lost. It doesn't matter what you do, it's impossible to get this information back without making a new rip from the original lossless source. If you reencode it to a different format or bitrate, all you're doing is reducing the quality. This applies to any lossy to lossy conversion, so even if you convert from 320kbps to 192kbps, the final file will still sound worse than if you had just ripped to 192kbps in the first place.

It's also important to remember to verify that lossless rips actually came from an original source. People that download lossless expect it to be identical to the original. There's no point in people downloading a bigger file just to get another lossy rip.

So how do I verify that my upload isn't a transcode?

The simplest way is to rip and encode it from the original source yourself. That way, you know that there has been only one lossy step (or that the rip is truly lossless, if you decided to do a lossless rip).

You should also check it by using a wave editor (such as Adobe Audition) to look at the spectral frequency display.
Hey here's the new Childish Gambino album! Awww it's a shitty transcode. The spectrals show it was chopped at 10 kHz. Why are the guys that leak this stuff retarded?

1. Fighting the aliens was transpolitical because it got all the nations united together to fight for Earth's survival.

2. Hitchhiking is a transpolitical act because all the people that gave us a ride were amazing human beings, despite their diverse backgrounds.
