I like how you've written more than John by now and he made a much better and more coherent point in his short post than you have in your multi-part dumpster defence essay.

The reason it's not working unless you pull it out slightly is because you're plugging a TRRS jack(the ones with two rings on them) into a TRS(the ones of which the jacks have one ring on them) socket, which isn't going to ground one of the stereo connectors properly because the connectors on the jack are misaligned with the ones inside the socket. You could try pulling the jack out as far as you possibly can to just disable the microphone because the microphone is often located on the sleeve connector, but I believe the order sometimes changes by manufacturer.

I give up; I see this turning into a public nerd-off with no satisfactory conclusion and I have better things to do.

I would recommend you go see an optician or actually watch footage to begin with.

It is very unsettling to think that a complex like this is allowed to be built with a residential area so close by, but what I find equally worrying is how people keep derpily filming something which is clearly capable of ending your life in a heartbeat without apparently feeling any sense of immediate urgency or danger. Even if you're not very intelligent, you should have a basic instinct to get under cover as much as you can when you see something like this.

Are there going to be VODs on YouTube for all of the play-off matches before i55?

Just because you're leaving out implied words in your paraphrasing doesn't mean his reasoning is wrong; it seems your understanding of the term 'contradiction' is wrong.

I don't see a reason to leave shop x to shop at shop y because they carry the same products but shop x is near me.
If shop y carried products I've been looking for which shop x doesn't and they deliver to my doorstep, I would stop shopping at shop x in favour of shop y.

Seems perfectly logical to me. Whether you agree with his opinion or not is a different matter, but there is nothing wrong with his logic.

Who's "Whose"?

Because using untested potentially crucial mechanics in your world championships might ruin said world championships?

Does anyone know a place which currently sells Noppoo Choc Mini or Mini-2M with brown switches?

It seems the French medic is well-endowed.

I think that once you get the platform to a point where you feel confident it'll run smoothly and has enough features, you should host a NA and an EU cup with prize money. If I recall correctly, there were two Twitch-sponsored cups in the past, with top teams attending; they were very decent events on the broadcasting side of things. I think no-one would say no to a recurring cup which could build some prestige over time; perhaps spread over a three-day weekend. "The Summer and Winter Razer Cup" seem like they could have a set place on the calendar.

Here you go. The preview seems to be bugged out, but I checked and the download works.

The blip you hear on a portable radio when someone stops transmitting. I believe I actually got it from Half-Life 2; you hear it every time the combines talk to each other on the radio.

Edit: Here's an upload.

I always love to see those jumps in close quarters on stock maps, through buildings and tight doorways; shows there's always something new you can do if you're creative enough.

What does that have to do with anything? Everyone working on ToTH is "from the 6s scene", but apparently that doesn't make them unreliable in your eyes. What a weird, weird sentence. Are you sixist?
