Remember how his best friend Donald used to run teen modeling contests and walk in on the girls while they were changing? These guys had a lot in common.

And those CEOs will go off with their vast piles of money to make the same mistakes again, since the message they get is that this behaviour will be rewarded.

They didn’t fuck up. They’re doing it deliberately.

I understood it to mean that wishlists currently only offer things shipped by Amazon, so they don’t share your address with other sellers, but they’re going to change wishlists so they offer things from third party sellers, who will need your address to ship things to you. So they’re going to start sharing your address with these sellers.

If you spend a lot of time sitting next to a CD player they’re still OK for now. For music on the move, not so much. And when the player breaks it will be hard to replace. So they’re definitely not perfect.

HDDs are not designed to last very long. Neither are SSDs. That’s one reason to prefer dedicated physical media.

Those never worked well. They pick up every tiny bit of dust and scratch, far more than a stylus does. If you keep your stylus in good condition, changing it regularly, and set up your tonearm correctly, it shouldn’t harm the records.

I recently revived my record player and CD player and I’ve been enjoying three things:

1. You have to think about what to listen to,
2. the player is completely offline and separate from the devices you work and communicate on, so nothing will interrupt and you feel you’re doing something different, and
3. it means you listen to whole albums, not mixed up playlists, so you get deeper into it.

What I don’t enjoy is that records in particular are ridiculously expensive now. I don’t know who can afford them. So I’m stuck with the records and CDs of my youth and whatever I can find in bargain bins.

I do also use Qobuz and… other means of obtaining music.

Can we stop publishing these articles? I was enjoying the cheap CDs.

Their post history reveals them to be kind of a jerk. If it was an attempt at sarcasm it was a poor one.

The frustrating thing is we can’t boycott AWS since so many of the sites we use run on it. But yes, we absolutely shouldn’t buy things through Amazon or any of the other web stores Amazon owns.

He’s still figuring out what happens when you try to do that to everyone at the same time, repeatedly. It’s a lesson most bullies will be taught much earlier in life, but Trump isn’t as sharp as the average meat-headed moron.

In the third video he’s definitely asleep. You can see him wake with a start when he hears the applause.

mandate requirements for adults to become/remain parents.

What world that look like? Are you saying the state should intervene to prevent some people becoming parents? Because that never goes well.

Or maybe his penis, since he’s determined to inflict it on them whether they like it or not.

Just more fascist eugenics from American Nazis.

New Teams or Teams Classic?

Pretty sure Europe won’t want them, and Europe wouldn’t be white enough to satisfy them. Canada needs to act to shut them down.

Linux won’t be legal in Colorado if they pass this. You’ll need an account with some age-policing, ID-reporting corporation to be able to use a computing device.

How do they imagine they could enforce this though? Presumably quite selectively, based on the user’s political leanings.

If ordinary users could get a good supply of even DDR4 from China it would be a big relief. Not everyone needs to be at the cutting edge of performance, but we all need enough RAM to make a useful machine.
