As someone who relies on media mail for my small business, rates have increased every 4 months for the last 5 years.

This is purposeful. The administration is not interested in a public post office and would love to see it privatized.

Agreed. I much prefer listening to full albums. Even stuff I bought a long time ago as a teenager for one song, I’ve enjoyed going back and listening to the complete album.

I burned a cd for niece a few months back. She was in awe. Surprisingly that spindle of CDRs that have been sitting in my attic for 20 something years still record just fine!

I also have ripped all my CDs as flacs and stream them with navidrome. Convenience is nice and beats syncing to an mp3 player.

I also have a raspberry pi hooked up to my stereo with an nfid reader and print out cards with album art. Just select the one you want, drop it on the reader, and the album plays.

Instead of disowning use exec or xdg-open

I thought it was Larry Ellison’s son that is about to own this?

That’s because it’s dystopian fantasy not dystopian sci-fi

Go to your local library. Many have a great selection on blu-ray and dvds. Having to select something from a shelf is way more enjoyable than the endless scroll of junk streaming services give you. I am now actually purposefully selecting movies and shows to watch and making time and effort to finish them instead of just streaming random stuff.

Plus you get commentaries and bonus features.

Yup. When I entered college in computer science in 2001, there was an all your base belong to us joke in it, which means it was at least a year old

Is this from the catwings children’s book?

You can’t do corn every year. Corn farmers need to rotate and the primary crop is soy since it replenishes the nutrients corn needs and it is easy and you can sell it (or could)

In early versions of Linux when manually setting up your sound card, Redhat came with a test audio clip of Linus Torvolds saying “I province Linux as Linux”. Even though it is named after him he did not pronounce it like his name: Ly-nix.

What is wrong with soy? It is great at restoring nutrients in soil. It is full of protein. It is a great meat alternative…

You can’t grow corn every year. It depletes the soil of nutrients. We grow soy because 1) it restores soil nutrients 2) it is very easy to plant and harvest 3) it can grow almost anywhere in the US 4) we had a buyer which was china using it as animal feed.

I don’t know that there is another good cash crop we can use for crop rotation.

I doubt it. We plant soy beans as part of crop rotation, but don’t actually consume them. We sold them primarily to china to use as feed for animals since china primarily uses its soy beans to feed its population. Due to the trade war, china is purchasing soy from other countries. This means every other year, farmers will not have income unless either the US consumes a lot more soybeans or all the farmers agree to use a different crop rotation that has value. But soy beans are easy to plant, do a great job enriching soil, and can grow in most climates in the us.

My non technical spouse prefers profile to separate work and personal. She uses different themes for each profile so it is very obvious which is which.

Also one of the extensions she likes interferes with a work site she is required to use. She has that extension installed in the personal profile but not work profile.

Profiles can have separate settings which is nice. I heavily use tab containers, but the site used for online grad school requires 3rd party cookies for any of the embedded content to work. So I have a separate school profile that has 3rd party cookies enabled.

As an adult, realizing that Freddy was a child predator and that the neighborhood parents took justice into their own hands completely changed my view on the movie.

You can find archives of “bumps”. The adult swim ones are fantastic, but the Nickelodeon ones are good too.
