I remember buying this when it was released from a local new and used music store, The Record Exchange, in NC. Nostalgia indeed.

I recommend the same. For OP’s use case, it’s the best bang for your buck by far.

How so?

You’re confusing Cate Blanchet with Gwyneth Paltrow.

I don’t understand how that’s a problem. Can you go into a little bit more detail about what you think the consequences might be to manufacturers choosing to use Steam OS or some other Linux operating system on their handheld devices?

I know you’re joking but it’s absolutely possible to love books even when most may be unread. Umberto Eco sings the praises of the so-called “anti-library” here: https://www.themarginalian.org/2015/03/24/umberto-eco-antilibrary/

It doesn’t. I’m not really interested in multi-player games of any kind. Partly because I don’t have the time to git gud, and partly because my gaming interest is primarily getting lost in a narrative world.

Why not? Ethical or moral values have about as much bearing on the scientific outcome as how attractive the researchers are.

In my 30s I was pretty sure I had come to terms with my eventual death. Then I contracted a serious virus that caused my body temperature to begin dropping rapidly. That combined with an intense nausea led to a direct and unmistakable confrontation with mortality. I was not ready and I was terrified. I experienced the visceral knowledge that I was on the precipice of losing everything I knew or cared about. I was, and remain, humbled by death. Because of that experience I tend to be skeptical when others say they are prepared for death.

Yes. It contains fiber and micro nutrients that gummy worms will not have. Skip the juice though. Drink water instead.

I went into it knowing nothing. That ending was viscerally shocking.

I remember when that flip clock widget was everywhere. You couldn’t get away from it. I think those originated from HTC.

I’m partial to We have Always Lived in the Castle.

Me either. I logged out and can’t log back in. I receive a “server version too low” error. Guess I’ll wait until later today or tomorrow until the server is upgraded.

It’s really quite shocking how the GOP agenda can be predicted by asking yourself, “What’s the worst thing someone would in a given situation?”. What’s even more shocking is that they have engineered the political framework to disproportionately grant them enough power to sometimes pass these regressive policies. But for most of America, sigh, just another Thursday…

This is a great example!

A “culture of safety” must include decreased emphasis on cars and an increased emphasis on public transportation and cycling and pedestrian traffic. This will only occur with infrastructure funding. It’s not clear from the article what cultivating a “culture of safety” would look like…

How can you see what has been blocked?

Great point. Lemmy and Mastadon look more like an effort to claw back the web of open access and decentralization from VCs, grifters, and the like.
