I've seen hail the size of an apple. Maybe I should be wishing for 6 feet of hail. Wouldn't that be something.

13 inches at 10 am today. My good neighbor brought his snow blower over, yea!

Geez @Elnrik those are serious hard hat zone storms!!!!

Ouch. But if you're willing to pay $500 for a lifetime license you'll be willing to pay $700. I'm also a JRiver user since the days of Jukebox. It's surprising how many people complain each year about a $20 upgrade price to the next version. Roon is in for some complaints from the peanut gallery seats.

Oouch...$200 is significant increase in price

I was on the fence doing yearly, but the price increase is a troublesome sign

Unlike most Americans, at least you know Kiev, Kyiv, (however you spell it) is in Ukraine and not Russia.

Until a week ago I thought it was Key-Ehv. Somehow
'Chicken Keeve' doesn't sound as appetizing.

If you want a burger just eat a damn burger. If this is flexible then what's the point of being so specific as trying to find something that is just like a burger yet not a burger?

Make it out of lean, grass fed beef. Is this an environmental thing or a health thing or what? If the former then rest easy, curbing meat consumption is statistically worthless for helping the environment when you examine the science. If the latter one burger now and then isn't going to kill you.

I like the Impossible better than Beyond (but not Burger King's). TJ's Quinoa Cowboy burgers are excellent. The kids like the original Boca, and the Quorn breaded "chicken" patties (especially the spicy).

apparently yes you can.

And some of those old RCA and Decca songs from the 60's are some amazing sounding recordings.

Been trying to listen to Albert Lee recently. Fell upon this little history of guitar players who influenced him (most of it relevant to this thread). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9BQwPrWpB8

I don't have time to watch TV these days, but I'll add it to my queue. I'm not generally a fan of country, but there are some nuggets that I love. I highly recommend the Revisionist History podcast episode on Bobby Braddock, "The King of Tears". Great stuff.

There's a few bands where I try to get every single one of their albums and The Cars is one of them.

Further proof that the EPA isn't actually run by humans

@rlow - I think you are right, no wonder Trump wants Greenland. Insiders told him to pick the highest mt there and move Mar-a-lago there. Beachfront bliss for next 100 years.

82F is nearly 28C. That is about 2C hotter than comfort for me, and my comfort level is 5 to 10 C degrees higher than many in the world.

Totally agree... I thought they were going to start streaming/selling lossles....

It’s just rebranding of “mastered for iTunes”. They kinda have to do it since iTunes is biting the dust.

Just renamed MFiT. Some of the masters have been significant improvements in DR over CD/streaming masters so pick your poison. 256kbps AAC isn't lossless but it ain't bad.

Substance abuse is a social problem that there's really no one answer to. It's always... horrifying to hear of someone else dying of an OD.

I read that as "died after 22 years of drug overdose." Whiskey goggles man...horrible news anyhow

Very sad. She apparently suffered from depression. It's common for people with mental illness to self medicate.

I've found variations of research like this for over a decade: https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/the-bacterial-horror-of-the-hot-air-hand-dryer-2018051113823

I just air dry or use my shirt like a barbarian.

Little known fact: God invented pants to wipe your hands on them.

@SoupRKnowva what's not to love?!

and USMNT tonight vs. Mexico in Gold Cup Final.

Hah! My bad, I got roped into the tech hype conversation all over again and some things just stuck.

As for the shitting in their own cereal, that's just my way of saying they shot themselves in the foot. Er, figuratively of course, not literally.

Their stock dropped 1% on the news. Jony Ive is perceived to be a big deal.

But he's starting his own firm and it will do contract design work for Apple.

Well, people care very much about how their phone looks, and if said phone is also the membership card for a cult --- Apple!

But, grudgingly, I guess I have to admit that they have a place in industrial design history.
