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.

need to look into protonmail, obviously, thanks folks

I’ve been using fastmail for the last several years and have no complaints

The only downside to Proton currently (for me), is that the Android app only supports a single email account, so for alts on mobile you have to login using a mobile browser.

IIRC, the most recent community survey put a pretty high priority on correcting that.

Thanks guys, My grandpa driving style must be helping. They did an alignment check and it is within spec, no issues. 6 years and all is well. If it was off just a bit they would have wanted to take my money.

Glad to here it. I have the alignment checked if the wear is weird. Or if we have a lot of potholes due to construction and rain.

Like @Hands, every year or two in Boston. I’ve found my dealership typically underinflates my tires too.

Oh, that's sad to hear. No more Night Tripping.

lol

So making their own products is too hard for them? Well if you want a trade war that is what you get. Oh right, reading a good history book is too much effort. Blame others for your own stupidity and sell it for advertising Dollars. Sorry, just had coffee. Black humour, black beans, good for the mind...

I thought they were pro business. Not in my book.
