I got into the digital stuff around 2002ish with eDonkey. There was a big MST3k trading community at the time, and I had access to an OC-48 line back then. All the 90 minute episodes were sized to CD, so I had a whole spindle of episodes.

Maybe it’s my frame of mind (I’m not “discovering” new music, I stopped paying for streaming when I realized 99% of what I was listening to was recorded in the last millennium) but I can’t fathom how this would “turn free users to paid.”

2026?

Some folks have a bit more practice and never let their skills go cold

Face it, all power is water, all stories are Hamlet, all food is grass, and all music is Pachelbel’s Canon. Reality’s budget is running out and it’s having to reuse assets.

Ronon Dex went full local after Atlantis splashed down.

I’d probably listen to Admiral Ackbar, and walk on by.

Step 1: Degoogle

Romesh Ranganathan on Taskmaster described it (positively) as “giving Robocop a blowie.” I think the companies making them should jump on that marketing phrase.

I’d think less of them if they didn’t.

The most dumbfounding thing to me is that the list isn’t even base64 encoded. Its just sitting in the repo plain-text. I can’t decided if its laziness, a lack of data integrity standards, lack of imagination, or if he wanted all this drama one day.

I do, and I already have the referral…

They are all the omni-Springfield. Shelbyville differs by state.

There’s a 2nd thing in that cart, totally justified. There’s no way he could carry that small flat object (that sort of looks like a plastic wrapped magazine to me…) while also pushing a hand truck around, come on.
