Hahaha! Oh, you were serious? That won’t happen.

The best part is how in the end-stages of capitalism, everything keeps getting worse for consumers. While prices go up, even. It’s awesome. /s

Can’t happen quickly enough.

If they just made up a bunch of accusations with paltry evidence to prove it, the scandal would make headlines. “iPhone maker found to be full of shit in court!” is clickworthy gold. I don’t think your stance is very strong. Every entity tries to spin things in their favor, but you make it sound like they’d bring an empty case and they very much would not. No one starts a lawsuit they don’t think they can win unless they’re someone with no credibility and endless money like Elon Musk (see lawsuit against Apple and OpenAI) or oil companies going after environmental lawyers.

Lemme help you spice things up: Wait until you’re passing by a guy who’s super clean cut and wearing business attire. As you go by, yell: “Get a haircut, hippy!” It’s funny every time.

I hate to tell you this, but the mullets were very real. It was a dark time and we’re all glad it’s in the past.

Stringer noted that real officers do not wear ski masks.

I dunno. Depends on the agency, these days.

I hope the people directing ICE to mask up take notes of this. They won’t. If they do, they’ll take the wrong lesson from it.

Aww, poor broken-balls little guy! What shame.

Even without the occupation, housing-first costs less.

The End of Policing.

According to Need

Before entering a nearby subway station, Honan opened the bag and discovered a red envelope inside stuffed with cash, at least one $100 bill and several $20 bills.

What a crappy, low-ball bribe.

I hope his big balls get stomped again. And again. And again and again and again.

Is that accurate? I’d love to read more about it if you have a source.

The shithead with a mustache also only had yes-men. Videos of him presiding over battle plans in his bunker showed him confident about their chances. I’m pretty sure they lost. We can only hope yes-man tank this admin before we go to war.

The world just became a slightly better place.

“They should have tortured Jesus even harder! I woulda fucked him up!”

Block this man from receiving any and all medical treatment. Let him fend for himself and find out how good we’ve got it in modern times.

Can’t have people thinking for themselves, you know.

Also, old records (from early in the CD era) had nowhere near the fidelity of modern records. I played a modern record for my father once and he was astounded how far they’ve come.

Digital fidelity (sample rate) grows more granular in higher frequencies because that’s easier for us to distinguish. (See the Fletcher-Munson Curve from Bell Labs: on a bell curve, we hear best at the frequency of a baby crying.) Think of stair steps that get closer and more numerous over time. That’s a representation of the resolution of the sound across frequencies from low to high. I may be explaining it poorly because I moved away from audio engineering toward a different career a long time ago.

Analog has all the information that’s missing in between the larger, wider steps. It’s not a placebo (didn’t say you called it that). It’s how digital audio works.

My instance isn’t allowing me to upload images for some reason. It had extended downtime the other day, so maybe that’s related. Anyway, here’s a link to a page with a chart that illustrates what I’m attempting to describe.

I got back into reading in the last couple of years. I was already reading a bit more, but it cranked up when I got a job with a lot of downtime. Plus, finding a topic that is endlessly interesting helps: first two-hundred years of christianity. (I’m an atheist and a history nerd.)
