My Dad's car adjusts it's headlights based on some sort of sensor data. I'm not sure if it's proximity or oncoming light levels or what. Neat trick though.
I'm torn between wondering if folks have their high beams on or if it's just these super-bright low beams that seem to be everywhere.
John Fogerty's "Wrote A Song For Everyone" album was what disappeared from my friend's iPhone. I assume it may have had something to do with Fogerty's legal battles around rights to his songs but I don't really know.
Not if it happens more frequently, as I originally stated. The coworkers are already being harmed by the ridiculous tactics these companies are using to prevent paying people what they need to live. It is going to take drastic measures to turn the tide.
Same. I was forever forgetting to hit DnD on my phone and I'd have to listen to notifications from my cameras when I'm out mowing the lawn.
Same. I ripped all of my CD's going back to the 80's and still snag MP3/FLAC files online almost daily from multiple sources. I switched to MediaMonkey to manage almost 33,000 songs. It will autosync file lists to multiple devices so that I have some music on my phone and others on SD cards for the truck. It'll take something pretty amazing to make me change now.
Even listening all day only a portion of that collection could be heard so there's no reason to carry the entire collection around on a device. Curated collections are easy to transfer to a device, which still holds more than a person can listen to even over a few days. Streaming just eliminates the need to "load" a portable device. Lots of folks don't mind manually transferring media.
Same. I've been hoarding MP3's since the late 90's and just never felt OK with streaming stuff. I recommended an album to a friend of mine and he dramatically showed me how easy it was to purchase and add the album on his iPhone, like my method was archaic. Only a few months later Apple's agreement with that artist ended for some reason and the album was removed from his phone. ...mine still works.
I had a bunch of old 8GB MP3 players that I got in an Amazon return pallet I bought during the pandemic. I figured that I had nothing to lose by posting them for sale online and they were gone in no time with people even reaching out looking for more.
Explain why allowing these massive corporations to drive countless people into poverty has been a good idea? This has happened before and it's a known fact that when pushed to their limit people will push back. The arsonist is in the wrong but it is completely understandable how people feel they have no other options. Corporations have forgotten that there are consequences to their actions. They are fully aware of what they are doing to people. It will take something drastic to make them learn.
The sad thing here is that these corporate bastards care little for their losses as long as whoever "did it to them" gets caught and punished. This is going to have to happen a lot more to change that thinking preferably where the perpetrators get away with it.
I saw The Ramones and Teenage Head in 1991 in a venue so small you could walk up and get punched in the face by the band. Maybe 40 people in the pit and another 50 in the crowd. Couldn't have been more than $10 to get in.
Reminds me of Red Dwarf S1.E5 ∙ Confidence and Paranoia. "Take your helmet off. You don't need oxygen. You're the king!"
I do not know you. I don't know your name. I don't know anything about you but I hate the idea of you having a tummy ache and I wish that I could help you to be rid of it.
My wife knit me a beautiful Gryffindor scarf many years ago. Not even thinking about what Rowling has been doing I wore it a few months ago and had two people chastise me for it. J.K. Rowling is NOT Harry Potter. I'm OK with preventing Rowling from making money but I'm not going to let her take Harry Potter away from me.
I want very much to believe this but I'm having trouble grasping why this meeting in which something that was "confidential, can't be leaked" was being filmed. Is their sauce explaining the source of the video, or the credentials of those speaking?
These guys used to work in the same building as one of my customers. Really nice bunch of dudes.
Robin Williams warned us about that hair.
Our bunny was dubbed "The Queen" by vet staff. While she wasn't dangerous she would viciously slap people who weren't doing their assigned tasks. If the person who previously brought meds brought her food, that's a slap. If the person who brings food brought meds, that's a slap. Once someone performed a task for her, that task was theirs for the remainder of her visit and they couldn't deviate.
One of my customers is an independent hardware store that is affiliated with a larger chain. They opted to open up a second location recently and contacted Milwaukee about setting up a purchasing account for the new location. Milwaukee called back later to say that they were rejecting the application because a nearby Home Depot had contacted them and disapproved. They told Milwaukee what they thought of them and are moving Milwaukee gear at 20% off to get rid of it all.
The French would argue that showing up for one day is insufficient. Show up and stay until change is affected.
Been there! "She must have just blurted that out because she's feeling uncomfortable. I'll pretend that I didn't hear it so that she isn't embarassed."
Whatever he's had for breakfast gets shared to the room soon enough via his diaper.
#7 My first apartment had huge windows and I couldn't afford blinds. I brought home scraps of window tinting from work and applied it to all of my windows so that they would be mirrored from the outside. I will never forget the look on the face of my elderly neighbour, in her well lit window that night, when she saw me stroll past my window butt naked after having gotten out of the shower.
To be fair the U.S. has continued to send troops anywhere they have "won". Germany and Japan have numerous U.S. bases. The U.S. never goes away unless they lose.
