Wow Steve, I hope that they can get to that sooner.
Healing thoughts headed you way.

Thank you ( spoken is a mildly sarcastic tone ) for opening up another rabbit hole to slide down.

A point of view.

Zombi 2020
Premiata Forneria Marconi - L'isola di niente
Iluvatar - Across the Coals from the album From the Silence

It was interesting, thanks.
The 'industrial age' ai graphics were ... disturbing

I generally go by my real name. Mostly because I was never good at those fanciful handles, or random character names. My 'handle' here was my user name at a bunch of places from the 'olden times'...

That's interesting. The format is interesting too. Sort of a TedX thing/pitchdeck

Progday and places like Orion are islands of familiarity that really improve my quality of life for a brief time.

Mike Keneally - Nonkertompf Live - Groningen, The Netherlands - October 19, 2001

Well, today was my last day at the court. 33 years 3 months and 5 days. Far longer than I though that I would work at one job place.
Really feels weird right now.
Retirement phase one is in effect.

Guitarist Steve Gunn; bassist and synthesizer player Shahzad Ismaily; saxophonist, guitarist, and vocalist Zoh Amba; and drummer Jim White have come together to form the new band Beings. On June 7,...

Usually the battery has a little catch on one side that can be released with a small screwdriver or tweezers.

None of the current paid/subscription anti virus products are worth the trouble. Norton/Symantec, McAfee, Trend. Any benefit they may offer is offset by relentless upsells, pop ups, and the chance...

I think most of the regular folks are serial yard sale resellers, and browsers. I will be selling some kind of specialty stuff ( quilting, sewing, and craft ) that will be advertised within those...

Somehow Paypal slipped my mind, since I usually only use it to buy stuff. It seems to be the most common of the 'virtual' payment methods. I still don't use the app.

It does seem like a short lifespan on the battery. I have a couple of systems that are 12 years old+ that don't have clock issues.
Usually when the battery dies, every time you turn the computer...

From the HP site and pictures it looks like a 2032. It looks like it might be pretty easy to get to. In a youtube video it looks like it is clearly visible when the side of the case is removed.

A sort of random question aimed at USian folks.
Have you had a yard sale, and what are the primary forms of payment these days?
I know cash is always good, and having change is important. No...

What kind/model is it?

It's usually a 3032 or 2032 coin battery that just clips into a holder on the computer motherboard. In some cases they are soldered in, which sucks.

Caste by Isabel Wilkerson, Interesting read. A different perspective on society ( mine ). Mostly thing I was aware of, but organized in a compelling way.

Was this a Bandcamp friday thing? I don't see it for sale.

Jaga Jazzist - Starfire

True, but Chocolate Kings is what I listened to in the 70's. I may have heard the others but at the time I was attracted more to the english lyrics.
The same with Acqua Fragile - Mass Media Stars

Well, "They're takin' our Jobs" and all that

The inclusion of "unknown" players might drive some interest their way.
Narrowing the criteria just reinforces existing preferences.
But also including some just because they are popular does a...

As they say, subjective lists are very subjective.
My listening niche may be too narrow and my subjective likes are not based on some specific technical benchmark.

Beyoncé’s ‘Cowboy Carter’ isn’t a country album. It’s worse.
Review by Chris Richards
March 30, 2024 at 5:02 p.m. EDT

It’s an album about awards shows.
That’s the only way I’ve been able to...

I will take your word for it.

Mary Halverson - Cloudward
Rob Mazurek & Exploding Star Orchestra - Spectral Fiction

I get a kick out of 'but they didn't have...' stuff. I thought I saw electronic/ambient/world music every year. Everyone has their own Festival. It's just what you see when you have time.

Even if the bollard withstood the force of the impact, the ship would probably continue forward crushing the bow, etc. 'wrapping' around the obstruction and still causing damage.

Red Lanta by Art Lande and Jan Garbarek popped into my head when I read this.
And then I started going through my mental ECM catalog and there are a bunch from that time frame that fit, better than...

In a port like Baltimore would a ship that size ever be that close to a structure? They don't sail under it, or do they?

The only reason I have to live for the next 12 months is to come back to Big Ears again.

Saw Mighty Poplar on Friday. Parts of Punch Brothers, Leftover Salmon, and Watchhouse.
Very nice, then saw Fred Frith and Ikou Mori. It was different.

In DC they built a new MLS stadium because the old stadium was Too Big. I haven't been to Audi Field, but I imagine that the 'more intimate' size makes it seem more exciting.

Like with most sports, people get wrapped up in the drama side stuff rather than the contest at hand.
There are few sports that focus on the teamwork, athleticism, and endurance more than soccer. ...

They all have the interstitial ads and little cute crawlers that are always onscreen.
No escape.

Try V or Day for Night similar but different vibe. Better songs IMHO.

While I am in the house I have music playing.
Most of the time it's the Living Room Kef LS 50 wireless II streaming from my collection. It uses a 'similarity engine' to smooth the randomness
