Never updating your browser again is a pretty bad idea when it comes to security

Better yet, don’t connect cars to the internet. Why does everyone care so much about a shitty tablet in the middle of the dash? I am so much happier to not have it.

Watch next year’s models have LTE modems…for your convenience of course

I think it’s the tendency of producers in that era, around 2000-2010 was peak Loudness War, and many albums were pushed into clipping. IMO it started getting better through the 2010s as the emphasis on radio charts started to wane and listening habits shifted away from earbuds and portables.

That may be a thing with some releases, but I’m convinced that the original pet sounds and even the MFSL mono release are very inferior to that one HDCD stereo release. Still I’m listening to in 16bit/44kHz form, but to me it sounds way higher fidelity and likely is closer to the source. I can pick out instruments and sounds that I didn’t hear in the other version.

In general though I find modern ‘remasters’ are horrible and compressed and I think it’s lame that services like Spotify usually have only the most recent (and therefore worst) version of a given album.

May the source be with you

What’s interesting is just how different the quality was of some of the stereo releases vs the mono bounces. For an example, the stereo HDCD version of Pet Sounds is a little wack, but even if you joined the two channels to mono it sounds a hundred times better than the shittastic mono release. Got to wonder if they optimized it for AM radio play the way that similarly awful sounding releases in the early 2000s optimized for iPod earbuds.

You see what happens?

Right, it’s remembering them and using them efficiently that’s hard. It’s amusing watching coworkers try to flex in vim and then struggle at the most basic tasks.

The issue is that right now I’m willing to put in the extra effort for the return early in my career. If the government were to effectively cap income potential, some workers who would otherwise be more productive (or who perform a highly specialized service) will not bother, creating a labor shortage and increasing costs. Not a smart move if you’re a country with an inflation problem that’s been trending very close to full employment.

It would also make occupations like medicine that have long runways to earning even less attractive.

People volunteer for causes they think are worthy. I would never do the work I get paid to do for free or for 10% of gross pay. I’d just find a less stressful job, work way less and make about the same.

What incentive is there to keep working at a 90% tax burden?

I think you’re onto something. There was an Active Self Protection video (channel recaps real life self-defense scenarios) today of a home invasion where the attackers definitely knew the place, and there were drugs in the open.

Edit: totally forgot the cherry on top, there was a gun lying out when they came in, and one of the intruders grabbed it immediately.

Don’t invite untrustworthy people into your home period (this is an extension of the 5th crack commandment), lock your doors and keep your gun in a holster.
