The irony of a comment reviewing the bias of some article is that someone else will always claim that the review is also biased. It’s inevitable and unavoidable.

Using crontab to execute these kinds of quick fixes that don’t really solve the problem so much as reset the countdown to failure are the real Duck tape Linux hacks.
You probably know this and were referring to gummies or something, but it needs to be said that smoking is not advised after a tooth extraction or pretty much any dental work. Not a great idea before hand either as the weed (in any form) can make the drugs that the dentist gives you less effective and coming down from a large dose of those can be a worse pain than the stitches in your mouth.
Recently ran into this with an artist that did a cover of a song by a popular band from 40ish years ago and the cover artist had the gal to date their song to earlier than the original so it looked like they were the original when you searched for the song. The only clue to their trickery was to drill down into the individual song credits and the fan that they were a no name artist that self-labelled their genre as 80s rock, like no artist from the actual era would. Spotify will outright refuse to fix any of this bad metadata and tells you to contact their label, as if that will ever work.
I’ve fallen asleep during the third act extended fight scene of the last 5 Marvel movies I’ve been too that weren’t Deadpool. Same vibes. But, I still wouldn’t use them to try to sleep.
But if you’re looking for relaxing, echo-y, and resonant check out Brian Eno’s ambient stuff. Start with “Music for Airports” and go on from there to some of the others if you like it.
If you’re stuck on opera, maybe you’ll have interesting dreams trying to fall asleep to The Magic Flute. I’d probably just get the tunes stuck in my head.
Also, the genre of modal jazz is rather slower and more resonant than its more hip and excitable cousins. Might be worth exploring. Syncopation would keep my mind to active though.
“Sensors” sounds like a magical solution that hasn’t been thought through, but the marketing guys already sold it and won’t listen to the engineers explaining how difficult it is to actually build such a thing.
My insurance seemed to go down about as fast as inflation, so it feels like I’ve been paying about the same for decades. I didn’t really realize how much lower my rates were until I talked to some kids young adults.
I don’t think anyone actually misses them. The only people I’ve seen that are actually into them now are way to young to be nostalgic for them.
Cassettes seem to interest people pushing back against the trend of instant gratification singles. They like being forced to listen to an entire album. Sometimes it’s just the object itself as merch. and has no relation to listening to the music. Many people buying records and tapes have no means to play either. It’s also all ancient retro tech to them and a tape is just a portable record that won’t skip. Similar to the resurgence in popularity of film formats in photography. There is even an artist out there that released their new single on a wax cylinder format that is damn near impossible for anyone but the curator of an audio format museum to play properly. If you’re nostalgic for the trappings of a time that you never experienced, is that nostalgia or some other thing?
Obviously I was talking about the recording, not the album art. It’s like you’re going out of your way to misinterpret everything I’ve said that doesn’t already align with the way you think. Kinda super frustrating.
Yes, I want an unencumbered physical representation of the artists work, just like you’d expect from an art print or book. I thought I was pretty clear about that. I don’t want merch. I want the art. It’s my money to spend to support the artists the way I choose, not an argument you can “win”.
CD is dead and should be dead. Rip it and stream it, full stop. No need or reason to keep a degrading digital format when you can just rip it (full quality and store as FLAC) and stream it. That’s the whole point.
This sentiment is somehow hostile to both artists and listeners. That’s not the whole point. The whole point is that when I buy a thing (book, music, video), I own the thing and can store, backup, and transfer ownership as I see fit, not according to the whims of future licensing deals. I don’t want to buy what is basically an NFT of the music. I want to buy the physical object. I want to be able to physically transfer that object.
You’ll own nothing and like it I guess. Not me though. I’ve lived through too many failing companies, disappearing websites and services, hostile licensing deals that alienate and disenfranchise artists and fans, and general corporate greed. Let me buy the CD as directly from the band as possible. Let me take it from there and use whatever I choose for equipment, format, or software to enjoy it.
For the last few decades, very few people that have declared a popular media format dead have turned out to be correct.
That makes sense, but it’s going to confuse anyone that grew up with the many varieties of magnetic tape available. Look on YouTube for Techmoan if you want to go on a charming deep dive into archaic and niche media formats.
What are MCs? Do you mean cassettes? No body ever really called them micro-cassettes, (those were the thing you used to record messages on an answering machine or dictation) so that doesn’t really fit. Certainly not mini discs?
Sounds like an interesting premise for a musical.
This “clarification” is just even more confusing. Like do you mean, “What would be the effect on history if we could all see into the future, but only through song?” I guess I’d hope that we’d try better to stop 9/11, COVID, and Trump.
Likely more than just removed. I’m pretty sure that I left one too many scathing reviews of products that were defective by design or outright frauds, now I can’t leave any reviews.
Pay attention this time. Nobody said they weren’t different. I just said you seem to only like one aspect of the many varied aspects of the many varied Zelda games. Your reading comprehension skills are trash or you’re just burning straw men to make yourself feel better. Stop being a troll.
Since you haven’t played them,
So wrong there. I’ve played nearly every title. My favorite has been A Link to the Past. But, there will always be a place in my heart for the original. The N64 games were okay, but don’t hold the same childhood nostalgia. There’s a good chance I’ve been playing Zelda longer than you’ve been alive. You don’t know what you’re talking about.
No, I don’t think you can.
