Spot-on re: 1. When I saw that I thought, “why fucking bother with these people?” Don’t Coachella/Burning Man/SXSW demographics comprise primarily techbros and other guillotine fodder nowadays?

It’s by design though, isn’t it? Are there even any crypto green flags? Why are any of these ventures treated as anything other than rug-pull scams?

Conscience and consciousness are not the same thing

That’s kinda like how “underbed” was for me; like, how do you underb something? Or derb it in the first place, for that matter?

I had Liam Howlett’s mixtape, Prodigy Present the Dirtchamber Sessions Volume 1, in constant rotation for a quite a while there

Kid A was already out by then, I’m pretty sure Amnesiac dropped in ‘01

Patent trollery, but white hat? I can get behind that

Plungers wrapped in cheap tinfoil, don’t want to give them anything they can melt down and sell

Stand up, raise your hands, and shout, “McDonald’s!”

I quit with apps on LG after whatever I was watching or doing would cut out with an error message saying that the TV was out of memory. It was particularly egregious when I was playing video games. Now I have a Roku sound bar, but look where that’s gonna get me.

I did that back in the ‘90s on a TI-85 while everyone else in my class was sideloading Tetris onto their fancy TI-86es and laughing at my poor ass; iirc there was already a function built in for solving polynomials though so not only was I a poor loser, but I also wasted my time

You better start believing in huge 3D printers

…you’re in one!

He already had a circlejerk with another poster talking about how China can do it in days (because no osha, you know), and then! said it could also be done more inexpensively by reusing the steel from the collapsed bridge, that, you know, is structurally compromised by the collapse and I can’t imagine the water it’s submerged in is good for its integrity either

I was more into rock back then but that is absolutely a good call

Honestly, the most memorable thing about this movie, to me, is U2’s single from the soundtrack

Ugh gotta adjust the goddamn tracking again

It’s the only way I support the death penalty, it’s just too bad none of them have been condemned

Ahh, perfect, thanks, I genuinely appreciate it. I should have done that myself, shouldn’t I?

Hm, digital downloads count as physical media? I might? be able to see the merit in that classification but I’m not entirely convinced.

I want to know what “other” is that is also clobbering CDs. Can’t say it’s streaming because it’s physical media. The article mentions that half a million cassettes were sold, but that doesn’t really answer the question. That “other” takes up a lot of space relative to CDs so I’m pretty curious.
