Would now be a bad time to say that it's queued behind Wind and Truth, and I'm only at the beginning of day #2?

I've been using my HiFiMan HE400se's for 18 months, and they've been amazing. I think I paid like ~$110.

He was just great. He made some amazing music, some forgettable music, and never stopped. He did a few shitty things, didn't pretend he hadn't, and did a ton of good. That face didn't hurt. I can even forgive him for the shitty goatee from his 50th birthday concert.

Training myself NOT to click on NYT links has been difficult, but overall worth it. The AP, the Guardian, and Al Jazeera have filled in most of the gaps.

I agree, Senator, but that has to include imposing Section 3 disqualification on Donald Trump. So far, no Democrats have shown a stomach for that fight. Will you be the first? www.damemagazine.com/2024/12/03/k...

I strongly feel that starting around "Memnoch the Devil," Anne Rice decided she didn't need an editor anymore. I could barely slog through her subsequent books.

I had a conversation with a good friend about this topic, and their take was "I find these companies and their employees in contempt of the social contract, and they are no longer protected by it."

My biggest regret about going with the Google Nest devices over Alexa is that I don't have the option to use "Computer" as the prompt. I want that so badly.

I have a Sun Microsystems 17-inch CRT monitor with these connectors, but never had anything else that it could connect to.
