This is like the high tech version of how I made mixed tapes as a teenager in the 90's. I’d video tape Much Music, making note of what videos were where and how long they were, then I’d plug my stereo into the audio outputs of the VCR to record to a cassette tape.

I use Soundflower and Audacity to record from my internal speakers...for educational purposes.

Happy to oblige. Forgot to mention: my Pop-Pop dubbed her Bessie, and she is my beautiful perfect girl.

Here’s a question - am I a bad parent for not letting my kid (2) on my phone (we do not own an ipad or tablet)?

I feel personally attacked

Alternate headline for this piece: Yogurts are a minefield.

It’s not an upgrade to replace MacOS, which is based on a true Unix, that can trace its codebase back to AT&T Unix codebase, with some hobbyist-developed Unix wannabe.

Some more successful people than I am have told me, in an unintentionally condescending way, that everyone has the same amount of time, only 24 hours a day, and it’s up to us to make something of ourselves with that time.

If you’re thinking to yourself, “self, I just don’t putz around on the internet enough.” Here’s a suggestion to completely suck all spare time you may or may not have:

I ordered 9 things on amazon this weekend and i hope my city wins the amazon 2nd HQ. The biggest employer here pays no local property tax and was incentivized to build here. Then it brought 20k professional jobs to the area. This town has gone through a massive boom because of them and its a great city.

Sorry, I’m going to continue stacking plates wherever there’s too much plate and too little table.

A lot of chain restaurants give you a shit ton of plates, though, and a itty bitty table for multiple people. One time I ordered an entree that arrived on three separate dishes and when I asked for a side of some kind of dressing, that came on yet ANOTHER plate. I genuinely thought stacking was helpful, so it’s good

It was a Rimowa, which is a high-end luggage brand that usually costs several hundred dollars... Reed never received the suitcase, was quickly refunded his payment of $700, and then went to Neiman Marcus to purchase it there instead. 

I’ll stick my head out here...

Plus, you can play the original Oregon Trail on the IIe without having to install an emulator.

I own crappy cars. I’ve had a lot of batteries die.

I didn’t want to blow their mind & by letting them know I’m half Irish & Callahan is not my slave name..lol..so I took the ‘friendly’ way out.

It’s absolutely going to take longer than doing a group buy. If you’re saving $100+ a ticket though, or even $100 in total I’d argue it’s worth it.

There is. It's called "paying a rabbi to bless the strawberries as kosher."
