Cross platform needs rule out a lot. and trying new music managers on a 500GB library is not exactly a trivial task.

I use soap because adding rancid fat flavoring to my food isn’t desirable.

Seasoning is not that fragile.

CDs are a better purchase than digital music if the same price is offered. And the profit margin is higher for the artist. Self-archiving at a higher rate than most offered downloads... and people snicker when you tell them you buy CDs. Personally, I prefer vinyl with download codes, but still have a wall full of CDs

I have no m4a or m4p files. I’m far brighter than that.

I rate music managers by a pass/fail system. If they are better than iTunes, it passes. If they are not, they fail.

Unless Winamp has recently (within 2 years) gotten very good with large (over 500GB) libraries with thousands of albums, I doubt it falls into the

I’m a PC user (desktop), an Apple user (laptop) and have had a few Linux boxes. I’m aware that there are music managers, and I’ve tried many, but only iTunes fits my needs across platforms. Of course on the PC it was mind-numbingly slow.

I’m stating that Apple will not leave us without a way to load songs onto their

You and I are in the minority.

I need a media manager. File and folder do not work for me.

And yes, I keep a library of music. None of the streaming services have everything of what I need, paying for a streaming service that is more limited than my own already-purchased library is silly.

Bah, ride it in a parking lot until you fly the chair and it doesn’t surprise you and hit the road.  


I know. Because it isn’t about congestion, its about a revenue generation stream.

And NYC isn’t going to make any exceptions to vehicles that they quite obviously do not want there.

Electric motorcycles take up less space. Hell, if we are talking congestion, all motorcycles should be exempt.

If they’re gonna try to float the whole idea that we need to pay for the roadspace we are using, they need to understand they need specific motorcycle pricing.

If they want to reduce emissions, they need to charge accordingly, and have discounts for electric and low emissions vehicles.

But what this feels like

I was waiting for worthwhile software for it, thought Borderlands VR was it... Enough so, I felt justified in starting over a game i have spent more hours playing than any other game. Then I tried it. The controls, navigating the menus and vending machines took two and three times to get the view right... it was very

“What are these?” she asked. Dumbfounded, I looked and saw no one waiting in line behind me. “Alligator Pears”. She looked and looked.

“Oh, they are also called ‘avocados’.”

Another cashier rang me up for cat food. “Oh, you have a cat?”. Intentional pause ... “No”.

I’m probably better off at the self-checkout.

While it is tempting, I would have problems with doing that.

If a human rings me out, I need to watch the the screen for the inevitable error. $12.99 for Brussel Sprouts? Nope, that’s cabbage - you don’t even sell brussel sprouts by the pound, I don’t know why it can be rung up. ‘What are these?’ to Limes, Avocados, and other things that someone that works in grocery check out

Tying maximum speed to geofencing is something I want to avoid. Particularly during teacher’s strikes, weather closures, floating holidays, etc.

Some of these nannies are getting more and more annoying. Please stop supporting this bullshit.

It is unreasonable that I could not drive the speed of the flow of traffic. As I have seen that above 90MPH, this is too low a maximum speed. Then I’d have to remove myself from that roadway as any reasonable drive would, and take surface streets. All because I bought the wrong car.

In California, You are given a choice for MSF and Total Control motorcycle classes. As an instructor for both, I recommend Total Control for the BRC program for absolute beginners.
