I bought an old Volvo wagon for my daily/work car. It’s a 97 V70, has a 6 disc changer, and cassette player, but there is just something magical about tossing in a Black Sabbath, or The Who cassette and hitting the road. I’d almost argue cassettes have aged as well as vinyl, the faint hiss, the slightly washed out…

Also a big fan of Fly By Night from Rush.

Well magnetic tape storage on the whole is actually quite good, the Cassette tape (audio and video) just sucks as a media format. But for data storage? great stuff and quite reliable.

If you’re craving an album that’s basically just one long song, may I suggest the prog-rock band Dream Theater’s album Metropolis, Pt. 2: Scenes From a Memory. It’s the perfect road trip album. Lot’s of fast intense parts, but mixed with melodic chill songs too. I’ve listened to it probably 1,000 times start to finish.

“I’m gonna beat it till the white meat shows”

Well things would be different if the bobcat wasn’t being aggressive and trying to attack his wife/the pet. I don’t know how I would react but I would hope I would punt that little fucker like I’m trying for a 50 yard field goal, and if it came back, like Bernie Mac used to say I’m gonna beat it till the white meat…

It was an aggressive and likely rabid bobcat, you do whatever you can. If you want to hammer throw that thing, go for it. 

I get the throw, but I’m not crazy about it. I couldn’t tell you how I’d react, I guess probably the same, but I dunno, the animal lover in me cringes at that. Then again if it was trying to eat one of MY kitties, I suppose I would chuck a bobcat.

I smell emergency refresh on that front end for 2022/23

Damn, what a snooze fest this design is.... I can’t be the only one who just sees a blur of a corolla mixed with a jetta and a dash of accord....

That’s a lot of words to say, “It’s a car!”

They managed to make it as ugly as it is unremarkable.

I work in technology, so I can offer some insider information on why Spotify is doing this...

no - they invented the old SiriusXM unit that you used to have to mount before automakers started building the chipset into their OEM radios

Soo... Spotify just invented the head unit?

I think the reason why women are “constantly putting themselves in a situation for that bad thing to occur” is because men who think they can do what they want are found pretty much everywhere. The rate of rape would drop dramatically if men, you know, stopped raping.

Ask women about the precautions they take when…

Women (of all ages) are “constantly putting themselves in a situation for that bad thing to occur” because they have the audacity to leave their homes unaccompanied by men. Are you really suggesting they should not do that?

This is victim blaming.

I agree, this absolutely blows my mind. Like that it happened once, sure. But I would expect that person to be terminated. On a repeated basis I would not have guessed
