This was always one of my favorite renditions of it. I had it as my desktop background for years.

If you need to stay nearly-liquid, another option through Ally is the No-Penalty CD.

Withdraw your full balance and interest earned any time after the first 6 days of funding your CD.

Current rates are 4.55% APY, vs just 4% for just their Savings Account.

Speaking personally, I had 0 trouble at all with dissolving the no penalty CD exactly as-stated.

It's apparently a great way to become single, soon.

If you ever find one that can be rolled up compactly and is a single wire, I'll buy one for each of my friends.

I fucking hate the whiny answer of "but my/most existing headphones had an aux so I don't like USB-C."

The biggest factor for me is that it simply makes it impossible to charge your phone and use wired headphones at the same time without a special splitter adaptor... Which itself is impossible to roll up with your headphones.

It's designed to be such an inconvenience to the point that you're actually just incentivized to buy wireless headphones. And since it was Apple, that of course meant their very expensive Airpods.

That said, I happily use wireless Bose headphones now anyway, but I did have to ditch my audio technicas for that reason.

@Ertebolle Voici la grande peur!

Well, yeah, and I have a good number of clients who are good at setting their quality settings to original and the like, to the point that I haven't had to worry about it.

This is mainly about my idea that I'd only like to have 4k HDR content, and it gets transcoded down appropriately for people's clients/bandwidth (the number of users who are stuck behind shitty 10 mbps xfinity is astounding...)

@oDDmON there's no way this isn't trolling... You're not going to have trouble finding star trek on bit torrent.

@kevincox does anyone other than me even still have motherboard speakers?
