Over my headphones it definitely bumps. I'm heading to a big record store near me today that has a ton of CDs and vinyl so I will definitely try to find more Miami bass. I ripped it to my media NAS and will put it up when I get set up on a p2p client!

 

What I mean by that is, what is the one CD in your collection that is out of character compared to the rest of your albums. For me, it's this Miami bass compilation from the late 80s called The Miami Bass Express. I saw it at the thrift store for $2 and decided to give it a go. Definitely not something I would normally listen to, but it's kinda fun to put on once in a while.

With a mom like this he's probably homeschooled.

I just dumped Duolingo after this AI bullshit and am testing Mango Languages. So far I like it, but it is way different than Duolingo. Way less gamified and more focused on speaking. Plus, it gives cultural context to certain phrases that don't literally translate, which I find interesting and valuable. if you are in the US, your library might offer a free subscription with your library card.

I don't give a fuck what Alex Jones thinks.

Schumer is really letting the mask slip lately. Time for him to go.

I really appreciate this take. It was able to capture something I couldn't properly articulate. I am learning programming as a hobby and I am actively trying to avoid LLMs and other things I see as "cheating" because I want to actually learn how to program, not just copy and paste AI slop. Plus, the exercise of having that mental model of what you're doing is what appeals to me since it's forcing me to think in ways that I am not accustomed to thinking. That's the appeal for me. Not the act of mashing a keyboard and hoping something usable comes out.

Exactly. There is a way to do what they're doing that isn't so blatant and ham-fisted, but none of these fucking idiots have any tact or subtlety. Elon thought people would be cheering him on, instead we all want to see him, Trump, and all the other oligarchs hang all because he blew his load too early in the plan to destroy the government.

I think the complete blackout is misguided. If we want to make a real difference, stop shopping at Amazon, Walmart, Target, Whole Foods etc. and replace them with locally owned businesses. I am not going to not get lunch from the mom and pop vietnamese restaurant down the street as a way to stick it to the oligarchs. It makes no fucking sense.

I've also read that the other parties have stated that they will not form a coalition with th AfD, so Trump's friends will not have a seat at the table.

 

Hey all, I'm looking for battle belt recommendations for range days. I currently have a Canik MC9, but plan on getting a 2011 as well. Any belt recs for holding a holster and a couple of mag holders and maybe a cell phone case?

Not the person you were replaying to, but the winds of power have shifted and she is trimming her sails accordingly. She may have run espousing LGBTQ+ policies because that was the smart political thing to do, but now that Musk, et al are in power, these people can drop their "politically correct" act and show us who they really are, which is a bunch of intolerant, power-hungry fascists.

Can't even make this shit up anymore.

I'm not super familiar with Nick Cave, but I like this album and had to pick it up for $3. The case is in excellent condition to boot.

 

Recently grabbed this Nick Cave double album Abattoir Blues / Lyre of Orpheus from my local Goodwill. Totally random and completely out of left field from the stuff I typically see on the shelves there.
