Etymology is interesting, I agree. I also find language in general fascinating. You might consider studying some basic linguistics, either academically or via youtube. How language works is really interesting, IMHO.

I would buy some shitty old desktop off ebay and use that to rip CDs. Almost any old PC with DVD or CD drive will do this easily...preference on a DVD drive because you can do more with it like play DVDs.

I still sort of do what you describe. My truck has a CD player in it and I've bought a lot of CDs for cheap in the last few years. I do also have an MP3 player but I have not changed the music on it for a long time now.

I don't let my purchased CDs out of the house now. Baking them in my truck seems like a BAD idea. I copy them using something like this: https://store.microboards.com/CDDVD-Duplicators_c_37.html . I got the 2 drive one from someone on Craigslist for $50.

I also bought this CD player: https://www.amazon.com/Studebaker-SB3705BW-Portable-wirelessly-Coordinated/dp/B092KNSWH9/ref=sr_1_9?crid=38LK1C3LHFN0Y&keywords=studebaker+cd+player&qid=1694140260&sprefix=studebak%2Caps%2C486&sr=8-9

Thing is pretty awesome. Outputs FM radio from your CD with good "skip protection". I was considering paying for Satellite radio on a rental car before I bought this. Now I can play my music on any car. And on several receivers in my house at the same time. I can make my own little radio station. So it really extends the usefulness of my CDs. I can also take it hiking / biking / etc. because of the great skip protection (60 seconds!).

I think an elongated seat/toilet makes sitting down much easier and more comfortable. Round seats/toilets really suck for a man.

I think they make box extenders that might help this situation.

I thought I read some years ago about a supreme court ruling that "fictional" abuse material was legal because there is no real victim. Maybe that has been superseded by later rulings.

I recognize a Menards price tag when I see one.

Imagine if a vehicle actually cost the IRS mileage rate. Adds up VERY quickly.
