Built a reliable audiophile quality music server and purchased Roon. Significantly cut down what I was spending on vinyl. Cost around $1000-1200 total which seems a lot, but that's really only about 30 records. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy the thousand or so I have, but price per record is just too high at the moment not to mention shipping from outside the US where most of what I like comes from. Now I have an easy to maintain and organized library available whenever I like, no cleaning routine and no getting up every 18 minutes to flip unless I'm in the mood.

I am wearing a posture corrector for 20 mins each day.  Always had terrible posture and sitting down most of the day to drive or be at my desk does not help.  Means standing with correct posture after 40 odd years of not doing so is actually quite a challenge, even for 20 mins a day.

Haha that must be the most inefficient and confusing revolutionary conspiracy ever. How would that even work? By using more than two pronounce you will have the violent urge to install a socialist dictator in your country?

Metallica - 72 Seasons
Testament - Low

Very true.  Thanks to internet and social fragmentation, stupidity and ignorance are becoming espoused as legitimate view points by people who should know better.

Bolt Thrower - In Battle There Is No Law

I try to shy away from this sort of dialogue with most people in the real world. The timbre and volume that the discourse begins at is simply too pitched and too loud to expect that it might end in anything but a hostile impasse. For the most part in my current corner of the world the complaint I hear most often is one of fatigue. When vast swaths of the entertainment industry are so dismissive due to being completely insulated from half of their audience and what they actually think, it probably does sound like radical zealotry to set a  character like the Punisher as sympathetic, anti-hero or otherwise. I don't really think changing the comic book cannon for one character would really be a problem for most, but over the past five years or so, it's become harder and harder for me to deny that the homogeneousness of the industry's political leanings is present in almost anything they put out. It's reflected everywhere.
I still hesitate to call it 'indoctrination' or 'propaganda'. Those words are so charged at this point it feeds into the view that the dissenters are nothing but a bunch of unhinged lunatics, but it's ubiquitous nature really becomes grating when you can't even participate in the escapism that a creative work is meant to nurture because you can see the cogs in the creator's brain trying to construct his or her take on a formerly beloved property around his or her idealistic viewpoint rather than worrying about the quality of the work. When this happens it results in damage to the property in question, damage to the reputation of the business that puts it out, and a complete deafness toward the large amount of their target audience's desires that, if left unchecked, quickly turns into the death knell of any art form: contempt for your audience.

In this day and age not really. There were doctors and nurses through covid who didn't believe it was real. There is politicians that don't hold the same beliefs as their party. There's teachers who hate kids but stay in the profession. People are weird, they do weird things and they believe what they want to believe.

Incubus -  Beyond the Unknown (1990)
 

3 currently. Ours, the one we bought for our daughter, and the one my wife inherited from her parents. Getting ready to sell the last one though. Insurance and upkeep is murder in Floridaland these days.

Dying Fetus - Make Them Beg For Death
One of those bands that's always fun to listen to.
Absolutely love the cover!

I actually do in the garage. 1962 Sylvania console tv combo record player. Belonged to my grandmother. Made from solid oak. Weighs a ton and is absolutely bomb proof. Will easily survive the apocalypse. Planning to restore it one day when I find the time. Well restomod anyway.
Still have a rotary phone at one of our houses too, although we disconnected service 2 years ago. Way easier to use for my wife's elderly parents who could never get the hang of cell phones. Great backups when a hurricane comes and knocked down all the cell towers too. I miss the landline days sometimes. Shit was simpler then and the expectation to be available 24/7 365 didn't exist.

Determined innocent by an internet of his peers.
