Back when a 4 minute song was like 1.5MB so you could fit more music on your 256MB mp3 player because you could not afford an iPod.

There’s the federal volunteer service, which is the spiritual successor. Basically the same thing, but without being forced into it. There also voluntary social or ecological years, which is kind of the same thing as well.

Maybe try getting an MEP for Greens/EFA or the Left?

Also, why should we hail the size of energy drink cans?

Not to defend the Nazis here, but working prisoners to death predates them by a couple millenia. They just did it on an unprecedented scale.

Ironically, what the Nazis did in the extermination camps was mass executions, i.e. the very thing anon finds wasteful.

The catalogue seems largely identical to Spotify, but Tidal has higher quality music (I recently found an album in Dolby Atmos).

I also found their app to be more intuitive (which is not exactly a high bar compared to Spotify).

Most importantly though, Tidal has better rates for the artists instead of paying Joe Rogan.

They did a video about alternatives to Adobe a while back. And while they generally liked and praised programs such as Affinity, they did conclude that as a company, even minor losses in productivity (e.g. for their editors) quickly add up.

So yeah, it would not be the first time they present and praise alternatives even of they don’t end up using them.

Don’t worry, we have that registry in Germany as well. And you have to pay to get your own data from them (although a GDPR request works once a year)

There was a specific number that was repeated across a lot of papers in my field, always citing the same source.

That source did have the number, but it cited another paper for it, which itself cited yet an older paper. Im not sure where the citations went bad, but that last paper for not actually contain the value everyone waschain-attributing to it.

The number was fortunately still correct though (and people would have noticed pretty quickly if it wasn’t).

In other words, the question becomes: “Is an egg defined by the creature that laid it, or the creature that will hatch from it?”

One other thing here is that the sensitivity of the detection is actually decreased with repeat attempts. This is pretty standard.

The reasoning here is that people will check after the first failure. And if they then send the close request again, the car will try a bit harder. Maybe it’s just some bit of oversized luggage that can be pushed down.

The Stormlight Archives feature a significant amount of battles, many of which are epic.

• The return of Bridge 4.

• The entire climax of Words of Radiance. The battle, the storm, the hero coming down the mountain side from the sky.

• “You cannot have my pain”

Should have been a short series instead, the worldbuilding had potential.

A simple (albeit inconvenient) way to improve safety in this case is to prohibit turning left and allowing for a U turn somewhat close by.

nothing but suvs on their lots

Not true. They also have trucks

“I build for China”

I agree that live shows (and buying merch) is the best way to support artists.

But the CDNs required to run a music streaming service are anything but cheap.

I switched to Tidal after Spotify announced the price increase. The catalogue is basically identical, the apps are much more intuitive, and the audio quality is higher (they recently rolled their premium FLAC subscription into the basic one).

I had to retrain the algorithm for a bit, but that was not so difficult. There are services that can migrate/convert playlists which might actually work for favourites as well.

Also, it’s easy easier to download stuff from Tidal, which is very nice for listening to Audiobooks with a dedicated player.

Genius. If you export some of the apes, the remaining population requires less habitat, leaving more room for plantations! /s
