my old system was Marantz receiver and equalizer, JVC turntable, Akai tape deck, Sony CD player and JBL speakers.
Not sure what happened to all these old components other than speakers deteriorated and the tape deck stopped working.

Audiophiles, would you rehab an 80's era linear tracking turntable & have to buy an amp & speakers? Buy something new that's ready to go out of the box? Are any of the Crosley, Victrola, Audio-Technica etc systems worthwhile?

Not planning on contradicting my wife, just wondering if I missed part of the news cycle.

Has anyone heard of a toaster spontaneously begun toasting then bursting into flames if left plugged in without actual bread product in its slot?

if Dr Harry Vanderspeigle wrecks my chair, do you think it'll still be covered by the warranty?

What's worrying one of America's largest chain stores? Not the lack of seasonal merch to sell, not the online memes about so many yellow sale tags you can't see the merch, not the overworked, understaffed departments that have begun calling out such in protest.
What worries them, is that no one is pacing at the front of the store to ask "hello, can I help you?" in a heartfelt way and the staff is not getting enough customer surveys. 🤯
That's what they're watching cameras & giving feedback on.

My hosting is up for renewal and I really can't justify the cost. Was going to try to transfer to a free host but I'm running out of time.
My question is, if I just let the host expire will my pages still be saved in WordPress?
Can I then sign up for a new host?
(I plan on renewing my domain registration)

#writerscommunity my website hosting is up for renewal, it's a lot of $ for something I don't really use. But, I'm reluctant to let it die. The site itself is #WordPress & I own the domain name.
If I renew the .com but not the hosting, what happens? Does WP offer hosting? WSID?

Even though it was 19° this lovely morning, the snow had finally stopped falling overnight and I was headed off to work. Pulled over on my country road to appreciate how beautiful some mornings can be.

Hey Dad's, do you just have to go to the local pub even though you're watching the small kids (divorced, giving the wife a break)? Get off your freaking phone and interact with your children (even the one trying to climb the window).

Ok, between Spotify and Bandcamp, they need to stop introducing me to bands I've not heard of before with big back catalogues.

latest thing to pop up is The Black Noodle Project.

Why is it, in SF, they send someone off on an extended solo space missions and they all go nuts after 6 months?
I'm not being antisocial, but I feel like if I had sufficient supplies (air, food, toilet paper) I'd be okay never interacting with another person. I'm okay I'm my own space.
