The Amazon near me has a “Just Fuck Off” policy. They redecorated the old Toys R Us building a few years ago and then never bothered to open the store.

Anything’s better than Blippy

Nah, Google was a thing by the time Napster was around. If you were hip enough to know about one you probably knew about the other. You’d get an idea by figuring out what genre the artist was, reading reviews, just seeing where discussion was taking place. Not by listening to it, you’d have to queue it up to download and wait while hoping your source didn’t go offline before it downloaded. And yes, even at 56k you could load and read text while downloading MP3s, it was just slow.

Once you found the song and started downloading it you had plenty of time to browse the rest of the library of the person you were downloading from. That could lead to finding stuff you never heard of that you would like. The only catch was that you couldn’t listen to it immediately, but you could Google what you found to get an idea of what it was and go from there.

Over 20 years ago, the internet was revolutionized through free music file sharing. Today, Napster’s legacy lives on through websites that rip YouTube’s audio.

Is this guy a boomer or a zoomer? It sure seems like he doesn’t know that what made Napster great wasn’t really the downloading so much as how it facilitated discovering new music. Looking through other people’s collections while the thing you came for downloaded was amazing.

Edit: I looked it up, Zoomer

Dude’s delusional thinking he’s going to crush Mayo Clinic while his employees pass COVID back and forth. Straight goofball thinking.

Better put ‘gun free zone’ on that sign, just in case

This logic is equivalent to a bank saying, “It’s not our fault your money got stolen; you should have had a better lock on your front door.”

Isn’t that exactly what the bank would tell you if someone stole your personal info from your home and used it to empty your account?

This author is a dumbass.

I generally avoid self-checkout and never use it if I have a manually entered item.

At a certain point you’re just denying yourself the savings. Go get that informal employee discount!

but I do want 200 miles of range

But why?

It seems like many people (me too) base what they think they’ll need off of what they’re accustomed to. My car will get 275-300 miles out of a tank of gas so it just seems crazy to accept less than half of that. But I don’t actually drive that much. Trips where I start full and have to refill before my destination are very rare. Doubling the refueling stops and extending their length wouldn’t actually bother me much, especially considering that for my day to day my car would just charge overnight and I never have to go out of my way for it. I guess what I’m getting at is that if I really think about it, a 110-150 mile range is probably about as much as I should be paying for.

Pathfinder 1 is only built at 1:10 scale though, so it’s actually much larger than Cargolifter.

Different filaments will print differently, so it might not be the firmware
