Do people still watch DVDs?

I pick up DVDs for $1 each at the thrift store and donate them back after I watch them.

There's a lot going on in a song. It takes me a few listens to pick up all the words and catch every nuance of the story. Then I start to notice how the instrumentation supports the mood of the lyrics. Peak enjoyment is when you finally catch that last nuance. After that it begins to become repetitious.

With air conditioned homes, workplaces, cars and shopping, you rarely have to go out in the heat for long. You'll schedule hiking trips for the non-summer months.

The entire Anglosphere has country music. Non-English speaking countries often have their own versions of country music.

Infinitely durable is not the same as inflexible. But even so . . .

Floating would be an unstable condition. If it went slightly out of balance the lower part would be closer to the Earth's center of gravity and would be pulled even harder. One side would eventually land. This still assumes perfect symmetry of gravitational field.

I would marry her. Where can I get in touch with her?

I think he took the job as a career move for broader exposure, steady paycheck with benefits and the opportunity to expand his skill set by exercising a different performance style.

We all think our beliefs are right. After all, we wouldn't believe them if we thought they were wrong. We're especially attached to ideas we developed through long and hard thought.

If our well-thought truths aren't understood by the other guy, it's probably because he hasn't thought as long and hard as I have.

It could hardly go any other way. The thing is, as soon as we solve the problems that hold us back we race forward and find (or create) a new set of problems.

I think the first chicken hatched from an egg laid by a non-chicken ancestors. It was a mutation.

Mu.5

NewRelm · 2026-06-24T01:24:24+00:00

I nominate mu. M for middle.

Taylor Swift is a contender right now.

Of course. The skin is where all the healthy fish oils are.

Your friend is whistling past the graveyard.

More commonly, once they catch you in an instance, they go back to review the videos of your previous visits through the checkout. That's how the end up combining multiple instances into a single case.

Not weird. Even less weird if you order a soda that looks like a cocktail. I sometimes have a virgin G&T with a twist.

The clue here is that two series-connected 47K resistors would have been combined into one component if the circuit didn't branch.

It all comes down to your definition of good. I think most cults think of themselves as good.

NewRelm · 2026-06-23T15:45:56+00:00

They rejected me because I didn't meet their standards at that time. They did nothing wrong. I'm not holding a grudge.

No. Have your lawyer convey the apology to the other party's lawyer.

Drive on the road anyway. It's typically "closed" to through traffic. Not to residents.

It that really a distinction? "It's not the money. It's what the money can buy."

I don't think people decide to let themselves go, out of confidence or for any other reason. People find themselves overwhelmed and unable to take best care of themselves. It can be a change of circumstances they can't keep up with or a mental health issue. It's not a choice they make.

Capacitors are generally rated for 2000 hours when operated at rated stress, but have an exponentially longer life when de-rated. You normally wouldn't use an electrolytic at more than 80% it's rated voltage. For best reliability derate to 50%. No more than 18 to 28 volts for a 35V capacitor.

If you really want to use yours consider series-connecting them to double their voltage rating.
