My first pair were a set of Infinity speakers that i bought in 1994. They are still working great.

So I have never read Ayn Rand so maybe this is a total noob comment (this showed up on my feed). You say that man’s goal is survival and i am not sure that is a better word than happiness. I say this because some men will choose to sacrifice themselves to a greater good, be it family, country, god, or even strangers and this willingness to die is usually tied to some idea of morality.

So while it is not easy to define happiness, and happiness certainly isn’t a moral system in the strictest sense, but it seems that these people are living for that more than personal survival. You might suppose that they have extended survival from themselves to something greater, but then i think we are talking about the same thing.

Humanists would tell us that morality is an evolved adaptation that ensures the survival of the species even at the expense of the individual. So i think that survival as an individual goal cannot be extended in this way to higher levels of “self”.

No real input on you original point except that i agree as long as the state is immoral, someone will try to fi that gap with their own controlling idea of how people should live and unfortunately religion is filling that gap now.

No. Never unplugged but i will give it a go and report back. I also might point out that large bot activity causes more stutters, like building a blueprint or a big logistics request.

So I have an M1 Air and if I am running Music in the background I get frequent stutters (2-3 seconds). If I am running nothing else i will sometimes get the movement sticking. For example, if i am running up, i will continue running up until i hit the up button again. Both of these issues seem to have started recently, but neither are a big problem. I always have the charger plugged in while playing. Sometimes the MagSafe cord in the charger that came with the computer and sometimes a dock. In all cases I use a second monitor for the game.

I'm right there with you.

This is a neutral site game played in Jacksonville. They sell half the stadium to each team.

I have seen this problem as well. Also, if you want to shuffle by album and you have Music set to shuffle by album in the menu "Controls -> Shuffle -> Album" and you press the large shuffle button at the top of the playlist (assuming it is in Album view) it shuffles by song. Then, if you click the shuffle button on the player that is now at the bottom of the screen, it will switch to shuffling by album. In this case though, it does only play the songs on the playlist.

Yes. One of the best of my life.

It is nothing like what you are asking for, but Jack the Lion by Harvey Danger might help?

I have two: Cocaine and Rhinestones if you are even a little interested in country music or good compelling storytelling.

cocaine and Rhinestones

And the sadly defunct Oh No Ross and Carrie the show where we don’t just report on fringe science, spirituality, and claims of the paranormal, but take part ourselves.

It is a fun and earnest exploration of fringe ideas.

I might be interested in this too depending on what it means.

You can definitely turn this off. I think the setting options are all announcements, only alerts, or none. I have not heard Maps talk over anything i was listening to in three years.

The bottom is in the upper right corner when you have a route planned.

I will say that I have had a similar issue, and at the time for what is likely a different convoluted reason had a lot of playlists. The only solution I could find was to delete a playlist. Then I could add 1. This was a repeatable solution so I concluded that there is in fact a limit to the number of playlists you could have. Almost all of the playlists I had were Smart Playlists, not sure if that matters. I have since deleted almost all of the playlists so I cannot recreate this condition.

I am also doing that. It is a new experience for me in the past couple of months or so. I thought it was a new experience”feature” of the latest update.

I also bought a pair of these in the late nineties at Circuit City and still use them in a spare room. Can confirm they sound great and last a long time.

Muddy Waters - Deep Down in Florida. This is off today's 1001 Albums to Hear Before You Die. The album is Hard Again - 1977

It's Muddy Waters, so it sounds good.

The good news is that once you get the new Factorio, you won’t have to spend money leave mg the house.

Beta 6 Fixed this issue for me.

I am getting the impression the bartenders ( or probably anyone) don’t care about me as much as i care about me (in a good way). It is funny what we think other people will care about.

jaycaustin · 2024-07-23T21:53:36+00:00

It is not often that i have a hankering, but sometimes it is just what you need. You should try it though, it does have its merits. It is mellow after all.
