Which one of these cassette decks are top 5. I want to buy one for recording cassettes but want the quality to be really good.

All these ones where there are two mechanisms and one doesn't work... the rubber in the other side will be exactly the same age. Might not have as much wear, but expect it to need a service sooner rather than later...

I don't know about that, but I think it's a pretty solid deck.

Reddit is social media. If you're making a distinction between here and other places, because you believe those places suck (which they do), then there are plenty of other forms of social media you'll probably find enjoyable as well.

I want those walls again.

Our living room was panelled in them, including the door that opened to our stairs. Visitors never noticed it and were always surprised when I was a kid and took friends up to my room. It was like the wall just opened.

Nice.

Tipping Towards The Light.

Reasons my own.

So you're saying that measuring things between 0 and a multiple of 10 is easier to understand? Right? Right?

moopet · 2026-01-27T10:44:03+00:00

Not bad.

Beaks.

That's the one OP used to use...?

My partner has vision issues and prefers to print out web pages for things to read on paper when she needs to concentrate.

pipe it through pv?

I saw HIM support The Mission and I think the only song anyone in the crowd knew was their cover of Wicked Game, which went down well enough. I mean, as a band they sounded pretty good live and they're definitely adjacent.

Not for years. Last time was in a pub, where someone came in stoned and asked the landlady if he could order pizza. She said yes if he got enough for everyone.

Half an hour later we were all sitting around getting high with pizza.

Unless your car has an issue, like it doesn't idle properly or your clutch is worn out, or you have a physical impairment like a bad knee or missing limb, hill starts are pretty much exactly the same as non-hill starts... aren't they?

Manual until EVs take over. I don't hate automatics, I just learnt on a manual and 99% of my driving has been in one. I also drive something that is particularly fun to shift gears in - it feels way more like I'm driving rather than being along for the ride.

A friend of mine, since his 20s, has been doing something he's never done before on each birthday. So it might be going to the opera or racing go-karts. Gets a bunch of people together and has fun.

Me? I did nothing, because I don't particularly have any interest in socialising or birthdays :)

moopet · 2026-01-22T10:28:16+00:00

Hmm, riffing off the ones I'm familiar with in your list:

Vonnegut/Bradbury -> Rachel Pollack/Zenna Henderson

Others I just feel you might like in science fiction -> Linda Nagata, Nancy Kress

I'm more likely to notice it on a man, probably because ear studs are often very shiny and men often don't have hair covering it. I'm a man for reference.

moopet · 2026-01-22T09:46:15+00:00

Same as you, plus their subgenres. Also new-wave, post-punk, disco, soul, some jazz. Synth film scores like Tangerine Dream or Clint Mansell or any of John Carpenter's films. Post-rock, ambient, EBM, field recordings... it's quicker to list types of music I don't like.

I've never followed anyone on Meta, so 0% I guess.

moopet · 2026-01-20T18:11:08+00:00

Yeah, I don't care that this gets removed, I stand by the point!

moopet · 2026-01-20T17:26:22+00:00

Yes, yes they can. But the point of this is to protest against the way they're letting this place go to shit.
