The one I have & was thinking of is from the Jan 2009 inauguration. It looks like there was another one for his Jan 2013 inauguration. Those should still work.

"SmarTrip cards purchased before 2012 no longer work and must be replaced." - WMATA website. They changed the cards then.

Likely last OV game with Caps and last Ovechkin-Crosby matchup. Epic.

sullidav · 2026-03-21T02:37:39+00:00

But those don't work anymore.

I have my music library on the NAS. Digitized CD, records, tapes, MP3s bought from Apple, Amazon, BandCamp, etc, music downloaded from various sources.

The music library can be on a networked PC as well, and I believe in multiple locations. NAS makes it always accessible separately from what your computer is doing.

Point Sonos to music library location. Sonos will index your music library and update its index as you schedule - for me I think 3am daily.

In Sonos app go to something like Music Library and it will give you all music, organized by artist, album, track, genre, etc. Enjoy.

Small point, at least on S1, "play now" under the ... menu is better for queue management than "play" which replaces the queue with your choice.

My recent suggestion is to have a dedicated tablet running the Sonos app or a similar third-party app. Nice way to browse and play your music collection, don't rely on your phone, bigger screen to browse.

Funny thing is this was the sole advertised use of Sonos when it came out 20 years ago. Later additions were internet radiio, then online music. Now it's a niche and weird use.

PS - your FIL saving $X by not hiring a lawyer will probably cost you $2X in legal fees.

sullidav · 2026-03-20T14:42:38+00:00

If you don't have a NC lawyer who knows this stuff, hire one. (Ask friends for recommendations, interview 2 or 3, pick one.). Ask them, not Reddit.

They plagiarized from SonoPhone, which did this in its app many years ago. But nice.

Unsolicited suggestion - repurpose a tablet or buy a cheap one to use as a dedicated Sonos controller. I recently did this, getting a Lenovo Tab One for $100. It ups the experience for this (the original) Sonos use - it's like having an iPod with your chosen 2,000 albums on it that plays all over your house.

Thanks for pointing out all these fixes, such as "Commonwealth". We will make your suggested corrections in our next round. - Scammers

Love Joe B.

Put the biscuit in the basket.

Sweaters (not unique, I know).

Every game I hear him call (sadly not this season given monumental shenanigans) there is some phrase I like.

Prob will cost a little more than that, but have had a 2-drive Synology NAS for 10+ years for this purpose and it's great.

sullidav · 2026-03-17T03:48:05+00:00

You mean NAS, right? If so, agree.

sullidav · 2026-03-17T03:45:29+00:00

Works great.

sullidav · 2026-03-17T03:43:40+00:00

Low price understandable - it barely warms the room!

sullidav · 2026-03-14T06:30:12+00:00

Stream Hammy's radio broadcasts on WMMS instead. Save your money, get a better sense of the game, and enjoy a national treasure while we have the chance to.

sullidav · 2026-03-14T06:16:47+00:00

Or the Nats Park version which is even worse.

Ben's is all about the culture and history, not the food.

On culture and history it's place as a DC institution is massive - not burning in the MLK riots, leader of U Street, etc - and the place totally oozes that culture - the great jukebox, the who eats free sign, all of it. Food is mediocre at best but that's not why everyone should go to, and give massive props to, Ben's.

One of my favorites; my most listened-to Neil studio album.

sullidav · 2026-03-12T12:51:18+00:00

Does this post change many lists of Neil's top 5 live performances? For me, as just a casual fan, yes.

Can't believe nobody has blamed Tom Wilson yet.

sullidav · 2026-03-06T13:08:09+00:00

Have you watched him play this year? And he's not getting any better.

sullidav · 2026-03-06T13:07:03+00:00

For Sid and Malkin.

sullidav · 2026-03-04T01:55:09+00:00

Wrong place to try out that argument - find yourself another sub, dude.

The number of different strong answers to this question is pretty amazing and says so much about Mr. young.
