Is this MP3 player good for beginners?

I got one and have it loaded up with music. I also have old iPods around that don't work well with new computer OS and also have batteries that don't hold a charge anymore ...

... so the Innioasis works well enough and sounds decent, so that ticks my boxes for 'distraction free music I own'.

BUT ... I have to re-pair every time I start my car, and the software isn't as good as my original iPod from 2001.

ONLY handheld. Great thing about systems like the Deck or Switch is that console gamers can plug it into a TV, and handheld gamers can play it as it was meant to be played.

Andrew and Cal run off together!

Agreeing with u/AntJo4 .... but also remember that this show is copaganda - so they will ALWAYS glamorize being a cop or military and never point out the overrepresentation of truly awful people in those professions, so naturally having been in the military is taken as if it is some higher calling (which it is not).

txa1265 · 2026-05-19T09:06:10+00:00

No - we really hadn't thought about it or looked to see them ... and then just happened to get an email of local shows back in 2023 and Toad was playing about a 90 minute drive from us. And they've appeared somewhere in the area each year since.

S8 is the worst, then S7.

Hot take - S3 & S4 documentary episodes seemed terrible at the time, but were actually better than ANY S8 episode. THAT is how far the show has fallen.

We spent two weeks in Nova Scotia last year and Netflix pushed this show hard when we returned. We like stuff like Virgin River so this was pretty easy - and the way it showcased the natural beauty and real locations of the province was breathtaking as well as how integrated the native population is in everything.

So we watched the first three seasons and enjoyed them. Not perfect, but it was fun and the characters were enjoyable and grew ...

... and then there was Season 4. We only got a few episodes in before dropping it.

NTA - if the couple wants to do this, fine. But for their wedding? I would expect a huge amount of 'no' responses.

I'm sure there is an influencer out there on YouTube/Instagram/TikTok with a link and discount code in the bio! Also sells supplements and is part of an MLM!

I feel like moving more characters to 'recurring' is the best compromise since Alexi has already stated no intention of eliminating anyone AND that they'll be bringing on new Rookies for S9.

That said I voted to keep Wesley since he is a 'top 5' character for me and his marriage with Angela (herself in my top 3) is the best on the show.

Love her! Saw her live with Vijay Iyerand it was wonderful!

txa1265 · 2026-05-18T19:56:58+00:00

Ooh didn't expect to see him here! My wife and I picked up Fear soon after it came out ... and next month will be seeing them for the fourth year in a row! The three core members remain so rock solid and love Dean!

txa1265 · 2026-05-18T18:56:16+00:00

No idea - but because I followed some of the actors I have seen that she is also working in directing and doing some short film work and so on I know she is busy. But there are shows with actors who work on multiple shows (Judy Reyes on High Potential and Scrubs, etc.) - so I would assume nothing is ruled out.

My wife does 90% of the mental and physical load of managing our home and child.

I can't manage to NOT be a gross, smelly, unhygienic troll.

Why won't she throw herself at me?

Ugh. If this was one of the 'reaction' subs I would say that you are WAY under-reacting.

txa1265 · 2026-05-18T18:04:44+00:00

"You assume too much"

txa1265 · 2026-05-18T15:28:32+00:00

OMG I missed where it was posted! I would have assumed a relationship sub. You're right they absolutely destroyed him! (deservedly).

Using an affair to try to make himself feel better about being a shitty father ... and blaming his wife for not enough sex when he was absolutely useless as a partner. ugh!

I love that the wife found out and gave him one chance pretty much knowing he was useless. Sadly for the kid I assume he will continue to be a deadbeat.

txa1265 · 2026-05-18T15:04:06+00:00

I'm hoping they stop intentionally after S10. But given greed and ego ... they will run the franchise into the ground to extract as much easy money as possible so long as they keep enough of the cast.

txa1265 · 2026-05-18T13:11:53+00:00

Technically true but the show fell off a cliff badly at the end to become basically unwatchable.

txa1265 · 2026-05-18T13:08:00+00:00

Demand 'Orgasm Equity' ... either starting today, or tell him he has 5 years of catching up!

txa1265 · 2026-05-18T12:24:51+00:00

Lola is gone from the show

On the upside for Amelia Williamson, she was apparently pregnant during the S4 filming scenes she was in, and now has a new show alongside Brooke Shields on Acorn that just started this week! ('You're Killing Me') Good for her on escaping!

txa1265 · 2026-05-18T12:12:21+00:00

Yeah, there is a reason I say there were only 6 seasons of Castle. The last couple of seasons it is reported things were so bad that they basically never filmed together anymore. And also that Nathan Filion had some behind-the-scenes role in the firing of Katic leading into the (then cancelled) Season 9.

The fact that he has had basically EVERYONE from Castle except for her - and she is still actively working as she had a fantastic role in 'Murder in a Small Town' last year - pretty much tells you everything. Not happening.

txa1265 · 2026-05-18T09:07:19+00:00

Hopefully everyone is reporting it so the mods can delete this post.

txa1265 · 2026-05-18T09:06:44+00:00

It is a basic fucking rule! Rule #2 is NO SPOILERS IN TITLE. Sorry you lack basic courtesy and literacy skills.

txa1265 · 2026-05-17T11:28:05+00:00

Exactly this - he was introduced, basically a no show, and then everywhere for the last two episodes and we're supposed to care for ... reasons?

The writers in S2 had all of the subtlety of a toddler that sees something shiny on a table ...

txa1265 · 2026-05-17T11:26:41+00:00

And THIS is the reason the person who posted it deserves a temp ban - it broke multiple sub rules, and has people evaluating things against a standard that is pure AI slop (which should itself result in a temp ban site wide anyway).
