Either ambient instrumental music (lots of Brian Eno) or any music that I know all the words to (so that my brain doesn’t have to actively process the lyrics).

Yeah, definitely a place where society is lacking.

Agreed. For an example of station id happening at slightly off times, listen to a live sports broadcast (like baseball). Due to the shorter time between pitches, station id will instead happen between batters, which won’t line up with any given time.

Same thing with hockey, where radio station id will happen when the clock stops.

“Maximum Overdrive” for me.

Also, great call on Megaforce.

I’m not the original person in the thread, but I’m pretty anti-piracy. However, the bulk of my media spending is on musicians (with direct buying from an artist being my primary means of purchase).

With that said, I absolutely understand why so many people pirate movies/tv. Streaming for those is an absolute shit show.

Except from 1926 - 1947

Definitely this. There are utilities here with 5% service charges for paying online. I’d rather pay by check

It’s slowly coming back to me… There was a floppy disk that you needed to launch the raid config? Also the platform ran pretty well with debian 4.0 if you’re debating what to run on it.

For a non-pizza comment: I’ve been out of the hardware game for awhile, but the last time I had to set one of these up for RAID, the paper manual (which can probably be found digitally) was helpful. I also vaguely recall RAID 5 either having issues or being unavailable.

The gate crew often gets graded on how quickly they complete boarding, so don’t be surprised when your plane’s “full” overhead compartments are half empty. Stupid job metrics strike again.

The Forever War - Joe Haldeman A fantastic novel on the pointlessness of war, told through the lens of space opera / sci-fi

This reminds me a little of “A Tale in the Desert”.

Oh that’s definitely true. I was just surprised to see something similar (especially the avoiding eye contact) in the animal kingdom.

But where could it find a host to mutate in is everyone was vaccinated?!

“Contact” for a similar reason. It’s a mix of all motivations, along with people’s general mistrust of each other.
