Yeah! Did that once, many years back. took a couple weeks. Used a ripper program that went out on the net and got all the metadata, saved to a HD (now on the third one). Put the CDs in Logic cases (no-wear), recycled the jewelboxes.

Over time, started to drop album folders into VLC, save the playlists, at ur fingertips.

FLAC is good, but not necessary for background listening. At 192k the average song is ~ 5Mb. 100k x 5 = 0.5 TB.

With a long, varied list of select internet radio stations, you can choose what genre (or special weekly show) you want to listen to at the moment. Picked by people, not algorithms. Keep a playlist of the stations you like best, startup your player (like VLC) with the list, and pick the one you’re in the mood for.

Or you could just collect mp3s locally for choosier days, dump a bunch of them into VLC, listen to them in album or random order. In either case, at no cost.

Good point. Messages sent, images taken, and ‘things happen’ in cars.

And a LOT risky

Remember that movie? “We want BWYAN!”

Is there really anyone left who -would drink it?

Instant coffee, instant sex … not pleasant, but over with quik. Now - get back to work. Slacker.

Are there any celebrities that are confirmed to be using lemmy?

Sheesh I hope not. Aren’t their marketers doing a good enough job? Many celebs want to be treated like ordinary people (which they all are, aside from their cardboard cutouts) and the last thing they need is be mobbed by idolators.

Stop googling! Try your search ‘Donald trump Antichrist’ at duckduckgo. The link at my first DDG result pointed out this article: https://hartmannreport.com/p/is-donald-trump-the-antichrist

What’s weird to me is that people think that a 2000-year-old story of mixed historicity (a story which fell into the control of the Romans and their church … and 2000 years later the ‘Dead Sea Scrolls’ fell into the hands of scholars who failed to publish for decades) … that has been translated and interpreted and re-interpreted by anyone/everyone that whole time … can be relied on for any clues at all. The prophesy may have already happened, or simply be a horror story to scare children.

Good question. Many good answers. Put them aside and you still got a string made of multiple fibers that rub against each other. I’d guess that after a few hundred yards (depending on the string), the energy of your pull would be turned into heat by internal friction alone.
