They are people who have fallen for and/or are grifting for a deeply unhinged conspiracy theory that national laws don’t apply to them if they do some certain set of pseudo legal things. What exactly those things are, as well as what laws don’t apply to them,vary widely, but are usually centered around driver’s licenses and car registration, tax evasion and not paying child support.
Past that it’s hard to explain what their beliefs are because it is so vague and ever changing.
Yeah, and unfortunately I'm related to them. The maternal side of my family has pretty much split in two and aren't talking to the other half nowadays because of shit like this.
There are lots of options, use a CD changer, burn a mix CD, listen to the radio, run a pirate radio station. I'm not saying that physical media is always better in every situation, but neither is streaming. I like having the option depending on the situation.
I love physical media because it’s just much easier to use. If I want to play some album in my car I put the cd in and press play. No fumbling around with search or menus, just put a disc in a slot and done. If I want a friend to listen, read or watch something I hand them a small object and they have it. No need to text them the title so they can search for it later and then forget it.
Christ do I feel old now. CDs and DVDs are read only, so you won’t do anything to them by ripping them. It’s just a copy of the data onto your drive and then probably a compression step of some sort. Nowadays it probably takes less than five minutes for the whole thing. I remember taking at least half an hour on a 2x drive, and then mp3 compression taking another hour or so.
I’d suggest Shadowrun: Dragonfall. Fairly simple mechanics, character building and inventory. Great storytelling and characters in a familiar but fantastic setting.
After getting annoyed at New Vegas, I picked up Red Dead Redemption 2 and have been really enjoying it. I kind want to get a cowboy hat, not ironically. My wife would probably hate it though.
I keep wanting to like New Vegas, but find that after a few hours it becomes more of an inventory management game than anything else. Has anyone had success with getting mods running under Linux?
Heart attack. I’ve had a lot of problems with strep in my life due to an immune gap, which tends to weaken your heart.
