60 miles away from the broadcast center, but luckily in a very flat area. I still have an old-school antenna set up on a tower and rotor, and can pull in between 25-30 stations if you include the digital substations.

I got this set up from Radio Shack in the early 80s. Cable made me regret it for a long time, but let's hear it for laziness allowing me to get good use out of it since I clipped all but internet service.

Bonus: you can split out the signal and hook the antenna up to home stereos, and get TONS of FM stations that even my car won't pick up.

Old stuff gets useful again! Yay!

I've been quite happy with antennapod. Discovery is kind of a pain in the ass, but it's open source, and management and playback have been solid.

First time I've seen your username and I laughed for a solid three minutes. I was on the edge of a breakdown, and it was exactly what I needed to distract my brain and keep me from going over the edge. Thank you so much.

Excellent photo, too. Well done!

I admire your positive thinking, but it may also provide plausible deniability for legitimate CSAM, by your own logic. Either way, I see this being used to bully, blackmail, or worse. It's not that we are going to stop AI development, nor that we should. Perhaps as it improves (remember, right now it's the worst it will ever be), we can teach AI to recognize when it may be used for purposes like creating realistic CSAM or other such material, and have it log or report such uses.

I honestly don't know the solution, but I don't see the world ever getting "ho-hum, it's all fake anyway" about minor involved pornography.

Looks delicious, and like a great meal for morning energy.

What's the drink?

Indiana and Wisconsin USA here. Approaching 50, and learned back in high school, as well as driving old tractors. My first car, a classic even when I got it, was a 63 Chevy Bel Aire manual. Drove manuals all through college and didn't buy an automatic until 2013, when the type of vehicle I needed didn't come in a manual.

I really miss driving stick, especially in snowy Wisconsin winters.

You lose the ability to differentiate between a fart and a poo.

At random times whenever you are traveling in any vehicle, you simultaneously feel a sneeze coming on, and yet have to pee a little bit too. However, you can neither sneeze nor pee until you are out of the vehicle.

Inconvenient on a bus/train or as a passenger, deadly if you're driving. Bicycles are right out, I suppose.

Well, I've learned something today. Who knew how dangerous those flavorings could be?

I don't know why I'm laughing, but I'm laughing harder than I have in a long time. Quality posting.

Ah. Yes. Helps to read things.

I am so confused. It's been in the PS store for a while...

Except, somehow, in the comments section, it comes out right! Will our torture never end?!

Reading that headline while on Android is hilarious.

"On Android I see & instead of &..."

Thank you for the giggle.

Not if you're coming from the other direction.

Get to know a taxi driver. Ask locals where to go and what to see. Stop by a visitors bureau or welcome center. Hit up a local colleges student center.

When I traveled a lot, I used to start with the local phone book. Not only did it have business information, but government info, and a section devoted to local arts and museums. These days I (gasp) talk to people at pubs or bars or coffee shops. Obviously, if they are annoyed, I let them be, but you'd be surprised how many people are happy to brag about their community.

Oregon Trail, on cassette, on a RadioShack TRS-80 in the school library.

Gaming heaven.

Started with the 8" bastards on a dedicated word processor (with a 12" CRT, green phospher glow, and typwriter style printer built right into the top of the unit!) that my dad had for medical filekeeping at his office.

It's been amazing watching storage tech from those to zip drives, and now, floppies of any kind are dying.

Fistula maybe? They are more common in cows, but not unheard of in pigs.

Either way... Well, if you can't bring yourself to eat the meat...

Reminds me of the old Whitney Wisconsin case from a few years ago. She even made a video defending her choice to fuck her dog, and encouraged others to try it.

Damned if I can find that old vid, and honestly I'm not putting in the effort.
