Mass produced to be as cheap as possible, vs carefully built and engineered to last as long as possible.

Is there a sub that is less focused on interesting data, and more focused on data presented beautifully?

I once sent a friend this clip to explain who I was going to see that night- Austin Lucas. He’s one of the artists I tell people about when they think that all country music is the same. Great singer, great storyteller. I had to explain to my friend that Emily Barker wouldn’t be there, as awesome as that would be, but I was still super psyched to finally see Austin in person.

He transformed that small back room in a dingy London pub into a raw hug of emotional energy. He was off the stage, circled by a small crew just vibing and loving what he was sharing, watching the tears in his eyes.

And then he said his friend was in town, and he’d like to welcome Emily Barker to come and sing.

• USB PD can negotiate pushing up to 240W now at 48V, which is a fair bit.

So if I wanted to wire my home to take advantage of this, supposing I had a house battery on solar, would I have some kind of DC-DC converter from battery to 48V, then cable to outlets with some kind of USB PD adaptor? How much advantage do I get from this, vs using existing 240V outlets + wall wart?

The Adventure Zone is good for the same reason as Dimension 20. A lot of DnD ‘actual play’ podcasts are people who play a great game of DnD, but don’t make a great podcast.

TAZ is a bunch of comedy podcasters who decided to play DnD for a goof, and it works. The first arc has a rough first couple episodes, but it turns into one of my most beloved pieces of media across any format.

I stopped using my MacBook Air after 9 years. I did a battery swap at some point, and I think I replaced the charger after the cable frayed. Best windows machine I ever ran.
