- Comment on DVDs are the new vinyl records: Why Gen Z is embracing physical media 2 days ago:
I lived through the 70s and 80s. Didn’t know what 480p even was til the 90s, so I have direct experience with CRT usage. Bonus: we didn’t even have a color TV til the mid 80s at my house

- Comment on Amazon BUSTED for Widespread Scheme to Inflate Prices Across the Economy— Amazon, its vendors, and competing retailers are price fixing, hiking up prices for consumer products 2 days ago:
I know but amazon has a policy for non prime users that items over $35 qualify for free shipping. After dropping that deal I looked at some on a couple big box homimprov stores and they have some that are double the amazon item price but ship free so a net savings of around $100 on the deal

Kinda suspected they were doing that. Looked at some drywall panel lifts this morning and saw one for $75. Shipping however was $247. Dropped that like a hot rivet

- Comment on "Being vegan is unnatural" 4 days ago:
Anything outside of omnivorousness is inhuman. We are made to consume multiple types of flora and fauna in our quests for survival. Focusing on a single facet of that is to deny your humanity

- Comment on In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud 1 week ago:
Had one for the last 20 years, but all good things must come to an end and so it was with mine. Got burned out due to all the power fluctuations the ice storms brought us. Surge protectors can only cope with so much I guess
