Downloading music from YouTube will get you MP3s, but they will have gone through the YT compression algorithms.

Use Deemix instead. Downloads MP3s straight from the Deezer servers with all metadata and album art.

More like short them. This is going to be devastating for their business. I could see them losing tons of customers.

My parents bought me My Neighbor Totoro when I was a kid. I absolutely loved every second of it. Then I came across Ranma 1/2. Next came Kiki’s Delivery Service. It kind of snowballed after that.

Pets are not investments. They are friends and family. Sometimes you’ll do anything possible to save them, even if it’s spending a ton of money.

Everyone else has described the complications that a Mac mini would have. So why not consider something else? Lenovo, HP, and Dell make 1l ultra small form factor PCs and they’re pretty cheap on eBay. They’re also low power. Search for Tiny Mini Micro to find information.

I have three Lenovo Thinkcentre machines - two with 32gb RAM and one with 64gb RAM - running my Proxmox VE cluster. Highly recommend using those small machines instead of a Mac mini.

Hike the entirety of the AT and the PCT.

Go bikepacking more frequently. Or go on a months long trip.

Make art - photography, digital art, linocut.

Help friends and family with projects.

That’s the short version. There are so many possibilities once you remove the need to be tied to a job/computer for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. I would love to have the freedom to simply not work. I don’t want to be rich, I just want to be able to exist without having to work.

^ This. We try to enforce Microsoft Authenticator company wide and we will never be able to completely ditch call/text as an option. We have a ton of users that don’t have smart phones. We have a policy to only allow call/text if a user specifically requests it.

That would stand out a lot. Probably better to just bring a couple hundred dollars and buy bitcoin when it was worth practically nothing.

Going to have to disagree, Teleroboxer and Red Alert were awesome.

Why are those patch cables so long?!

Amelie. It is by far my favorite movie that isn’t animated.

How to train your dragon (1, 2, and 3). These are my favorite American animated films.

My Neighbor Totoro. Favorite Japanese animated film.

We use Slack for those of us on the IT team, but Teams for everyone else. I despise Teams.

There are two reasons why I refuse to play MTG now: Wizards of the Coast is shitty and the experience of playing at my local game store.

This is the first band that came to mind when I saw this thread. Even though I liked their music when it came out, I would feel gross listening to it now.

Apparently it’s just a tool to talk about Linux for me.

If they’re buying the cheapest possible IKEA furniture, sure, it’s less reliable. Buy the mid range solid wood stuff.

Robocraft used to be one of my favorite games and slowly watching it become worse was painful.

Little things, not so much. But when it comes to hobbies, especially ones that get me moving and exercising, I feel perfectly fine spending money on something that will make me feel better.

For example, lately I’ve been considering getting a road bike again even though I already have a gravel bike (that I plan to keep).
