for old electronic music - Youtube, honestly. the algorithm is pretty good for finding old electronic music. like if youtube recommends me some random old 7 minute song with nothing but a picture of a record, there's a good chance I'm gonna like it at this point.

I'm on some of the oink/what successors and honestly, it's so hard to build ratio that it makes me not really like them at all.

I find it quite baffling you'd want to drop In halfway through a 3 hour movie, you'd miss out on so much!

if it's good I'll rewatch it, if it's something I've already seen then I'm not missing anything at all. There's so many movies I've turned off when the beginning is boring, it's a decent way to watch new movies and it's how movies on TV used to work.

I'm trying to watch Robert Altman's filmography slowly, and there's so many slow 3 hour movies that watching them in small pieces until they click and actually make me interested in the entire thing helps. if it's all action or something maybe it seems pointless, but some films are a very slow burn, and this helps.

also it's not just movies, but TV too. I would use the shuffle button on comedy shows I've seen a million times before, now tv style drop in works just as well as that when I just want a laugh but don't really care what episode of something I'm watching. now I don't even have to pick a series, I can just pick a channel labelled comedy.

did you grow up with cable tv? maybe it's generational or regional thing

I've setup something like this recently and I think it's great - I really like the idea of just dropping into the middle of a movie because honestly who has the time to watch a 3 hour movie? that's one thing I really miss about TV

kinda tempted to get a CRT just for it to make it even better

thanks, this is just the article I needed right now. I bought a fisheye lens (multiple, actually) recently and have been wanting to get a drone that can carry a DSLR, but this seems like a much cheaper and interesting idea.

but they aren't a reason not to send HTML email

I've seen a lot of email providers flag random emails for having weird HTML. why take the chance of non-delivery at all? send plain text.

you can kind of get an idea by looking up who owns it on your state's secretary of state website, if a personal name or an LLC with a local address is the owner it's probably local, but if it's an out of state address then you can probably google it and find out who's address that is associated with

However I do not understand why you chose to make 1.5 million enemies in the WordPress community in one weekend by shutting down their ability to update plugins with zero warning and consequently reducing the security of their websites.

yup. I'm about to make a new site and I dont care about the platform, I just want to write. but I'm not gonna use wordpress ever again now, probably. Matt seems friendly but this is evil CEO garbage

my issue is the amount of old listings. is it worth replying to listings that are half a year old? it seems more likely the items are sold and just haven't been taken down. reasonably priced cars, music equipment, bikes, items that should be gone within a week - somehow are listed for half a year. what the heck?
