Whimsical article

Woah, thank you for this. I've wanted to learn more about torrenting and how music files work anyway so actually sitting down and needing to study for this is a big plus.

I don't wanna use Spotify anymore and would like to build my own offline collection of music. The issue is, I have hundreds of albums saved on Spotify that I love listening to. Downloading each individual song would be a royal pain in the ass to do. A lot of the stuff on the megathread doesn't seem to work anymore for music specifically. I also would like to have high quality audio files. Any ideas how to go about doing this? I have no idea how torrenting works.

I'm currently eyeing either an iPod classic 5th gen or a Surfans F20, but definitely want input and suggestions on getting a decent portable music player.

Basically, I'm trying to find something that has good audio quality, is not touch screen, reasonably durable, repairable, upgradable, etc. Big storage capacity is a plus. I don't wanna stream from it or have Bluetooth, mainly just wanna play audio files I load onto there and listen with my ear monitors. Totally fine altering hardware and software in order to get it to the point that meets what I'm looking for.

Any recommendations for this? Many thanks.

What's more solarpunk than using old hardware destined for the dump to host a cool website?

Every time after I shave, I get more acne in those areas. I use a safety razor and an oat based cream. I always wash my face beforehand. Is there a way I can reduce the amount of acne I get after shaving?

This conveys an emotion that does not have a word in English

What's the point of making over generalizing statements like this?

I'm telling y'all this worked wonders for me. The other day I was feeling like shit and was convinced everything's fucked and I'm fucked and was going down a doom spiral and then I just went on a walk and sat in silence by a creek in the woods for a while and listened to/ observed my thoughts and then I got up and was like "huh. I'm okay now."

Assuming this email is legit, the best thing that you can do is change as many of your passwords as possible to be unique and complex. You may also want to consider deleting old email addresses and getting new ones. Alternatively you can separate your emails addresses by having one for signing up for spammy services, one for personal stuff, one for work/school, etc. Try not to have much overlap between them all.

Edit: I also highly recommended using a temporary email for signing up for stuff whenever possible. I always use this one , but there are plenty of others too.

One makes them money and the other doesn't, unfortunately.

They have a good point. I did research into cornbread for a project and it's suffered from the same issue as tortillas. Most cornmeal that you buy in the store nowadays tastes like sawdust and has to be enriched with a bunch of stuff to make it preserve longer. Originally southern-style cornbread had zero added sugar in it, but most recipes nowadays call for a tablespoon of sugar to balance out the flavor of the sawdust cornmeal so it ends up just tasting like nothing. You don't do that if you use good, heirloom corn, and it actually has flavor.

It ultimately comes down to the quality of the corn and the method that they use to process it and to maximize profits. Stone ground cornmeal yields a better product, but is less efficient.

My apologies. I will update it to have an accessible version.

Edit: accessible transcription has been added

Mine is the best of both worlds. Impossible to go to sleep, impossible to arise from my slumber.
