For sure. You weren’t gonna hear the difference on your $2 headphones or the speakers connected to your monitor anyway.
Plus, file size was king. My first mp3 player (drink dmp 90) had 16MB of internal memory and used those original SD cards for more (up to 32MB, but who could afford that?).
So 128kbps offered a really great compromise because it was still better than FM.

Another way to mitigate the force of inductive skepticism is to restrict its scope. Karl Popper, for instance, regarded the problem of induction as insurmountable, but he argued that science is not in fact based on inductive inferences at all (Popper 1935 [1959]). Rather he presented a deductivist view of science, according to which it proceeds by making bold conjectures, and then attempting to falsify those conjectures. In the simplest version of this account, when a hypothesis makes a prediction which is found to be false in an experiment, the hypothesis is rejected as falsified. The logic of this procedure is fully deductive. The hypothesis entails the prediction, and the falsity of the prediction refutes the hypothesis by modus tollens. Thus, Popper claimed that science was not based on the extrapolative inferences considered by Hume. The consequence then is that it is not so important, at least for science, if those inferences would lack a rational foundation.

I just knew my philosophy degree would come in handy one day.

I’d love to know if there’s an easy way to set this up for mobile. Lemmy is one of the things still on my list.

Hah, I’ve been looking at gruvbox in a terminal and theming everything else with it for 7 or 8 years.

Randomly coming across gruvbox is one of my favorite things.

I had the Flintstones soundtrack on cassette and played the crap out of it on my walkman (and let’s be real, my boombox too).

Gotta drink more so you can drink more. Then you’ll find your groove and see that a few beers is just the spice driving needed!

Auto lid, auto flush checking in.
Yes, I’m spoiled.

I started with a $30 cheapo 10 years ago and it was life changing. Last year I got a stupid expensive one. Like, has a night light, auto flush (because I got the matching toilet), auto lid, heated seat, heated water, deodorizer, wireless remote, etc. (Toto S7A)
Just so you’re prepared, the air dry doesn’t fully replace the pat dry entirely unless you’re gonna sit there for a good long time.
That said, I have no regrets.

Time to rethink the reapportionment act of (checks notes) 1929.
Sidenote: I didn’t really need to check my notes, but it added a dramatic flair for the 96 year old establishment of the number of representatives.

Just about nailed it! Missed the ground beef, and it is wild rice, a Minnesota staple.
If you’ve never tried it, I highly recommend.

I also feel seen in a really weird way. That Corelle, the gray hot dish, the lump of salad. Except the french cut beans. Mom never sprang for that. Dad did sometimes though.

Just finished watching the 24hrs of Daytona where they use that infield track layout this week. It’s free on YouTube from IMSA!
3 classes of cars fighting for places through traffic for 24hrs. It’s absolutely wild, and the commentators are definitely fighting fatigue with sometimes extremely random sidetracks too.
