Had a smoke detector going off randomly one night and I pulled it down only to have mama crawl all over my hand as the babies were running around like maniacs, some casting off. Mama still had a bunch on her when I got the smoke detector outside.

The mechanical dials bit makes me jealous. I have a fancy new one that has a drawer mechanism and is built in under the counter.
It has settings to disable the chime, the 30 second “omg your food is still in the microwave” reminder, and even all sounds.
But doing anything that isn’t just pushing a couple numbers and start is hopeless. Defrost or “melt”? Enter the food code (???) then the weight (just guess randomly at the units and start over if you’re wrong). I just run at 30% power to defrost the occasional thing now.

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.

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

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.
