I've never been on a commercial airplane so I would too. I was on a small propeller airplane back when I was like 11.

Are you sure that's the only reason? 😅 Kidding 😝

I have a Pioneer deck with auto reverse that can record in both directions like this. I use it mostly for playback though.

OMG I'm so sorry! I know how painful this is. Massive hugs!

Nice try. We don't even have Comcast in this area. 🙄

Also, next time try completing your sentences.

Prompt on my cell phone saying:

Missed call from +1 970-414-9989

"Hi, Comcast Xfinity here.... We processed the cancellation of your 50% discount on monthly bill after no response.... This wasn't intended.
You must call back on the number showing on your caller ID immediately.... Otherwise, your bill will return to"

I agree. It would be fascinating if different life chemistry can exist too.

It's definitely possible. I guess it depends on the composition of the nebula in which we formed. I'm not sure how the differences come about. Perhaps different supernova types?

I have a tape that plays with what sounds like ring modulation. I think the lubricant has failed so the tape is sticking and slipping at high speed.

Incredible to think about

Amazing: Comet ATLAS formed some 8 billion years ago. It made about 3 dozen circuits around our galaxy. It entered our our solar system & just passed 30 million kilometers from Mars...

...where ESA's ExoMars orbiter captured these images of the interstellar comet! 🧪🔭

A few photo's of @graffias79.bsky.social's beautiful Amiga One 500 machine at the WCC's Green Bay show on 10.4.25. This is a piece of kit I'd always wanted back when it was "new" so it was a treat to take it for a spin at the show!

See that small, moving splotch?

That's 3I/ATLAS, a comet that formed in a different star system, photographed from Mars orbit by the ESA Exomars Trace Gas Orbiter.

If you want to see all the pictures and read all the stories from the show (or add you own if you were there!) swing by the WCC forums!

Hey, did you see the ⚡Eep⚡ sticker sighting at 11:20?

There it is. I wondered why someone posted "Fuck CBS" earlier.

One fun thing I like to do with YouTube is to go back and re-watch videos. I work from home and it's a nice companionship when working on stressful jobs. The kind of videos I watch (computer and electronics repair) is perfect for this.
