I have a large music library that I don't have much storage left for on my phone. There are of course other ways of solving this problem, but are there any good dedicated music players like iPods still around? ...
If you don't mind a bit of DIY tinkering you can get an older music player and upgrade it with a new battery, new drive, and rockbox. If Bluetooth is a must you could also get a 3.5mm adapter. Here is an example upgrading an iRiver player.
That's because it's trying to replace paid skilled workers who are entitled to benefits and rights. Of course it's bad for the industry. Still not going to stop greedy executives from pushing for it.
I feel like calling being a night owl a "lifestyle" places blame on the person, when it has been shown to be genetic. It feels like vilification of people who live outside of societal norms rather than a call for understanding the difficulties they face and the health impacts from it.
Figures. I bought an LG V60 because it still had features no other manufacturer kept, then less than a year later LG killed their phone business. And here I am, typing this reply on my ROG Phone 9.
The combination of hardware features, software features, and build quality were worth the $1200 for the pro over the $800 red magic or $1000 base rog phone.
He probably still is, in my opinion. I suspect that one of his many Wormtongues whispers into his ear the next step of the plan, he remains cognizant of it long enough to sign an EO and make a Truth Social post about it, then it promptly leaves his befuddled mind to make room for more about how awesome he is. The only reason he keeps harping on a subject is because someone with working faculties is telling him about it repeatedly.

It kind of makes sense, there's a large mass of charged particles being deflected by the Earth's magnetic field, so there must be some kind of corresponding force applied back to the field/the dynamo generating it. Interesting that the leading hypothesis is that it manifests piezoelectrically in rock.
The problem that we frequently run into is people who only want what's best for them at the cost of society, while still wanting full benefits of being a member of said society.
I follow some home inspectors who post videos from their new home inspections, and holy crap the things they find are ridiculous. Like, construction companies should lose their licenses bad.
4th Grade - my friends and I used to fold up pieces of paper into 'guns' that we would play with. They basically looked like a big L. It was right when zero tolerance policies started to get implemented, so of course I got 3 days suspension for my paper. That same year another kid got the same for an action figure gun.
11th Grade - in computer science class all of our exams were written only. I finished my test early, then went to a computer to work on my coding project for that week. The teacher I guess first thought I was cheating on the test, so called me to the front to make an example of me. When she learned I had already turned in my test she changed the charge to using the school computers for non school activities. When I demonstrated that I was working on my project she changed again to say that using the computer was against the agreement we all signed at the start of the year regarding appropriate use of the school computers. I asked to see what part of the agreement I had violated, and she pulled out the sheet to show me. When that didn't back her up she again changed her approach, this time writing me up for Saturday detention for "not bringing my book to class". I went to the Vice Principal to contest the entire issue, but he just told me to go to the detention anyway. I ended up spending an hour cleaning marker off of the walls.
Current estimates report that approximately 75 people were killed during Operation Absolute Resolve, including Cuban special forces who served as bodyguards for Maduro. Two civilian deaths have also been identified, though CSIS satellite imagery analysis shows that the operation focused narrowly on military targets.
Okay, hear me out. Start with frozen mini burritos - heat them up about halfway and cut them in half lengthwise. Then get your frozen pizza of choice and lay the burrito halves on it radially and cover with liberal amounts of shredded cheese. Then bake as per pizza instructions, adding maybe 3 minutes. Cut into slices and serve it forth.
The Russian shadow fleet bypassing oil sanctions and performing sabotage has been an open secret for a long time, it just saddens me that the legal systems at play have been so slow to do anything about it until now.
