Husband-and-wife truck drivers adopt orange cat from truck stop and turn him into a road cat. It's a very cute and playful cat.

After 71 years, Columbia House is shutting down for good. The mail-order music giant, which once had 16 million members, survived the transition from vinyl to tapes, CDs and even DVDs — but ultimately couldn’t survive the rise of streaming. pic.twitter.com/BZlp0b1aoq

23 Polishing the UI for the Movie Vault manger module.

If I do say so myself, it's pretty freaking awesome.

The best feature is the naming tokenizer.

Sometimes when you acquire media, it has all kinds of extra fluff added to it, what this does is analyze the string, tokenizes each word into a drag and drop object that you can then arrange how you want.

This is especially useful for TV shows with multiple seasons and multiple episodes.

43 I saw a video the other day of a famous wildlife photographer (Carlos Carvalho), and it answered a question of mine that has puzzled me for ages.

How does a giraffe defend itself?

Sure, it's tall, but I couldn't figure out why lions or some other predator doesn't just take it down. I, always, assumed the giraffe has a wicked kick, but they seem so slow. But, this video cleared things up at the expense of Mr. Carvalho, unfortunately. This giraffe just wound up and hammered the photographer with its neck. It was fast, and as the late Mr. Carvalho would attest (if he could), it was instantaneous death.

47 People diss 8-tracks, but they were basically the first and for a time the only way that anyone could have their own tunes in their car. Cassettes were a dictation media, they were not used for music or hi-fi until a few years later.

Those with long memories will actually remember 4-tracks, which look almost identical to 8-tracks but are a bit different. Invented by Lear, the same guy who made jets.

There's a little bit of misconception on that, actually. Ford offered all the different colors before this policy, but they cost more, and importantly they took a lot longer to dry.

Ford went to black enamel or whatever it was, because it dried faster than anything else available which allowed higher production numbers. That was just one more cost efficiency that allowed him to sell a new car for 800 dollars or whatever it was.

Or you find out rape is frowned upon when your dumb ass retard cousin-grandpa goes to jail for it only after every man in the village has a chance to beat his grubby fucking rag dress off him.

90 My high school had a legit radio station, KYDZ. The signal barely made it to the other side of our little town, but it was cool. Buddy was a DJ there (it was an actual credited class). He and I recorded some stupid things on cart to air later. We were not exactly Bob and Tom, but it was fun hearing my voice on the radio.

In the UK both people have to say YES for sex.
If you have sex with someone that does not want to,
it is called rape.

Nonsense. "Rape" is a silly human construct, a legal fiction, and probably a tool of White Supremacy. No such thing as "consent" in the animal world. What makes humans so special? Check your premises.

107 Part 15 transmitters are legal to broadcast at home. Kits, pre-wired stuff, etc. Find an unused frequency and you can broadcast tunes from say, your iPod or whatever, to your antique or collectible AM radio.

Kinda fun, actually. Especially since there isn't anything worth listening to on the actual AM bands. I always planned on broadcasting War of the Worlds or old school horror episodes on Halloween but never got around to it.

The AM band is purposefully frequency limited (to get more stations available on the band, I suppose) by using your own transmitter and input source you can hear that it is basically FM quality, just in Mono. I did have a big wooden Zenith console with a green tuning eye that would blast out modern tunes in the garage, a lot of people wondered about that.

118 Mass production and the first run. Rush talked about that. The new product always costs more. After the product is accepted and produced in greater volume the price goes down.

Ford Model T 1909, $850
Ford Model T 1916, $360

During the war they were more expensive, ~$550
By 1922 they were back down to $348.

Also, if someone decides halfway through that they're not into it, it is called rape. Also, if someone regrets it in the morning, it is called rape. Also, if she was drunk, it is called rape - please note... him being drunk is irrelevant. Also, if her boyfriend discovers that she cheated and she says that she didn't, it is called rape.
