  1. He’s not referencing Nazi generals so much as he’s saying he wants to be like Hitler. He doesn’t know shit about history, doesn’t know who any of Hitler’s generals were. He just assumes they were absolutely obedient and loyal and thinks everyone in the military should treat him the same way. Like a king.
  2. I suppose if convenience matters more to you than audio quality. I’ve never felt the need to carry my entire music collection around with me and never had the time to rip a couple thousand CDs to lossy mp3s. Even if I did, I never would’ve tossed out my CD collection. I’ve got a case that will hold about a couple dozen CDs and that’s more than enough for most of my needs. I can choose a good variety of selections for any trip. For longer trips I can put 40 or 100 discs in a Case Logic binder. I tried ripping an assortment of discs when I first got an iPhone but the listening experience was so frustrating, cupping my hands over the earbuds trying to get listenable sound, that I never listened for long and don’t have any music on my current phone. I listen to CDs on my home and car stereos, PC, and boom box. On my phone I listen to talk radio or podcasts. I’ve got decent speakers on my PC and can listen to streaming stuff that way but it’s not my first choice. The iPod was a solution to a problem I never had. I was amazed, though, by how quickly everyone discarded their CD collections.
  3. Nobody had to replace their CD collection. If you replaced yours with an iPod just because everyone else was doing it then that’s on you.
  4. I’ve tried those. They’re pretty weak. Lay’s s&v are still the most vinegary I’ve found. And Utz chips aren’t as crunchy either in my experience. But I did sort of like their Red Hot chips. They had a decent zing.
  5. I want it to be dirt cheap because there’s no demand for it since we’re all driving electric cars and we get all our energy from clean, renewable sources.
  6. That’s surprising. What kind of voter suppression is that? The Ohio GOP has limited each county to ONLY ONE early voting location and drop box per county. So the 864,000 registered voters of Cuyahoga County (which includes Cleveland) who favor the Democrats, share a single voting location and drop box just like the 8,400 voters in rural Vinton County who tend to vote for Republicans. A judge recently ruled that voters with disabilities can have anyone deliver their absentee ballot to the drop box, not just close family members. So our Trumpy Secretary of State Frank LaRose, who has proposed eliminating drop boxes altogether, imposed a new rule that if you’re dropping off someone else’s ballot, you can’t put it in the drop box. Now you have to go inside election headquarters (which means during business hours, not 24/7 like the drop box) and fill out a form attesting that you’re either a family member of the absentee voter or, if returning the ballot of a disabled voter, that you’re authorized to do so. Fuck the Ohio GOP. Fuck Frank LaRose.
  7. It will expand to 16 before long. It was a lock as soon as they decided to institute a playoff. They kept expanding the basketball playoff, the same thing will happen with the football playoff. It sucks.
