> There’s a huge range of quality and reliability between $2k and $30k.
True. I hear so many stories about car problems and having to fight with the dealer that all the stories run together. Last week I helped a client download the court docs from 2yrs of suing the MB dealership (so Gemini could parse them).
Our last purchase was a 31k mi 1992 Buick w/ an Iron Duke for $1300. I loaded it w/ son #2s bedroom and drove it 1k mi to his new place. I spent a week visiting family in different states.
Caveat that I did spent $80 + 20min to swap the alt (sticky brushes).
The Buick replaced the 96 Toyota (bought @ 42k for $500 +$1k bc it sat for 10y). The Toyota runs great and never let me down (6yrs) but I wanted more leg room.
In case I'm not completely unbearable, son #2's daily driver is a 63 Dart he pulled out of the weeds. He welded in tags to get a floor and just recovered the seats and door panels using a stack of my old blue jeans.
>To save free speech we must stop funding people who theorize in bad faith
To believe this in a meaningful, rational way would require one to constantly call out administrations and propagandists, after months and years of debunking evidences the methods to serially operate in bad faith.
In the absence of any calling out: We can reasonably surmise they are either captured by political cultists and not processing rationally - or that they are simply operating in bad faith.
Granting, however, that some percent of folks simply get off on bad actors and the harm they do to those who never earned that. For them, cruelty brings it's own buzz and that is enough.
I know, I don't disagree with your ideas on good faith journalism, I just have so little time right now. I am more or less waiting out what happens with the MN fraud investigations. I think it has blown up to such a huge amount that Walz is not running now. All I can say is that a 23 year old kid was able to make that video and a few weeks ago everyone blew a nut because Bari Weiss dropped a 60 minutes investigation on CECOT (A Boring Ass Dead Story).
60 Minutes in 1990 would have DREAMED of breaking the MN scandal story. I remember them breaking a story like Gasoline pump fraud in the 90s and it didn't do any research other than recording gallons pumped into Gallon Water jugs - but they still posed it as fraud.
Videos play in a center frame and the site offers no method to fullscreen (but pressing F gives YT Fullscreen, as noted below).
There are a 8 huge playlists (27k videos total), separated by decade. There are no veejays, original ads or other period content. We can choose a decade (or rap or headbangers ball) or mix all.
Videos are all YT hosted, pulled from 1000s of YT channels. There are no YT ads (interesting and welcome). I assume there's no curation in the play order but am not certain.
There's nothing to indicate which song or artist is playing, either by the site or by YT. To ID a song, I had to get the vid url and paste it in another tab.
Video frame has a large BUY ME A COFFEE overlay that appears whenever you mouse over it. Pieces of the overlay obscure some YT controls (like fullscreen) but there's still access to YT's right-click options. The YT key-shortcuts still work (F=fullscreen).
There's no overlay in fullscreen and videos continue to progress.
The overlay has it's own volume control and Next/Last buttons so it's not only for tip begging. The controls are welcome. They'd be more useful on the sidebar but perhaps this makes the overlay useful (and dissuades attempts to block the it).
I didn't spend any time trying to source the videos so IDK if the author put a TON of time into amassing urls or if they found some repository to work from. Same for handling of offline vids and new additions - I've no idea.
