Occupy and commit war crimes in the name of "nation building." Do this until political winds change at home and force us to pull out.

What was the question, again?

Never let a good crisis go to waste. The Dems should seek concessions in exchange for propping up the McCarthy speakership. Unfortunately, if you can count on one thing it's that the Dems will find a way to fuck it up.

Just start your car. It's cheaper

A bit of both. It dries out your skin to shower every day, and I honestly don't feel like I need to shower every day with not-particularly-active lifestyle. Saves water and electric, as well, but not enough for that to be the reason why.

Every other day, but sometimes more often depending on what I've been up to

Off the top of my head and in no particular order:

  • Highway 61 Revisited (Bob Dylan)
  • Blood on the Tracks: New York Session (Bob Dylan
  • Willie and the Poor Boys (CCR)
  • Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum (Tally Hall)
  • 1990 (Daniel Johnston)
  • Z (My Morning Jacket)
  • I Had A Dream That You Were Mine (Hamilton Leithauser & Rostam)
  • London Calling (The Clash)
  • Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (The Beatles)
  • Roast Beef (Biff Rose)

If I thought about it longer, I'd probably end up with a more varied list as far as genre.

I've heard this before, but more in the context of a proverb than a proper joke. As far as meaning, I think it's along the lines of "correlation doesn't equal causation," but not exactly.

Double post, but focusing more on the real computer. Do you have access to a library? Sometimes they have computers people can use. You might be able to load a program to rip onto a USB stick and run it portably (that is, without installing it onto the computer.) Not ideal, but if it's Windows I think Windows Media Player can rip CDs natively.

In that case, bring in the CDs and the MP3 player, rip the CDs, then load them all at the library. There might even be CDs at the library you can check out as well.

Find the cheapest MP3 player possible, maybe one of those built like a USB stick that can plug into a computer.

Here's one. There might be better options out there. The idea here is no wifi, no Bluetooth, etc. You could presumably load MP3s onto it just like you could a flash drive. Unlike the flash drive, it can play it back.

As far as ripping CDs, I use EAC. It supports ripping compressed to MP3, among other things. The linked player can play FLAC as well. I imagine most can, but the larger files size of FLAC might become an issue. Other programs exist, of course. It can be done!
