I don’t think I’ve ever been quite that high

That all sounds like it’s still terrible idea to use optical media for backups

The creators get paid when they do the work, not from sales.

Also, a much more important note: if I couldn’t prior it, I wasn’t going to pay for it anyway.

And why on earth would I pay for media when I can get it for free?

My Plex server is packed with downloads and rips.

I also don’t care to look

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I quit optical media around 03. Haven’t even owned anything with an optical drive for nearly a decade.

We talked to each other, read books, went on walks…

Also, tv. Lots of tv.

I don’t want physical media because it’s a liability. It can get lost or destroyed very very easily, especially optical media.

Digital copies are portable, I can data hoard them, and, worst case, I can just re-download it.

RIP funny man. you'll always be Col. Mustard to me 💔

i guess, but they're not great for backup. Eps. R/RW optical media doesn't last that long (5-10 years) and is easily damaged. You'd be better off with tape for long-term storage. or an M-Disk or some similar magnetic backup solution.

and now you're trapped in a House subcommittee where Taylor-Greene screams, "WOKE!" and then you get shelved, never to see the light of day again.

i didn't want to vote for Biden in 2020, either, so i voted Green.

i was in NY at the time, so my vote didn't matter, but now that i'm a in red/swing state, I'm def voting Biden just to cut across that Trump edge.

yeah, you can get them at costume shops.

or online, obvs

the term "physical media" typically refers to portable physical media, such as floppy disks, optical media, and other solutions such as tape.

This term was in wide use before portable hard drives became a thing.

i can't even remember the last time i saw an optical disc. it must be several years.

I’d be happy if they could just come off cleanly

Trump is the only guy who would bury his ex-wife on his own golf course just so that he could continue to cheat on her.

Trump lied an awful lot tonight. Sorry that you fell for it.

Hello, spiky baby!

They missed their filing deadline. That’s all.

In her dispatch on the event, Jane notes that Trump didn't even bother to show up and instead spoke to attendees via telephone about his planned tax cuts for businesses.

Lmao, asshole literally phoned it in
