Records often do sound better. This is a case of garbage in garbage out though - records cannot handle some of the tricks done in mastering to make CDs/digital sound okay on a car radio (that is against road noise), from a phone (tiny speakers) and all the other awful listening environments most people listen to music (a cynic would call this background noise with lyrics not music). So if you want to make a record you have to master it without those tricks and this makes for better music. People who listen to records also generally are listening in a better listening environment. If you can get a CD mastered for a great listening environment and listen to in a great listening environment it would be better than a record could ever be - but you can't get a CD mastered like that and even if you could most people are not listening in a great environment and so the CD will sound worse than one mastered as they are.

At least you can get out.

inflation is a thing and so all unlimited time fixed price contracts are suspect.

kbin/mbin is another alternative. I have no idea how the moderation tools are, but it is open source.

That is what I meant - engage to facebook means you like it and want to see more.

I'm able to keep facebook okay, but only by constant blocking all from. I wish I could turn off all shared content. The good stuff on facebook is people I personally know but see rarely - but that only takes a few minutes to catch up on and they need me to doomscroll for hours to make money.

ai has been doing that trick since the 1950s. There have been a lot of use coming out of ai, but it has never been called ai once successful and never lived up to the early hype. some in the know about all those previous ones were surprised by the hype and not surprised about where it has gone, while others pushed the hype.

The details have changed but nothing else.

Except that as an attacker you can choose where to attack and prepare to be there faster than the defenders can get people there. so you can attack with 30 where they only have 5 defenders and be gone before reenforcements arrive since they don't know where you will attack until you start.

military expert tell me the 3:1 ratio comes with a lot of asterisks and ukrain knows those as well.

if they can attack they should at it forces russia to defend their whole line. If they don't attack russia can leave the line undefended and thus concentrate forces for their attacks.

that is a big if though as ukrain needs to defend their lines.

A little but the aerodynamits of shot will always be bad. A riifle will beat shot for range and accuracy. However for something moving that is close the in accuracy of shot improves your stastical odds of a hit.

If you are seriously ill then you can eat whatever you want. It doesn't matter what you eat when you will be dead in a few months anyway.

What is millions? 7.8 million meals / $4 million would be less than $1/meal which would be a great deal despite qualifying as millions. However if instead we are talking about $800 million those are very expensive meals.
