Question on this, how would you expect the millions of people that heat/cool their homes to get by? Or are you advocating for a return to caves ? Unless you’re saying shut those down to build nuclear/solar/wind, which also takes a lot of dirty manufacturing to build. It’s kind of a no-win with this many humans.

There’s unfortunately no possible way for the government to solve this issue. They can’t go door to door and take people guns. And people won’t willingly give them up because then they are vulnerable to attack. It’s sadly unsolvable. Higher regulations for new purchases would help but thathat doesn’t stop all the existing weapons.

It’s so crazy. Literally anyone can go to a store and buy one. I no joke saw a store the other day called “Dave’s guns” and the logo was the American flag on a cross. Reminds me of a certain quote regarding facism.

It’s scary knowing everyone else has guns, however the good news is, everyone on the correct side of history can also buy them…

That’s awesome ! My dad had a Renault back in the 70s air cooled…which is super weird for living in middle of nowhere. He overheated it eventually haha

Well I’ll say cassette quality can never really be good becaise of the slow speed and narrow width. . But 1/4" tape is about the best analog quality you can get (feasibly cost wise) if you go 15 IPS and half track (1 way play, no flipping).

If you want good sound for cassettes you can’t beat a Nakamichi deck, best there are.

Oh sorry, I meant more reel tape not really casettes, but I love the otari mx5050, and the teac 2340sx. Good machines and 1/4" tape is still affordable. PM me if you’d like more tape info, I love to share.

I was very lucky in that I can repair most cars. It’s a lot harder now. Before I had a real job, all my vehicles cost less than 3k. If you learn what to look for and to stay safe (brakes, tires) you shouldn’t really be in danger with a used car. Now in an accident, some ass in a 30 foot tall dodge truck will kill you, but that’s kind of unavoidable even if you’re on the sidewalk

Im obsessed with tape storage, but for audio. Nothing more real than audio on tape! Luckily it’s catching on again. Music is so disposable now, I hope we can keep physical formats alive and keep corporations away from it (digital offers them unlimited control over us).

Stop buying new cars until they remove this bullshit. We can go 40 years with existing cars without buying a single new one.
