Beeper is partially open source and I've used it for many years now.

Thank you for the thoughtful post with pictures!

Trying to find a piece of my past

Recently a friend and I were talking about the pop punk band LWL, and he asked if I had their discography or even just their album "Quarter Life Crisis". I had several of their tracks on an old hard drive but not nearly as much as I thought, so we went looking online for their music but found.... nothing. Okay, maybe not...

I found Rubberband. There's a copy of Quarter Life Crisis on Ebay for $99! LOL.

EDIT: found Song for Dad

EDIT2: found Twenty Minutes

Send me a link to the soundcloud collection and let me see what I can do, please.

I now have that entire collection in .opus format. Do you have a way to play this music format? If you don't, then I can convert the files to MP3.

VLC should be able to play these files. I'll upload the entire playlist as a .zip and then post the link here. If VLC doesn't support it, then let me know and I'll help.

Please, let me know if you are unable to play these files. I can easily convert them.

May I have a 'rain check"?

I have sent an access request

To where?

I'm only a 2 hour drive from where you live. I imagine, eventually, we'll meet up sometime.

Microsoft Windows is heavily marketed and, for most of the general public that aren't aware of Linux, is a cheaper option compared to Apple/Mac/iOS.

I worked with/on Windows for two decades. Through those years I became more and more frustrated with the bugs and vulnerability to outside attacks. Windows is going to be attacked more, and for other reasons, because it is used by more people (a greater attack surface to exploit).

Back in 2008 I switched to Apple/Mac/iOS. I have never regretted it.

IF you have the time/knowledge (which most of the general public doesn't have) to use Linux, then I'd recommend it.

Please, stop with this 'fan-boy' shit about operating systems. Use logic and rational thinking which I believe that I've shown above.

I understand and completely agree from someone who is knowledgeable about this subject matter. However, MOST people are NOT. To clarify again, (and this is something that is getting very annoying to repeat over and over again) the general public have almost NO knowledge about the differences between operating systems.

What's growing on, Beehaw?

Two weeks ago I collected seed from a musk mallow (Malva alcea) I noticed growing in a crack in the pavement, soaked them overnight, and scattered them in a pot. There are dozens sending out true leaves already and it's very exciting - there are these tiny emerald sweat bees (Agapostemon) that really seem to adore the flowers of...

I've been involved with the academic study of the biblical texts for a long time. I am the founder of 'Ask Bible Scholars'.

These texts are rife with bias, politics, metaphor etc. Furthermore, how these texts were understood and/or interpreted is heavily explored in what academia has named 'reception history'.

Personally, I am a 'theist' in the sense that I believe that there is something 'higher' or there is something going on that is outside of our earthly reality. To put it another way, I believe that consciousness continues past human existence.

One plant that we have no shortage of here in Maine is milkweed. So, we always have many monarchs in our yard.

Correct. I grew up listening to all of that!

I am a critic of religion. However, I believe that Saul (i.e. Paul) said it best.

And now faith, hope, and love remain, these three, and the greatest of these is love. - 1 Corinthians 13:13

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres. - 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

This love has carried me through five decades of life without fault.

Gorgeous.

Biden, 81, pulls out of presidential race, will serve out term ( www.reuters.com )

"It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President. And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term," Biden wrote....

The Dems must know that they can beat Trump with another nominee. Otherwise, they would not have been pressuring him to step down over the last several weeks.

Doesn’t matter.

It matters that Trump does NOT get elected.

Still need more pressure to keep project 2025 from never seeing the light of day.

Yes, of course.
