On the phone it just works. I've loads of playlists going back years. The playlist creation features make it super easy, suggesting related songs to what you've got already. I've tonnes of vinyl and CDs and a media server, but for convenience, commonality and variety I have no regrets
Going against the trend here, but i wouldn't be without spotify. We use the family sub, so I've got separate accounts for the family and for our smart speakers. My parents also use my account. We listen to a lot of music and podcasts, and it just works.
Beyond that the only other sub i have is Amazon prime, which we're kind of stuck with as all our photos are in the cloud using their service. It works pretty well and the fire TV does a slideshow so we actually look at them from time to time.
The rest of the streaming subs we've had in the past are long gone. IPTV does the lot, which I use through express VPN.
Just wait until they get banned from reddit, get them to sign up and show them the Boost client (that used to work on reddit) and away they'll go. That's how i did it :-)
The NME (popular British music paper) had a website with a chat room/board that I was active on in the late 90s. I was about 17.
They also gave you free webmail with a @nme.com address, so you felt like a music journalist. Unfortunately, they shut it all down out of the blue in the 00s, with little warning, so I lost my primary email address. Would love to recover all those messages, but they are gone forever.
Of course. But the comments on that particular page are mostly locals, and it's relatively well moderated.
Sounds like that plot line in the TV show Silicon Valley
Yep. It's somewhat ingrained in UK culture, at least for people of my gen. I'm 48 this weekend, and plan on staying in with my fam and maybe having a few beers. But that's only because I'm off for a city break with friends next week to see The Beta Band and basically eat and drink for 2 days. Can't wait.
Yep, same in the UK. We've abandoned our elderly and seemingly can't wait for our kids to leave so that we enjoy maybe 10 years of watching TV and not working before we die.
In other, less 'developed' countries the family is a unit. The elderly help with the infants (which has been proven to be mutually beneficial), while the rest of the family works or helps maintain the household. There's way less likelyhood of abandonment or lonliness in old age, which in my country is endemic.
Wow. I was just going to snoop around people's houses...

Apparently, I’m allergic to a specific type of antibiotic. I was given amoxicillin at the dentist and then went back to work as usual. About an hour later, I started shivering uncontrollably and had to go home. I ended up curled in the fetal position in bed for several hours, trembling and freezing.
My wife was understandably alarmed and mentioned it to my mother, who casually explained, “Oh yes, he’s allergic to amoxicillin—we found that out when he was a kid.”
Somehow, no one ever thought to tell me that little detail. Definitely something that would’ve been good to know before I took it.
