Found some candy on sale at Whole Foods and almost ran out of the stuff. Organic (or organic cane sugar) versions of Gummie Bears, lolly pops, and Skittles. Had a few pops leftover and they were delicious to my surprise.

Can't say they're my #1, not sure what is, but they're up there for sure

No matter what, I doubt the copyright holders for various bibles really enforce it that much.

This calls for a poll bro. Favorite genre of candies.

YouTube Music is offering a free 1 month trial, so I’m giving it a shot.

It's my streamer of choice.

Mine too (the only problem is that for some songs they play the music video instead of the song, which is not good if the video has a super long intro or the song is edited to fit the video, still, small price to pay for having unlimited skips even in free mode and being able to put youtube videos into playlists).

Spotify does both of those (on some devices, not on my phone for some reason), but you have to put up with 4 ads every 2 or 3 songs

Spotify free has unlimited skips and on-demand play (rather than just shuffle) on the desktop app, but not mobile. I usually listen to it from a computer anyway, and for my home computer I wrote a program to mute the audio whenever ads come on (and turn it back on when they finish)

I wonder why the desktop Spotify is so much better than mobile (tho sometimes I wish I could shuffle on desktop, I can't seem to find an option for that)

There is a shuffle button on the desktop Spotify player (the one on the bottom of the screen).

You should be able to shuffle on desktop. It’s the little button to the left of the back skip button

by StevenCressler Sat Nov 02, 2024 9:28 pm

Alr, thanks for letting me know! One of my playlists was added by me going through my favorite artists in order so playing it in order would be the same artist (or even album) over and over again as opposed to the variety of shuffle.

by Pethead Sat Nov 02, 2024 9:30 pm

I very rarely shuffle music. I’m an album guy.

by seth Sat Nov 02, 2024 9:32 pm

I typically only listen to entire albums in order when they’re “story albums” (like Memories of Old - The Zeramin Game). And even then only rarely

I do listen to full albums too. It depends on what I want at the current moment

"Four in the morning, came without a warning….”

Daylight savings ….caught me by surprise….I'm wide awake and there’s only one thing to do….grab my Bible and A cup of Joe and start my devotions early!

In the grocery store I was subjected to the We Didn’t Start the Fire “cover” by Fall Out Boy.

My ears and my soul have been violated.

This simply has to be one of the bowl judgements of Revelation.

Is it a Billy Joel cover?

They changed the lyrics to modern events and made it sound like their “music.”

I do respect when covers sound like the band doing the cover and not the original. That said, this is a situation where they should have made it sound like the original Razz

So many people where I live voted early. I went this morning before work and my wife went this afternoon after I got home, and both of us were in and out in 10 minutes or less.

Dang those scammers are getting more and more elaborate in their scams. I had an "agent" from the "Customs and Border Protection" call me today, informing me that they intercepted some drugs hidden in a package with my name on it. They suspect I am a victim of identity theft and just gotta confirm some details. There were numerous but minor red flags, and when I voiced my doubt she pointed me towards the .gov website and offered to call me from their official phone number. I told her that I would instead call her on that number (since there are ways to make it look like you're calling from whatever phone number you want). She went silent and I hung up. I called the official number and in before they give you options for different departments, the recording explicitly says that if you receive such a phone call, it's a scam.
