Winamp is shutting down.
Well, I mean, yeah. The most successful artist on the planet is selling albums. What fraction of bands are there than what we had in 1989 are releasing albums and getting radio play?

Winamp is shutting down.
There used to be contracts and record deals, though. A band formed, played the local scene, got discovered. They were paid a shitload for what they had, and a shitload for 3 more albums. If they were smart, they had a good career. Often they were young and dumb and were broke in 18 months. But even ...

Weird dream dreams
I generally ignore this thread, but I don't make fun of it or anything because it's basically a dream journal and I heard those can have value.
But I saw this clip and thought of this thread.

WInamp is back. There's new functionality, but I'm not seeing casting functionality, which I'd like. https://player.winamp.com/trending Also......... I was looking at new swim earbuds, recently.

Saw it.
A worthy inclusion to the franchise.
Begins well before, and ends the morning of Fury Road.

I keep reading about various female athletes/teams just forfeiting when faced with competing against a trans opponent. I don't know if it's just propaganda, though. You know how the internet is.

Bad Economic Predictions
I wonder if the recession that everyone keeps predicting would finally hit if the government stopped spending 30% over what they collect.
And I wonder how long the government can ignore that practice.

Well when you can no longer get away with charging $200 per night, requiring an hour of housework on your way out the door, and still tacking on a $300 cleaning fee, your customers might see new value in the Holiday Inn Express.

And here's the awesome conclusion:
It was all for nothing. The last person finally figured out that even though the letter said "call in 60 days," what it really meant was call in 120 days, so we cancelled the appointment and I can start over in another 2 months.

45 minute hold. They need to verify my identity, so now I suspect someone else filed as me or something. 5 minutes on phone verifying i am me. No appointments available 11 miles away in Toledo, but I can drive 60 minutes to Detroit, or 90 minutes to Lima, OH. Looks like I'm going to Lima. Currently ...

Filed in March. Got notified my return was under review. "If you don't receive an update, call us at *this number* after 60 days." *That number* was just an automated "your file is under review" number. Idiots. Couldn't find a custserv number on irs.gov. Googled another number. C...
