I don’t have a specific recommendation, but I believe the key words to search for these days are “Digital Audio Player”.

I’ve been following the open hardware Tangara for a while, but they’re between production runs right now so you can’t buy from them (you might be able to build your own though, the design is all there)

As a heads up, like so many other technologies the middle has fallen out of the market thanks to the proliferation of smart phones. You’ll be paying a lot for anything decent from what I’ve seen

Have you moved since you were a kid? I was surprised to learn not long ago that the type of tree used for Christmas trees is regional.

Near me it’s radiata pine. If I remember correctly, Douglas Fir is the most common in the US but there are many others available. Wikipedia has a long list of common tree types

It was a deer

(Because a moose is a deer)

I literally cannot understand how Outlook is so awful and unpleasant to use. Constant pauses, regular freezes and a search that will show a document I sent to myself five years ago regardless of search terms but won’t surface the perfect match I received yesterday, in the world’s most prominent email client.

The only worse software I have to interact with on a daily basis is Adobe’s PDF reader, which gives me five popups within one minute of opening it and takes over a minute to do a text search in a five page document.

Automatic butt ejector.

IMO Ncuti did a great job with what he was given, but the writing was pretty hit and miss

It frustrates me that there were complex societies with written records that we know nothing about. All the information we could want is right there, but we have no idea how to translate it. Always just out of reach

Respect

Is that how they invented chainmail?

There are an absolutely unreasonable number of car dealerships near me that are the main cause of light pollution in the area. I once found a fantastic online pamphlet aimed at businesses directing how they can reduce pollution without reducing the (illusion of) security. It had all sorts of useful, illustrated info on flood light angles and the like. Unfortunately I’ve lost track of it, but if I ever find it again I’m going the rounds

I would assume someone talking about mac and cheese was referring to the dish rather than the kraft snack food

How is mac and cheese not pasta with mornay sauce?

The noble tradition of a sausage sizzle is far older^{[citation needed]} and more noble than any “Bunnings”

Mate, if you use frankfurters at your sausage sizzle I’m going to have some complaints

Controller layout was mastered with the GameCube and I will harbour no dissent
