   The Pacific Ocean is neither privately owned nor land. If people do not have access to some part of the commonwealth, it is no longer part of the commonwealth. Different polities have different ways of dealing with this problem. California

   Comments are toxic anyway. Disable them and post a link to a subreddit or other place that is willing to deal with them. Or just disable them.

   Yes. It's "Roderick on the Line" that makes me think of him as a raconteur. Don't forget about "Friendly Fire", the war movie podcast. His love of history comes through in that almost as much as in "Omnibu

    I remember reading that book in 1996 and finding it incredibly elitist. His alternatives to the internet were visiting libraries, book stores, art film theaters, going to concerts, strolling through parks... But, he was living in Berkeley!

    "Type-A people are descending on the ancient practice of meditation and tweaking the quest for inner peace to suit their hard-charging needs—racking up streaks and broadcasting their running tallies to the world. The result, for some:

    I love pasties. The upper peninsula of Michigan used to be full of mom and pop pasty stands. I hope it still is, I haven't been there in years.

    Another battery hint. Turn off wifi, bluetooth and location services when they are not in use. These can be a huge drain.

    I've heard all possible permutations (Laurel, Yanny, neither, and both) depending on the putative source. All on the same machine. Compression and transcoding might be a bigger variable than psycho-acoustics or age.
