Don't know those, also, stopped doing night shifts (mostly) :)

I miss the old Yahoo games site where during night shift you could play Canasta with probably some retired folks from the other side of the world

But what do you do if that field is needed? A throwaway address won't work as it's easy to recreate. Buy your own domain and run a server?

I use a Kindle, but never bought a single book from them. I mostly use their transfer method for convenience instead of looking for a cable. As for books, I downloaded a few gigs of ebooks in html/RTF/doc format well before e-ink was invented, and use those with calibre to convert to epub. Pdfs are rather suboptimal for ebooks.

Have you tried tiny macros with q and @? Syntax highlighting? Z-folds? Or turn vi into a hex editor with :%!xxd ?

If that doesn't work, try :divorce

Use justtherecipe.com - it will not only cut ads, but also the sob story about the writer's grandmother and how they kept this thing a family secret for exactly 137 years until now.

Sure, there are transmitters without Bluetooth. I somehow preferred the SD card, as it would hold a few Gb of music and needed no internet connection. The only downside was if I was driving short trips only for a while, and it stuck with a 20-min long Deep Purple concert track every time :)

I think there was a 99% invisible podcast episode about that, it's prison inmates. For some never-changed rule they are only allowed music on cassettes, so they are probably the target audience mainly.

Just a few years ago I had an old car with a cassette player/radio, and from time to time I enjoyed the cassette player with some leftover stuff, but in most cases I just used an FM transmitter

And a language model, absolutely unsuited for this task, just as much as a lawnmower or a float needle.

Can you elaborate on that? Honestly I'm not very familiar with the guy except the name, and the news articles were obviously mostly positive

One suggestion in the old days was to stick a nail in an apple for a while and then eat it. The apple of course. Without the nail
