Politely disagree. M-disc for BD-Rs are still absolutely worth the money if you want to properly archive something. NIST has agreed that the archival lifetime of a M-Disc BD-R is 100+ years.

You have to be careful with normal BD-Rs because there are two different types of recording material on the market: High to Low and Low to High (LTH). You want to stay away from BD-R LTH discs as their longevity isn’t as good as the High to Low discs.

There is a ton of HD-DVD disc rot today. For a format, it definitely did not hold up to age.

Thank your deity that M-Disc exists.

It’s Hobby Lobby so there are Halloween and Christmas decorations up right now even if it’s June. It’s like they always start holiday decor 6 months in advance of the actual holiday.

For me, ChargePoint chargers are the easiest to use and consistently work best, but usually the most expensive.

Blink chargers are the worst. The app is clunky, slow, and the experience just never feels like they actually vetted the process. Also, it feels like they have a hard time keeping their chargers maintained.

What used to be Volta, now Shell (yeah the oil company) is a hit or miss depending on their charger actually working. Nice thing about Volta is that free is free (for now).

For actually finding working chargers, I use PlugShare.

They don’t want you to spend time in the restaurant. Less and less McDonalds PlayCenters are surviving. The seats in the restaurant purposely get uncomfortable after 20 minutes of sitting. Harsh lighting. Drab surfaces. They want you to get your food and go. Even better if you use the drive thru or mobile app. Any modern fast food restaurant like McDonald’s, but especially Starbucks, does not want to be your “third place”.

Fleabag is worth a watch. Not many episodes for both seasons so you can binge it quick before the ads start taking over. Great writing and acting. If you love watching people get in awkward, cringe situations, I highly recommend it.

Just read the community rules about not posting direct links. Sorry about that.

It’s available on archive.org. Its a pretty easy search to find it. Enjoy!

Aliens and an Aliens 3 working print VHS rip are also available.
