Cassette tapes make unexpected comeback in era of music streaming

Why? They're more portable than vinyl and doesn't skip like a CD Walkman and that is it as far as advantages go. Other than that they're a pain. Rewind, fast forward, pushing buttons, and they get ate. Easier to record on, but that's different than listenint to music.

Spotify is trying to suggest country to me again. Will it ever learn? Especially things with a Confederate flag. Does it not consider theres songs in some of my playlists that are abit-Confederate?

 

[Shadow Wolf]

And a winning song from Deep Purple.

Spotify thinks I had an "emo cowgirl" phase. I had neither on their own nor together.

The more the corporation takes over the more I hate the work team applied to the office. We are ONLY a team if the corp needs something from the gov side... otherwise we are forgotten, omitted and ignored

There is an advantage to being forgotten, omitted and ignored a lot of the time. Do you really want corporate eyeballs 2 inches from yours all the time? I don't think so.

I have a great uncle that taught me budgeting/banking. He helped me get checks, and taught me how to balance a checkbook... 20 years ago. He gets so frustrated when he asks me anything to do with my checks... I have to explain I haven't used checks since before my son was born(17 years ago). Most places won't take them anymore.

That's true, as explained in this funny scene from Taxi:

True, but we are ignored at the cost of our users. My boss was off, I was late, no one emailed him or me and when I got in one of our system was down and had been down for 2 hours and it was preventing the majority of our users from logging in. I asked why no one contacted my boss of myself, answer...I told my supervisor....who by the way does not work in that office and is 150 miles away. I asked if they contacted another person they should have contacted...answer,,,I told my supervisor, they can contact him....I walked away, contacted who needed to be contacted and the system was up and running in exactly 15 minutes.

Just today a question was asked...that to be answered, they need to tell me about their systems..... crickets

Even back when checks were more common, a lot of places didn't accept them - or only accepted them if they were from a local bank or with a check guarantee card. Too many people passing off bad checks.
