> Not only that, but Dylan did not perform his usual fare. Instead, he performed four 1950s covers, several of which he’s never sung before or since: Buddy Holly’s “Heartbeat,” Fats Domino’s “Blueberry Hill,” Lefty Frizzell’s “You’re Too Late,” and Big Bill Broonzy’s “Key to the Highway.”

songs like those ARE his usual fare these days. Apparently not exactly those tunes, but covers like those are typical


According to setlist.fm, that show [0] is indeed the only time he’s played “Heartbeat” and “Blueberry Hill”. For the other, he’s only played them 3 or 4 times each, and it’s the last show for both.

> songs like those ARE his usual fare these days

I've seen him recently and those are not his usual fare: https://www.bobdylan.com/setlists/

He played a couple of his most well-known songs, a few off his recent albums, and one or two I didn't know. It was not 1950s covers...


I've seen him a few times in the last few years. At each show he played like two or three covers, and the rest were his songs.

Nope, not all of them are connected to the internet and not all of them have cameras.

Thanks. That's true. I edited my comment to reflect as much.

This is a little tangent, but up until somewhat recently Apple hosted ftp servers with old versions of Mac OS available. So you could get system 7.6 (released 1997) straight from them for a new install on your old machine. I think that is no longer the case, but within the last decade you still could. (I think, idk, time flies)


Amusingly, download.info.apple.com still appears to serve all the files that used to be on the old FTP site, including a small and somewhat random subset of old system software versions for Mac and Apple II, Newton firmware updates, etc., but directory browsing isn't enabled, so you need direct links, which you can get from the Wayback machine[1].

But once you have the links, you can download the actual files directly from Apple, e.g., if you're ready to upgrade your Mac Plus to the latest and greatest version of System 6, download

Could be some very dry humor? Confused LLM seems most likely though.


I mean, that’s what they meant too. They’re expensive! Kinda a stereotypical rich thing to have, more so than therapy. One distinction that you might be thinking of without saying between individual sessions and group workouts which are cheaper.


Personal training sessions with experienced staff at my David Lloyds in London are around £50-60 for 45 minutes. That's entry-level cost for therapy, which can easily go north of £100 per hour around here.

I reckon the reason people use therapy is not because it's cheaper, but because they're less confident about how to do "mental exercise" than they are physical exercise.


Not exactly the same. Very nearly the same. I’m not real familiar with the physics of computation but look into theoretical minimum power consumption. Something like 99.999% the same heat output IIUC.


> And by now the car is unattractive anyway, nobody is going to steal it so I don't need to worry too much about it.

Think you’ve got that backwards. Typically it is older cars that get stolen. 13 years old is new enough it should be harder to steal, but for joyriding or as a vehicle for doing other crimes the thieves are not looking for a new car.


Also in the US, never been fingerprinted. Well, I think. You mentioned CA DMV, and I don’t remember a fingerprint, but I did have a California drivers license over a decade ago, so maybe? But most people don’t have security clearance, most are not in the military, most do not have global entry. Also the horse permit one is just funny.


One thing that is different is that carriers regularly subsidize phones. I paid 0 for my current phone, an iPhone 13 mini (when it was relatively new), partner paid nothing for theirs, latest pixel.

Now, lower cost carriers do less of this, and you need to get the high end plan, so it’s not good advice for everyone to get the free phone deal. It is one way a laptop is different. A decent chunk of people aren’t directly paying for their phone.


When you say you paid 0, presumably your just paid for it via a monthly contract over several years?


No. Most carriers have free phone promotions regularly. I paid $0. I think the phone before that was also $0. No impact on my bill (since I was already on the unlimited 5g super speed blah blah blah plan, these promotions serve as a way to get people into the all the bells and whistles $80 plans)


Macintosh toolbox was Pascal first right? Or at least there was an era where it was. And I think this naming convention is kinda a pascal thing.


Yes, Apple is the actual creator of Object Pascal variant, and there was a Pascal based OS using P-Code for Apple II GS.
