Re:It's a shame what's happened to radio on Wednesday July 22, 2026 @09:27PM (#49015704)
I admit to not listening to radio anymore but I was surprised to hear that there are still some music stations with local DJ's in Vancouver.

This article also claims that radio is slowly gaining listeners.

We use a perpetual calendar just for birthdays on our bathroom wall. It is or used to be common in Holland.
This weekend and next week they will be playing David Bowie's 'Live At Montreux' at Lobe in Vancouver. Lobe is a unique room with the speakers installed in the floor and ceiling. https://lobestudio.ca/new-events/david-bowie-live-at-montreu...

Check if your local library has a PressReader subscription. It doesn't help open links to paywalled articles, but depending on your library, you may already have access to a lot of newspapers and magazines.
This is great. One little thing, after the last song in the playlist is over, it would be nice if the state remained in play mode so that when another song is added to the queue the new song would play right away.

Also, I've been wanting something just like this but that would also play the video as well as audio.

Yes, I use a 30 second rule as well! If something extra might happen within the frame, waiting it out often pays off.

And we could make those catalogs more appealing to the general public by inserting a lot of exclusive content like news, essays, or short stories.

I basically agree with the spirit of what you're saying but the line is not clear.

There's no mention yet of Kagi's Orion browser. What are people's thoughts on that?
Company 4 is a reasonable answer. What's the point in having a scoring system if you're going to use personal judgement to determine the winner? Of course company 4 would be a bad fit. But the problem is the method that was originally chosen to evaluate the companies. The key is "according to the evaluation detailed in the chart". In reality, the company should look at these results and realize that they need a new evaluation method.

Yes, this technique sounds really good. Thanks for this.

No, I believe it is the nature of web components that they can't be server rendered. I'm not talking about framework components like react, vue, etc.
Re:Shoelace: A library of web components on Wednesday January 10, 2024 @06:04PM (#38944782)
I'm not happy with any of the solutions to prevent a flash of undefined components. Has anyone given up on web components for that reason? Or is there a best practice for this?
Re:Why Tailwind CSS Won on Wednesday August 16, 2023 @02:49PM (#37151811)
But "color" doesn't apply to just text. Changing the color of an element affects the currentColor and applies to default border colors. The property name "color" makes more sense than "text-color" imho.

If this interests you and you are in LA, check out the exhibit Coded: Art Enters the Computer Age, 1952–1982 (until July 2 at LACMA).

Re:Fed increases target rate to 3.75-4.00% on Wednesday November 02, 2022 @06:47PM (#33443928)
Both groceries and gas are sold at low profit margins - I've heard as low as 1-2% for groceries. They are commodities, there's a lot of competition, and shoppers are very price conscious. If grocery stores can make a profit selling food cheaper they will. If grocery stores can pay less rent for their stores, pay less wages for their staff, pay less for all their expenses, those savings will get passed down to consumers as cheaper food.
And if you live in such a culture and have a poor sense of direction you are said to have two west feet.
The Polygon Gallery (North Vancouver, BC) hosted The Clock a few years ago. But staying open for a 24 hour long film must be much easier than for a month long film.

If you click and drag any of the icons on the wheel it won't work. Click and drag the whitespace within the wheel and it works.
