They’re gonna have a major bump in Blu-ray sales as soon as I find that shop…
There’s a store in the outskirts of St. Louis, Missouri called Nickelflix that only sells DVDs and Blu-rays. Thousands of them, used and sealed, old and new releases. It was a sight to behold.

I have a folder on my desktop named "Old Desktop"
Inside which is a bunch of stuff and a folder named "Old Desktop"

I don't even know how many layers deep it goes at this point.

Possibly the most insane single exposure I've ever taken. Just as I asked my friend Jens to point at Comet 46P/Wirtanen, a meteor streaked underneath the open star cluster Pleiades (M45).

This:
Hot take that shouldn't be hot... Buy tech that lasts if you can. Keep things for years. Repair what you can instead of trashing it or find a way to repurpose it if you cant use it anymore (example: my old desktop becoming a NAS)
Also Bluetooth earbuds are essentially e-waste.
