When I was little, according to my parents I learned to read more or less by myself, by listening to books on cassette tape and reading along with a print copy.
What's the best place to find children's books that come with a (working) cassette tape? I'm also interested in books with audio CDs, but cassettes may be harder to find. I went to the Philly main branch library and they seem to have purged their music cassette tapes (to my horror).
yeah you also can't find shoe stores with xray machines to see your feet, or generally available leaded gasoline, either.
I just read to my kid. I am nearly positive someone on earth has transcribed/copied/PIRATED the audio cassettes for all those teddy ruxpin style stories, berenstain bears, the golden books, and whatnot.
like, i would be so confused if they didn't exist as mp3s or .ogg or whatever somewhere.
Ok spinsters. Advice needed.
At 18 I set out to work for a prestigious orchestra. But I ended up getting hired at a nightclub which has taken me on a detour of nearly 15 years. Just a couple weeks ago I finally got offered a summer contract that would have me working with some decently high profile classical music productions. It’s all quite posh and could open a lot of doors.
Simultaneously, with the World Cup coming to North America, I’ve had it in my head the past few years that I need to be involved somehow. I figured, maybe I’ll get in as a parking attendant or something. But FIFA of all people seem to think I’m worth something so I’ve been told that very soon I’ll have an offer in my inbox to be involved in a pretty significant way.
The classical place gave me a deadline that passed on Friday. I accepted their offer because at the time I wasn’t 100% sure FIFA would want me. I only found that out on Saturday morning. I’ve never backed out of a contract before and I’m unsure if going on this soccer side quest is worth turning away from this thing I’ve been trying to accomplish for a long time.
The World Cup is definitely a once in a lifetime thing, but my foray into sports doesn’t need to be something that colossal. On the other hand, I know how the classical music world is. Even with that gig, I’m not sure it would matter to the notable orchestras of the world. Many times I’ve contemplated giving up on that side of things altogether. Realistically, I’d probably have a much brighter future in sports. But do I even want a future in sports or do I think simply being involved in this particular tournament would make a good story? Maybe by doing it, I’ll see a lot more possibilities beyond concert production. 10 years removed from college, it could be time to shake things up?

what happens if they collide? you'd need ~1400 drones for guaranteed full coverage (the way starlink is trying to build out). You need 1400 drones that require maintenance when they land (refuel, recharge, check props and joints, etc).
it's a cute idea but just put the stuff in space. it's real big out there.

Tow truck is on it's way, we are off the street and safely parked, it is literally no worries.
Plan is to send my lovely wife home in the truck, if they don't have room in the cab (highly likely) I will be taking transit home.
My wife has called her unemployed friend, Cody, so he's going to get us home, it just might take a bit.

Interessante Einschätzung zur Situation rund um den Iran. Trump versucht durch Androhung von Gewalt den Iran zu einem Deal zu zwingen, bietet aber nix an, was nicht auf Kapitulation hinaus läuft. Die Gefahr das alles außer Kontrolle gerät ist riesig. Irak, Syrien, Lybien sind Beispiele dafür dass es auf blutiges Chaos über Jahre und Jahrzehnte hinaus laufen kann. Vielleicht ist das auch das Ziel.
