Speaking for Minnesotans and other winter folk, I would love to see heated seats as an option!

Up to now, I would have agreed with you. However, many residents of cities victimized by ICE see paying federal taxes as money that goes directly toward an enemy that is destroying their communities. I will happily pay my city and state taxes, but I no longer feel that my my federal tax dollars are helping much.

I live in Minneapolis, MN. The Federal government has cut public health grants, Medicaid, laid off a large portion of he Department of Health, cut Department of Human services, cut school funding, cut University of Minnesota funding, cut heating assistance, cut flood mitigation, cut USDA programs, and cut SNAP. This is just the things I can remember! Our city hosts Hennepin County Medical Center, which provides emergency care to the entire state, and it is risking closing due to federal cuts.

Minnesota has historically paid more in federal taxes than other states, and contributes more than it gets back. I think it's time for a change.

I also want to hear from the people who still maintain AOL in 2025!

I use and recommend Evermusic for offline listening on iOS. It can fetch music from your cloud storage accounts too.

Swinsian is 100% worth the $24.95. It's really nice to have a good system for offline music purchases.

Heck yeah! I use an RSS reader to consume news every day on both my phone and laptop. It's blissfully free of extras and distraction.

Go to church (I'm serious, even if you are an atheist)

> Go to a meditation center instead!

I bought a six-pack of sand timers. They are silent, require no apps, have no screens, and are beautiful. They will probably outlive solutions such as these.

I hate CSV too. If I have to use it, I'll live with TSV or some other special-charter delimited format.

On top of that, when people are are attacked politically by Trump, they are also threatened physically by his followers.

100%. I prefer having a separate client for various tasks.

As someone who listened to music from this album on a shitty clock radio growing up, this feels perfect.

Plain old AM/FM radios are cheap and super efficient. Everyone should have one! I have a portable radio that I use regularly and its AA batteries often last a few years!
