There are benefits?

As a US citizen, it seems like it should be relegated to the last century and not dragged any further into the future.

Fabulous post! Loved the deets on the musical chops various cast have, as well as the roots of rhapsody to get us started.

The episode itself, which I’m watching now, is not what I expected and your post is thoroughly appreciated.

The second it becomes a profit center, the death spiral begins. Every “quick buck” opportunist will flock to the smell of easy money, let alone gamification of the system.

Amazon requires DRM, which Doctorow considers anathema. Since the author won’t allow DRM on his works, Amazon refuses to sell them.

In fact, the author, in order to be found in Audible search results, penned an essay explaining how Audible rips off writers and readers. It's called "Why None of My Audiobooks Are For Sale on Audible".

Yeah, there’s two types of septic system, aerobic (uses oxygen in the breakdown process) and anaerobic (doesn’t use oxygen).

Do you contract for maintenance? Talk to them.

If you don’t, and someone has been out, maybe you got their name, or company?

Reaching out to someone who’s worked on the system could save you a bundle in the long run.
