I’d say it depends if you can find the right person and what CD it is.

I got this for about $15 with shipping included from someone downsizing their TMBG collection - I’ve been seeking out a few singles/EPs from this band that never made it to streaming due to a label breakup and cancelled rarities compilation back in the 90s, so my CD collecting has been very specific. My CD collection is thus very limited.

From what I can see, a typical non-mint used CD runs $5-10 for more common albums. CDs actually do tend to still be produced for a lot of new albums (or at least what I listen to), though if I have to purchase an album, I usually go for digital download from artist website or their BandCamp.

For me, besides the hard-to-find tracks (besides through YouTube compression), the desire to keep it in good condition is less for resale value and more because I appreciate it as an art form.

But if you do downsize your collection and have two oddly specific CDs…

Anyhow, I don’t totally know about 8 tracks, but who knows - someone out there could want it. The band who made my CD actually did a limited run of their 2021 album on 8-track as well as a cassette run.

Very well. For simple memes, just plop a textbox.

Though drawing bezier curve paths to create masks is a bit cursed.

“Meme loops are the most common element in the fediverse.”

I do my memes in Inkscape. Should be rather easy to install on Mint.

I haven't watched most of Picard yet except the first few episodes of season 1, but I weirdly picked up this detail from the IDW Picard's Academy comic. I enjoyed it. Maybe not a masterpiece, but it was at my local library and I would read it again just to look at Spock's outfit:

There's just something weirdly fitting about business casual out Starfleet Academy Instructor Spock.

I see Kevin Riley. I say the magic words:

IIIIIIIIII'LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL TAAAAKEE YOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOEEEEEMMMMM AAAAAGGGGGAAAAAIIIIINNNN KAAATHLEEEEEEEEEEEEN

Now, who's up for an Ensign or LJG Riley appearance in SNW?

At least later GTK fixed the whole file picker thing, though.

Jokes aside, I would view this more as a Thomas Riker situation - Voyager was split in two in that moment. Both Kims were the same Kim before the divergence field, so both Kims have the same record before then.

In truth, probably part of Kim being stuck at one rank was probably because of a lack of transfers from Voyager, for obvious reasons - it's practically raining promotions on the Cerritos for instance, and transfer seems relatively frequent in Lower Decks.

Actually, according to an okudagram in PRO, he is at least a full Lieutenant by 2384 in the prime timeline.

How old is your laptop? Pretty much every Windows machine I've ever owned after a certain year requires you to type in your Bitlocker key, including my first-gen Surface Go from 2018.

Also, you often have to manually set up encryption on most Linux installs as well - I did it for my Thinkpad. I need to do it for my desktop as well - I should probably do a reinstall, but I'm thinking of backing everything up and trying to do it in-place just for fun. On top of that, we can finally transition to btrfs.

Always thought that Dukat was space war criminal version of Michael Scott.
