I don't disagree with you. But I have a lot of CDs already :) The rationale for me is that it's all available. I watched a Billy Joel documentary recently (I know π) but it made do a listen through his discography. I'm glad I didn't buy those. It turns out I already knew the songs I liked and discovered 0 enjoyable deep cuts. But even at $15 a disc that would have been a $200 play through. And yes I'm aware of the high seas and the library.

I pay for YouTube Music and premium gets thrown in for free. Why? It's mostly momentum.
I used Groove back when that was a thing, and when it folded I could migrate my playlists to YouTube so it was easy and than $10 a month. Now it's $30 but it's still like buying a cd a month. I am slowly de-googling and some month will stop using the service. It just hasn't been a top priority.
Lane assist is an absolute menace. It gets turned off in any rental I get in.
The colors are muddy.
I posted this link months ago and it never found traction. It's unpleasant to hear, but that boomer advice is how small business actually hires.
Big corporate uses AI tools and job boards. Small business want to look you in the eye and decide if they want to hang with you for 40 hours of every week of their lives.

I know several people who did that - trucks, boats, campers were all worth more used during COVID than they were worth new just a year or two before. You may recall there was a massive chip shortage during COVID and new vehicle production was greatly impacted.
Again I could be wrong but I thought that the WD stood for water dispersant which was the original application ( and still very good for that). The all purpose lubricant is not actually a great use for it. Spray silicone like Jig-a-loo is much better.
I thought that WD-40 was a purposeful development process. It was the 40th formulation that made it to market.
It's interesting to me, I learned an oral history in grad school that's somewhat different from the wiki record. This isn't the first time that it's happened and it's a lesson that history goes to the documentation.
I was told that it's development was tied to looking for suture alternatives and it was abandoned due to inflammation and rough edges on application.
The lesson, for me, is to be cautious about relying on single sources. I am enough of an expert in my areas (and this is not one of them) to be pretty suspicious of Wikipedia.
That's why the cyanoacrylates were developed - for surgical closure. Everything else is an afterthought.

But I don't want random bandcamp samplings. I mean I like new music and go to a lot of Indy shows, but I want the ability to hear a song I like and then do a deep listen to the artist without committing to CDs or a trip to the library if it's available.
