Did a little digging and it appears the Hezbollah pages were POCSAG/FLEX which does indeed appear to be one-way, so that’s very possibly a reason why they were picked

How do you figure? A pager is just a way dumber phone, but it’s still a client on a cellular network like any other.
The candidates themselves aren’t really that important, they’ve shown themselves to be chameleons whose positions shift as it’s convenient and necessary. Authoritarian self-styled strongman Donald Trump felt compelled to show up at the Libertarian National Convention only to get booed when he tried to woo voters, so there must be at least some recognition of third parties’ interests.
Every four years it’s “the most important election of our lives”, and if we’re not scared into voting D it’ll be the death of Democracy itself. Sorry, I’m not a buyer. My state had a double-digit R majority in 2020, it’s not in my interest to vote for a candidate I don’t want.
Not if I want to continue participating in my party, it’s astounding how that simple concept is so difficult for everyone to understand
It does actually work that way, at least sometimes. If a major party loses enough votes to a third party, it forces them to adjust their platform at least enough to win back would-be voters.
Whenever third party voters honestly tell people that they are voting third party because it closely aligns with their values, and that neither major party is even slightly compatible, major party apologists and cheerleaders come out of the woodwork to saying actually you’re one-of-us, you just don’t know it yet, and if you just vote hard enough for my candidate then things will get better. It’s been over a hundred years of least dirty of two shirts, and it’s not getting better.
I’m not a major party member, so I can’t vote in their primaries
These snarky jabs are missing the point. I’m not a major party prodigal son casting a spite vote, I am actually not interested in either of their platforms and want to force them slowly over time to change.
If he’s killed by his own people, it’ll probably be poisoning because that’s way cowards do it
Mavis Beacon would cry if she were around to see this
I think it’s the tendency of producers in that era, around 2000-2010 was peak Loudness War, and many albums were pushed into clipping. IMO it started getting better through the 2010s as the emphasis on radio charts started to wane and listening habits shifted away from earbuds and portables.
That may be a thing with some releases, but I’m convinced that the original pet sounds and even the MFSL mono release are very inferior to that one HDCD stereo release. Still I’m listening to in 16bit/44kHz form, but to me it sounds way higher fidelity and likely is closer to the source. I can pick out instruments and sounds that I didn’t hear in the other version.
In general though I find modern ‘remasters’ are horrible and compressed and I think it’s lame that services like Spotify usually have only the most recent (and therefore worst) version of a given album.
May the source be with you
What’s interesting is just how different the quality was of some of the stereo releases vs the mono bounces. For an example, the stereo HDCD version of Pet Sounds is a little wack, but even if you joined the two channels to mono it sounds a hundred times better than the shittastic mono release. Got to wonder if they optimized it for AM radio play the way that similarly awful sounding releases in the early 2000s optimized for iPod earbuds.
Unmuted this and was very disappointed that there wasn’t a trombone sound
Never wanted to smack a planter until today
Women are so cute and cute and cute and cute and cute and cute and cute and cute and cute and cute and cute and cute and cute and cute and cute and cute and cute and cute and cute and cute and cute and cute and cute
English used to be that way as well:
Sing a song of sixpence
A pocket full of rye
Four and twenty blackbirds
Baked in a pie.
In these lyrics “four and twenty” means 24
Yeah I realize that now after doing more research
