I had a weird CD/Cassette boombox in HS. The CD player could be pulled out and had its own battery compartment so it could be a portable CD player. The CD player took 6 AA batteries and had no skip protection.

Jumping spiders are some of the cutest animals.

Well, its apparently borked and I didn't realize it. I've never gotten an IP ban but I also wasn't using it a ton - mostly just for when I'd search for instructions on something an a YT vid was my only option.

I mainly use Nebula for watching videos. And the handful of creators I follow who are strictly youtube, get slurped up by ytdlp via Pinchflat

I host a number of alternate frontends. Alexandrite for Lemmy, Redlib for Reddit, Invidious for Youtube. And then I have the Privacy Redirect extension make any links to Reddit or Youtube go to my local.

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

The version my team invented was called "balloon ball" and the balloon had to touch a desk, wall, or cubical before it could be hit by a person again. But the important bit is that the balloon wasn't entirely filled with air, it was partially filled with the propellant from a duster can. That made the "ball's" path unpredictable.

There was also "balloon ball-ducken" in which there was a 2nd balloon inside the first balloon (and a sometimes a paperclip in the 2nd), but that sport was never quite ready for primetime.
