Do you prefer CD-R or CD-RW for music? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

The price difference is quickly made up for with the re-usability factor.

I don't think that's true, CD-Rs cost pennies. You have to rewrite every CD-RW 4 or 5 times before it's comparable in price. In practice, across every CD-RW ever made, the approximate number of times it is written is probably about 0.5

How do you feel about Tom Scott going on hiatus after 10 years? in c/casualconversation@lemmy.world
[–] lordmauve@programming.dev 6 points 9 months ago

I like Tom Scott, I think his videos are interesting and well produced. But I'm glad for the break, I think I've reached saturation on Tom Scott content and am starting to find Tom Scott's Tom Scott mannerisms and speech patterns to be a bit too gratingly Tom Scott. The earnest Tom Scott monologues, Tom Scott's Tom Scott laugh while experiencing something Tom Scott about 3/4 predicted, the Tom Scott pause before delivering that last Tom Scott factoid.

Anyway, I hope he has a nice break and comes back some day soon.
