If I were you I'd if get rid of the original spindle with the ball bearing and o-ring retention system, it damages discs. I bought a broken portable CD player online with the spring loaded plastic tabs and swapped them, much gentler on the disc and since the ps1 is only a 2x drive the speeds aren't an issue.

    Sous vide before that was a thing...

    • Boil-in-the-bag fish in a creamy butter sauce
    • Frozen veg
    • Pasta

    Bring pan of water to the boil, add bag of fish and veg. Wait 10 mins, add pasta, wait another 10 mins. Serve.

    Nutritious and tasty, one pan, saved me at uni.

    The amount of times I've seen this error over the last 5+ years, and until now I've not seen one comment mention it. Thank you you've restored my faith in people knowing what words mean. I've got to the point that if I see it in prose I stop reading because I assume the writer is an idiot.

    A podcast is basically a blog with RSS feed where all the entries are audio files. So in theory you could do it that way it's probably be a bit of a job to set up, then serving the files would take a fair bit of bandwidth (if it gets even moderately popular), encoding to something like OPUS format might help if playback support in podcast players is widespread (MP3, AAC or OGG Vorbis might be a better fallback.

    The audio editor I would choose is Audacity it's been the gold standard for a free audio recorder/editor for years.

    Careful with hosted podcasting services terms and conditions they can be restrictive with what you can do with your podcast later.

    She said that, for most people who want to go to university, “you couldn’t get a commercial loan because you don’t have the credit history, you don’t have the collateral, you certainly wouldn’t be able to get something which you could write off if you don’t hit certain repayment thresholds”.

    So exploiting people who have no choice then, nice.

    IMO it's a fairly minor annoyance. Though I think if the forks allow a feature into their codebase and they wanted to disable by default they could, so that's on them. If you use a fork where that's the case then maybe emailing them to say these features should be disabled by default or even not merged at all would be more productive.
