  • Your iPad is an MP3 player, but as far as ripping a CD, first you need a USB CD drive, which is easy enough to get.

    BUT… iOS doesn’t recognize optical drives, so once you have the USB drive, you need some other device to connect it to in order to rip the CDs.

    Could be something like a Steam Deck or an inexpensive laptop or Chrome Book.

    Once you rip the files to the device, you need to probably upload them to cloud storage accessible by both that device and the iPad.

    Once the files are transferred to the iPad, you should be good to go!








  • I feel seen… If I were asked “what’s the ideal family size?” I would answer “2”. Because that way you don’t have one kid flying solo and at the same time mom and dad aren’t outnumbered.

    That being said, how many have I personally had? 0. Lots of different reasons for it. I was RESPONSIBLE for one after getting married to a single mom (bio dad died), not the same as having my own.

    Having my own now is increasingly unlikely as we get older and I had a heart attack and open heart surgery.






  • I was going to say, when I was a kid, growing up in the 70s, I had a dirt bike with a spedometer and I regularly pushed that thing to 25mph just with the pedals.

    My first thought was “faster than 20? No big deal…”

    But then I hit this:

    “in fact, the Talaria can hit 70 miles per hour. His mother gave him her blessing, she said, and even helped him clip a wire that removes the speed “governor” that ordinarily limits the vehicle to 20 miles per hour.”

    Having an eBike that can go that fast with relatively no modification at all does not seem wise to me, and it’s irresponsible of the parent to assist in that.

    1 year after graduation, one of my high school friends got into an argument with his girlfriend, was riding his motorcycle too fast without a helmet, and crashed straight into the back of a garbage truck, killing him instantly.

    A bike helmet wouldn’t have helped, maybe a DOT approved motorcycle helmet would have.
