Did y’all know you can still get a victrola? And it plays vinyl, CDs, casettes and bluetooth…

I picked up a little Victrola bluetooth radio for the kitchen earlier this year. It’s not great. The sound goes out randomly (or drastically changes volume). Messing with the volume dial will usually fix it. Sometimes it needs to be turned off and back on again. It looks pretty cool, though!

Is yours just a bluetooth and radio? I wonder if different products by them are any better.

Yep, it has FM radio, bluetooth, and 3.5 mm aux in, but no cassette or record players. It’s pretty little. Their other stuff might be better, and mine might just be a lemon. I looked around online a while back and didn’t find anyone with the same issue.

Weird… it always sucks when you put your hard earned down for something and it doesn’t work as promised… I feel like with enshittification that’s happening more often than not now-a-days… I do like the fact that this one has a cassette player, too. I miss playing tapes, probably more than other formats.

Beginning in the 1950s, atomic gardens were a part of “Atoms for Peace”, an American program to develop peaceful uses of fission energy after World War II.

Okay, I was obviously not paying enough attention.

We had to buy specific brands of bottled water when visiting Jamaica.
The tap water at the first hotel where we stayed messed me up, even after boiling it to make tea. Mom wasn’t affected by it, but b/c I was, she quit drinking it, too.
I had no problems with tea nor ice water at restaurants.
Mom, weirdly, was affected by one of the brands of bottled water we got, but I was fine with all of them! When it happened to her, we were thankful for having bought three or four different brands; she was fine with the rest. I think we decided to water one of the mango trees with the offending jug.
On our way home from our 2nd or 3rd trip there, airport staff handed out tourist questionnaires. They were inquiring whether any digestive difficulties (intestinal iniquities, as it were) had been experienced during any visit to The Island. It was an issue the health and water ministries claimed they were determined to correct, but we never heard any more about it. Out of an abundance of caution we kept buying jugs of water. Immodium and the like are expensive AF there, for one thing.

It works pretty well — I thought the music must be coming from hidden speakers in the ceiling

Yup! Got one for Kidd Jr earlier this year for his birthday so he could finally listen to his Tame Impala LPs that he bought with his x-mas money.

They occasionally poop on the roof of the house we rent (in the valley section of the roof). I knew about toxic raccoon poop, so we wore masks when we swept it into our trash can, but I had not idea that the parasites can live beyond a few weeks. 
It looks like we will need to pour boiling water on our roof…not sure how to get boiling water on the roof without serious injury.
