    It's like the old cable tv days where you had to get hundreds of useless channels and multiple packages and pay a fortune just to get the 3 channels you actually want.

    Very few newer full size trucks ever get used for "real" work..... Because they're so freaking expensive. Sure, some do, but that would be the big contractors who have a fleet of work trucks and so on. Regular guys will beat on the 15 year old stuff. Because they can afford to fix it if they have to.

    320 is fine, I know technically the difference between FLAC and 320 is hard to show, but I think the tracks I have in FLAC are encoded better or something, they just sound better overall.

    Usenet WAS basically the internet back in the early to mid 90s,they are also called list servers, that's basically what they are.

    You post to a list by topic and it appends your post to the list. It's like reddit in that there are topics and subjects but the list just goes on forever.

    Each post will have your subject line and other header info and the software will let you reply and quote and so on.

    The key is that it isn't very centralized, servers will copy the lists and host their own. The cool thing was it would let you post binaries. So piracy and pr0n on the internet was here b4 websites were really a thing.

    There are a lot of list servers out there but my understanding is that the good ones are a subscription now.
