Twenty-two bucks for the same model Walkman that I had my first year of college? Sure—why not?

“Nothing spins but motor seems to work,” reads the item description… odds are good it just needs a new belt.

I had been thinking about getting one of those We Are Rewind things—the Bluetooth and USB-charging battery are compelling features—but by all accounts, they are built around garbage motors and read heads because no one makes the good ones anymore.

Earlier this morning in a chat with a co-worker, I was asking them whether they could do something, and they dropped the “Only Sith deal in absolutes” quote and without even thinking, I responded with “Do or do not, there is no try,” and it was only just then that Yoda’s latter statement to Luke directly contradicts the earlier statement by Obi-Wan. I started thinking through the implications of that, and then decided it is probably just sloppy writing.
