The MiniDisc format, introduced by Sony in the late 1990s, was a revolutionary music storage medium that allowed users to record, play, and edit digital audio with ease. Although it never gained widespread popularity, the MiniDisc still holds a special place in the hearts of many music enthusiasts. However, with the rise of digital music and the decline of physical media, many MiniDisc owners are left wondering how to convert their beloved music collections to a more modern format. In this article, we will explore the process of converting MiniDisc to your computer, allowing you to breathe new life into your old music library.

As winter arrives, airports dust off their deicing equipment and ready for another season of cold, snow, and ice. While a car may be safely operated partially covered in ice or snow, aircraft must be completely free of contamination to assure a safe flight. Deicing can sometimes lead to flight delays, but the alternative is far worse. We spoke with Andrew Poure, a former aircraft deicer, to learn more about what goes in to deicing a plane and how the orange or green liquid being sprayed on the plane actually works.

"the last full Moon on Feb. 29 was in 1972, and the next will be in 2048"
Just in case you were wondering. ;)
If you trust some gratuitous browser AI that kicks off with:
People also ask "Has there ever been a full moon on February 29th?"
What people ? Not normal people surely ? El Rego commentards excepted of course perhaps.

I'm hoping to make it to 2048 since I'll be a power of 10 in a power of 2.
Yes, I'm an old geezer.

One destination passengers were definitely not hoping to reach
Bork!Bork!Bork! As if to demonstrate that whatever one operating system can do, Windows can do it better, bluer, and upside down, we present a bus stopping only at bork.
Today's example of signage woes - thanks to reader Spike - comes from a Nottingham bus, headed for Recovery (though hopefully the right way up).
According to an eagle-eyed Register reader, the screen normally shows the next few stops, but now it is only displaying a baleful blue screen and a warning that Windows is very unhappy about something.
"Your PC/Device needs to be repaired" is not the message a bus's passengers expect to see.
Using the SAVE data, the state found 186 noncitizens in the state were registered to vote, while 25 actually cast illegal ballots.
Alabama is one of 26 states that agreed to use the SAVE program. The system allows states to make bulk inquiries about citizenship, whereas previously a jurisdiction would have to analyze voter records individually. //
The Trump administration made the SAVE system available to state election officials as part of a larger executive order on election integrity.
Under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, and the Help America Vote Act of 2002, states are required to regularly update and maintain voter registration rolls to ensure ineligible voters, or voters who have left a jurisdiction, are no longer improperly registered.
On another front, the Justice Department has sued 23 states to obtain voter registration data to ensure compliance with the two federal laws. The agency announced the two most recent lawsuits against Arizona and Connecticut on Tuesday.
Every Alabama resident identified through the SAVE database was notified and allowed to respond by submitting documentation proving U.S. citizenship, according to the Alabama Secretary of State’s office.
OPEN SOURCE POLICY SUMMIT 2026 SUSE recommends that companies should run on FOSS – but an accidental revelation from a company exec, live on stage, reveals it doesn't practice what it preaches. It's not alone.
For this vulture, the single most amusing revelation from any of the industry speakers at this year's Open Source Policy Summit was from SUSE's Dominic Laurie, who moderated the final panel discussion of the day, "Sovereignty and Procurement."
The panel ended a few minutes before the scheduled time, and he closed it with a surprising comment:
We'll give you three minutes back, as they say on Teams meetings!
The other panelists looked surprised, and one, Polish MEP Michał Kobosko, immediately picked up on it:
That was a bit of a giveaway!
It most certainly was. SUSE is one of the Policy Summit's Gold-level sponsors, alongside Red Hat. The tagline for the event is "Digital Sovereignty Runs on Open Source" – but apparently SUSE does not run entirely on open source. This leading European vendor of enterprise FOSS runs on Microsoft, or at least it uses Redmond's collaboration services.

When Silence Disqualifies Faith Leadership
This is where the line must be drawn clearly.
Faith leaders who refuse to confront truth because they fear how their congregations will react are not exercising faith.
They are managing risk.
Scripture defines faith plainly. Hebrews 11:1 tells us faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.
Faith has never required safety.
It has always required courage.
If you cannot speak God’s truth when it threatens attendance, donations, reputation, or comfort, you may be a leader of people, but you cannot claim to be a leader of faith.
Jesus did not soften His message to keep followers.
He told the truth and watched people walk away.
Comfort is not a fruit of the Spirit.
Federal employment dropped to 2,686,000 in January 2026, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That number has not appeared in federal labor data since Lyndon B. Johnson was in the White House.
The Bureau’s “All Employees, Federal” series confirms it. We have not seen staffing levels this low since May 1966. //
According to Office of Personnel Management data summarized in public reporting, more than 322,000 federal employees left the government workforce during the first year after Trump returned to office. //
Those exits came in different forms. Roughly 149,500 resigned. More than 105,000 retired. Around 10,500 were laid off. Even after new hires were added, overall staffing declined noticeably.
And it was not limited to a single agency tucked away from public view.
In these ways, she is a typical student at Mr. Jefferson’s university. But what makes her really stand out from the crowd at UVA is that she is planning on getting married this year, in November, at the age of twenty-two.
Her early marriage plans did not go over well with her parents, at least not initially. When Lillian told her parents, they “weren’t immediately supportive”—in fact, they were “angry, maybe heartbroken.” She added, “They want what’s best for me, and they defined that as seeing the world, working for [awhile], and ‘realizing my full potential’ before settling down. While I understand the appeal of that [conventional] path—and sure, a random weekend trip to Spain sounds nice—it simply doesn’t measure up to the importance of marriage for me.” //
One professor at UVA put it this way: “You’re throwing your whole life away. Why would I help you get a job if you’re not going to work that long? You could be something really cool on Wall Street, and you’re choosing marriage instead.”
The pushback has been profound because so many of her peers and professors are devoted to what I’ve called the “Midas Mindset”—the idea that what matters most in your life is building your own individual brand, seeing work as the summit of your life, and steering clear of the encumbrances of family life in your twenties. Your twenties are supposed to be devoted to education, work, and fun. //
Kirk’s case for twenty-something marriage to young adults was three-fold. First, the culture is telling you to lean into work and travel. But working for the man and “traveling to Thailand” is not going to bring you the fulfillment you think it will. Second, you will minimize your odds of being miserable and maximize your odds of living a meaningful and happy life by getting married and having kids. So, don’t wait to embark on life’s most important journey. Third, do not assume that you can wait until your thirties to find a spouse and start your family. If you wait, you may miss out. //
Amy Shearn in The New York Times insisting that “married heterosexual motherhood in America … is a game no one wins.” From the right, online influencers like Andrew Tate assure us that “the problem is, there is zero advantage to marriage in the Western world for a man.” //
Here again, Kirk knew what he was talking about. You might not guess it from watching the latest episode of Emily in Paris, but the happiest young women (22-35) today are not footloose and fancy free, they are married moms. And the ones least likely to be happy are single and childless. Data from the General Social Survey indicate that 41 percent of young married moms (22-35) are “very happy” with their lives, compared to just 14 percent of their female peers who are single and childless. That’s a big gap. //
Indeed, young married men (22-35) who are married with children are almost three times as likely to be “very happy” with their lives compared to their peers who are single and childless. Only 14 percent of young men who are single and childless are “very happy” compared to 37 percent of their peers who are married fathers. Not only are young adults who put a ring on it happier with their lives in general, the research also suggests they enjoy marriages that are somewhat happier and more sexually satisfying than those who marry later. //
Trends like these help explain why a record share of today’s young adults—one-in-three—are projected never to marry.
They also explain why Charlie Kirk made this provocative claim about young women’s odds of having a child: “If you don’t have kids by the age of thirty, you have a 50 percent chance of not having kids.” His comment struck even me as a stretch, and I’ve been studying the American family for the last twenty-fix years. But, again, he was onto something. //
This is another reason that I tell my students they need not wait until thirty. If you find the right person in your twenties, don’t hesitate to commit—or risk missing what may be the most important opportunity of your life: building a marriage and family.
