Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Let me give that a shot. And that reminds me, should do something about the disappearing slashes.

What are the cons of it?
The FF/REW function is sketchy at best. The sound quality is kinda weird in my car. It starts to sounds all crackle-y so I have to yank on the cord a bunch of times to get it to work correctly. A few minutes later, crackling again.
Plus I really need to be able to charge and play, which I wasn't thinking of when I bought it.

Excellent. That's a start. Now I have to work out how to deal with the disappearance of one of the parameters of the function called in the preg_replace section.

I have a separate charger (sometimes I charge one, play the other, all the time admiring my diamond shoes) so that never occurred to me.
My current deck (forget the brand) gives an error in my tape deck intermittently. More than half the time it tries to play side B, side A, side B again and then ejects it. The one I have before that just gave up the ghost in terms of playing sound never had that mechanical problem.

The battery on my mini is going so I will run out of juice often. In which case, I plug the charger in the bottom and the adapter into the headphone jack. But, of course, since this one uses the bottom adapter, I can't do that here.
And that happens to me every once in a while with the monster adapter. From what i can tell, it occurs when I've first put it in to the tape deck (the adapter usually lives inside the tape deck. I only take it out when I'm going on a trip or something.) or when it's cold outside.

Bugger. Of course. They need to fix that.
From what i can tell, it occurs when I've first put it in to the tape deck (the adapter usually lives inside the tape deck. I only take it out when I'm going on a trip or something.) or when it's cold outside.
For me, it's whenever I turn the stereo on.
Vaguely relatedly, I was listening to Kojo Nnamdi (on my iPod, so connected) where someone was bitching about CD rips losing fidelity.
I remember when the issue was CDs vs. LPs. Are we beyond that?

In retrospect, I don't even know why I bought the one I did. It was just dumb. Now I'm out 25 bucks and still need to buy a casette adapter.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
So we seem to have decided that FM adapters suck and tape adapters suck?

I wouldn't say tape adapters suck.
