That library of Congress page doesn’t really have any information about the provenance of the print in their collection either. My main point was that you’ve posted not just 2 different scans of a single work but that the 2 are scans of completely different printings.
This is a different scan of a different print. I’m not sure why you say the wikimedia rendition is better. The print itself is much less precise and the colors are completely different in some areas. They are absolutely not different scans of the same object. I don’t know enough to pick one print over the other in regards to provenance and authenticity, but I’m inclined to trust the one hosted by a museum over the one hosted by Wikimedia from an unknown source.
In thousands of songs, I’ve never noticed Picard doing anything to the length of the files. I tend to manually review every album by running it through Picard and letting it handle the renaming and tagging. That structure used to be Artist/Year Album/Song. I’ve been less strict about naming the songs themselves. It’s always at least track - Title, but sometimes Artist - Album - Disc # - is prepended. Eventually I ran into a situation where I had multiple versions of a release/album with different enough content to warrant keeping both, so now I throw a release ID number (if is exists) after the album name, and inside brackets, for the directory name.
It’s a very flat structure by design, so I’m never quibbling about where I sourced something or what particular genre it is when I’m looking for it. That dramatically reduces the likelihood of duplicates too. Real metadata is better left to tags, since that’s mostly what any player will see anyway.
If I’m having trouble getting Picard to recognize something it always because: musicbrainz.org is missing the release, doesn’t have acoustic ID, or Picard preferred the album track when I’m trying to rename and tag a single or EP. Adding the release info and acoustic ID to musicbrainz is easy and I can usually use the info before the release is even reviewed, but often in trying to add the release I’ll find the correct one and now I can help fill out the data about it.
I treat musicbrainz.org as MY metadata database. If a release is missing or has problems, I do the work to make it better. It’s good digital citizenship and learning about their rules for releases helps me manage my server better.
Dishwashers use less water than you will doing the same task. They may not be perfect for every dish, but washing by hand when there is a functional dishwasher is justing pissing away time, effort, and a lot of water.
“Secret Links”, Like that one scene in that Sandra Bullock hacker movie, The Net.

Wildest dystopian cyberpunk movie ever made. In an underground dinosaur society once ruled by a benevolent fungal king and taken over by corrupt corporation developing trans-dino de-volution technology to control the masses, two sanitation engineers from Brooklyn become heros. To do so they must hack the mycelial network to find the lost king, survive an electric vehicle demolition derby style car chase, and save the princess.
The absolute best are rainy days without lightning in a place with some nature and privacy. I feel like dancing naked in the rain and being able to come back in to a dry house, a towel to dry yourself, a good book, and a hot tea, is a very rare experience these days. Thunderstorms are great too when you have safe shelter. But dancing naked in a thunderstorm feels a bit like tempting fate too much, which is thrilling too in a way but also I’ve got creatures inside depending on me staying safe.
They are black with white stripes. You can look it up, or you can just look closely at a zebra. I wouldn’t recommend the later outside a controlled situation with protected contact though. Zebras are assholes. There’s a reason they haven’t been domesticated.
I replied to a couple comments that they seemed to imply had been removed. We’ll see what happens. These were also comments in which they claimed reading was unhealthy, so I don’t expect much coherent discussion.
Is this the comment you claim got removed in the post edit?
Is this the comment you claim got removed? Maybe read up on the issues piefed seems to have.

This is America. Cars, tactical gear, and military vehicles are cheaper than an employee with benefits like healthcare, workers comp insurance, etc. way way way cheaper.
Did you have to send an actual physical photo through the post?
I ask because that was a unique time of tech transformation. I might have had a digital camera then, but being able to email a photo wasn’t yet common enough to be assumed to be possible or convenient for everyone. Just the fact that it was an 800 number and not an email for customer service says a lot. I’m reminded of watching the first Scream movie recently, where cell phones existed, but were rare enough that having one fall out of character’s pocket made them immediately suspicious. A detail that would be totally inconsequential today.
I too liked it better than I thought I would. It felt like a classic Ray Bradbury story.
Late guerilla marketing for The End of Oak Street?
Orchard Manager sounds fucking awesome. Please let me play with autonomous drones, GIS, and data crunching so that I can be a modern day Lorax. I’ll even grow that massive mustache if it helps. I feel like I might get caught between the environment and the corporate interests in the end.
His family name was actually Drumpf. His immigrant grandfather Americanized it on or shortly after arriving in America.
This is something that has actually happened to multiple children though.
