Physical media was better, sounds better and can’t be taken away because someone decided they didn’t want you to have it anymore.
Also, minidiscs were the perfect blend of the audio quality of CDs and the convenience of cassettes, but with even more potential uses.

For the last 5 years, LAPD has received 3x the budget of LAFD.
The department that coordinates these incredible emergency responses, the Emergency Management Department, gets about $4million - less than .1% of LAPD’s budget.
When you talk to people offline about these fires, drop that in.

He violates it. She calls cops. They don’t come by.
Repeat several times.
Eventually, he murders her and daughters.
Family sues cops, said had obligation to respond and failed.
