So I've figured out! Appreciate the other advice.

Found an unopened 900g bag of kidney beans in the cupboard that's been sitting there for ages. I'll be all right on that front for some time then.

I'm lucky that apples are in season and ~$1/kg. Potatoes and carrots are also cheap.

Never considered how easy it is to make bread either. Unfortunately I lack a working oven, as well as a frying pan.

Amusingly, this thing has already taught me some very basic new things about cooking, like how salt+fat is a superpower for making food taste better.

Was playing two songs from my phone to a speaker during a funeral service yesterday. Played the first one, then turned the speaker off until about a minute before the second song was to be played, because my phone tends to disconnect unexpectedly from that speaker if it isn't actually playing.

As the officiant was introducing the last song, I glanced down at my phone to see how long it was, and noticed that I had somehow paused that song 17 seconds in. That would have been a little abrupt, having John Denver come in mid-line to a chapel full of hippie and hippie-adjacent mourners.

Late last year I created a signature to highlight the abuse and civil rights infringement of two black individuals, Dexter Wade and Nakari Campbell. I accidentally misspelled Dexter Wade's name and for that I'm deeply sorry to Mr. Wade, and any FM who attempted to investigate the story.

On March 5 Dexter Wade was killed while crossing an intersection by an off-duty cop, by March 9 the coroner identified him and gave the contact info for his next of kin to the police department who didn't notify his family. By March 14 his mother, Bettersten Wade, reported him as missing while the police department knowing who he was and knowing who she was, figuratively shrugged their shoulders telling her they had no information about him. In June the police buried his body in a paupers' grave on a prison farm while his mom was still searching for him. Bettersten Wade did not find out that the police killed and buried her son until mid-August almost 7 months after the fact. The police are chalking this up to miscommunication, and Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba is defending them. The deeper one digs into this story the harrowing it gets.

A recent update to the story is that there are a number of individuals buried in that paupers grave who shouldn't have been there. They had families who have been searching and grieving. This should be a much bigger story.

Politely asking police leaders to change their operation model for the better is ridiculous. Radical change now.

In Alabama the bodies of two recently deceased prisoners have been returned to their families with major organs such as the brain and/or heart missing. Thoughts at this point lean toward giving, without consent, the organs to the medical school at the University of Alabama for lab studies and experimentation.

You also might have read about a recently discovered unmarked cemetery in Sugar Land, TX, comprised of 95 victims of the practice of Convict Leasing enacted right after the Civil War.

America's penal system is largely a replacement for chattel slavery, and to some extent a process for racists to get their ya-ya's out. My strongly held conspiracy beliefs is that a substantial swath of law enforcement are nothing but thrill killers. To wit:
Image
google the names of Chicago police officers Timothy McDermott and Jerome Finnigan for that backstory. Spoiler alert: the victim was never identified or found. Or google the distressing case of Coprez Coffie who was anally penetrated with a screwdriver by officer Scott Korhonen, who, if memory serves, is still employed by the CPD after being found guilty in court of an "unreasonable search."

The atrocities are endless.

It occurs on what I would call, in non-technical terms, busy sections of music. Sounds great on quiet and/or cleaner passages. Position on the record doesn't seem to impact when it happens.
Could it just be that you're listening to metal? Lotta distortion there especially in the busy sections.
