No I was thinking more like a web front end for command line media player programs, mplayer or whatever. There must be such scripts available.

I'd just run a web server on it and operate it from a phone.

Around here, Target (department store chain) will let you order stuff through their app and pick it up in the store parking lot. If you order through the web you have to wait around inside the store to get it. I still won't install the app but this issue annoys me.

I don't really care about it that much. I can usually see enough of the NYT article to tell whether it's interesting, and then use a paywall bypass if i want to read it. Or in this case I just did a web search and found the Boston Globe article.

Yeah the gift link doesn't work for me. it gives the first few paragraphs of the article and stops. I didn't feel like diagnosing it and in this case the headline was clickbait, so i went and pasted the spoiler from a web search.

Just how storms contribute to people's deaths after the immediate impact is something that needs further study, Hsiang said.

When you can speak and think in the new language without translating to your native language in your head, maybe? That can actually happen pretty fast. You don't have to become anywhere near fluent.

Such people are sometimes called Grenzemensch (border person). They grow up speaking multiple languages and don't even realize til they're older that the languages are different. They just think you have to talk to Uncle Fritz one way and Grandma Mireille a different way.
