Personally I think radio killed the radio star by only playing the same 20 songs over and over until no one anywhere ever wants to hear it again. At least that's how the radio stations are here in Pittsburgh.

and yet, they're a product of marketing feedback. So obviously when given a choice, people preferred listening to their favorite songs rather than only getting those songs maybe once an hour amid a bunch of songs that were garbage.

it's almost like music is too personal to be catered to with 12 non-interactive channels of content. So radio killed radio because radio sucks.

You need both a personalized favorites list generated per-listener and a means of listening to music that is extrapolated from user choices. Radio can't do that and was destined to fail. Living on borrowed time until the wireless internet could be created.

As someone that listens to 'alternative' or 'indie' bands, Mick, I stopped listening to UK radio about 25 years ago. I hated the Britpop bands with a passion and still do.

If Video killed the Radio Star why wasn't it ever brought up on charges? I'll be honest, I'm beginning to doubt the honesty of The Buggles here.

I think a little historical clarity is required - it was not so much of a killing - more a bizarre gardening accident where the radio star attempted to untangle said video from the blades of an oversized electric lawn mower. I think the coroner's report concluded mis-adventure.

Kumo says their burgers are 100% people. but how do we know these drug dealing pirates are actually telling the truth?

Seems to me that it would be far cheaper to sell synth meat cooked in some human fat for flavor than to slaughter people and process their meat.

I dont think these people are on the Up and Up.

You expect the public to believe you turn a profit on your food at the prices you charge using non-vat grown protein? The logistics alone would make such a venture cost far more than ancient bovine based foods from a thousand years ago.

Only the super rich would be able to afford such food as you describe your burgers to be.

speaking of the super rich. Wouldn't it make tons of sense for the empire's ruling family to have a population of the original indigenous life on achenar in some lower level of their palace that they keep like zoo creatures? Likely the descendants of their ruling leaders ...so they can be periodically reminded that they are inferior and unworthy to live on the surface of what used to be their world?

that sounds like something the empire would be all about

Look around- look to your left, look to your right. So many useless, tasty, self replicating meat units that require very little infrastructure.

Its as if Kumo burger is natures way of keeping the balance and ensuring population stability and fitness.

you still have to capture them, store them, - a process that is complicated by the fact that they would know they need to escape...rather than be entirely unaware like farm animals.

You'd have slaughter them and process them.. a process that requires not just de-clothing but also a lot of testing... since humans not "farm grown and raised" will likely carry all kinds of diseases that you wouldn't want to cross contaminate all of the product.

that's a prohibitively expensive venture. One that is oddly out of character for a slave using, drug dealing, law breaking organization.
