Nah, more like great promo material for the camera that survived the whole mess mostly intact.

Too bad they dropped the ball by not having the decryption keys for the actual video on the card.

Spin is bullshit’s little brother. It’s mostly the truth, but viewed from an angle that favors a specific point.

“Bullshit” still works wonders.

In the later books, the alternative FTL is wild too. The acceleration is so brutal that on every jump, you will be smashed to a pulp and then spend days being put back together.

“Cult with a budget”

Mods there must be so afraid to get their subs nuked by Reddit corp, they ban basic, undisputed historical facts.

Bill Burr shot only.

And speaking of Burr, I’m happy to hear he doesn’t sell out to the MAGA bastards and will call out their bullshit.

Why did I stop at only 4 shirts?!

I knew something was wrong but to be so close to greatness and fail…

Yes but how much damage will they make while they do?

Ebooks are awesome.

It also seems low for crossing mountains.

Good old “divide and conquer”.

Right-wing 101: “we need to destroy social safety net X because the immigrants/criminals/lazy/fraudsters are smooching it from hard-working, honest citizens!”

Translation: we need to take services away from the working class so gazillionaires can have an extra tax break and buy a bigger yacht to put their current yacht on.

And with this heat? No thank you.

The current tech-related usage was coined at MIT to mean working on a system. Funny that the oldest recorded source comes from MIT model railroad team.

That sounds like it would be a pretty simple program […] but I don’t know anything about programming

As a programmer, that phrase tends to raise my blood pressure. But it depends on how they structure their data but since all the elements are already related, it should be easy to query them all together. I bet they’ve abandoned it more because the query UI is a bit dense for most. But nothing that could be replaced with a simple textbox that could take any combination of cast/crew/titles and find anything that matches the combination. But they might need to add some specific indexing that would use up additional resources.

IMDB used to have an amazing cross-search. You could put any combination of actor, crew, movie/show title and it would bring out common movies/shows.

Some people are built differently.

I have no impulsion to gamble either. But one of my family members? So much money burned at casinos.

And some home cinema receivers do offer this option. Often labeled something like “night listening mode”.

I’ve found upgrading my front center speaker has greatly improved dialogue. I had my speakers from a home cinema kit and the center front was a puny crappy speaker.

During hot summers, windows are partially open (AC not common in European homes). For a couple of years, there was this one gull who took the surrounding rooftops as its place to be. It would perch on a corner and just yell it’s damn lungs off randomly at all times of the day.

I also saw one gull trying to fuck up a crane (the bird) today. And another summer, one gull tried to eat a baby duckling. Duck momma went nuclear and smacked that gull into giving up.
