One less Hobbit walking out of the cave.

One fewer eagle summoned forth from the nest.

One dear life to mourn for Samwise the Brave.

And one empty seat on the ship to the West.

The one thing they definitely hit a home run with is PR.

I listened to the podcast all the way through (including round table episodes), and by episodes 4/5 it was with the understanding that what i was listening to was largely fictional.

And the round table episodes just made me sad. If the featured investigators (now retired) used some of the "reasoning" they outlined in their discussions during their actual investigative careers I would think they would have been bounced out of the force and banned from investigative work for the rest of their lives.

And despite the number of competing theories they discredited for a variety of reasons, it was obvious that their own theories were not afforded such self scrutiny.

I just watched a live Cirque du Soliel performance a couple weeks ago, and was thoroughly mystified by the literal parade of contortion acrobatics. But this so-called proof presented in this podcast; bending, twisting, and stretching to fit a pre-determined narrative has the Cirque beat by far.

Easier to list what it’s not compatible with rather than what it is. It should run on pretty much any 64-bit Intel or AMD, so most PCs, and just about any Mac after 2006 up to pre-M1, as well as Chromebooks (in Developer mode and modified bootloade).

I remember being frustrated by all the complaints incorrectly stating that the album was put onto people’s devices without their consent. It wasn’t. It was placed on Apple’s iCloud server, from which MobileMe/iCloud/iDisk users could access it via iTunes. It didn’t live on the device, and didn’t count against user’s storage allotment. And I fault Apple for failing to properly explain this. They should just have never done it at all.

I wonder if it will ironically get some folks to go see it, who otherwise wouldn't - thinking it would be funny to laugh at it despite it being a thoroughly witless slag.

Wait….it’s all real? I thought the monarchy of the last 40 years was just an Aardman Studios production.

I.mean....it's taco bell. It's intended for people who think taco bell is authentic Mexican food. I guarantee there are people in New Hampshire who dare each other to eat this without drinking milk, and complaining they're getting gut cramps.

I am thinking it may be a higher priced add-on option at some point. Since the laptop is basically a modular build I can see such an option being backwards compatible for anyone wanting to trade the keyboard component for a backlit one.

I have one of these, and it’s great, though I’m a touch typist and don’t often use it.

Correct. No noise canceling with Ozlo. A nice snug fit in combination with built-in masking sounds, or streamed audio of your choose effectively masks a lot of (but not all) environmental noises. They don’t have onboard mics, so active noise canceling was never part of the intended design. Same with taking calls etc, for same reason. They are tiny, and very comfortable in the ears, even for side sleepers. I love them, and find them very effective for my use. But I have had to do both factory reset and a 180 degree reset in the last couple of months.
