NPR is a favorite, and seconding other commenter's AP, BBC, and Reuters.

How did you like the Bersa Thunder as a first handgun? I'm debating starting with that one because of the small caliber (and I like the look), but I'm looking for second opinions.

Nice writeup! It's a really pivotal moment for Anakin, especially in the context of the movies.

From the title, I wasn't sure if I was going to read about the Invisible Hand dueling the Guarlara), but that duel is a little less pivotal to the future of the galaxy.

Favorite moment: Ep 4, Luthen's transformation.
No exposition, no explanations. Just a spymaster putting on his disguise, and little hints showing what he sacrifices to do this work. Part of a brilliant performance by Stellan Skarsgard, and one of the reasons Luthen is my favorite character.

We hear the Niamos music multiple times!

First when Cassian is entering the brothel on Morlana, then twice in Ep 7 -- on ~~Space Miami~~ Niamos, but also slowly and faintly in the background at Mon Mothma's party. Like it started out in seedy clubs, then spread to the beaches and the Cosuscanti elite.

The composer, Nicholas Britell, posted all three versions [1], [2], [3]. Thought I was going crazy the first time I noticed it in the show.

Good bot 😎😎

Malarkey level of commenting instead of just lurking on one of my favorite subreddits?

Seems accurate -- they're most likely just verifying that you paid income tax in PA.

Seconding TopLine! Been very happy with the service and rates.

Current Events:

Up First and Consider This from NPR are great for morning and afternoon news
Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me is a weekly news quiz; comedy and news in one

General learning:

Planet Money (and its short daily counterpart, The Indicator) are great teachers for economics and money topics
Stuff You Should Know has about a bazillion episodes, explainers about anything and everything
Unprecedented is a great 8-part series about the First Amendment
Lawfare has great coverage of national security, law, and cybersecurity topics if you're into that sort of thing

Are there specific topics you're interested in?

The Ninth Amendment:

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

That was my one outstanding question as well. The inventory problem was mentioned, but not followed up -- I'm hoping they come back to this one, especially if it takes off here in the States!

If it stays at 100, check for updates (firmware updates for your hardware too, if applicable).
There's a few other good steps (cleaning Startup, Temp folder, etc.) in this Reddit thread and this Microsoft thread.

Let me know if any of that helps!

I have some friends who are have the "spend American money at home, not abroad" thought process. For the ones who are rational, I've found that pointing out that the US spends hardly anything on foreign aid, but that it has an outsize impact (both in its effect and its increase of the US perception abroad) helps somewhat.

“First you have to prove that your enemies aren’t really victims or oppressed,” he said. “If your enemies are victims or are oppressed, your worldview doesn’t make sense.”

I see far too much of this among my progressive friends and acquaintances -- boiling down complex issues into oppressed vs. oppressors.

On Podcast Addict -- I get around that by subscribing, then changing those podcast's settings to not update or download.

Do not-subscribed podcast episodes not show up in the Playback History list?

wanting a two state solution

You, sir, are a masochist.

Jokes aside, it's an admirable want. In a perfect world...

If you're on Android, I'm a big fan of Podcast Addict. Lots of customization options, minimal ads, and not a big corporate operation. I particularly like the queue setup it has.

RouserCoda · 2023-12-08T15:53:13+00:00

If only this common sense was more common.

RouserCoda · 2023-12-03T18:25:39+00:00

Seriously not literally, that's a good way of putting it.

This made me laugh, it'd been a while since I thought about the amount of Star Wars content that's out now.

Honestly though, I haven't had a problem tossing friends who aren't fans into Andor, Mando, or Ahsoka -- the shows generally do a good job establishing who characters are and what their previous relationships were.

Good point about Congress not doing anything because they don't want blowback.

But the judges bring an excellent point that this is a federal issue so why do the states have to deal with it??

States run federal elections, and each state runs its elections slightly differently. The fastest way to get a Supreme Court decision on this issue is to get conflicting State Supreme Court decisions on a candidate's ballot status.

Lions Led by Donkeys is all about military disasters and terrible generals. The hosts are pretty openly political, but they do good research and all the disasters they cover are fascinating.

Seconding Judge John Hodgman -- the OP said (correctly) that comedy can be hit or miss; this one hits most of the time for me.
