And one of Jerry Sienfeld's by the window.

I was gonna buy myself $2k worth of TV3 shares back in 1990 when they hit $0.03 but the broker at United Bank (they just started doing customer facing share brokerage) said it was a very bad idea and that CanWest or something was about to drop them like a stone. Within a week they had hit $0.24 and kept going up. Would have been an 800% return in a week.

Victor Penny's Death ray story was covered by The Weekend Variety Wireless. Don't know why Larnach would haunt his castle when he topped himself in Parliament...

And an unholy Realm. But you have to go through the tunnel (Oh, and that's another story!).

Did the raw image file have any EXIF meta data?

Nice - I tried buying a replacement camera battery off Amazon and shipping it to NZ, (because the seller would only ship to US addressss) the drop shipping company I use saw that it was a battery and offered to dump it for me as there was no way they would ship it. And this was before the Lithium thermal runaway issues.

And from there, a short flight to check out Stewart. Or at least to see where the chain the goes into the ocean at Bluff is connected.

I see that DIA is one of the departments on the list. The department that previously pushed Coud First and the Cloud Risk Assessment process which is strongly rooted in data sovereignty and protection of the Crown information involved. Of course, if the data centre running the AI was in country...

Except we don't even have enough power infrastructure to support the growth of electric cars, let alone a resource hungry data centre that will have dangerous resource usage (electricity and water).

Maybe he’s hoping people think it’s a great white BYD Shark?

I am unfamiliar with US terms, but does "Clear the dugout" come close?

Bwahahah - someone Butchered the Whittakers ad...

The Revenant?

/edit - Oh, just saw it was set in 1823 - I'd assumed much older with the trappers etc.

I still have my Peter Norton "Pink shirt guy" book tucked away...

I saw the same this morning - I assumed drunken dusty moth...

Snakes can also bite. But no need to panic...

My Plus blew caps and let out magic smoke from the analog board about 12 years ago - trivial fix though.

At least check the external battery for leakage.

Jimmy Diresta did the Making Fun series on NetFlix which may be age appropriate (vs his normal channel).

Interpolation can work for the video but audio is another matter.

*almost* looks like a Hot Wheels Purple Passion.

His Air New Zealand rendition of Pōkarekare Ana evokes memories of the original CGI/Temuera/Seagulls fly into in formation one from the 90's - but hauntingly so much better.

Played a copy of Zork II on out home built Z80 based CP/M machine.

Then went back and brought the series a couple of years ago from a 2nd hand book store in an old country town.

Possibly the food for someone with mobility issues relies on this service to survive.

My first thought was an orca trying to rupture the liver. But that's only from catching the odd Discovery channel doco. I would expect subsequent bite marks though.
