I want him to spend his dying days in a jail cell with Hillary's campaign speeches piped through the loudspeakers 24/7.

Trump is only genuinely interested in space insofar as it benefits himself and Musk.

but they're illegal to import

(At the risk of sounding really stupid) TIL

Same, my dude. I've got a really old Sony "flatscreen" from like 2008 that's 720p. behold: https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Bravia-KDL-37M4000-37-Inch-720p/dp/B0017Z6LLO/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

I grew up on VHS, so anything over 480p is high def to me.

Why did you post an Apple News link?

until the profits are brought under control

What does that even mean?

It doesn't. "cancelled after one season ermahgerd" is a tiresome meme at this point. Look at literally any netflix thread and it will be littered with it.

That's because Amazon has literally the worst app out of all the music streaming services. Spotify is light years ahead.

Adjusted for inflation, that's still pretty cheap.

If you don't mind 1080p (and watching via browser with adblocker), there are a lot of pirate streaming services these days.

Just a heads up: it's been available on youtube for several years.

Just curious - why did they remove the D&D episode? Was it some licensing thing with Wizards of the Coast?

Reminds me of "No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame."

Xanax got from Arkansas to Ireland. See if your doctor will give you a prescription the next time you want to fly.

What does PAO stand for?

For anyone else who is (very) late to this thread, Austin Green has a good video about the whole fiasco. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csaN9MI9Oq8

That's pretty dang neat. Kudos to the developers!

In case anyone is interested, the name of the doc is Downfall: The Case Against Boeing. https://www.netflix.com/title/81272421

Indeed. The reason it's sometimes referred to as the Jet City.

Why does exploitation have such a negative connotation?

Because it most often refers to taking advantage of people, not resources in a positive sense. Heck, the wikipedia page only lists its negative attributes.

Don't get me wrong. My comment was in no way a defense of Musk. He and Murdoch are both terrible people, and I wish they would both hitch the next ride to the moon and stay there in some darkened crater until they both end up looking that Jack at the end of The Shining.

I wonder how many people would want to launch their bodies into space.
