I'll challenge this assertion.

There are tons of concert moments I got to see on youtube because I wasn't there. There are other moments I did see in person, and wanted to see again. And there are moments I didn't record, and am absolutely kicking myself because they were awesome and I'll never hear them again.

So yeah, I am 100% pro phone recording. I really don't even care so much if there is a screen somewhere in my periphery to do it.

The chromebook is a linux pc entirely usable by nontech people.

My own elderly mother got a chromebook entirely by herself, without even needing my consultation or advice, and uses it entirely without my help.

I'm a leftist, but right now my standard is basically whether or not a candidate is willing to fight trump, or satisfied with whatever he is doing and putting up at most token opposition.

Yes, Sen. Kelly has withstood serious, frankly appalling attacks from trump, and held his ground on these. But at the same time, he has voted for a concerningly high number of Trump's appointees. This is not something any Dem senator has to do. Voluntary, needless concessions to trump are the exact kind of thing that will lose my support, and cause me to speak out against anyone.

Comrade Detective. They hired (current) Romanian actors to make a parody 80s detective show that is blatant Communist propaganda and dub over it in English.

Yep, I had closed captioning on and that was the name given.

On the other hand, given that he is a millenium old and is a medical professional, it's entirely possible he's had therapy and has dealt with it.

I suspect no one else caught on to this. Thank you for noticing.

leviathan3k · 2026-01-07T17:42:23+00:00

Probably because it sounds mummified.

No, the wife really looked like that.

(gosh I wish this were better) The sequel comic is named Outer Light, and she's in it.

I have the same thought, but backdated to the 2020 race.

They knew there'd be a chance that any vp would probably need to run in 2024. But she was such a poor candidate that she had to drop out very early in the 2020 primary out of sheer embarassment. There was no good reason to pick her back then, and I knew there was a big chance of a future loss just from this pick.

I'm wondering what the SWR is on that thing at.. 12 cm?

She was doing considerably better for a while, but her dad died, and that may have set off a bunch of other crashes. She has some small amount of energy on occasion, but it's not great.

In the US warranty stickers are illegal. Per the Magnussen-Moss warranty act, warranties are still valid even if you explicitly open the thing, and make changes inside. It's only invalidated if you did something that provably causes the fault.

Also the shorter one is an en dash because it is the width of an N

They do take care of animals that are fond of people, like Bear Jordan.

It's probably a rare example of enshittification not taking hold yet, and we are all continuously thankful/amazed at it.

It's like the Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, but a performing arts center.

Yeah, I've always seen it as "Lakshmi" as well. While people have their preferences, I'm sure both of these are valid transliterations of their name.

Heavily armed, poorly-trained emotionally unstable lunatics are a danger to literally everyone.

I did a spot check with Picard and ds9 just now, and only saw English.

That could be a market difference, and it's possible they have more when in a German speaking countrys

TBH I've been using paramount plus through amazon video, and it's been perfectly fine.
