You could say the same about Hannibal Lector, but I wouldn’t eat him. I do eat pork, though.

Make sure you get the original version of Ghost in the Shell. I recently decided to rewatch and could only find my 2008 remaster DVD, where they replaced some scenes with CGI. It was absolute trash, and my DVD didn’t seem to have the unaltered version available.

Gattaca and Children of Men are still my top two. Absolute masterpieces that should be seen by everyone.

Something I realized while reading this is that I can’t think of any quotes from it. Besides “Bazinga”, but that was designed to be intentionally annoying and then was used to mock the show.

I can think of references to basically every other sitcom I’ve seen, and I can vaguely remember some scenes from BBT, but nothing quotable. My spouse liked it, so I’ve seen every episode at least once, but it was honestly pretty forgettable.

My verdict was originally “not bad”. But maybe being forgettable was it’s best quality.

I promised a number of hours under any sane estimate and delivered four days over the estimate. Success.

That was the part that made me laugh.

“You’re free to join the conversation”

“Am I?”

In my opinion this is the biggest shortcoming of the ActivityHub ecosystem. That’s not to say it should have been solved by now, since I don’t know how to decentralize authentication safely. And after using it for a while I’m not sure I want a single account.

But it is a challenge facing newcomers and those trying to recruit them. This group of services is already tough to explain sometimes, and telling them it all interconnects just muddies the waters when you have to explain that it’s not the way they expect.

That was going to be my guess, but I didn’t want to look dumb if I was wrong.

Basically, yeah. I didn’t plan for it to be a metaphor for capitalism / climate change, but it ended up there.

I’m writing one about a world where the bones of the dead can be compressed into blocks of fuel, powering an industrial revolution. However, burning the compressed bones releases the ghosts of those within as amalgamations that kill anyone on the streets after dark. Obviously there was a push to stop using it once the danger was discovered, but factories and rich folk didn’t want to give up cheap fuel, so everyone’s stuck with the killer smog whether they personally stop or not.

The story itself is about a detective trying to figure out how a robbery occurred in the middle of the night.

Tofu has been ridiculously cheap here lately, but I’m in the soybean/corn belt. It’s been pretty great, honestly. “Real” proteins are a minimum of $6 per pound for the worst cuts, so getting tofu for roughly $1 per pound has been incredible. I just wish my spouse liked it as much as me and my kid do.

You should do it more, not less.

Are you masturbating at all? I can imagine being so horny that a porn subscription seems tempting, but masturbating would clear that up. It seems like you’ve skipped several levels and gone straight to the most expensive masturbation enhancement.

I just saw an article saying Gabe Newell of Valve is obsessed with scuba diving. Must be something in the water.

Hobo code was my first thought too, but doesn’t seem to match any.

I can’t help with the extensions, but I will say Outlook is the hungriest tab on my machine. 850MB on startup with no extensions. So only about half of what you’re seeing, but still way more than anything else I open.

I commend your tab hoarding. I just want to know how much RAM you have to support that. I have 32 GB, Firefox won’t load them until I click on them, and it still struggles at 100 tabs.

Love that song

“A Thai Wedding” by Imade Saputra. My kid loves it too. Not as easy to sing along with as you’d think.
