  Thanks, TheDude! Hope all goes well and you’re able to relax and enjoy your Friday night!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So it begins...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Bring me the priest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the better game...The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time or Final Fantasy VII?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Zelda.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I still frequent quite a few fora, though they’re not as active as they used to be, but still offer great discourse on numerous topics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What I'm playing next (7/28/2024)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Best Zelda game!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Winamp has announced that it is opening up its source code to enable collaborative development of its legendary player for Windows⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Still whipping the llama’s ass all these years later! So glad this one never died. Way too much time getting all my music tags right so everything would be formatted correctly in Winamp when I was young.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨land shrimp⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Uh…. No.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ted Cruz pushes bill seeking police escorts for US lawmakers at airports⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe if Ted wasn’t a complete douchebag he wouldn’t be heckled in airports for being a complete douchebag.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shatner's "do over" of the Veridian III death scene on Kimmel⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  He looks damn good and mentally sharp for 93. We should all be so fortunate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you un-smart a smart tv?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If it’s not connected to the internet, it can’t update or retrieve those changes. So no, it would not be impacted until the next time it was connected. I’ve never had a smart TV that required a persistent connection to work at all, and I wouldn’t ever buy one that did.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you tell the difference between dream and reality?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Read something. You won’t be able to get more than a few words in a dream. Doesn’t matter what it is: billboard, menu, homework, whatever. It’s one of the easier ways to tell if you’re dreaming.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LG says its new 4K projector is a ‘stylish art object’⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Saw the ads for this one and then saw it’s only 500 lumens. Hope you like watching your crazy expensive projector in a perfectly dark room where no one else will see its “style”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Electric School Buses More Than Doubled In USA From March 2022 To June 2023⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Agree. I imagine that as these fleets grow you’ll see more of those figures. In my experience, the 10k service on my EV was just a tire rotation. $20. I certainly spent more than that in oil changes alone with my ICE in the first 10k miles. I imagine it will be the same for buses.

  The downside is the significantly higher up front cost, but you make up for it in reduced fuel and maintenance costs, as well as a longer service life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Electric School Buses More Than Doubled In USA From March 2022 To June 2023⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Love to see it. All these large vehicles that stop and go in urban areas are prime candidates for electrification. Hope to see (at least) one in person around here in the next few years!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cable lobby and Republicans fight proposed ban on early termination fees / Customers should be allowed to cancel cable TV without penalty, Democrats say⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish they’ve finally just nationalize the entire infrastructure and then sell access to the ISPs like they did with British Telecom in the UK. Cable companies are scum and they shouldn’t be getting any further support or federal funding after the shit they’ve pulled.

  I didn’t need a new phone line when I wanted to change one distance plans 40 years ago. Why is Internet service any different? Mandate a line/conduit to each house and be done with it. See how they like it when they actually have to compete.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GM Says It's Ditching Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for Your Safety⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Good thing I’m ditching ever considering them for a vehicle purchase for my own sanity. Fucking OEM infotainment systems are bullshit and I will never buy a car ever again that doesn’t support CarPlay and Android Auto.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HP exec says quiet part out loud when it comes to locking in print customers⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fuck HP. Everything they sell is low quality trash, from printers to laptops to servers.

  Friends don’t let friends buy HP.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Feds subpoena Ticketmaster over egregious concert ticket prices — A spokesperson for Live Nation, which owns Ticketmaster, said the firm doesn't “feel comfortable” sharing information with Congress⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I bet they probably also wonder why suddenly attendance has dropped off, too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Feds subpoena Ticketmaster over egregious concert ticket prices — A spokesperson for Live Nation, which owns Ticketmaster, said the firm doesn't “feel comfortable” sharing information with Congress⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thankfully, subpoenas don’t care about how comfortable your are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If civilization continues to the year 9999, is the idea to go to year 10.000, or...?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Good luck to all the engineers billions of years from now having fun moving to 128-bit time. What fools we were.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft CEO Nadella's compensation drops... to $48M — CEO to employee pay ratio hits 250 to 1⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Not harder, but it’s also a matter of knowledge. You couldn’t take any person off the street and have them be a successful CEO tomorrow. Same with other specialized roles, like medical roles, some IT areas, rocketry, etc.

  That said, pay and benefits disparity is a real thing and I’d love to see it addressed. But what is reasonable to me may not be to others.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[I just watched] Spider-Man - Across the Spider-Verse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I suspect the second will feel improved when the third comes out to finish the conclusion. It’s hard to end a movie on a cliffhanger like that.

  I do agree with you, though. I like the first one better and it does feel like a tighter story. Also an amazing opening sequence that just pulls you right into the world (and is a great home audio test).

  But I have no doubt that when I see the third film I’ll likely appreciate the second more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Raspberry Pi 5 comes with PCIe 2.0 x1 interface and power button⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Looking forward to finding one in a store right around the time the RPi 6 is released.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Fiber Blog: Introducing GFiber Labs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Hooray, another buzz filled lab announcement with vague products that I’ll never see access to and will all be cancelled within the next two years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Uber: EU rules will see us pull out of “hundreds” of European cities — Brussels’ proposal to classify gig workers as de facto employees could slam the breaks on operations across the bloc⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Well… bye.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Marvel Studios' The Marvels | Official Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks looks a fun popcorn movie. Still haven’t watched the Ms Marvel series, though. Wonder if the backstory will be that important.

  The worst part about that trailer, in my opinion, was the massacre of the Beastie Boys for that crappy remix. (Side note: didn’t MCA forbid use of Beastie Boys music in ads in his will when he passed?)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AMC Theatres Drops Variable Pricing Plan That Charged More for Better Seats⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t believe their cunning plan to make an expensive outing even more expensive under the guise of “but you get the good seats!” didn’t work out.
