Sounds like a good idea. We should try it.
- Comment on The Only Patriotic Choice for President 2 days ago:
##TL;DR:##
This unequivocal, dispiriting truth — Donald Trump is not fit to be president — should be enough for any voter who cares about the health of our country and the stability of our democracy to deny him re-election.
For this reason, regardless of any political disagreements voters might have with her, Kamala Harris is the only patriotic choice for president.
- Comment on The Only Patriotic Choice for President 2 days ago:
It isn’t about the Harris endorsement. It is about billionaire interference with the editorial board. Both the LA Times and the Washington Post had their endorsements ready for publication and in both cases their billionaire owners called in and killed them.
I don’t need to agree with everything a publication writes. In fact, I want to hear differing opinions and takes. What I want is to know that what I am reading is what the professional journalists in the building wanted me to read and not what some billionaire puppet master told them to say. I need integrity. I also respect a bad take far more than silence and cowardice in the face of adversity.

The thing with subscriptions is that one can cancel any time. I missed the Oct 7th stuff because I never read the NYT. I am about to start. If I smell bullshit, I will cancel and support a different outlet. No biggie.
Bezos messed up though because his WaPo stunt made me look at my subs with Amazon. So now I have cancelled WaPo, Audible, Kindle Unlimited, Amazon cloud storage, Prime Video ad-free, and we have just committed to purchasing significantly less from Amazon. If that works out, I will cancel Prime. The net effect is (or will be) tens of thousands of dollars less spent with Amazon per year.

I cancelled WaPo yesterday. Subscribing to NYT now.

- Comment on Microsoft CEO's pay rises 63% to $73m, despite devastating year for layoffs 3 days ago:
On the one hand, Nadella has, in my opinion, saved Microsoft. They were on a downward spiral right before he took over. On the other hand, nothing justifies a $79.1MM salary. That is grotesque.

- Comment on Gotta rizz up Beelzebub 5 days ago:
In today’s news, a growing segment of the population has doubts about the so-called “never ending torture and eternal damnation” scenario. Many believe that the armageddon is not real and is in fact only a conspiracy by the global elite to hide their vast wealth in these newly formed pools of hot magma.

- Comment on Does drinking coffee reduce the amount of nutrients absorbed from prior meals? 1 week ago:
You don’t poop out the contents of your stomach, small intestines or large intestines, where the absorption is taking place. You poop out what is in your colon, which is quite short.
Coffee will not make you poop your food before you have adequately processed it.

it’s an odd feeling to be gatekept from beer by someone who’s younger than the stretch marks & grey hairs on my body…

Amazing - Comment on The 1900s 1 week ago:
I’m Gen-X, 51, and this doesn’t sting too much…so like whatever. I do feel for Millenials and the elder Gen-Z though.
Imagine being Gen-Z out to buy some beer, you pull out your ID, the cashier barely glances at it and runs your credit card. You smugly say, “I guess you don’t really check ID since you didn’t really look at the date.” The cashier responds, “I did. I saw the nineteen.” Ooooff.

I didn’t think it was. For IT, it was a dead end job, so I couldn’t stay.
- Comment on What is the food eaten in Close Encounters during the infamous mashed potato scene? 1 week ago:
Mine was similar. It was chicken breast, cut into thin strips and sauteed with onions green pepper, and heavily seasoned with black pepper and some salt. Once browned, dump a can of cream of mushroom soup into it and let it simmer until the onions are practically melted. We used to eat it with a baguette.
- Comment on What is the food eaten in Close Encounters during the infamous mashed potato scene? 1 week ago:
Those look.like the old “bake n serve” Chicken Cordon Blue shit from back in the seventies. It is basically and eggroll made of thin sliced chicken breast meat, filled with white cheese sauce and ham. Delicious for the seventies, but disgusting if you tried it now.

My company went full time “work from home” in 2012 and we are specialists that are only brought in when everyone else has fucked up. So basically, I am on call 24/7/365.

I am 51. When I started working my job was 9-5 with a one hour lunch an unofficial 30 minute coffee break and about four unofficial ten minute smoke breaks.

- Comment on Studio Slump: Lionsgate's Last 6 Films Have All Been Box Office Busts 2 weeks ago:
Lionsgate’s “White Bird,” a sequel to the inspirational film “Wonder” that hit $315 million worldwide for Lionsgate in 2017, opened last weekend in 1,018 theaters and grossed just $1.58 million. By comparison, “Sam and Colby: The Legends of the Paranormal,” an indie film from a pair of ghost hunter YouTubers, outperformed “White Bird” last weekend with $1.77 million from only 300 Cinemark locations.
Wow.

Is there a nice FOSS utility to do that? I need to do a backup of my GOG library.
