Greedo didn’t shoot at all
- Comment on Original 'Star Wars' Cut Will Be Shown at a Theater for First Time in Decades 6 days ago:
Return of The Jedi takes place 4 years after the end of A New Hope, but I agree with your overall point.
- Comment on What’s your favorite “flop” of all time? 3 weeks ago:
Shocked nobody mentioned The Shawshank Redemption yet. Box office flop, they had to re-release it back to theaters after it got nominated for 7 Oscars and it only really took off with home video.

A whole generation of kids missed out on learning movie theater etiquette
- Comment on An extremely biased review of The Beekeeper (2024) 1 month ago:
I liked this movie a lot. Yeah, it’s kinda silly in its concept, but the execution of it was deeply satisfying.
- Comment on Google is replacing Google Assistant with Gemini | TechCrunch 1 month ago:
I just tried those questions with Gemini on my phone. It got them all right. For the directions one it gave me a Google Maps link with the route dialed in in public transit mode

Woz is one of the first people who would tell you not to buy apple. He loves to tinker

I’m gonna be that guy:
inciteful
insightful is the right word here. As in “full of insight”.
Incite is pronounced the same but it refers to instigating or provoking, e.g. “incite a riot”, so something that’s insightful could also be inciteful if you’re inferring something embarrassing about someone to try to start a fight

Ladybird and Servo are both in Alpha, but worth keeping an eye on.

I quite agree, but it doesn’t reduce the irony even an iota

Dude is so thick that he used an example of a time when he was a minority within his department and discriminated against as a way to argue that businesses should be allowed to discriminate against minorities.
Like bro. Do you not understand that this scenario is insanely more common for racial and ethnic minorities to encounter in our society at large and that’s why we have DEI programs to begin with?

Doubly so now that students are beginning to authentically write like ChatGPT since they spend so much time chatting it up.
- Comment on Quentin Tarantino in ‘No Hurry’ to Direct Final Movie 2 months ago:
Honestly, and I say this as a fan of the majority of his films, it can wait.
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood literally bored me to sleep both times I tried to watch it in one sitting with no distractions. Hateful Eight was long but at least it was engaging the whole time because of the powderkeg situation. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, even though it was obvious they were leading up to the Manson family stuff, it just didn’t have any underlying tension to sustain it, so with its 2 hour 41 minute runtime it just dragged and felt self-indulgent compared to his other works.
- Comment on Tech Execs Plead for Great Firewall of America to Protect Them Against Scary Chinese AI 2 months ago:
Well yeah, but the US authoritarian are right wing instead of left wing in their justifications of absurdly state violence. They’ve been extremely prominent since at least the whole “freedom fries” era.
- Comment on Spreading my curse 3 months ago:
ChatGPT couldn’t find the original punchline but Gemini is claiming it’s the following:
“Because they have big balls!”
Anyways even if that’s made up, it’s way funnier than ChatGPT’s made up punchlines, and about par for a Laffy Taffy joke.

That’s on the low side of “Normal weight” per the BMI chart.
I’m 33, 5’7" and 175 lbs. Technically overweight, but I still look fine. It really really depends on your build.
Anyway I’d take that screencap as proof of verbal/emotional abuse.

Trent Reznor is doing the soundtrack, so it’s gonna sound awesome at least

You think the social media propaganda machines all grinding into gear to pump out pro-trump propaganda isn’t going to help his popularity?
I envy your positivity
- Comment on The cost of college in USA makes no sense anymore 3 months ago:
I would say that in most cases a person’s commitment to continuous education is more important than what they went to school a decade+ ago. There have been plenty of SWEs that I’ve run into with relevant degrees that never bothered to study since getting their degree and most of them were mediocre at best.
- Comment on The cost of college in USA makes no sense anymore 3 months ago:
Meanwhile I’ve been a professional software engineer for 9 years now with no college degree.
In tech, it pretty much is a scam, or at best a classist gatekeeping requirement that anybody interested in getting real work done will ignore or handwave away. At least till you get up to the level of having “publish x number of papers per year” as part of the job requirements.

- Comment on Should you bother with... mini PCs? 4 months ago:
I use one as a Jellyfin server and to stream my main gaming PC to my home theater setup via Moonlight. Works great and since it’s all wired LAN the latency added is under 10ms end to end
