- Comment on Do you ever simply not understand a piece of text no matter how many times you read it despite the fact that you understand the language and individual words? 1 day ago:
Shakespeare, or really any writing from that era takes me many read throughs to understand it.

A what?
- Comment on Will pilots-less airplanes happens first, or driver-less cars? Why? 3 weeks ago:
Airplanes, though I suspect they will never be truly without someone to assist in case of emergency.
Cars have to contend with a number of random obstacles and unique challenges. Planes have defined runways and taxiways and, via autopilot and GPS, their flight paths are relatively easily defined and controlled.
The sky over one city is pretty much like any other. Main Street not so much.
- Comment on Happy New Year! Thought I'd share my new year's resolution to the people here 3 weeks ago:
Honestly a decent 1080p presentation is still more than adequate for the vast majority of content consumed at most homes. Otherwise completely agree.
- Comment on what works for you to let go? 3 weeks ago:
This might sound odd, but start listening to metal music.
A lot of the lyrics in these songs are aggressive and downright violent (especially if you start listening to death metal and black metal), and for me, it helps to release my emotion.
For example, many people think “I want to punch that person right in their dumb face”. Listening to a song that talks about doing it, and mentally visualizing it, is very cathartic. I don’t really know how to explain it, but just letting go to the music and having it take all your rage and frustration helped me a lot going through similar situations.
- Comment on Which were the worst movies of 2024? 5 weeks ago:
I’d agree with you. The actors, singing, set design, choreography, are all amazing. The story is just uninspiring and I think it’s reflected in the performances outside the musical bits.
- Comment on Which were the worst movies of 2024? 5 weeks ago:
Hot take, but Wicked. It’s an average movie with a huge marketing budget preying on nostalgia for a much better film.
Like, it wasn’t bad, but it certainly was my biggest letdown of the year.
Also — movie starts, title card… “Part 1”? Fuck right off, Disney.

I walked away to do something else for 30 minutes in the middle and I don’t think I missed anything. It was very much like a Hallmark movie. Doesn’t help that Dakota Johnson can’t act her way out of a paper bag, and the rest of the cast just phoned it in.

Somebody deepfake and broadcast this for the next State of the Union. Please.

I like it. Dolph and Frank better get a cameo, too.

Yeah, that’s gonna be a ‘no’ from me, dog.

His videos have some good points but damn I hate his aloof presentation style.

Why do you want to know? I didn’t do anything!

File for an extension? That would at least buy you some time, and as far as I’m aware, it’s free to do so. I’ve never done it, though, so I’m not sure if there are other implications.

Dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge, dude.

It’s a nice chord, but it annoys me irrationally that you have an octave between C and E on the staff but not on the keyboard below it.

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

I thought it was a student art film project at first.

Looks fun. Loved seeing Taggart and Rosewood again. I’m sure there will be lots of fun throwbacks too. Exciting!
- Comment on Entertainment Sector Unites to Oppose European Law That Would Ban Geo-Blocking 1 year ago:
If entertainment companies are against it, then it likely is a good and effective law in favor of the people.
- 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 [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 MS to update Windows every 3 years 1 year ago:
Surely you’re all running with the same security policy, agents, and account permission constraints (e.g. no local admin) as all your Windows counterparts so you have a true comparison?
And you can get a “real” terminal on Windows right now.
- 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?)
