Chief of War is fantastic. Historical drama based on Hawai’i’s timeline during the 1800s when the west found the island. It’s a bit brutal at times (especially the first episode) and it’s a lot of subtitles but it’s so well done. Jason Momoa’s best.

The Crown is also some of the best TV and acting out there. Absolutely excellent drama based on the Elizabeth II’s years. It’s incredible. Best John Lithgow acting hands down.

Yep. His time in France specifically.

The keyboard is bugged and someone JUST caught it on slow mo changing the user input. It’s a wild bug and explains a lot because the iOS keyboard and autocorrect used to the gold standard. It was sooooo good pre-ML.

Same. You don’t realize how slow everything is on Windows until you run another OS on the same hardware. I mean, even unzipping a file is instant on Linux, while you’d be watching an animation of the unzipping speed on Windows. It’s insane the difference.

It’s not. It’s that the apps that use it have bad UIs and/or don’t support CarPlay. I haven’t found an alternative yet that was usable day to day.

I wish it were good enough to be a viable alternative but it really isn’t.

Great title for it.

Technically 1/4” jacks were first. 1/8” only to make 1/4” smaller.

It isn’t when you have an EV. I just had this conversation with my wife a few days ago. My EV is $22/mo in electricity with my commute. My old gas car was $150/mo at best. What the comic leaves out is the cost of insurance on the EV being about $150/mo and my old car was dirt cheap so it’s almost a wash. The EV is a hell of a lot more fun to drive though.

It doesn’t help that conpanies lie on their requirements in job postings. Even entry level retail jobs are asking for 2-3 years of retail experience. That’s just insulting to those with retail experience and an impossible “entry level” requirement. Leads people to just ignore any requirements.

I’ve lived through the cell phone invention, to flip phones, to smartphones. They were terrible back then and I doubt that’s changed now.

Now, I do understand the reason why you moved back to one. For me, I just got aggressive about notifications and turned off most of them. I stopped social media tied to friends and family and am selective about what I’m on and for how long. Takes more personal willpower (or whatever) but you do get used to it in the long run and feel better.

I don’t agree with the premise of this article. When hunting and gathering the default is, “oh look, berries I can eat on a bush, let’s pick them or there’s a deer nearby, let’s shoot it with my bow and arrow.”

These are just … choices. The only difference now is the amount of choice we have. It’s overwhelming so we go back to what we know to move forward. That’s just simply the human condition. Don’t think too much into this.

As a nerd I loathe that show, it’s vapid. You nailed it.

4, when I got a partially collapsed lung.

• I use it for research and then verify its findings.
• It’s excellent at summarizing quickly.
• It’s great at idea creation for specific needs and outlining it.
• While it’s good at writing I enjoy that and do it myself to keep my specific tone.

Doctor Who explores this, especially recently.

This I believe.

Easy to say from behind a keyboard oh wise one.
