It wasn’t that hard. Don’t ask how I know. 5 cents a minute doesn’t seem like a lot even in 80s dollars, but…well, time flies… And it’s true, that bill only shows up once a month, by then the damage is done.

The line in the song Creep that hits the hardest is, “I want you to notice, when I’m not around”.

The stock market is not the same thing as it was at the start, different players, different motives, and lots of failsafes. That time it was a signal that things were bad, this time we could continue to get worse and you’d never know it looking at the DOW.

Or species.

I’m on the good row, depending on the store and distance back. I have on one occasion delivered a cart back to the store via my car (a good mile or so away) - it was left in our neighborhood, I was doing it for myself and neighbors, not the store, so I don’t know where that puts me. It’s the opposite of true neutral, since presumably someone poor had used it and discarded it.

When are we giving France their statue back?

Must have found some familiar names on page one. And two. And three…

That’s not what happened. He went fast enough to go back in time. The Earth rotated backwards because time was going backwards for him. And importantly, unlike so many time travel stories where the person goes to exactly when the event happens, he went back further, so he had time to stop both missiles. Cause he’s super smart.

10 percent would be huge not only the bill but in wear and tear. I doubt it’s that much, but more is always good when it’s a simple fix.

Forgot the call to dilate_pupils.exe

I was lucky, my dad had a top line Radio Shack system with full control and tape counter, so finding that perfect spot, doing fade outs, etc. was easy. The hard part was guessing when the radio DJ would stop talking and cut to the music.

I want to say I’ve watched it, but it must not have left much impression. As for the original, it was that or Star Trek, and one was preferably better lol.

“We can take props from Forbidden Planet and make a sitcom.” Just…no.

Also, fake picture, as the typical reason for this there would be mangled tape pulled out of the cassette body.

You had to hold it at a bit of an angle. Sure beat using your fingertip for an inch at a time.

instead of sinking into the depths, surface water is being replaced by deep water masses rising to the surface, bringing with them heat and carbon dioxide (CO₂) that had been trapped for centuries.

Well, that’s bad. You know what line I haven’t seen much anymore if any, maybe because it was overdone so much. “Worse than expected”

I’ve found the newest models designed for coding do a good job with an initial starting point (depending on their context and output window and the size of the code). But boy if you find a problem (and you will somewhere if it’s long) and ask them to fix it, it just mushrooms into a mess. So great for throwing together a template to use yourself, but a terrible crutch if you don’t know how to read what they handed you.

And turn the temperature down. Granted there are usually a few ways to solve a problem, but you want creativity and imagination in a chatbot or something generating prose, NOT programming.

It would be simple if it was just those two things that restricted opposition. Let me just throw in another factor that makes American politics a complex issue, and that’s the size of the country. Also…what power do you think the average American actually has? Honestly curious.

Good thing we can do more than a single thing at a time.

The original point of BLM was…one group of people shouting stop killing their own to a nation that was oblivious and/or not caring. Arguing that other people are also dying kind of misses the point and helps to hide what BLM was trying to show.

Same idea with Firefly. How the show was treated and the result was terrible, and it would have been great to have a better start and longer run to get more content. But we got what we got, and you’re not going to capture it again. The bright side is it avoided going on too long.

Battlestar Galactica could be a rare example of doing a redo well, although for nostalgic sake I’m still more a fan of the original, even though there’s less there content-wise.
