my dad knows what yuri is because at a museum he used to work at he was trying to organize some event about Yuri Gagarin and im still not over the mental image of my 50 year old father sitting down at his computer at work and googling "yuri images" fully expecting to see black and white photos of the russian cosmonaut and just seeing anime girls kissing instead
Rockbox, uh, rocks.
My Archos (Recorder) device is still going strong because of it.
I don't actually use it much nowadays, but I keep it updated.
When the world goes to shit and takes the Internet with it, I'll still have tunes, at least for a few hours.
The latest OS updates for Windows 11 introduces two major bugs that caused issues with shutting down your PC or signing into your PC using Remote Desktop.
To be honest, I haven't done a full shutdown of my PC (Win 10) in likely over a year and a half, so I never would have noticed this, even if I were running 11.
They had to immediately make that call.
Anyone with even an ounce of brain matter sees the true story, but the Trump camp needed to quickly twist the facts to keep the MAGAts on their side and slathering at the mouth.
This murder is 1000x worse, but the narrative is exactly the same as the 'immigrants are eating people's pets' bullshit.
All 100% untrue, but the Trump people will continue to lie, double-down and shout their version of the story at every possible moment to drown out the real truth. Which is, they are full of shit, and they know they are full of shit, but they can't risk showing even the slightest crack in their hold on power, as warped as it is.
I've always wanted to talk about how weird it was scrolling through reddit and then suddenly seeing myself on the front page. I was banned from reddit for talking about politics (I am anti trump) on the air force reddit so I wasn't even able to comment on a post about me. ...
Especially an airport.
People just have zero class traveling on airplanes these days. If that's your best attempt at looking respectable, then you failed.
And don't claim comfort. There are many ways of looking decent and comfortable at the same time.

My wife and I are both introverted. (and I have some social anxiety in certain situations)
We met on a dating site called "OurTime". I can't speak for it now, as that was 15 years ago, but it's a site geared towards people 45 years and up, who don't want to deal with the bullshit of other dating sites.
(neither of us were 45 at the time, but that didn't seem to matter)
We have similar interests and that made it easy to start conversations. We talked back and forth for a week or two, and then started voice calls for about a week before actually going on a date.
We didn't rush things along and just took things as they came, and got married about three years later.
I had to get a recumbent due to pain issues with a regular upright bicycle seat. I've owned a couple of them over the past 20 years or so, and they're great.
To be brutally honest, I'm sure there is a lab somewhere cooking up a new virus that will be even harder to fight off.
Once the CDC guardrails are completely gone, said virus is 'accidentally' released, killing off countless people who are unable to defend against it.
"We get rid of the sick, old, poor, infirm, or anyone else we don't want hanging around, that means more money for us!"
I finally had a chance to see this in the theater.
Wow.
I've read the book quite literally countless times, so I was fully aware of what to expect.
Some of the characters didn't fit my mind view at all, Hank Olson for one, and the characters weren't nearly as fleshed out as in the book, but that is to be expected.
With what they had to work with, I think it was all done very well.
!It was the whole twist with McVries and an expansion of his background that really worked for me. Usually I don't like it when a movie makes radical changes from the book, but I really liked this ending. The Major shooting Garraty coupled with McVries changing his wish due to the pain he felt in that moment was huge. Absolutely brilliant.!<
Scramm was folded into other characters, with Stebbins getting his bad cold and Olson getting his wife, which the core group promises to care for if any of them win.
Scramm getting pneumonia was drawn out for quite a while in the book, but Stebbins having the cold was barely a single sentence in the movie dialog.
There were other instances where character traits in the book were melded into different characters in the movie, but that was to be expected. There's only so much you can do in a 90 minute movie.
Why do the walkers sign up for it? Some weird national pride. With the screwed up direction the country has taken in the story, entering the lottery for the possibility of representing your state in the walk is an honor of sorts.
!Is McVries dead? Yes, but not by the hands of the soldiers.
With him killing The Major, he might be viewed as a trigger that starts an uprising in the country, and if he is killed, he dies as a martyr to the cause.
I do think that he would soon likely commit suicide due to PTSD and extreme survivor's guilt!<.
So there's these Amazon return stores everywhere that look like permanent flea markets. Walking around I saw this little guy for 5$, an external Bluray writer. Not bad, not bad. The QR code just links to a short manual. ...
With cookies like these, you can't just go right for the center. You have to nibble around the edges a bit and work your way in slowly. Always good to have another cookie in your hand while working on the first. Then trade off... A little taste from this one, a little from the other.
Does anyone know?
