Definitely able to pay for Warner Bros Discovery.

Forgot the goat-triggered Delay of Skiing.

My partner and I have tried to explain this to our child. They just don’t get it. I even got them the Carmen San Diego handheld game… But without a physical book, it doesn’t feel the same anyway.

But we’ve made them listen to Rockapella. They make us listen to their music, we expand their horizons!

I have entirely too many domains at namesilo.com. Privacy is included for free in the majority of circumstances – not for .org. .com renewals for me are down to $8.85 year because of the aforemented “too many.” I also have some .social and other newer TLDs and those are stupidly expensive.

I use nothing else from namesilo. For domains I use I don’t even use their nameservers. But for what I need, their UI is sometimes awful, but it does what I need.

Google.com and YouTube.com and goo.gl. OneDrive.com and office.com and PowerPoint.com. It’s because as every company’s footprint expands they’ve proliferated domains and they’re not all subdomains of the obvious ones.

I wonder if it also overall lowers their costs, as they no longer have to pay for hundreds of .com registrations.

It’s so that you can approve .Google and only .Google .

“Well actually…” I understand that some of the large companies are leveraging it to ease filtering for customers. No one wants to block all .com, but you can opt to unblock/block all of .microsoft or .google, that would be useful.

Third or fourth hand information, so I don’t know how far along any of these companies in implementing, but… It kinda feels like they’re trying to build a centralized version a la CompuServe or Prodigy or even AOL over the internet that a company can choose to connect to.

Thank you for the great explanation! I felt I had to come back to thank you after I tried to upvote your reply twice. I’m going to look into this more – and then look at how far out on the lake I can get signal. Thank you!

I’m a complete newbie to LoRa/Meshtastic things, so please forgive the honest question: what do you use this for? I see it has some sensors out of the box, but… What are you doing with it?

Oh, I know. I’m not a little kid but I probably shouldn’t put them in my mouth. Honestly, I’d be more worried about my dog.

I like seeing other people’s recommendations for books I need to get!

My mom’s cookbook of choice was “The Joy of Cooking,” so that’s what I bought when I moved across the country. It has explanations of how and why it makes decisions, and mistakes one might make.

Switch cartridges also taste terrible, so simultaneously you need to put them somewhere to be sure you don’t lose them while switching cases AND you don’t want to make the mistake of finding out the hard way because you needed your hands free.

There’s a blu-ray decoder extended license.

Stop! You’re scaring me!

He’s still sore about the XFL, isn’t he.

My spouse once told me that she hadn’t been allowed to play Risk because it was a boy’s game. Apparently as a child she had been sent “back to the kitchen” to help with “women’s chores” while the menfolk played strategy board games.

I didn’t shed a tear when her dad passed. And neither did she.

He learned what he was good at… And what he enjoyed.

Kevin is a shop lifter after he panics with the tooth brush. Since he learned never to trust cops, he assumes he’d get thrown in jail like the hardened criminal he is… And then there’s the cop who’s trying to break into his house. Yeah, can’t blame him for not making that call.

My understanding is that the most basic of funerals and associated trappings is in excess of $10k (and that was prior to the current inflationary economic situation). Final healthcare expenses are likely also a few thousand dollars - and yes, the family likely has to pay it. So the amount of unexpected expenses is probably $25k to begin with… It starts seeming less excessive, to me at least.

I - and since regretting it - rewatched the early MCU movies recently. The first time you really see Thanos mirrors the first frame, and the line immediately before he turns and smiles talks about how to invade Earth is “to court death.” Given the comic book version, I’m not sure they had the whole 50% motivation thought through yet.

I’m not sure they’ve thought it through yet, although I do like the argument elsewhere in the thread that Thanos did it to prove he was right, not to save the universe.
