It’s all fiction. My assumption is those posts are to get a ton of karma as quickly as possible, then the accounts are sold for whatever purpose.

Well it does feel like a TV series alright. The sets look cheap and lots of enclosed spaces instead of the expansive and “everything is huge” feel of the movies. That’s understandable though, since this is obviously not a movie with a movie budget. That aside, the older cast are great, but I’m not impressed with the younger cast yet, as with most shows with new, young actors. The full blown exposition in the first 10 minutes was a bad sign for me, because they’re leaning on tell-don’t-show. I know they have a lot of info to get through as a background, but the films were able to do that without just narrating everything. All the more for a series that has more than double the runtime in total.

I read the Frank books but not the Brian ones, so I’m going in blind except for the info I already know from the original books. So let’s see, we’re just in the first episode. I’m looking forward to the next one and hopefully it picks up.

That’s not what people are afraid of. It’s his antivaxx stance and other extreme stuff that people are against. If only he pushed for just the sane stuff like banning/regulating additives, dyes, HFCS, etc.

You can now give someone the finger and tell them that’s the only time you have for them

Struggling to make ends meet isn’t an excuse to be a danger to other people.

I read it like that at first as well and actually have a use-case for it. I have a certification exam next week and that 24 hour rewind would be very helpful if I do terrible on the exam. lol

Interestingly, I read the full article more often now on lemmy vs back on reddit. Maybe because there aren’t a ton of comments on posts here so I don’t have context and need to just read it myself. Either way, it’s better because I get to form my own opinion instead of basing it off on other people’s comments.

Tubi is way better anyway.

The original StarCraft and Brood War. I’ve always hoped a movie would be made about the story/lore but hollywood doesn’t exactly have a good track record with turning games into movies.

Sorry, can you clarify this:

bill-paper (from buying stuff)

Do you mean the paper used for receipts? I kinda remember reading something about it but I can’t recall the exact details.

Bad decision by Wemby to force that contested 3 and airball when they were only down by 1 with more than a minute left.

Because most people switching don’t know (or care) about the fediverse and decentralization. They are regular internet users who just want to get away from the cesspool that is twitter, so they go where other people are going.

Any distro on a bootable usb drive. Instant OS, no installation needed, just plug it in.

Wasn’t able to catch the game but saw Luka’s defensive lowlights, and wow.

The post about Stephen King moving to Threads says otherwise. But to be fair, it’s Threads and not Bluesky, which people here hate more.

Lol good metaphor. Right now we’re just at the point where the ride is fullly pointed upwards and rising to the peak dropoff point that will drop in January.

Not really. I mean, sure it’s the same concept, but email has been getting semi-centralized between the big players now, with gmail and maybe icloud getting the largest chunk of users. That would be similar to letting users choose between .world or .ml to sign up with, which is against the fediverse principle to spread the load as wide as possible.

When you present the lowest common denominator internet user with hundreds of instances to choose from and requiring them to think further than clicking through a sign-up page, you lose user interest pretty quickly.

Use induction or electric stoves. They don’t have a visible fire so that might help with your worry of starting one. But remember it can still happen of course, it just helps that you’re not seeing an actual fire while cooking. Like others said, you can also use other electric cookware like an airfryer, griddle, etc. Just make it a habit to be always present and not forget that you’re cooking something and you’ll avoid most burning/fire accidents.

Yeah, that’s why the Andor series was so great. They didn’t make a Star Wars show, they made a great heist show that just so happened to transpire in the Star Wars universe.

Maybe get an adapter so you can put your eq in the middle of the cd player and receiver? At least that’s what I would do. And if it’s a hassle to keep switching stuff around, I’d get a small mixer so I can funnel multiple sources into one input on the receiver.
