Don’t sweat it, still a cool little thing.

Interesting it’s as specialized as it is but many dams pump water up the reservoir during low consumption times to store for periods where power is needed.

There was a BBC Connections episode that showed eager power distribution people watching a famous English show.

And many people and organizations rightfully protested the Iraq invasion. The French refusing to get into that part of the mess is how some idiots come up with the “freedom fries”.

I remember vividly thinking the US going all out into Afghanistan in retaliation was probably exactly what the terrorists wanted. I’m certain this applies to the current situation as well. Hamas is hoping to provoke Israel into going full throttle against and into Gaza with the intention of triggering a wider Jihad.

HBO kind of canceled itself. What is it called now? Just “Max” or something ridiculous.

Also fixed a weird bug I had where YouTube wouldn’t load on my laptop but it worked fine on my PC.
