Wooooooooooooh

Also, both are ambiguous with what time they’re set in: Futurama in the future, Archer likely in the 60s/70s, but both constantly referencing current events and technology.

When it comes to his wife and Barbados Slim he is.

That’s how I do YT. The good creators usually have a consistent release schedule. The really top tier ones may only release every few months, but by only browsing subs I’m sure to catch them.

I’m seeing a lot of judgement on pretending Santa exists vs being 100% truthful with your kids. I don’t think either way is a bad way, but don’t judge others if they choose to pretend Santa is real.

With that being said, I do agree that if you are going to go with the Santa story, when the kid asks if they are real you should be truthful.

I just went through this with my 9 year old. She just came up one day and asked me if Santa was real and I told her no. There were a lot of follow up questions and it made her realize the tooth fairy, Easter Bunny, etc were the same situation. She asked me why we pretended Santa was real and I explained for us it was nice to see the magic that they felt from a stranger being kind just for kindness sake.

For me personally, I think it’s a good lesson for kids to begin logically questioning their world and what they’ve been told.

I’m doing my part pumping up the numbers. I’m a Futurama sleeper

I wonder if they’re repackaged due to not meeting certain quality control thresholds, but still technically useable

Some games need huge QoL updates. I’d like to see a balance of backwards compatibility along with the ability to toggle QoL settings. Give the player a choice to play OG or with modern QoL mechanics

I remember wanting to play one of the Ultima games so badly on an old Win95 PC, but the game wasn’t fully compatible and would play at like 5x speed. I see so many people reminiscing about how great the games were back in the day and it makes me a little sad I couldn’t figure out the issue at the time.

I’d be all for a remake just so I could experience the stories.

Awesome, eXTwitter is on the cutting edge of 10 years ago.

I enjoyed the reboot, but this episode and that joke specifically was the highlight of the whole season.

The current GOP frontrunner has changed his political affiliation 5 times. Text book example of what you’re saying: changing positions for power, nothing else.

I work with a group based in India. They have a completely different culture around messaging. Things I would consider worthy of an email comes as a message from them (i.e. doesn’t need immediate attention/ escalation).

They are also very formal when initiating new messages, almost like they’re following the same social standards as if they met you in the hallway (e g. Hi, how are you? Btw, I have this thing I need to talk to you about.). Mind you, this is all the time after exchanging dozens of messages a day.

I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with it, just lends some credence to what Musk said.

If you haven’t, take some time to read 1984. It’s a fairly easy read and this thread will make a lot more sense. Also, there’s a reason it’s a timeless classic and referred to so often - Orwell hit on a lot of prevalent themes authoritarians like to use. Once you know how to identify them, it’s easy to see when someone is using something like double speak (consciously or subconsciously)

Pretty good. It has about 5 power levels for different scenarios (carpet, upholstery, curtains, etc) with the lower levels being super quiet. Even at the highest power level, I wouldn’t worry about bothering anyone by vacuuming another room.

I bought a Miele a few years ago and don’t regret it. Best vacuum I’ve ever owned. It is bagged, but in my opinion that’s better than bagless. I owned a few bagless vacuums over the years and they all have the same problem of excessive dust generation when emptying. You don’t have that problem with bags.

With 1/6th gravity, you can work and be lazy at the same time. It’s like being a voice actor!

Solving the problem once and for all!

Timesuck. The long form, research based style is a refreshing departure from a lot of the content I consume most days. Plus, each week is a different topic, so you get a good mix of history, cults, serial killers, and a little bit of everything in between.
