Sometimes you need a hard copy

So you’re saying, when Trump says “most people” he means "me " but has to make it sound like he’s not alone in any thinking ?

I’m just sad that the middle earth movies didn’t include Tom Bombadil. Yeah, it would have severely interrupted the movie flow but that’s kinda Tom’s whole deal.

The Hearts in Atlantis movie is wholly different from the book and I really can’t get myself to enjoy the movie even when trying not to compare because the underpinning plot drivers were removed. It would be like doing King’s Insomnia as a movie and not including the little doctors.

It’s complicated and a difficult tightrope to walk for people who enjoy both book and movie stories

And I wish that was the worst.

Just last week, we had a call about missing emails to an accounts payable account.

Emails weren’t missing. They needed to scroll down in outlook to the shared mailbox folder.

There were 1400+ unread emails.

They hadn’t noticed for a month.

MSP== managed service provider. Aka we’re the it team for multiple small businesses.

Many of our clients have stuff that was out of warranty in the 1900s.

Did you know there was a 32bit version of Windows 10? Cause I didn’t until one clients win xp machine finally died and the program they use can’t run on 64bit os’s. Lucky for the client that the guy who wrote the program was still willing to do some contract work to get us the installer and instructions. He’d been retired for about twenty years.

I never go into a movie expecting them to stay close to the book. To paraphrase Douglas Adams, each medium has it’s own way to tell a story and you can’t compare them equally

Like Tolkien, his writing style isn’t for everyone. Some are drawn in by the madness and cosmic horror realized, others can’t penetrate the veil and tune out. Then again, that’s what’s great about fiction and story telling. Finding what works best for you.

Honestly, there are very few adaptations that aren’t cheesy or completely removed from the source material in somewhat major ways.

Take the Shining. Great film. Great book. The two should not be compared as if they were the same story.

Dreamcatcher on the other hand, no notes. Perfect in both versions. Especially the fact that the movie kept the shit weasels in.

I work for a small/med business MSP. You have no idea

For some comparison, wife and I went to a Tuesday noonish showing of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and there were more than 8 people. So, at a time slot that would be totally understandable to have 1-2 people at a showing, there were way more than for this waste of digital space.

Cheney had the benefit of hardcore “murrica eagle caws freedum” sentiments where they could do little wrong

Hell, the Dixie chicks got cancelled because they said “I’m not super fond of war, actually”

In TX, Theodore “I left my dog snowflake at home while the state was freezing and without power for a family trip to Cancun then blamed my wife and children for the trip” Cruz is currently up for defeat.

He only just barely won against Beto O’rourke last time. Colin Allred is closing in and needs all the help he can get.

A member of the conservative party. Their rough equivalent to our Republican party

I would like to know more about this jellyfish. And your lcars

I’ll trade you a design I found/am getting set up for my workflow of a 3x3 macropad with a rotary dial to cycle through multiple pages of macros beyond just 9.

You’re very brave showing your wiring.

Just built a simple 3x3 macropad and I spent several hours trying to keep every last bit of the wiring clean and I still have a rats nest…

You saying we can trust the Danes?!? Have you heard their language!?!

I wonder how much of that is because of how much they grew vs the production cycle as dictated by constantly feeding the yt algorithm.

The difference between putting out a video every day and putting out a video when it’s ready is a decision that each channel makes

If I want an actual review, I’ll trust Jeff Geerling, GN, Explaining computers, Craft computing, or ETA Prime.

If I want to watch someone do dumb tech stuff, I’m going for Linus, Dawid, …and red shirt Jeff Geerling. The difference is that the latter two go into it fully transparent that what they’re doing is purely for the “will it blend?” vibe and should not be taken too seriously.

Linus’ videos blur the line a little too much between legitimately educational and purely for the entertainment value in a way that could give people false impressions of either the tech or processes.

Could also be the switch Zelda games

Supply side Jesus. A classic.
