I was given a temp ban by Dagny for posting a "ban hammer" joke meme. Last time I ever checked in. I doubt I still have the email I used there any more so I don't know if my ban was made permanent or not.

How can we trust a guy who doesn't know the difference between orange and yellow to handle something like the tech behind this website?

I just cancelled my Apple+ subscription. Can't remember the last time I watched anything on it.

If we donate do we get avatars?

Moving on to mediocre, was The Royal Hotel with Julia Garner, Jessica Henwick, and Hugo Weaving. Garner and Henwick are "Canadian" backpackers in Australia who run out of money and take a job at a very rural bar/hotel, owned by Hugo Weaving's character. Lots of misogyny and drugs, but light on plot...

Yea, I think that's where I am at. I had initial shock when Meineke wouldn't even touch it and told me it could be one of few things. I have the money - it's just the shock that it failed, and there's apparently an extended warranty on something like this - that was covered for 10/yr 150K miles. I ...

Speaking of the perils of A.I. Reminds me of the time my TomTom told me to take a road up and over a mountain in desolate, rural Southern West Virginia. I made it to the top and came to a gate and had to turn around. This what what it looked like near the start. It only got worse, much worse, as I ...

Feel like I just potentially lost a family member today. My 12 Wrangler, with 39K miles is popping an internal engine issue - and Meineke won't even touch it. Guy there said it might be a camshaft or timing chain issue. Have to take it to dealership to get a quote. I'm gonna have a hard decision to...

lol I'll take "Missing the Point" for $1000 Alex. The point is that "core beliefs" are becoming stricter and less tolerant to disagreement...to a point where people only want to surround themselves with echo chambers, thus furthering their already strict beliefs if you don't think increasing politi...

Annnnddddddddd...they ****** suck at governing. Quite a racket they worked out...and it's going great. As I said, the current system sucks. Pretty much everyone agrees on that. I just believe a Libertarian gov. has much chance of being successful as I have of sleeping with Alexandra Daddario. It's ...

How are you using the internet right now? Did you negotiate a deal with a private company to provide your infrastructure need? Or did the government just give you internet because you pay it taxes? I see your point, but I have access to the internet because my local government secured grants/fundin...

Government can have a few small roles...including providing security and ensuring the enforcement of contracts. Are you suggesting that all fire departments are funded by...what...the Department of Fire Extinguishing Department? Governments and taxes don't put out fires. Why do people automatically...

In a Libertarian utopia would people happily donate money to keep roads in drivable conditions, police and fire departments staffed and equipped, etc? What about the military? What about schools? How much money does the government put toward disease research, feeding and housing the poor, general in...

Re: tipping on take out. What's the rule if it's a buffet? At the local Chinese place I grab my own container, fill it, then take it to the cashier who rings it up and puts it in the bag. I usually round up to the nearest $5. Just wondering if I'm being cheap.

Twitter replies blaming the muslims of course. I remember when they assumed OKC was the muslims too....

Probably just a Tesla.

What's wrong with Argentina?

I heard the Nazi's highly recommend it.

The last film grossed over $150M. I think it might have been the highest grossing film since the original.

Melissa Barrera, the lead actress and star of Scream 5 and 6, was just fired from Scream 7 for being pro Palestine and questioning why no media was reporting the Palestine side of the war.

Seems a little drastic.

A damned fine film.

Don Walsh, the first guy to dive to the Mariana Trench, died.

Amazing to think this guy went to the deepest point in the ocean in 1960. It took 50+ years for anyone else to accomplish the same feat.

I ditched cable via Comcast but still use them for my internet and landline.

I used my Panasonic 4K player for the first time last night. I opened the tray to put in a movie, and the tray got stuck. :lol: I was able to get it working again easily, but man this thing is noisy, plastic, and feels like it has the build quality of a $30 DVD player. The video quality was great an...

Yeah, I have no idea about that. I think the future of streaming is commercials. All of these companies want that fat ad revenue. I mean, can you imagine what Netflix would be able to charge for a 30 second spot during the series finale of Stranger Things? Or what Paramount could make off of ads dur...
