I was about to post this same comment, but you did a much better job.

People like that aren’t worth the effort (and, as you said, blood on the seats). But Ziff-Davis’s name sort-of lives on in ZD Net, which I still read, especially their hardware reviews.

Wait, are you saying 1982's Mazes and Monsters was *not* the definitive D&D movie??!?

While these two yoyos are clearly too stupid to be traveling to Hawaii anyway, it does boggle my mind that the CDC didn’t come up with a harder to fake vaccine card. They could have gotten the US treasury in on it, and done a design something like our currency. Or even better, something with holograms and a unique…

I remember when, years after reading the books, I discovered that a Ford Prefect was the British Ford Escort. 

Not sure if it's just me, but I didn't even see the Tigger flag in the video. Was it just off camera? Or am I blind....

Never mind

When laptops moved to 16:9, I started keeping the task bar on the side. Not sure why they’d remove this - it’s been a feature since at least Windows 7, if not XP.

Yeah, they changed the name, although in settings, when I search for “beam”, it still pulls up the sharing features.

Android the same basic feature, called Beam (or Android Beam) which lets you share photos or links via Bluetooth and/or WiFi to nearby devices. If you click on a photo in the photos app, and click share, you can touch the “nearby” link/symbol to do this. You can also share things via NFC, but I haven’t tried sharing a…

What, are you saying you *don’t* wear a mask having sex? Hmmmph!

I just ordered one of these two days ago, during Lenovo’s Black Friday in July sale. I got it with the i5-1140G7 (which has vPro, which I need for my work), 16 GB of RAM, and the 512 GB SSD, and paid $1,390.

I used to be much more pro-hydrogen. But it turns out that a lot of fossil fuel companies are in favor of hydrogen also, because the cheapest way to produce hydrogen is by steam-reforming natural gas, and gasification of coal. Both of which contribute massive amounts of CO2 to the atmosphere, and so they don’t…

I was hoping, as I read your comment, that you would mention the TV show. It was so incredibly bad, that it made the movie seem quite good in retrospect. I might just be younger than you, but I watched the movie first and then read the book the following year. I don’t remember all the details, but I remember thinking…

This was at my house today.

Someday, we’ll have a country where neither governors not Presidents call upon the rain gods, or other imaginary friends, to solve problems. It’s embarrassing that people still think telepathic entreaties to invisible sky lords (aka prayer) will accomplish anything.

Pfffftttt! Sasquatch doesn't live in, or even visit, Oklahoma. He roams the great forests of the Pacific Northwest, dividing his time between Oregon and Washington, with occasional hunting trips into British Columbia.

Ahhh, thank you for posting this! I saw the “white pixel” in several scenes when watching the movie over the weekend, and given that I have an LG OLED tv (which I got in 2018), I was concerned that it was starting to prematurely have problems.

Even assuming humans do create super-intelligent AGI that decides to increase its own power and control, etc, it seems very unlikely to me that it would attempt to exterminate humans completely, if only because it would rely on us heavily for a long time, for things like electricity, construction and maintenance of…
