What else doesn’t make a lick of sense is that IO9 once again offers series analysis from a writer who admits mid-article that they haven’t seen the show.

I’ve commented this before on other slideshows, but just posting the results with no commentary is comically lazy. At least if there were some input from the author on the rankings, this wouldn’t feel like such a mandated piece from on high.

Unsettling, but here’s hoping it orients itself on the Sun properly again on the next calibration cycle.  (It’s so far away that it doesn’t actually point at the Earth -- it just points at the Sun, and that’s close enough.  The beam is wide enough to cover the Earth’s entire orbit -- and quite a bit more.)

I’m probably in the minority here, but I don’t like that Disneyland sells alcohol now. The last time I took the kids to Disneyland, we rode Pirates of the Caribbean in the same boat as a group of tipsy twenty-somethings. There wasn’t a moment of silence on that ride.

Wow, didn’t even realize I’d done it. It also completely effs refreshing since it like loads the lower article. It’s so bad. 

These new scrolling articles suck real bad. It’s really easy to comment on the wrong article. Not your fault.

I hate

Lighten up, Francis.

Disagree.

This looks amazing. And I don’t even like musicals! But I love this show for taking such a crazy, big risk, and I have full faith it will be a treat.

Does Anyone Else Find Hasbro’s Groove ‘N Grow Groot Incredibly Upsetting?

To me, the only way anyone could justify letting them drill on OUR land would involve a guarantee that any and ALL oil produced be STRICTLY for domestic use. Naturally, the oil companies would never agree to such a thing, so they should have to take their environment-wrecking machinery elsewhere. As far as Biden goes,…

Good I am tired of welfare drilling. It is not like oil companies are going broke. 

Are they still doing borderline-illegal obfuscation of how profitable (or unprofitable) Youtube is within the Alphabet consortium?

I actually refuse to use the “apps” because of the ads and just hook a spare PC to my living room tv specifically to watch youtube with adblock enabled in case I am too lazy to watch it on my office PC. I wouldn’t mind one or two per 10 to 15 minute video but honestly they are getting ridiculous on some but from what…

Yeah, definitely going to stop watching YouTube entirely and just download my favorite playlists for ambient noise while I sleep.

Youtube shouldn’t cost that much. Its the internet’s public access channel. And the ads are aggressive.

I’m in month 2 of a 3 month trial of YouTube premium and I don’t really use it. It’s like 90% cliché Youtubers (face in the camera pointing at things, doing Youtuber voice) and then maybe 2% worthwhile stuff to be found by search for a specific thing: DIY videos specifically, which I have no problem sitting through…

Well, that Zucks...  Guess I’ll be dropping my premium service and perhaps just not using YT as much.  I probably spend too much time there anyway.

“The company reported it had seen a drop of $176 million in YouTube ad revenue compared to the same time last year.”
