I want the RFID implant to pay for stuff using NFT just so I can freak people out.

I keep thinking I need to watch this show. Mostly just because it’s filmed in the area where I live in Utah. They’ve even filmed stuff in my town.

Huh. My Vroom experience earlier this year was really smooth. They even delivered the car 2 weeks earlier than promised. Only issue was it took them about 3 months to get my permanent registration but they told me ahead of time that my state DMV was delayed. I just made sure to lean on Vroom when the temp expired and…

Oh my god I love this tip. I pretty much always try to record video in 4k 60fps on my iPhone 11 and it bugs the crap out of me having to change that every freaking time I go to record a video of my kids!

Crumbl’s HQ is about a 10 minute drive from my house (yes I live in Utah...sigh). People love Crumbl so much around here it’s practically a sub-culture. I mean they’re good cookies and we get them now and then as a treat, but some people are just weird about it.

I’ve turned down 2 jobs offers in the last year because they were back in office before vaccination was an option. One company had everyone back in last August. My current employer still has no return to office date. We already have a plan created, but it’s the hybrid model and the messaging is basically:

I personally think one of the best examples of this preservation is the MMORPG City of Heroes (or Villains). It was shut down by the publisher in 2012 and (VERY long story short) the source code got out into the wild in April 2019. I was up until 3 AM on Discord listening to the guy that had it talk about it and…

I’m in the same boat. As much as I hate other people I badly miss the movie theater experience. We paid for Cinemark’s movie club membership and it was worth every penny for us (the monthly charge was less than the cost of a single ticket in our local theater). I loved taking my kids to see the latest…

Also if you don’t have anything handy to drain fat into, aluminum foil in a bowl works great and makes for easy cleanup.

That was the second-to-last movie in theaters for my family. We managed to take our kids to see Onward in March the weekend before everything shut down.

If I don’t go to the doctor he can’t tell me I have cancer - ergo I don’t have cancer!

Cool. Thanks for that! Oddly enough I know of a few buildings from the 1800s that aren’t on that list. I may have to add some.

I think there’s also an “oldness” to Europe that just doesn’t exist (yet) in North America. Most of the what we think of as the United States has been built in the time of wood and (later) steel framed buildings. Very, very few homes that date back to even the early 1800s still exist, and those that do usually have…

The funny thing is how this sounds EXACTLY like Mormonism. They say “we love everyone, including LGBTQ people*.”

Those always pull me out of the movie. Like the chase scene at the beginning of The Rock with the Sean Connery driving a Hummer and Nicholas Cage in a yellow Ferarri. Anyway it’s a high-speed chase through San Francisco in the middle of the day. You just can’t do that. Like...it’s not possible in any way shape or form…

I was picking some family up from SLC airport last week and commenting on how it’s my favorite airport. I’ve flown in/out of a good chunk of the major airports in the western US just this year (Las Vegas, LAX, Sea-tac, San Diego, Phoenix, Denver, San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose) and never found one as easy to…

I agree that this was a terrible movie. Although there was one thing I really enjoyed - I thought Kevin Spacey was a fantastic Lex Luthor (modern revelations about Spacey notwithstanding). I remember having a legit “Oh shit” reaction when Lois runs into him and he’s brushing his teeth. Even with a toothbrush in his…

Oh definitely. I was just pointing out what I consider to be the episode where that really changed. The first instance I can think of where they transitioned into those really mean jokes and the show started to become the farce it predicted in “Behind the Laughter.”

The mean spirited jokes are what really did it for me. I think the one that really did it in for me was a Nelson joke in season 15 (pre-HD but still...). It’s in the beginning of the episode where Milhouse moves to Capital City and Homer is panhandling for some extra cash. The kids are all on a bus going on a field…

It used to be a LOT harder to get caught. I work in IT at a major university and we used to have a packet shaping appliance but it was more trouble than it was worth. We started using blocklists in our firewall, but that was also a PITA even though it was updated by the vendor.
