Speaking on behalf of all Minnesotans: we do not want either Dakota.

“The Accused” did well, and was well-reviewed.

I’m sure there’s some window of a non-compete clause in the last contract he signed; network execs should fire their general counsel if not.

I miss George Carlin.

Why, thank you!

Full disclosure: I have diagnosed OCD.

Did I miss the part where you can actually hear the F word and see knife slicing/stabbing people on SyFy? I thought hard-R was premium-only?

I loved both my 360 Kinect and my XB1 Kinect. Using voice commands to turn on my entire entertainment system (this was just before the advent of Alexa/Siri, yung’uns) was flat-out awesome.

It still wasn’t enough for the paranoid; they demanded our source code so they could “check for themselves” what algorithms were generating the keys, and if there was any way the company could see them.

I got the same vibe.

Oh, I drank the shit out of Clearly Canadian in the 90s.

“Crap” is a little harsh.

Yeah, it’d be nice if software engineers worked for free.

Oh, I completely agree. A limited mini-series, one-and-done (e.g., the _Watchmen_ sequel on HBO) would be ideal.
