Here’s the thing: I don’t think the person who wrote this has any idea what “public speaking” means.

The pressure sensitivity is essential if you want to draw. It’s better than most of the fancy dedicated tablets. It is the only reason I bought an iPad. Beware the cheaper knock-off that list “tilt-sensitivity”; it is not the same.

Washington’s Army Jogged Many Miles, And Jogged Very Hard To Philadelphia, To Find Pretty British Ladies = Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Adams, Jackson, Van Buren, Harrison, Tyler, Polk,Taylor, Fillmore, Pierce, Buchanan, Lincoln!

Towing companies make deals with parking lot owners that give the lot owners a fee for every tow. It’s quite a scam. A typical scenario is a downtown parking lot owned by a 9 to 5 business; especially one that’s near a night spot or a theater. The lot is typically vacant at night and looks like a safe bet to a driver…

Have they really gone apolitical? I’m not asking sarcastically. I see the occasional re-cap in the NY Times and it seems about the same.

“Citizen Ruth” is even more relevant these days. Pretending everyone who aligns with your political viewpoint isn’t a self-righteous a-hole is the problem.

“Cultural impact” might be a tough metric to judge but Stewart’s Apple TV show has a fraction of the audience of Trevor Noah’s “Daily Show” (on a single show basis). And for what it’s worth “The Daily Show” lost 72% of it’s audience when Stewart left.

Jon Stewart and Wyatt Cenac famously had some “problems.” Which is strange after seeing Cenac’s post “Daily Show” effort, the single-topic “Wyatt Cenac’s Problem Areas.” Stewart followed with a similarly titled (and oriented) show. I thought Cenac’s take was much more interesting while Stewart’s was basically a…

I started paying for YouTube premium when my ad blocker started acting up. It’s pricey, but when I access YouTube on a device without it I can’t imagine sitting through all those horrible ads. It’s worth the money if you are spending a lot of time on there.

I can’t even...

“Producers” are often people own a piece of the end product. Which is how those with zero participation in the actual making-of a film get their name on the poster. A “line producer” is the body in the trenches dealing with logistics, budgets etc. and they rarely get a piece of the action.

That’s not too far off but I hate to bring it up because “Hot Tub Time Machine” seems to have been retroactively downgraded (and I liked both flicks.)

Yeah, I don’t get the shade. It’s about jerky guys being jerky guys. I thought some of the on-the-nose stuff with Melfi’s yuppie dinner pals was always cringier then seeing xenophobic mobsters doing exactly what you expect. The Melfi ‘splaining stuff was like elementary school teachers who can’t think of anything to…

I’m not so sure. We all get a ton of stuff with “unsubscribe” options but that includes mail I want to read. If I filter this way, I’ll still have to check the filtered stuff. Of course, filtering stuff without “unsubscribe” means I won’t get any more conspiracy tales from Aunt Gladys. Or anything. (Might be the best…

Not so sure about this from my experience. My e-bike has replaced walking a mile or two every day for errands. It’s just way too easy to hit the throttle and go with minimal pedaling. It’s a ton of fun and super convenient but my caloric burn barely registers. It doesn’t help that my inexpensive Jetson Bolt barely…

It’s really a no-brainer (for me anyway.) Prime Video is good but it ain’t great. It can be a mess but they have a knack for off-the-wall stuff that I like. Still, it’s worth maybe half of what you pay for Prime- the rest is gravy. If you have qualms about feeding that beast of Bezos maybe it ain’t worth it. But 90%…

Not having a throttle kind of takes the fun out of an e-bike. Turns out you might actually want a cheap, cheesy moped.

Is sorting laundry still a thing? I tend to stay away from white shirts and anything else likely to get accidentally tinted from the occasional red sock. I wash everything in cold pretty much.

If you looked back twenty years at any number of contentious battles between newspaper owners and the unions, you would see a lot of the same rhetoric about fat cat owners getting rich. Anybody want to invest in a newspaper today? The AMPTP and the unions are facing the same problems. Streaming isn’t going away but…
