I like it a lot, but every season has had the same pattern of great, space-focused premier that gradually stalls into weird soap opera subplots with no payoff, followed by a rushed climax. It’s hardly the only prestige tv drama to fall into that trap, but each season has doubled down on those weaknesses. I really hope…

Buying clothes and hoping the insurance money comes through later is a shitty way to spend the first day of a trip, and might not be possible for people who are big and tall.

How tall are you Elizabeth?

Can someone please make a Red Storm Rising miniseries? I’d much rather watch an 8 or 10 episode cold war thriller than more attempts to modernize Jack Ryan stories.

All I’m saying, Roman being an alien might make his character less terrible.

Next do the Japanese version:

Missing the most important tip:

I made the “mistake” of buying an early 4k TV. It has local dimming, but no HDR, and other than Netflix and Amazon I have to use Chromecast for everything. It’s fine, but now I’m stuck in the trough of not being worth the upgrade, but lacking the latest features.

In Hudson I’m sort of amazed it’s not already an antique shop, farm to table restauarant, or microbrewery.

The stupid thing is most airlines now have “fuel surcharges” even though their fuel costs are near record lows, and the tax rates are minimal.

What scares me is that I don’t know how the trumpzis will lash out. They’ve been heavily invested in an anti-authoritarian paranoia, fantasizing about killing the police or soldiers who come to take their guns away, or extradite them to “fema camps” or “agenda 21 compounds”. But recently they’ve been barraged by…

As I understand it,a big part of the fixation with Iran is that a powerful kingdom from Persia or the Caucasus is the antagonist in evangelical christianist’s apocalypse fantasies. It’s also why they strongly support Israel, because a restored kindgom of Israel is supposed to kick off the end times by rebuilding the…

With GaN shrinking things dramatically, I want someone to come out with a 2 USB-C, 2 USB-A the size of the larger RavPower and Anker models. 60W would be OK, most of the time I’m charging an iphone, ipad, and another usb device like a camera or headphones.

These are all good choices, and I own 2 each of both of the RavPower picks. That’s where I learned the annoying flaw all of them share. On folding plug designs, the charger frequently blocks any other chargers from being used in the socket above it. At home or at your office desk, it’s not generally an issue, and it…

I’ve charged my iphones, a moto phone, 2 dell laptops, and my ipad with the RavPower recommended here on both 110/60 and 220/50 power. It’s good to go.

For me it’s a tie. The compact Ravpower 61W GaN is absurdly good, and it goes in my bag with my laptop.

The biggest problem minor league baseball has is stringing along thousands of players who will never make the majors on an absolute pittance. Lot’s of baseball is good, but when most of the players are wage slaves, it’s fundamentaly broken.

I’d add that if you look at fans who aren’t die hard, but aren’t really casual either, the Flyers have plenty. Even if they don’t go to many games or watch much on TV, they’re paying attention, they’ve got the t-shirts and the bumper stickers. And that’s where the discussion about whether the Flyers die-hard core or…

The Eagles sold out every game, averaging 100% attendance

There’s a crazy Mandela effect around the sixers. So many people look at the current bandwagon and forget how invisible they’d been since 2003.
