I don’t work in publishing, but shouldn’t a CMS at least pop up a warning if it finds “TK” as standalone text anywhere in your story?

Yes, AV Club used to use Disqus, which isn’t perfect but is a hell of a lot better than Kinja, which was forced on them by their new G/O Media overlords when they took over. The Kinja devs sometimes popped into comment threads early on to tell commenters that they were stupid and the features they said they wanted…

I always found the lack of New 3DS games strange, because the New 3DS (4 core ARM11 @ 804Mhz, 256MB RAM, 10MB VRAM) was a roughly double hardware jump from the 3DS (2 core ARM11 @ 268Mhz, 128MB RAM, 6MB VRAM). And they both beat the pants off the original DS (single core ARM9 @ 67Mhz & single core ARM7 @ 33Mhz for…

“How It’s Made” is on Discovery+, at least seasons 1-24. There were some newer seasons on Hulu for a long time, but they were removed a few months ago and I bet will probably reappear on Discovery+ eventually. “How It’s Made” is about the only reason I’ve not cancelled (after subscribing to see the new Good Eats…

The dose, as always, makes the poison.

Hyponatremia (too little salt) sickens and kills athletes who drink too much water trying to stay hydrated.

My wife’s family lived in Winona until a few years ago and my FIL is still faculty at WSU. Sorry to have to tell you that a) that restaurant hasn’t been there for a long time (based on the size and angle of the bluff, I think there’s a Dairy Queen on that spot now) and b) the “Sugar Loaf” (top of frame) half collapsed…

They have a bunch of Atari stuff (2 carts are Lynx games), some Namco, various other. You can see the list on their website:

It was almost all down to one science fiction editor named John W. Campbell (editor of Astounding Science Fiction). Best way to get him to buy a story: include ESP. Best way to keep him from buying a story: don’t have any ESP. He had a lot of pull in the field so everyone tried to make him happy in hopes of selling…

It also in the early years had an extremely strong bias for shortest route and they had too little info about roads past their existence. My wife and I booked a B&B outside Ithaca, NY for our 2nd anniversary and we had first generation Android phones at the time (so, basically dial-up internet speed and no map caching)…

That pairing was also one of the last (if not *the* last) Double Features on Filmstruck, announced about the same time as Warner decided to kill the service. I could totally see Criterion Channel doing it again if they felt like paying for the rights to Bill & Ted again. (They already have most of Bergman’s catalog in…

Also worth noting on the CG front - both of the companies (Foundation Imaging and Digital Muse) that did most of the CG for DS9 and VOY went out of business and many of the models are potentially just gone. Foundation’s hardware was auctioned off and the buyers likely wiped the hard drives after purchase. Although…

Seriously, exactly. Follow people who tweet good things. Mute or block (as warranted) people who suck and make it a slog or actively bad place.

Or, you know, follow all the garbage accounts if that’s what floats your boat.

I follow my friends, journalists who I find to be smart or funny, film/TV critics who have…

I think you’re thinking of Krist Novoselic, who threw his bass up in the air and it came down on his head, maybe?

Paul Simonon regrets that P-bass getting smashed that’s on the cover of London Calling, because it was his favorite that he smashed on the spur of the moment because he was mad at the venue for how the bouncers were treating the audience.

Kurt Cobain always switched to a cheap Squier Stratocaster for the final song to smash it. It wasn’t any less fake. C’mon.

Ah, the same technique applied to William Shatner on Star Trek II by Nick Meyer.

Based on his tattoos, if the the dude is a shaman, it’s of Wotanism, which is a neo-nazi cult of the Nordic god Odin/Wotan.

Because if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck...
