Now a farmer living with his two young children—his wife died of cancer—Cooper crosses paths with a scientist (Michael Caine) who lets him in on a secret: Earth is doomed, and won't be able to sustain life within about 40 years.

My wife speaks Mandarin. I wonder if she'd be cool with translating this as a bedtime story.

Well, he's not wrong. It's an unforced error to say that out loud, and he shouldn't have brought Taylor Swift into this...but she's running a campaign based on her smilin', hog castratin', folksy Iowa niceness.

It's also more user friendly with an informative lock screen, cribbed in part from Motorola's Moto Display

I love candy corn. Especially a few weeks after Halloween when it's just a little bit stale.

Good to know. I will freely admit that I was being glib and hadn't looked into it too closely. But the difference between pronouncements and less-formal discussions is not one I was aware of previously.

That's why I said "self-described Catholics."

Anyone else read this and get the distinct impression the rental car employee was trying to make a bad joke, then got awkward when it didn't come close to landing?

Shut the fuck up, self-described Catholics. You don't get to criticize him. Fall in line the way you're supposed to.

She's trying to prove a bigger point: That you can't and shouldn't treat returning healthcare workers like shit just because you're a-scared, partly because it's just morally wrong and mostly because it'll make the epidemic in Africa that much worse.

I was mostly referring to just other random dudes in general, not guys with their friends/girlfriends. Because again...never seen it when I'm out by myself or among crowds and I wasn't sure why.

Well, that makes me feel simultaneously better and worse. At least that means I may not be overlooking shit I shouldn't be. On the other hand, not a whole lot I can do about something I can't see, which is irritating.

Replying to you because I am also from Boston...

Wow, that's pretty. Will have to play around with it after work.

"simple actions like swiping the notifications menu down from the top of the screen are impossible without switching up my hand posture to a less secure grip."

Anyone have any experience with Seiki?

With regard to the piece on content moderation...

Here are just 8 examples of other "Obama's Katrinas." And honestly, calling it 8 is kind of being generous; they combined Benghazi, the IRS and NSA under one header and that seems a little silly. It's more like 10 examples.

Yeah, I'm aware of that. Mostly this is just example no. 1823747236 of outright panic being an entirely irrational, counterproductive response with no basis in reality. And agreed completely w/r to the flu...I just didn't really elaborate much.

I had trouble walking around Beijing the last time I was there, and that was during an extended factory shutdown (maybe a slowdown?) around the city. Supposedly the best weather in terms of pollution that they'd had all year. Cannot imagine what it must have been like running in this...god damn.
