Too late. Someone at Blizzard should have remembered that “You never get a second chance to make amfirst impression.” No amount of FOMO will bring me back to this tedious grind disguised as an event.

Of the 16 images, five don’t count. The one with the Gorn is an obvious joke, but for four other, Kirk wasn’t acting of his own free will. He was being physically controlled by God like aliens, mind controlled or straight up sexually assaulted.
I have mixed feelings. Man of Steel was a good film with a decent, modern take on the character. Henry Cavil was a great casting choice for the lead role and I’d love to see him get another shot at it. I don’t see the need for a reboot with a different cast. It feels like he’s being punished for Superman v Batman and Justice League, films with shortcomings that were not his fault.
I’d rather see Gunn do for Superman what he did with The Suicide Squad - retain good performers from the lackluster predecessor films but give them a good script to work with.
The Pixel 7a replaced my Pixel 3a which I was running LineageOS on.
I miss LineageOS already and may soon install it on the 7a too.
Google Fi had an instant rebate offer on the Pixel 7a - $200 off if activated on an existing Google Fi account. I got mine for $300 plus tax. It’s last year’s model, but I’ll still get more than 4 years of security updates on it.
PSA: if you do stop to talk to someone at the supermarket, don’t do it in the middle of the fucking aisle. Between you, your friend and your respective carts, you create an obstruction for everyone else who just wants to get their damn groceries and get out.
I use a kettle at home, but I’ve used a microwave at work. I don’t understand what’s remotely laughable about doing so. Boiling water is boiling water.
I’ll tell what is laughable is how America restaurants typically serve hot tea. They draw a small metal container of hot water from the spigot on the side of the coffee maker, and bring it to the table with an empty cup and a teabag. By the time the bag goes in the water, the water is far too cold to infuse properly.
The irony of publishing a guide on installing a privacy oriented ROM while prohibiting users of another privacy measure (ad blockers) from reading said guide. Thanks, Jimbo, for the archive link.
Re: transparency about bankrolling, i believe you since you say so. I’ve seen many of his videos and never heard him say so. I guess I just missed the ones where he did, or perhaps he said so on social media.
As for rigor, I can’t count the number of times he uses an unspecified amount of a chemical in a reaction, referring only to “throwing a bunch in.” But again, perhaps I’ve just watched the wrong videos.
His approach seems to me to be very “by guess and by gosh.” Part of that stems from trying to follow poorly written instructions in an academic paper; applied sciences grapples with that too. And some of it may be less slapdash that it appears, with Nilered using a deliberately casual tone in his scripts so that they’re more relatable, knowing that people aren’t likely to use his videos to attempt to reproduce his results. Even taking that into account though, given the number of attempts it often takes him to get the desired result, I doubt his rigor. Props to him for showing the failures and partial successes, though. And whatever else I say about him, I do generally find him entertaining.
My problem with him is that he lacks rigor and his methodology is poor.
Also, from the amount of money he throws around buying equipment, I suspect he has wealthy parents bankrolling him.
Applied Science is a far more interesting youtube channel.
I can’t dispute that, but in fairness, there are quite a few of the original Sherlock Holmes stories where the reader couldn’t be expected to solve the mystery. The Adventure of the Red Headed League is one such, as I recall, though it has been quite a while since I read it.
For me the fun of the show is in the chemistry between actors and in the development of Sherlock’s character as someone who discovers his own humanity and eventually forms connections with those around him.
Elizabeth Keen in Black List. Writers constantly told us how brilliant and special she was, then showed her acting like a dimwitted, hormonal teen.
Depends on your budget and use case. Jellyfin’s “Hardware Selection” documentation has you covered as to general specs, so maybe consider them a shopping list.
Briefly, a mini PC with the following will work for a “normal server:”
CPU: Intel Pentium G4560, Intel Core i3-7100 or newer Pentium or better
RAM: 8GB or more
Storage: 60GB SSD storage for Jellyfin files and transcoding cache.
Graphics: Intel HD 6xx (7th gen integrated graphics) or newer, Nvidia GTX 16 / RTX 20 series or newer (excluding GTX 1650). Intel is recommended over Nvidia. AMD and Apple Silicon are not recommended.
If you don’t need transcoding, or can use low power transcoding, Intel 12th gen or newer Atom CPUs with integrated graphics will serve.
I’ve run Jellyfin on a R Pi 4 but experienced glitches on playback with a Roku with media that required transcoding. It wasn’t awful, but knowing myself, I knew it’d get old quickly so I went back to MiniDLNA which works a treat when playing back on a mini PC with VLC or Kodi.
There’s a Hugo winning short story by Roger Zelazny called “Unicorn Variation.”
“ In an abandoned saloon, a man and a unicorn play chess. The fate of humanity is at stake. A Sasquatch aids the human.”
The game they play follows one played by Halprin and Pillsbury in Munich, 1900.
I’ve heard him introduce himself in a video, pronouncing his name as you would a hair comb.
This is a sign that we are in the end times.

I like long, ridiculous names like Sylvester Birtwistle from Lovecraft Investigations or Thockmorton P. Ruddygore from Jack Chalker’s Dancing Gods novels.
So you’re saying that the cheapest example of a given food is not necessarily a good value? Makes sense.
Good points all. Blizzard never has prioritized communication.
