Pantsofmagic,

It would be nice if mobile browsers/apps would convert them. When I save a webp and want to share it… Whelp, can’t do that - doesn’t even show up in the list of images.

Toyota to offer manual gearbox in next-generation electric cars (www.autocar.co.uk)

I don’t really see the point of this. It’s just adding complexity for the sake of it. As far as I can tell when you change gear it just changes some software parameters, there are no physical gears. Yet there’s a clutch and the ability to stall?

Pantsofmagic,

I’ll never understand the “quickness” argument. Nobody buys a manual to shift faster than an automatic, they buy it for the experience.

Pantsofmagic,

The amount of people downvoting similar opinions in this thread is off the charts. These people need to get a grip.

Pantsofmagic,

I’ll take one of those as well but throw in a microsd slot if you could be so kind

Pantsofmagic,

I think the opinions here are valid but I thoroughly enjoyed this movie more than I thought I would. It wasn’t all that it could have been but I got into it and stayed interested and found it entertaining.

Pantsofmagic,

UHD Blu-rays still have value and relevance. This is unfortunate.

Pantsofmagic,

The picture quality isn’t as noticeable to me as the additional HDR and spatial sound that tends to be included. Even with that, any Blu-ray is significantly better than streaming.

Pantsofmagic,

They need that extra space to cram in more ads!

Pantsofmagic,

And the irony is the hard right just voted with the Democrats on something - which is exactly the problem they had with the funding bill.

Pantsofmagic,

The Longest Journey. Wonderful story, great voice acting, beautiful environment.

Pantsofmagic,

Agreed. It ruins the entire message when it reads like something a 6th grader sneezed out after recess.

Pantsofmagic,

Pull up a chair son, I’ll tell you a tale of Trumpet Winsock.

Pantsofmagic,

Nobody should have to live in so much suspense. Stroganoff 4 lyfe

The loss of dark skies is so painful, astronomers coined a new term for it (www.space.com)

Given the harmful effects of light pollution, a pair of astronomers has coined a new term to help focus efforts to combat it. Their term, as reported in a brief paper in the preprint database arXiv and a letter to the journal Science, is “noctalgia.” In general, it means “sky grief,” and it captures the collective pain...

Pantsofmagic,

There was a NASA lady on StarTalk recently talking about how there’s something like 360,000 more satellites planned/approved to go into orbit and it’s going to completely erase the night sky. We’re at something like 7700 currently.

Pantsofmagic,

I don’t recall offhand his response but I believe it was this episode: startalkmedia.com/…/the-story-of-space-imaging-wi…

Pantsofmagic,

Almost definitely a Jerusalem Cherry. The samples on PlantNet look identical.

Alito wasn’t bluffing: He believes the Supreme Court is above the law (thehill.com)

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito no doubt intended to shock the political world when he told interviewers for the Wall Street Journal that “No provision in the Constitution gives [Congress] the authority to regulate the Supreme Court — period.”...

Pantsofmagic,

Yes but according to Alito, Congress has no power over the supreme court so that act is moot and anyone can just make up a number.

Pantsofmagic,

You are wise beyond your years. In respect I look at the late 90s as maybe my favorite period when the Internet was mostly run by (and used by) smart engineers and techies and not corrupted by misinformation and data mining. IRC was great at doing what discord does today. The web still had fun stuff and shareware was great to explore. Broadband was ramping up so speed was good for people who had it.

Pantsofmagic,

Do YOU like it then? It’s fucking awful.

Trump: ‘I’m Allowed to Do Whatever I Want’ With Classified Info (www.rollingstone.com)

DONALD TRUMP SAID he “absolutely” plans to testify in the federal government’s case against him regarding classified documents he removed from the White House. “I’m allowed to do whatever I want … I’m allowed to do everything I did,” the former president told conservative podcast host Hugh Hewitt....

Pantsofmagic,

This attitude is terrifying to people who handle national security information. Just because you might have authority to declassify something doesn’t mean you should. It’s reckless and irresponsible to expose sources and methods unnecessarily - not to mention the information itself. There’s a reason that declassified documents still have a lot of redactions.

This type of stuff is usually in a very controlled environment with significant physical security - not a bathroom.
