Been on a Fritz Lang binge over the past few weeks: Spiders, Spies, Metropolis, Woman in The Moon, Testament of Dr Mabuse. I’ve seen the original Dr Mabuse too many times to feel like a rewatch right now. M is next, and I wasn’t quite in the mood for that this weekend.
Taking a break with the 6th Terminator flick (“Dark Fate”).

In 1990 I was running a very tiny Unix clone at home (Coherent on a 286 PC w/ 1 meg ram) and… I don’t remember if I couldn’t get a standard reader to compile on that or what the problem was, but anyways - I wrote an email/usenet reader for my own use.
33 years later, I’m still using it to read my email every day.

In 2009 I bought a lot of 10 late 90s Sun servers (1997 machines upgraded a few years later with better CPUs) for $300. Original list price about $2.5 million. After fixing a few problems and swapping parts to max out half the machines, I kept a few as my compute servers, and traded the rest for SGIs. An Onyx for the museum, and a small (one 6’ rack) Origin-2000 for myself.
I think leftists ranting about not voting for Biden in the general election at the moment are just blowing off steam, and when election day comes, everyone on the left will remember 2016 and vote blue.
Most superhero movies should just be roller coasters. Or maybe one roller coaster for Marvel, and one for DC, and you get a different hat depending on the exact hero.
