Ted Lasso. It’s one of the best TV shows to come out in years. Apple TV is easily worth the price just for Ted Lasso, but Foundation and For All Mankind were good too.

The Eye was proven to not be all-seeing or all-knowing. Same with the Ring Wraiths. And Orcs were shown numerous times to be inept guards.
So have an eagle fly Frodo to Mt. Doom on a night with a new moon, above the clouds. There is no way they would be spotted. A curse, while stupid, is the only explanation that really puts this plot hole to rest IMO.
Is that because the automotive industry decided to go with the North American standard for rapid chargers instead of Tesla’s? If so, while heartless, it makes sense from a business standpoint.
Ah ok. I thought they were different. I actually just listened to a podcast the other day about electric vehicles, and the guest expert mentioned something about there being a NA standard, European standard, and Tesla. Maybe I just misunderstood him.
May be an incident where they could not understand how much things they take for granted cost to the normies, a flagrant disregard for morals or ethics, a blatant show of arrogance or disconnectedness, or anything yould like to share.

Oh, I totally didn’t register you were talking about passkeys. lol sorry. I don’t use them, so I was just talking about the BW app in general .I haven’t run into any compatibility issues with it.
Hi, I’m considering getting into Stargate. I only know it’s based on a movie and the franchise consists of 3 tv shows. I don’t know anything about the setting / plot....
Stargate has some really interesting plots, great characters, and some truly hilarious moments. I love the IP dearly, and Atlantis is my favorite of the bunch. It’s more light-hearted and pulpy than Star Trek, but it’s still great. I am jealous of you getting to watch it for the first time. I wish I could do that again.
I will echo what others have said. The first season is rough, especially the beginning. But it gets good towards the latter half. The following seasons have sold some stinkers, like every show, but the seasons in general get better as it goes on. I definitely recommend it if you like Star Trek.
Yeah, RDA is a treasure and he is great in the show. He and the other producers specifically wanted to change the O’Neill from the movie by giving him more humor and personality, because it made him more likeable. And it was the right call. I don’t think I would have liked the show as much with a movie-version of O’Neill leading the team.
I’m re-watching The Magicians with my wife, since she’s never seen it. It’s been long enough since I watched it last that I don’t remember a lot of things that happened, so there’s a lot of “I forgot got that!” moments for me, which is fun.
Whenever I am cooking dinner or doing chores during the week after work I have a sitcom on in the background. New Girl, Friends, The Office, TBBT, etc. I’ve seen them dozens of times, but there is something about having them on the TV in the evening that reminds me of childhood. Simpler times maybe, I dunno. But I find it extremely relaxing.
Then every other year or so I’ll go through Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis, because they are probably my favorite shows.
Florida has seen a population boom in recent years, but many longtime residents and recent transplants say rising costs and divisive politics have them fleeing the Sunshine State....
Ft Myers does not have a 4.7% property tax rate. That would be ridiculously, catastrophically high. It , but Florida is in the middle of the list for effective proper tax rate among all states in the country.
But I agree with you. I’ve heard many people I know from my state say they are leaving for FL because of income tax. I feel like many don’t consider everything that actually goes into living there. Other than the politics, insurance companies starting to refuse home insurance is the scariest thing that would prevent me from ever living there.
Long time back I used to use a spam email whenever I needed one. Then services started declining emails from those services, so I made a temp Gmail I used for everything. But I’m not comfortable with how much I use that.
I use Firefox and the uBlock Origin addon as my default browser setup. It works great…except for on youtube. I used to use it happily for youtube with all Ads blocked, but two recent youtube changes made me have to use a different browser and extension, just for youtube....
Go back to selling “dumb” sets and I’d buy 4 brand new, big TVs right now. Seriously, I would replace both of my existing TV’s and finally get ones for the other major rooms in my house almost immediately. But I won’t, because all you can get now are smart TVs and smart TVs are just fucking awful.
