Un Dorian Gray sin pasado, ni patria ni bandera.

I'm just a guy in the who likes going on adventures, and playing games with friends.

Three things I love: the Oxford Comma, irony, and missed opportunities.

Well, this thread has strengthened my desire to adopt a teen from foster care. I technically have/had a family but they were more like roommates than parents. Left at 18 and never looked back. Had my share of lonely holidays that I would dread when they came around. I'm not trying to say I've had the same story as those here, but I get some parts of it really well. I'm finally at a place where maybe I can prevent that from happening to someone else.

This is the first I'm hearing of this author, but seems like it: wiki

I vaguely remember it being put on hold for some alignment with European privacy laws or something along those lines.

Elon Musk says it's his turn to have the remote (www.engadget.com)

[Xitter] just announced a smart TV app for streaming video. Or, more accurately, that it claims it’s building one, with absolutely no launch date mentioned. The appropriately-named [Xitter] TV wants to be “your go-to companion for a high-quality, immersive entertainment experience on a larger screen.”

English is a descriptive language instead of prescriptive, so make it happen!

You're not alone. I tried reading them and the premise was something I could get behind but the way it was written drove me crazy. I agree that if they had a better translator to make it sound more native English, I probably would have been fine with it. Bit as it stands it sounded very Chinese still. I'm hoping the show will solve that problem for us.

Oregon Senate just passed that bill. Here's hoping.

Yeah, given my druthers I'd rather summer time, but that seems unlikely happen any time soon. So honestly, I'll be happy if we no longer have to change clocks twice a year regardless of which we align with.

That was my thought when they said X identified as conservative, Y liberal, the rest moderate or unsure.

How about none of the above since they're all right of center?

Because our whole government operates as if this still the 1800s and the only thing holding us together is the Pony Express.

If you want to dip your toes, go with something easy. Pop_os or Linux Mint are the two most often suggested. Lesser offered but with a Mac OS feel is Elementary.

Supreme Court to weigh whether Covid misinformation is protected speech (www.statnews.com)

As social media sites were flooded with misleading posts about vaccine safety, mask effectiveness, Covid-19’s origins and federal shutdowns, Biden officials urged platforms to pull down posts, delete accounts, and amplify correct information....

I think your answer also explains why they're so angry about white people no longer being the majority. They're scared they'll be treated how they've been treating everyone else.

Why hasn't anyone brought back an e-ink watch? Best watch ever.

Oh man, I clicked that link really hoping you were going to link to a Dyson Sphere.

That's why I loved StumbleUpon when it first came out. I discovered so many cool niche things that way.

And then we block that instance! Or it gets defederated.

Welcome! Don't be surprised if you feel the need to try out all the distros!

I didn't know about showly and gave it a try, syncing it to trak.tv. What does this get me that I don't get through trakt.tv by itself? What am I missing?

themadcodger,

Yeah, I was doing pretty much all that with trakt already, but wasn't sure if I was missing anything. I do like the ability to hide shows though.

Man arrested after allegedly planning to bomb Satanic Temple in Salem (www.boston.com)

According to a Jan. 12 press release by the Salem Police Department, 30-year-old Luke Isaac Terpstra was arrested and charged with possession of bombs with unlawful intent, after an investigation by the Grant Police Department in Michigan....

I feel like these people could read and understand the Satanic Temples tenets and still try to blow something up.
