I just want a really good homescreen widget that shows a month view, and a widget that shows a task list I can check off as they’re complete. Right now I’m using Business Calendar, but I’d switch to open source in a heartbeat if any of them offered this.

We aren’t going to stop being prejudiced against each other until we meet other species to turn our prejudices outward.

I saw him in Marquette, Michigan in the early 90s. The only thing I remember about the performance was “don’t call Natives ‘Native Americans’. America sucks. Just call them Indians.”

Marquette’s pretty much the backwater of Michigan, he must have been working on new material.

Why yes there is, from the 19th century. But it’s not about abortion, so surely is unenforceable.

To Kill A Mockingbird

And read the book.

But billionaires are the only source of jobs and if nobody is there to buy yachts how will the trickle-down economics work?

Maybe you’re in the wrong communities. There are a lot fewer people here than on Reddit, so you’ll run into the same people more frequently.

I’m not sure what concessions you’re looking for. If someone is being a troll, or just boneheaded, block them for a month or two or forever.

Good for him, Kevin is one of my favorite people.

I really miss Smodcast.

Did they find the Grail? And a weird knight from the crusades that speaks perfect English?

The Thing (John Carpenter, 1982). Not gory, so much as gooey.

The Babadook.

The Mist. Based on a book by Steven King. King admits the movie ending is better than his own.

10 Cloverfield Lane. It’s standalone, don’t worry if you haven’t seen Cloverfield

Annihilation. The bear freaks me out.

Event Horizon. Sci-Fi/Horror

Original Ghostbusters from 1984.

Gremlins

No One Will Save You. The ending is weird, but the suspense is top-notch.

The 'Burbs. Classic Tom Hanks comedy.

Tremors.

What We Do in the Shadows

One incidental purpose of the Interstate Highway System is as emergency landing strips. But a VTOL craft should be able to make use of even the roughest roadways in the event of an emergency. Activate your hazards to alert the craft and any surrounding drivers of extraordinary circumstances.

Be prepared to render aid as necessary.

Keep in mind this is “X, the everything app”. Musk expects it to be your one stop on the internet for everything, including online banking.

Elrond: At least there are fewer this time.

I think the fact that Harris would help everybody is the dealbreaker.

and also universal remote controls.

The system starts out as a big cloud of debris orbiting a central point. Each particle is orbiting in its own way, there isn’t any organization. Since there is no organization, most of these particles are going to bump into each other. This changes the speed and direction of the particles, some of them will clump together and most of them ending up gathered at the center of gravity of the entire system. This eventually gets large enough to become your star.

As the remaining particles become clumped together into larger items they will begin exerting gravitational pull on other objects. One plane of orbit will become dominant, and the remaining clumps will gradually settle down into their orbits, in the same general plane, in the same direction. Those that don’t will have their orbital speed reduced enough that the object ends up gathered into the center.

It sounds like things are working exactly as intended.

I would really like to see this dangerous barcode. I assume something like that would just be a website QR code.

Serious question: Does JD Vance have the plague?
