Both of those jobs are also significantly more difficult than most people realize.

No surprise really. Back in October last year the Premiere of Alberta (Canada's very own Howdy Arabia) passed a proposal to stop labelling carbon dioxide as a pollutant and instead celebrate it as a "foundational nutrient for all life on Earth”.

Never seen anyone with polio before irl

Give it time. I've got 'Tesla branded iron lungs' on my US 2026 bingo card.

Disliking the video is engagement, that's probably why they show up every so often. It's basically the algorithm saying "hey, can I suck you into an anger spiral today? No? Ok, I'll try again later."

He also renounced his US citizenship in Action Comics #900 like 15 years ago.

There are a few different edits, but my fave is the M4 Book Edit. It only follows what was covered in the book and cuts out all the additions like the Kili/Tauriel love story (and Tauriel is cut out completely along with Azog until the end), the Dol Guldur stuff, and Gandalf's escapades outside the party. It cuts the trilogy down to 4hr18min. Aside from a few unavoidably janky transitions, it's great.

I absolutely adore it for 2 reasons: One, I really dislike the trilogy as a whole, but that's because of the bloat, which M4 gets rid of. Two, the older I get the harder it is to go through LOTR as often as I like. I usually do an LOTR rewatch once a year, and tried to add in the Hobbit, but usually stopped after the first. It's just too much time for not enough payoff. With the M4 edit, I'll get stoned and watch it 5 or 6 times a year.

For as much flack as Jackson gets the for The Hobbit movies, he did a phenomenal job where it counts. There really is a wonderful, true-to-source Hobbit adventure scattered throughout the 8hr52min bloat that is the trilogy.

For funsies, if you like the other bits there's another fan edit called Durin's Folk and the Hill of Sorcery that's 1hr8min that covers Gandalf's adventure after he fucks off from the party at Mirkwood.

If you have a Pixel you can install Graphene OS

There's no need to rehabilitate hate. They just poked the coals a bit.

Based out of Howdy Arabia

Electoral reform and the NDP coming out swinging, leaning hard into social programs with a sharp and charismatic leader.

Ditched a science victory as well. What's left? Religious? Maybe but unlikely. Domination? Even the US can't do that. Diplomatic? Not a fucking chance. So...points I guess?

Especially in today’s sociopoliticalathic climate

And the songs a banger!

Thank you! Yep dumped Amazon, Meta, (never had anything Musk), and Google. All I have left is Microsoft for big tech, so Linux is my new focus.

That's the problem, I'm freelance and barely scraping by haha. I'd love to grab something to try out but it ain't gonna happen right now. My laptop is a Samsung galaxy book3 ultra which I slapped Mint on a while back and had issues and went back with a cracked windows 11. Apparently linux and the galaxy book line don't play well. But, I'm very tempted to try another distro on it first, like bazzite. Probably be the smart thing before touching my main PC.

LiveUSB

I had no idea this was a thing! So I can basically put a Linux distibution on a USB, boot into bios and run Linux without installing anything over my existing hdd? Researching a virtual machine has been on my radar, is that basically what this is?
