Looks like King West and Atlantic Avenue specifically, which is a 5 minute walk from me.

It doesn't look as nice as the photo Google Maps

Haha this happened to me almost verbatim except it was an LG phone.

Big "we already got their money, fuck 'em" energy. Made me decide to aggressively avoid all LG products going forward.

Best part was there was a bug in the version of their Android I was stuck with that would cause the phone to randomly shut off if charging overnight. I think I eventually installed a custom ROM which fixed it.

I love reading the comments on Mac Rumour articles when it's negative news for Apple's platforms or services. To paraphrase: "Vulcan bad!" "Lazy Devs!" "But they support Linux?" and "What a dumb business decision!"

Yes, Apple zealots, Valve is absolutely going to support your vendor-specific graphics API on a platform that they aren't making much money from, and will continue to support and test that platform for years, operating as a charity because they love Apple so much 😂

Can we just reallocate a chunk of the police budget to ambulances and paramedics?

I wish there was a series with Colm as Captain O'Brien! But he was in Star Trek from the TNG pilot up to the DS9 finale, I imagine he was sick of it once that finished up.

Oh damn! What kind of memory usage and open file handles does nginx typically use for this instance?

nginx can crash?!

But seriously, this instance uptime is awesome. 5 minutes late on a Friday night is barely noticeable 😀 thanks for your excellent work!

Hah. From your perspective sure, I'll give you that. I don't think subjective or objective "quality" is the sole criteria when comparing cinema, especially in this context where the article is talking about comic book movies versus the rest of cinema, but I am running on 4 hours of sleep so I wasn't as clear I could have been, sorry. In this context, from my perspective, they are inherently comparable since they are in the same genre. I think we may also have slightly different applications of "comparable" here — maybe a regional language thing?

For the record I think the couple of Marvel movies I've seen have been vapid wastes of time that could have possibly been written engineered by LLMs for maximum returns on investment. So I think we're of a similar opinion and probably on the same side here. I still think mentioning Nolan in this context is hilariously hypocritical given he made some of the biggest comic book movies ever. I get the intent behind evoking Nolan's quality filmmaking, still funny to me regardless.

That said... Your messages come across as quite antagonistic. Why is that? I mean this quite sincerely: are you doing okay? It takes so much energy to be sour all of the time — I know from experience. Feel free to message me on here if you want to shoot the shit.

They are literally comparable as they are both in the same genre this article is about. You realise Batman is a comic book character, and that the article is about comic book movies, yeah? I said nothing about the quality between the two.

It's kind of amusing that he mentioned Christopher Nolan as a possible ally in his grassroots campaign of filmmakers extolling the virtues of cinema. Christopher Nolan who made a massive comic book movie trilogy. That Christopher Nolan?

Damn, the replacement voice actors are pretty good. I would've assumed that was Justin.

They mean they're going to stick her in a freezer for 30 days, right? Right?!

Oh so you must be a very ripe peach!

But if you're a peach how are you communicating? Are you still attached to your tree? Are there other sentient peaches?

Are you really a peach?

I'm not sure what that has to do with anything? I didn't mention the emerald mine.

You get it put in and suddenly you think Musk is a sexy genius, apartheid wasn't that bad, and that Tesla cars definitely aren't trying to kill you.

a) isn't this nutbar still on YouTube, and thus not censored?

b) you shouldn't be able to profit from spreading disinformation

c) laws regarding free speech / freedom of expression do not apply to private corporations such as Youtube

d) the timing of this is trying to imply Brand being demonitised and the recent sex pest allegations are both orchestrated by the UK government

e) this article seems just as nutty as Brand

Fuck the UK government, but also fuck Russell Brand.

Nah, they're too busy running phone scams on senior citizens.

Edit: in retrospect this might come across as racist — I meant that the same people being paid to spread Indian nationalism online also probably have no problem running phone scams against other countries, and phone scam centres are de facto sanctioned by some local governments over there.
