  • And I'd trust the guy who created Ted Lasso and Shrinking to do what it takes to make the worth watching.

    And Scrubs. The original show itself. He created it. He's not some rando taking over.

    But honestly, Bill Lawrence has single-handedly built up the comedydrama side of Apple TV+. Ted Lasso, Shrinking, Bad Monkey... All great shows. And I don't even care about football normally.

    I'll take this one with a grain of salt instead of the usual salt mountain. It's still a reboot. But it looks like they're also getting at least some of the other cast members back too. Mostly I'm hoping for Cox and Kelso. Carla and Janitor are apparently semi-confirmed? And I think Jordan is more or less confirmed considering the actress is literally married to Bill Lawrence and actively takes part in his projects.

  • Basically, read it as "you should kill yourself if you're not exactly where your ancestors lived 10000 years ago". That's what these people seem to think, they just don't want to say the quiet part out loud.

    I live in a country where we have a very large amount of Russians, many of whom completely lack citizenship because they moved here during the soviet occupation so didn't get automatic Estonian citizenship after our independence, but also haven't gotten Estonian or Russian citizenship after the fact. This number has decreased over the years because most people have acquired some citizenship, but we still have tens of thousands with no state at all. I can't imagine simply deporting all of those people. In fact, we're now giving out citizenship to children of non-citizen parents who have lived in the country for at least 5 years, to avoid creating more stateless people. This is despite the fact that a lot of those people getting citizenship are also the descendants of settlers, with roots in a country hostile to our own. Those people's entire lives are here, who are we to uproot them just because we were here first? It's too late now.

  • The US actually heavily tariffs foreign-made vehicles that could skirt the CAFE requirements the way American trucks do. Light trucks suffer the Chicken Tax and can only be made in Canada, US or Mexico to bypass that. Been that way since the UAW boss asked LJB to do something about the German imports growing.

  • Java 8 to 21 + spring boot 2 to 3 brought the need to change a lot of dependencies, but often they were drop-in replacements. That was mostly Jakarta stuff. On the Spring side, a lot of things we used were deprecated, but that was not related to the Java version.

    Did not take a huge amount of time to upgrade anyway. But maybe our systems weren't the most complex in the first place, a lot of our applications were pretty small.

  • Oh we have an appropriate joke for this too. A few decades old now, looking at the names.

    After their deaths, Bush and Putin are frozen. 50 years later, technology has advanced and both are revived.

    Putin opens a newspaper and starts laughing. "What's so funny?", Bush inquires. Putin shows him the headline: "America is communist"

    Bush opens another newspaper, starts laughing even harder, literally jumping around the room. Putin, unable to believe that anything could be funnier than communism in the US, grabs the paper and nearly faints after seeing the headline: "Unrest on Estonian-Chinese border"
