I'm late to the party here, but since I didn't see it mention elsewhere, I'll throw up unbreakable with Bruce Willis. given his health conditions, it won't happen with him but it might be able to happen with somebody else in his place.

I feel like that movie established some solid characters and a somewhat unique case of the every man turned superhero. The whole idea of him just being able to touch someone and then get a glimpse into their hidden life was really cool. Plus there was the relationship with his son, bad guy suffering from that brittle bone disease to contrast with Bruce Willis's character being, well, unbreakable. it was a good setup I thought for a whole series of films.

excellent point!

totally agree in principle. my edc of choice has been the Leatherman skeletool for the last 5 years. pliers, Phillips and flat head and blade have been the perfect combination to balance portability and utility

ditto. also keep one on each side of the miter saw and at the table saw to use the eraser side as an 11th finger when needed

zoltan kaszas.

very strong on the fly and always has new material, usually relevant to wherever he's performing

never understood the hate he gets. I saw that special he did and I really didn't see anything disturbing.

hysterical and a great human despite difficult circumstances

did you mean Ron White?

that guy is hysterical

come to the US - free sauce packets!

just ignore the chasm of wealth disparity, growing nationalism and maybe being a bullet proof vest. wait... you're not dark skinned, are you?

I know this post didn't coin the term 'enshitification", but it really is a great way to describe the monetization of everything that was once good on the internet

I thought he looked a lot like Chris Farley!

Jews call that sadaka. it's one of the ideas I remember fondly from my early years

many people come back from near death experiences with insight about the whole structure of the universe. one common theme they report is that we all chose the lives we're living because these lives offered the best opportunity to learn and grow. they say we come back many times until we learn everything we need to.

so, if true, the downside is that you and I will probably be back. but, the upside is that we won't keep coming back forever and that we can curtail the number of times we will return by being the best people we can and by learning as much as we can.

I've always had a niggling worry that downloading apps from 3rd party app stores came with a higher risk of getting apps with viruses and spyware.

any truth to this?

any thoughts on some other sort of remote data backup just in case of fire, water damage, etc? years ago I moved is off of our nas for this reason but at this point on I'm really not happy with Googles process and crappy photos software. I wouldn't mind moving back to NAS with some cheaper no frills remote backup just in case

I'm a fan of the WHY FILES. hit a similar genre as what you seem to like

yep, same here.

which brings up another good suggestion (since I haven't seen it yet)... AvE. https://youtube.com/@arduinoversusevil2025. if you like smart, irreverent commentary on tool build quality and other similar stuff, this cannuk is freaking hysterical. and, I must say, quite informative

more empathy

cue the adrenaline......
