There’s plenty of good used stainless flatware out there. Older stuff found at estate sales is frequently better quality and cheaper than buying new at department stores.

Computer circuits based on light instead of electricity.

Apple will happy replace your device battery for around $90 to $200. It’s not like it’s impossible to do.

Just had some of the worst “store brand” honey mustard. How do you mess that up? Tasted like they watered it down by adding extra vinegar. Watery. Gross tasting. Lesson Learned.

Every accusation is a confession.

Oh look, it’s Ted “I don’t know anything about Iran” Cruz.

Stories like this always leave out things like indoor hydroponics and sites like the plastic tents in Spain providing a huge swath of produce in Europe.

“System Collapse” (book 7). It was later in the series and it just felt like the second half of one of the books or something. Like filler, or a book written to fulfill a contract.

A lot of people are watching it, but I ducked out after episode two. I read the books and I felt like it was overly broad in comparison.

The TV adaptation rushes through the story, and doesn’t take its characters seriously. The books aren’t really a broad comedy like the show. For example, the books were more respectful of gender and sexuality. It wasn’t played for laughs except as the bot’s perspective of how he didn’t relate to it or understand the point of it. Same with a lot of the other characteristics of the humans. The humans in the book aren’t actually bumbling idiots, that’s just how the bot perceives them. I felt like the show was missing the point.

I did enjoy how the tv show portrayed “sanctuary moon” though.

If you haven’t read the books, I recommend them. There’s only like one real clunker in the set.

I’m reminded of all the rural voters in Texas that vehemently didn’t want “private school vouchers”… but voted Republican anyway.

They’ll probably get jobs in other countries now. The brain drain caused by this administration is going to hurt this country for years to come.

Being a session musician and being a ”star” are completely different. Session musicians aren’t required to sing and dance, stay fit, do interviews, go on tour, do press junkets.

Both session musicians and pop stars can be talented at what they do.

Look for a stereo plug aux-in port on the car’s stereo. You can get a Bluetooth receiver that will plug into that if there’s no usb input built into the car. This will let you listen to music, audiobooks, podcasts, etc from your phone using your car speakers.

This also works with turn by turn navigation prompts that come from the phone.

Just remember to keep your phone plugged into a charger on your trip so that using it this way doesn’t drain the battery.

Spotted her recently on an old Tonys broadcast someone captured when she was just starting out. Super talented lady!

A lot of that R&D comes from grants and universities as well as tax incentives and write offs.

The fact that this list says there’s no ketamine in his system, makes it super suspicious.

Overalls are awesome. Especially when worn by a handsome guy without a shirt underneath.

There are mentions of beards, full public bush, overly white teeth, and tats. This thread isn’t just about women.

It’s strange that this has made a comeback. It was a thing in the 1960s. And it’s a pain in the ass.

I think fake eyelashes can look flattering on older people when they are done right. As you age, your lids start to droop and your eye sockets recede. Fake eyelashes can help provide better definition in those cases.
