I had to specifically mute all of my notifications because I couldn’t find out what app was causing them and it was driving me nuts.

I’ve been doing that for years. I only have a handful of apps with audio notifications, basically the most important ones that need my attention right away. Everything else gets vibrate.

Looking forward to summer blockbuster hit Cocaine Shark.

There is crossover potential with Deep Blue Sea.

I think this is about it coming out of Early Access?

The developer published this trailer on March 15. Looks like they’ve made a channel for the game specifically and republished it there.

I’d hate to hear the logic they used to change that law

It was wrapped up in a big transportation budget bill, one of many amendments which were designed to cut expenses.

a Red Storm Rising movie adaptation

This being one of my absolute favorite military fiction novels, I very much fear Hollywood screwing it up. At the same time, I’d love to see a miniseries, maybe directed by Ridley Scott.

Is this the one where they used footage of New York instead of London?

Yep. From the article:

Issued by Conservative Central Office (CCHQ), it has already been edited and re-uploaded after viewers spotted that one of the dystopian-looking scenes it depicted was of the New York subway rather than the London Tube.

FYI your link is slightly broken.

McConnell endorses Trump for president. He once blamed Trump for ‘disgraceful’ Jan. 6, 2021, attack (apnews.com)

With McConnell’s endorsement of Trump, it gives the green light to other remaining skeptical Republicans — and the deep-pocketed donors who fuel campaigns — to fall in line despite any reservations they may have about a return to the Trump era....

Remembering that one time McConnell filibustered himself because he knew he wouldn’t be able to pull off a power play against Obama.

Named for Johns Hopkins, who got his first name from his mother’s maiden name.

(Constructively) What is your least favorite distro & why?

I’ve been distrohopping for a while now, and eventually I landed on Arch. Part of the reason I have stuck with it is I think I had a balanced introduction, since I was exposed to both praise and criticism. We often discuss our favorite distros, but I think it’s equally important to talk about the ones that didn’t quite hit...

What a weird thing to say. I’ve always heard it described as one of the best TOS films and I always found the ending quite an emotional and fitting send-off to the TOS crew.

His feelings might be related to his plan for the sixth film involving the TOS crew being forcibly retired and then slaughtered.

In a real job, sometimes we need to get something done TODAY, or even 3 hours from right now.

I work third shift and it’s so much worse in this case. I walk in the door at 10 PM to an email saying I have to do a training module that takes an hour, and it has to show completed before midnight. Then they wonder why I wasn’t able to get my work area set up and make progress on a long term project in that same time frame.

Technically, the new flag doesn’t come into use for another 5 months or so, assuming the legislature doesn’t stop it.

This is starting to sound like The Good Place with extra steps…

Minnesota panel chooses new state flag featuring North Star to replace old flag seen as racist (apnews.com)

Minnesota’s new state flag should feature an eight-pointed North Star against a dark blue background shaped like the state, with a solid light blue field at the right, a special commission decided Tuesday as it picked a replacement for an older design that many Native Americans considered offensive....

I remember reading another factor is that food which people donate is often expired, nearly expired, or undesirable and unlikely to be used before it expires, so often ends up getting thrown away anyway.

Just buy a TV and don’t connect the wi-fi for the smart capability

Some of these TVs will find an unsecured network within range to connect to, so they can still bombard you with ads.

And (in my experience) they’re still slow as hell. I press “power on” and have to go pour a drink or something while I wait for it to boot up, as if I’m warming up a radio in the 1930s.

Yes but, how did people know that time went sunwise before the sun?

Just going to point out that convicting and jailing him does not disqualify him from holding office, and would likely just embolden his base.

Iirc there’s the belief involved that if the dog suffers it makes the meat taste better. So at many farms they are often tortured before death and killed in painful ways.

Do you have any sources on this? Not doubting you, I’m just genuinely curious.

Never seen or heard from anyone using tape to mask their remotes. Is this really a thing?

Not this exactly, but my grandparents had a guide taped to the backside of their remotes to make it easier to use.

The tape strategy has some appeal, though, mainly in that I use maybe 5 buttons 95% of the time.

Ok but why is the thumbnail a scene from Midsommar…

Probably because the leading image is taken from Midsommar.
