FlexibleToast,

These are things that need a subscription, though… These are remote features that require internet connectivity and application serving. Things that don’t just come with a one-time fee. These are actual services being provided by Kia or Hyundai. This isn’t the same as putting a hardware feature of your car behind an arbitrary pay wall.

FlexibleToast,

Palpatine coming back wasn’t even an interesting premise though.

FlexibleToast,

None of it is good except for parts of season 1 of The Mandalorian.

You meant to say, Andor. Andor is easily the standout in that crowd.

FlexibleToast,

I used one with Fedora for a while. The problem I had is whenever it would randomly disconnect, Fedora could not handle it gracefully. It would lock up the system and require a hard reboot. Windows has been a bit more graceful about things. I’m hoping the next generation or maybe oculink will be better.

FlexibleToast,

Honestly, Halloween is becoming as bad as Christmas. Just like the Christmas season is far too long, I’ve noticed Halloween is creeping longer and longer. It has a long way to go before it’s at Christmas levels, but during the Halloween season, it is starting to feel just as pervasive. Halloween themed decorations, movies, parties, etc… Halloween to Millenials feels a lot like Christmas was to Boomers. Always chasing that dream of bigger, better, perfect.

FlexibleToast,

My company gives the entire Dec 24 - Jan 1st off. It’s like a free week of vacation, and it’s awesome.

FlexibleToast,

That hope died 9/11/2001.

FlexibleToast, (edited )

This is the same crap Boomers said about Millenials.

What is your unpopular flim opinion

I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

FlexibleToast,

And the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movie. The sad fact is that these are the exceptions that prove the rule.

FlexibleToast,

It was a movie that was fun because of just how dumb it was. Even in its time, it was a very love or hate it movie. It all depends on if you like that style of Ben Stiller comedy.

FlexibleToast,

It’s right in the Javascript… What more do you need to research?

FlexibleToast,

From my understanding, Sam Altman is the one pursuing profits, and the non-profit board is the one that was overseeing it being done “safely.” If this is the case, it is the non-profit board that should be rallied for.

FlexibleToast,

But that’s what this is. OpenAI is both for-profit and non-profit. It has a profit arm that made the huge deal with Microsoft and ensures research continues, but there is the non-profit board that oversees them to make sure it’s done “safely.” If when the non-profit board makes a correction it gets immediately dismantled, then it was all for show and really the profit side is actually unchecked.

FlexibleToast,

Severance and Silo you mean. Foundation has been partly great and partly terrible. Any plotline with Brother Day has been fantastic. The others have been weak or, in the case of Salvor, terrible. Overall, the foundation is worth a watch, but it is not phenomenal, in my opinion. Not like the other shows.

FlexibleToast,

I’m a Star Trek fan, but don’t know who Kevin is. But are you mistaking Kevin for the Kelvin timeline? Are those actually the same thing? I’m going to have to do some research now.

FlexibleToast,

I’ve never had a cat that wants people food, and I think it’s because of just showing them what it is and then taking it away.

FlexibleToast,

Not to make them feel included, but to kill their curiosity. I always offer a smell of my food to my cat and then take it away. She gets to smell it and realize it’s something she isn’t interested in. I think that’s the reason she doesn’t bother people while they’re eating. She knows she isn’t interested in “people food.”

FlexibleToast,

That’s not the An225, that’s an An124 with a similar paint job. You can tell by the tail. It tricked me at first too.

FlexibleToast,

There are a bunch of these around. In my old city we had two nearby. One was nice kind of like this, one was just a grass field out by cornfields.

FlexibleToast,

Because this is a small general aviation field. This is for doctors flying their Cirrus SR22 in and out of. You might be surprised how many airfields are probably around you and how many of those are just a strip of grass with some hangers off to the side.

FlexibleToast,

Yeah, exactly. Fight the good fight, but know your enemy. Your enemy is not your doctor.

FlexibleToast,

That depends on the doctor. Not all are paid the same. Plastic surgeons get paid huge dollars for a lot of frivolous work. I’m with you there. But a brain surgeon or a heart surgeon… They deserve the big bucks. I don’t care at all that they can afford a German car and a small general aviation plane. I care more about the working class not being able to afford a decent new car and the billionaire that has to decide which super car to drive that day.

FlexibleToast,

You can get a Cessna 172 or even some nice Mooneys for around $50k. Unlike cars, even really old ones are kept in good running order because parts time out and have to be regularly maintained. Even if you want to buy a newer plane, a lot of people in GA use fractional ownership. That $200k newish Cirrus SR22 is fairly likely owned by 4 people splitting the bill. GA isn’t cheap by any measure, but it also isn’t exclusively for the wealthy. Upper middle class can get into it without too much issue. The people we should be raising everyone to, not tearing down.

FlexibleToast,

These people are rich, but they’re not the wealthy. These are your doctor types, not your billionaires. Doctors are paid well for sure, but they should be paid well.
