Frugal <> Cheap.

Pons_Aelius,

If this was on the diskworld, it would be an auditor trap.

Pons_Aelius,

Piss off spammer.

Pons_Aelius,

Piss off spammer.

Pons_Aelius,

This could be a case of the Sienfeld is not funny trope

A movie or other work of media is quite revolutionary when it is released, it gets copied so much that many of its features become common in later projects. Then someone goes back to the original and thinks, Why was everyone so impressed with this?

Citizen Cane is another example.

Or:

It could be that you personally don't like the movie. Taste is not universal and not everyone likes everything.

Pons_Aelius,

The fact we are complaining about it means...

Pons_Aelius,

I'm really getting tired of every new product announcement having AI tacked on in some way.

Pons_Aelius,

US politics at the foreign policy level can change dramatically every election cycle.

Yes, they can but they don't.

Pons_Aelius,

When it comes to foreign policy there is no real difference between D and R.

R invaded Iraq on a lie.

D stayed there and kept it going.

Exactly, ever since Deng's famous "I don't care what colour a cat is, as long as it catches mice" speech in the late 1960s they have been moving away from anything that Marx would recognise.

Pons_Aelius,

He is as much a marxist and China as communist as Nth Korea is a Democratic Republic.

Not at all.

Pons_Aelius,

Chewy is standing on a lower step so all three of them are the same height.

Pons_Aelius,

Who are you calling you people?

Pons_Aelius,

Needs more clip art to really make it pop.

Pons_Aelius,

Never let a good crisis go to waste.

Pons_Aelius,

Why do I get the feeling that Netflix would be raising prices this year even if the writers and actors strikes had never happened.

This stinks of the suits using the strike as something to blame the price rise on.

Pons_Aelius,

Tried it again in a private window and it happened again...🤔🤔🤔

Pons_Aelius,

A link to a page that full screens a request for an email address on a privacy sub?

Pons_Aelius,

I'm sorry you have that and truly hope you find an effective treatment, but the vast majority of people who are sleep deprived do not suffer from medically induced insomnia.

Pons_Aelius,

That sucks. My guess is that they were happy you had replaced their parents in this role.

Pons_Aelius,

Now that is what I call setting firm boundaries.

Pons_Aelius,

I know you are not serious but you cannot make up sleep debt. Crashing like this on the weekends just makes it worse.

Pons_Aelius,

But they were still able to pass the responsibility of getting up at the right time to you.

Pons_Aelius,

I don't doubt it.

I remember reading experiments where being awake for 24 hours impacts the ability to drive more than a blood alcohol level of 0.05 and by 36 hours it is 0.15.

Pons_Aelius,

Better option, go old school.

Don't use your phone alarm, buy an alarm clock. One with a very loud alarm that does not stop until you turn it off.

Place in your room as far away from the bed as possible, so that you have to get out to turn it off.
