Dunno. I've got it on Blu-ray... that's... 4k...? I'm not sure.

Traditions! That's what it's called! Couldn't for the life of me remember.

Where'd you work? I was a monorail pilot down in Orlando.

Sorry, was drunk when writing that. Meant it to be implied that this is what companies tell their employees about why they do it.

I'm registered unaffiliated because I'm an anarchist. Still voting though.

There's all these iconic photos of Walt Disney where he's pointing at stuff with a two finger point. I've heard that some within the company say that this is the example by which their resort employees always use the two finger point to direct guests.

In reality, he was holding a cigarette and the photos have been airbrushed. He died of lung cancer in 1966. Pointing with two fingers is just seen (kind of universally across cultures) as being non-accusatory. Like, say you saw someone talking to someone else and you cannot hear them (or it's in a language you don't understand); they're pointing with one finger in your direction, you may be inclined to think they're talking about you. If they're using the two finger point, you're less likely to think that... it's the same for airliner flight crew.

"Alien" (1979) still gets me every time I watch it. The slow build, the pops of horror, the delectable suspense of the Big Chap hunting. I know every scare, every moment of terror, every death by heart... but it still gets my circulatory system going. All other home invasion/haunted house movies can go home, Alien nailed it.

I haven't seen polling specifically for her district but, while Georgia is very purple (and has been since like 2014), her district is gerrymandered to hell and back to not be anything other than red. I think I saw that it's one of the deepest red districts in the country.

You want to address the current set of big problems by ... creating more big problems to address.

Right. There's already a shitload of big problems.

Who cares what MAGA adherents believe... you don't try to get the hard-core, brainwashed followers, they've already committed themselves. However, the undecided voter will see it as the GOP floundering, unable to govern.

Please shut the government down... please, please, please... while your party controls a mere one half of one of a branch of the government, please shut the government down during an election cycle. Please, please, please do it.

So glad the Europeans finally broke Apple and their ridiculous charger shenanigans. A coworker just got a new iPhone and asked me if I had an iPhone charger, I told them no all Ive got is USB C. They said they didn't know what they had and showed me the bottom of their phone and, sure enough, it's USB C. They had no idea that only Apple kept making their own charge connector and that basically everyone else had settled on one charger/data port like two or three standards ago.
