Is this a reference to Devo’s favorite Devo song? https://youtu.be/SMhwddNQSWQ

I guess I’m also still confused by the hate for Lower Decks. That was my favorite Star Trek show since TNG.
Do we know enough about Starfleet Academy to hate it? I like the genre of show it seems to be and love the idea of such a thing in the Star Trek universe. Why are all the teenage melodrama shows always in a magical/vampire setting? Why not SciFi? Clearly my perspective isn’t the majority of the current Star Trek audience, but why not broaden that audience and welcome new fans to the tent?
41·2 months agoThat’s literally the point of the entire show. Aside from the title implying that, the first paragraph spells it out:
For the last several years Netflix has been quietly banking episodes of a new show called Famous Last Words, interviews with famous people entering their twilight years. The catch is that episodes will only air after the subject passes away. The full list of interviewees is a closely guarded secret, but last week Netflix quietly posted the premiere episode featuring Jane Goodall.

Also, if there is a restriction at the firmware level, I suspect the reasoning would be as more of a safety measure to prevent excessive motor wear or battery drain.
Pretty sure racist police have been around as long as police, which predates 1992 by a few centuries.
Look at this guy, knowing a week before he needs a hole.
That ground looks so satisfying to dig in. Like it would actually yield to a shovel. I’ve spent my entire life in Southern California and our ground is hard, dry, and filled with rocks.

8·4 months agoThe audiobook is also quite good. It’s fully cast, so each section is voiced by a new actor who writes the letters in the collection.
Why does this graph not show total registrations? Fuck the Democratic Party. They’ve dropped the ball consistently for too long. I only hope that enough leftists continue to vote in any races that survive this administration.
A student spiked a teacher’s drink with acid. The morning of that day, the kid that got arrested told me he wanted to fight me after school for talking to a girl he liked.

It’s crazy how predictive this 1990 B-Movie was about our graduating class: https://youtu.be/3w-ph46XYWQ
I grew up in the 80s in a Southern California suburb. All the neighborhood kids used the transformer box as a meeting place. My first kiss was absolutely at one that looked really similar to this. I haven’t thought about Becky C. in decades.
Another transformer box story:
Before helicopter parenting was standard, folks used to let their kids wander around the neighborhood pretty much as soon as they could talk. All the kids watched each other. 12 year olds hanging out with 4 year olds. When I was part of the older kids group, we had convinced the younger kids (the ones that couldn’t yet read) that the transformer box was actually a trap that housed an electrical monster, thanks to this Mr. Ouch sticker:
I’m pretty sure the recent release of Ghostbusters had influenced this story and the acceptance of it.
The German words on the sign in the background support your observation
This Reddit post from 2018 appears to be the same sign from a different angle
The one in my yard was inside a green plastic dome with a lock connecting the dome to a collar around the base… only the entire thing was connected to the ground with a thin wooden stake. We just lifted the entire covering out of the ground, still locked. Unscrew the filter, free HBO!
It’s not just the obsoleteness of it, it’s the fact that any device that is on the other end of the TV’s HDMI cable would need to be actively routing internet traffic into the HDMI connection. What device would do that? Any device that’s using the TV as output for itself has no reason to also include network access.
