It seemed like a cash grab from the trailer and yet you paid to see it in the movie theater, and helped it set a record, which is what this article is about.

How about instead of deleting, you edit the comment so it's taken completely out of context. Nonsense words, random poems, list of colors, etc.

It was so embarrassing watching the dinosaurs running the US government interview Zuck over privacy when they had no idea how Facebook as a business worked. We really need a tech task force that consists of people who are computer-literate.

Whenever I get a new computer I install these right away.

Used everyday:

  • Alfred: customizable productivity tool. It's a launcher, file searcher, web searcher, clipboard manager, snippet manager, script runner, etc with a robust community making scripts.

  • Textpander: a text replacer I've been using before Apple's and Alfred's solutions.

  • Bettertouchtool: customize keyboard and trackpad shortcuts

  • Notational Velocity/nVALT + Obsidian: note taking synced across my devices. NValt for quick notes while Obsidian is for long form and personal knowledge management. Just plain text files in a communal vault somewhere.

  • Dropbox: mainly used to sync settings for apps and notes across devices.

  • 1Password: password generation and management for me and my girlfriend. A little pricey, but I love it. been researching alternatives.

Also handy:

  • Better Rename 9: rename files. Replace characters or strings, add in number sequencing, convert casing, etc. I have a lot of photos and work with a lot of images so this comes in handy

  • Copyqueue: file copy. Enables a queue for file copy.

  • Hidden Bar: menu bar management

For my watch:

  • App in the Air: is a nice airport companion that visually shows the airplane phases (boarding, flight duration) with accompanying info (like gates and delays)

I'm just reposting local news stories to my local community. It ain't much, but it's something.

I would donate money to a video game museum that housed a copy of every single game and console in existence.

The games and consoles are for looking at while there are playing stations with emulators to sample the games. The game art alone would make it worth it.

I always wanted to see a visual timeline of all game consoles lined up in a row to see evolution of design over the years. From disks to carts to cds.

Would not describe Kamala as "energizing"...but at least she's trying. I live in SF and barely get any Kamala news. What has she been up to as VP?

Defund the extreme Republicans! Your donors and sponsors are telling you:

  • climate change is real
  • the election wasn't stolen
  • we need stronger gun laws

The subreddit I visit the most is r/nba. With it being the off-season, it's really easy for me to use Reddit less and less every day. Those twats left a bad taste in my mouth anyways. They all protested the mods after not participating in the blackout survey and then proceeded to call the mods names for 2 days and then business back to normal.

Having nowhere to discuss the league championships during the blackout, they started their own sub r/nbatalk. A handful will never go back, but we will see how long that lasts. The majority of r/nba are shitposters anyways.

I've done just about everything and I'm just about to take on Lavos.

I started playing Chrono Trigger+ because of all the posts I saw on r/sbcgaming. Seeing as how it's my fav game of all time, I decided to play it again (guesstimating for the 9th time since playing it as a kid).

My notes on my experience this time around.

  • so amazing to be able to take screenshots, like a modern console
  • the menu system still holds up. swapping people out of your party and moving items between party members is very smooth (some of these older games are REALLY bad)
  • I did some fast forwarding to speed up battles. The live battle system makes this a little challenging sometimes
  • the music in Zeal still slaps
  • CT+ has a bar/cafe area in the End of Time not in the original game
  • graphics still look amazing like they did back in the day.
