Kbin does that sometimes

If I have to have microplastics in my balls, then the fish do too dammit!

Probably technically, but I can almost guarantee you they quite literally couldn’t care less about two brothers sharing an account. They’re more worried about large groups sharing an account.

Ones here in the states vary a lot from place to place. Some places have absolutely everything, books, movies, games, tools, makerspaces (or at least 3d printers), computers etc.

But most city libraries outside if your big big ones are still relatively small. My local one is about the size of a small grocery store, real modest. Damn do the workers there pour their hearts and souls into it though, they’re always hosting events and stuff. Really appreciate our library workers. Main benefit is getting access to their network, which generally gets you a whole host of other stuff. Ebook rentals, audio book rentals, book transfers, etc.

It’s a shame what the GoP is trying to do to the American library system.

They’re solid generic blockbuster action-ish movies. They’re not amazing, but they’re fun enough that I think they’re worth a watch if you can’t decide what to watch one night.

Everyone in general

I know it’s kinda cheating to bring them up in this context, but the Swiss manage to run trains to very small towns just fine

Yup, it’s better for when it’s gonna be sitting

Emulation when I was younger (and to a lesser extent now. I own the vast majority of old consoles/games I have any interest in playing these days). These days it’s near exclusively TV/Movies and pretty much entirely because of convenience. Between myself and the others in my household, we have near every streaming service, I just can’t be fucked to figure out which one what I want to watch is on.

I really need to get around to turning my old pc into a media server.

I think survivorship bias plays into it as well. Yeah, most the stuff on the radio today is kinda meh. Most the stuff on the radio in those days was kinda meh too. All the meh songs got forgotten, and you only remember the bangers. You’ve already seen it happen to 00s music and we’re watching it happen with the 10s.

But yeah, it’s wild how many people look at how accessible different types of music are now and just… don’t go looking.

In a pretty short span of time no less.

I’ve definitely had 16 drinks in a day before, just spread out over, yknow, most that day.

Car bad, train good

I fucking hate stroads

If we’re going old school, go old school. Oldest kid rides in the bed.

Russia could’ve, y’know, just not done an illegal invasion of Ukraine.

While true, the general cultural preference for larger vehicles will inherently carryover to when people are deciding what EV to buy.

Anyone who’s name is an anagram for The Reptile invalidates your entire premise…

You don’t know even know my real name, I’m the fucking Lizard King

There’s plenty of tech from my younger days that was fun then that I wouldn’t find fun now. An original iPod is not one of those.

Sure, if you use it for an hour a day, you’re not gonna notice it much. And I’m not disagreeing that a lot of the software sorely needs to be improved. The people who are going to notice aren’t you. They’re the ones using their devices all day for work or similar.

Hoping they have success, but to say that their laptop chips are truly mainstream, at least in the same sense that Apple gives, is a bit generous I feel.

Obviously the X series has a decent shot at changing that, which I really hope it does.

I like keeping tabs on it, as they’re really the only ones pushing mainstream high end ARM chips at the moment.
