Dang. That blows. This is a really good show. Smart, innovative, well acted, and based on Gibson's best-selling material. It just kills me how adaptations of his works seem to always whither on the vine. Also sad that every show that doesn't hit super-mega streamed numbers just gets tossed in the bin.

What's the ROI on ads anyway? I feel like ads are just a way to funnel money between corps. People who are forced to see ads are really not even the point anymore. This is like corporations subsidizing other corporations. Don't even matter that you buy that item being shown to you.

@braingetter is Caleb Pitts from Podcast About Lists. He's a comedian and this is 100% irony. He is making fun of people who think like this.

Thats cool. Since these forever chemicals are already inside us and all throughout our environment, forever, I guess they don't need to add them to fast food anymore. šŸ‘šŸ¾

The thing is, it's only a ROI if any of those passengers converts to a buyer. The act of seeing an ad creates no value for the manufacturer unless they are converted to a buyer. What you are describing is a market that has the consumer (ad watcher) almost completely removed from the conversion of capital. Being forced to watch an ad, in this case, only benefits the airline by their receiving ad revenue. The passengers are nearly supflourous.

Been using it on a fedora workstation and a Debian server for 2 years and it has been stable and amazing for backups and regressions. So fast and easy to use. I use timeshift to handle organizing and scheduled backups.

FWIW, I set up these distros to separate my home directory from the OS, so backups aren't clogged with random files in my /home directory. I use Pika Backup to handle the /home directories to a separate backup site.

It's basically automated, reliable, and sooo fast. Love it.

FashSantis is a POS. But the sad truth is that Arts funding is sparse and threadbare everywhere. And attitudes about the importance of art in our lives is at an all time low. Now with the last few career opportunities getting smothered from existence by crap AI gen stuff, it's hard to believe anyone really gives a shit about art whatever state they are from. We never use the phrase Starving Hedge fund manager, or starving sysadmin, but far more people are a-ok talking about starving artists.
What will be interesting is the fact that Miami is a major fine art hub. This is going to piss off wealthy art owners much more than some artist trying to scrounge together a living off increasingly dwindling art grants.

Modern cars are the epitome of feature creep. They have overladen these machines with overly complex systems that are all cascading points of failure.

I do not fear monsters under my bed or in my darkened closet, nor do I fear retirement, which is just as imaginary.

Of course it is, but it's not their voices we will hear, it's the voices of museum directors loosing massive subsidies. I don't mean to imply that individual artists won't be hurt, that's already a given, I'm just saying media won't focus attention on them.

After seeing Monster 2003, I remember leaving the theater feeling gut-punched. After reading about the constant child abuse Aileen Wuornos suffered as a kid, it was hard reconciling the path her life took. Charlieze Theron did a masterful portrayal of a broken person grasping at straws for a bit of authentic compassion. It's no wonder Wuornos was such a mess.
