Saw this FDR quote last week: "Do something. If it works, do more of it. If it doesn't, do something else."
Thorne doesn't work, at least not with the offense and gameplay run last week. I'm ready for the "something else"
I've worked in two U.S. buildings with Both ground and first floors. The buildings were built into a hill so street level entered the first floor, but parking entered the ground floor. Very easy to get confused until you figure it out.
Yeah. I felt the same about "No Longer Allowed in Another Word" at first, but it grew on me. I think it took about four episodes to establish itself.
It is also the origin of the anime "wow" sound effect. https://soundeffects.fandom.com/wiki/Anime_Wow_Sound
Changes could have so many repercussions even well meaning actions could make things worse. The safer bet would be to collect lost books and art.
That said, stopping the Lincoln assassination is tempting. I'd hope to change reconstruction to better wipe out the confederacy, prevent lost cause doctrine, and better integrate former slaves into full citizenship and society.
VR - It has been through a few hype cycles, but never quite makes it. Cost, weight, battery life (or tethers), lack of highly desirable games, required floor space, nausea (in some people), etc.
Starlink - when announced it sounded like the solution to ISP monopolies and rural broadband access. But the roll out was so slow that other solutions have caught up. For people with no option other than satellite internet, it is still great (if they can get it) but for a lot of people, better options now exist.
Robber to victim: ok, let's compromise. Give me half your money and I'll only stab you a little.
The "media" has spent the last week setting the bar so low that when Trump comes out hopped up on stimulants, nothing in the debate itself will matter, and he will get a huge boost from simply not appearing as old as Biden did.
I'm not optimistic about the debate. Any publicity tends to work in Trump's favor as his fans and the complicit news media will gloss over any mistakes while magnifying even the slightest gaff by Harris.
Trump falls asleep - media: he's working so hard for us he is exhausted.
Harris pauses for a second before answering - media: did Harris have a mini-stroke? What is she hiding about her health?
One second ago I put a dollar on my dresser. That's on pace to be 30 million in a year.
Same here only it was 20 years ago. UML professor was convinced it would replace programming.
