More like what 23 years does to a man who was on the verge of middle-age.

Any ~~acting~~ student would take the 100 gladly.

Sorry, someone else already has the job. Thanks for your application though!

They couldn't before they fired them either, so not a lot has changed. Their "fact checkers" were poorly written algorithms that frequently flagged benign content as misinformation.

Honestly, with the power these companies have now, it could realistically be all 3 of your options, and they would still profit immensely and face no accountability.

We don't make these decisions. It's unsurprising that the people who do make them have given themselves all of the money.

I wanted to be a pilot very badly. I was told that the good paying pilot jobs would die with the previous generation of pilots. I was told that airlines don't need to pay good money for pilots anymore. So, it's no surprise that there's a shortage of people who were willing and able to sacrifice the incredible amount of money and time required to become a commercial pilot. The airline executives very much made their own mess.

Not here you're not. There are laws against open containers in the car. Where is that legal?

What's more likely is that nobody will ever see or use your community.

Ha! That's pretty good, and probably very accurate.

 

It's about some veterinarians in the 30's. It's slow, doesn't have any sex, violence, or profanity. It's wholesome. It's filmed in the absolutely gorgeous Yorkshire Dales. We love it and have already watched 2.5 seasons in 3 nights.

 

I looked into fixing it and it'll cost almost $300. I refuse to spend any money to fix a stupid Samsung. So, my wife wants a new refrigerator made by an actual reputable appliance company, but I don't want to spend $3000. So we just live without ice, and I anticipate this will be our life until the refrigerator stops working completely.

A genie appears before you and says you must choose to be very physically attractive, but slightly below average intelligence, or very intelligent, but slightly below average attractiveness? Which would you choose, and why?

 

AFAIK it has always been this way. I don't think I've been banned from an entire instance, but who knows? If I have, I wasn't told about it. Do they only allow interaction from people registered to their instance?

 

We've pretty much completely discounted astrology as having any meaningful impact on a person's personality. But what about the seasons of the year, and the weather that comes with them? The stars position in the sky are an indication of the seasons on earth. Right? Wouldn't a baby that is born into a world of sunshine and warmth have a different early development than one born into the cold and darkness of winter? Has any research been done on the impacts of a baby's environmental conditions on their personality?

 

I know that lions can be scared away when they see humans approaching without fear, but what if they're ambushed? How about a tiger, or a polar bear? If I manage to sneak up on one of these apex predators, and jump out, screaming, and running at it, will it run? Or will it just turn around and kill me? I guess I'm wondering if apex predators have a fight or flight reflex, and how strong it is if they do. Do they tend to resort to fighting more often if they're the baddest tiger in the jungle vs the runt of the litter? Do they quickly assess the threat and respond accordingly, or does a flight instinct kick in and send them running?

 

We all know the outcome of the investigation into his island, with his eventual arrest and death. But what became of his staff? You don't run an operation that large without the help of dozens, or hundreds of people. Most of those people were accomplices to multiple felonies. I'm sure there were a few who didn't know what sort of operation they were a part of, but many must have. I don't remember reading about any other arrests other than his. Were there other arrests, and if so, how many? What about his suppliers? The gangs that would sell him slaves, and the human traffickers who smuggled the victims? Did they all get off Scott free?

 

We watched this last night and it's definitely the best movie we've seen all year, probably the last few years.

Viggo Mortensen was nominated for Best Actor for his performance in this movie and it's apparent why. He completely disappears into the role, with no remnant of Aragorn, or Captain Fantastic anywhere on screen. You forget who you are even watching.

Mahershala Ali did win an Academy Award for his performance, which is reserved, powerful, intriguing, and believable all at once. I've only seen Ali portray villains before, and I had forgotten about my previous conception of him within the first few scenes.

The chemistry between the two actors is remarkable, and they play off each other very well throughout the movie. We found the movie to have a perfect blend of seriousness, humor, heartbreak, and triumph. The script is great, the acting superb, the directing stellar, and the music is flat out amazing.

The movie doesn't pull punches with the overt racism of the South during that era. The pair - genius musician, and street smart bodyguard - encounter multiple dangerous situations. They save each other, both literally and figuratively, throughout the movie.

Overall I can't praise this movie enough. It is an outstanding accomplishment, and deserved every award that it won. Check it out!

 

Newpipe hasn't worked on my Android for several days now. Has YouTube blocked the app, or did an update break it?

 

I've been using Arch on an old laptop for a few years now, but I use Pop on my gaming desktop. I've wanted to switch to Arch for a long while now, but haven't had the motivation (if it ain't broke, and all that). I'm finally ready to do it, but I'm a little concerned about my gaming experience. Are there any gotchas for gaming with an i7 and a 3070 ti that I should be aware of before I make the switch? Is it pretty seamless? Can I still use a freesync monitor with the g-sync compatibility setting? Is it easy to install the Nvidia drivers and well documented on the wiki? I'm open to information about any other sticky scenarios you guys encountered getting Arch set up for use as a daily driver and gaming computer.

Edit: is there any way to backup my internal drive mappings and mounting points, or will I need to set all of that up again?

I've only ever used Gnome for Arch, but one of the things that has me motivated to switch is that KDE 6 supports HDR. Does anyone have experience with it? Is it a pretty slick and simple DE?
