Ohtani was holding him back

In a world where Valve controls 90% of what is running on a device with immutable / containerized images, yeah I think Arch makes a lot more sense. A distro focused on rolling release is a lot less likely to hang you up when you choose to update.

Debian is great, but depending on where you are in the release cycle it can be a pain in the ass to stay up to date and, frankly, the last time I ran it, shit like apt/dpkg configuration and so many /etc files and structures just felt like mis-features or too complex for their own good.

Yeah, she's actually got a pretty great arc on the show. Even becomes a qualified bridge commander because of that episode.

And, honestly, I think a lot of her sex symbol rep in the '90s was because the public wasn't ready to take mental health seriously. Some of her counseling scenes have aged pretty well IMO, and her contribution to the crew was very valuable.

Ah, it's so nice to have baseball back. Miss you O'Neill, the Cardinals entire outfield is on the IL.

The Democratic party has always been for migrant child decapitation, you just weren't liberal enough to see how it's woke.

I'm okay with it. My problem with Disco is how high stakes breathless it is all the time, visiting the timeline with a lower stakes Academy lens could be cool. Being far future means it won't be a TOS/TNG cameo fest (SNW's biggest flaw) and I wouldn't mind being able to do some actual character development on Tilly / other Disco crew if they weren't just constantly in mortal danger.

Of course it'll probably end up being flashy bullshit again, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt for now.

For music I'm just sick of the apps streaming super compressed crap. It sounds like 192kbps MP3 sometimes and you can definitely tell the difference. Setup Airsonic and never looked back, although still have YT music for the fam and finding new music. It is a bit of hassle, but it's worth it and a FLAC collection feels way smaller than it did 10-20 years ago (both in terms of disk and home streaming bandwidth).

This isn't a benchmark of those systems, it's showing that the code didn't regress on either hardware set with some anecdotal data. It makes sense they're not like for like.

That was a bit of a deep cut for me, but TIL.

Spiderman could web the falling person from above like a bungee cord, or even catch them in a safety net style web.

I rewatched for S4 and honestly S2 just sorta failed as a follow up, but it was... Okay for a procedural. S1 was only great because of the McConaughey/Harrelson duo, the end was actually kinda weak I think. Then S3 was just S1 redux with Mahershala (although I loved his character).

I think S4 might actually be the best complete season.

Non-existent is probably hyperbole, but I think it's pretty reasonable to feel that way after your kids have grown and you realize you never made the time to really focus on them. Even if you have a nominal relationship later, it's as an adult, it's only certain times a year, it's focused on the grandkids etc.
