Netflix’s deal/offer is only for WB/HBO properties. CNN etc. would be spun off into its own company called Discovery Worldwide IIRC.
Paramount’s hostile takeover attempt is for the whole WB/Discovery enterprise.

Looks like it’s from Dango, based on the design elements: Dango Products
Looks very similar to Dango, they have a bunch of similar metal framed, leather bound wallets.
4·4 days agoSomewhere out there is a parallel universe where Al Gore won the 2000 election, 9/11 never happened, and Donald Trump is best remembered for his multi-award winning, 10 season syndicated TV classic - $h*! My Dad Says, before tragically dying on the toilet with a hamburger in one hand and his cellphone in the other.
Add Psych to that rotation, IMO - it should be right up your alley based on those other two shows!
10·9 days agoYou need to remember that the groups that push for this pro-car culture don’t represent the drivers, but the manufacturers.
They don’t care about the actual experience of driving - they only want to shit out as many new vehicles onto the road as possible.
3·11 days agoI am assuming that’s a GTX 480 and not an RX 480; if so - kudos for not having that thing melt the solder off the heatsink by now! 😅
I drink two beers in the morning, I drink two beers at night, I drink two beers in the afternoon, and then I feel alright!
I drink two beers in times of peace, and two in times of war; I drink two beers before I drink two beers, and then I drink two more!
My friends say I have a drinking problem. A drinking problem! What drinking problem? I drink, I get drunk, I fall down. No problem!
Honestly, if you don’t mind gaming at 1080p, and keeping graphical settings reasonable in order to maintain a playable frame rate - you could be OK for a couple more years.
Otherwise if the upgrade itch just becomes too much, the Steam Machine could very well be a suitable entry point - provided that RAM model prices don’t continue to skyrocket.
I truly cannot wait for the day that the current AI bubble bursts.
Pre-COVID, when the Ethereum mining went crazy… so around the time of the RTX 2000 series? Which honestly was pretty lacklustre compared to the GTX 1000 series…
So yeah, it’s been a while!
To each their own, but I miss not having that tactile browsing experience.
Growing up, my mum kept an actual catalogue of what was on each one of our home-recorded VHS tapes as well as their timestamps!
But back to OPs original point - it is strange how we have just normalised not obtaining our own copies of media as they’re provided to us. All the more reason to fully support pirating any materials you can (legally) access.
4·20 days ago…and the world was a better place for it.
Most general public bathrooms (ie. not ones found within stores/reataurants) in Australia don’t have doors - but rather an S-shaped path that provides privacy, without the necessary “stickiness” of having to touch a door handle.
Is this not common elsewhere?
My out-of-date ass thought this was a Ghost in the Shell reference:

5·26 days agoThe whole selling points was to track fridge contents via cameras so that not only could you ‚see’ inside without having to open the door - theoretically saving electricity, using AI it was supposed to be able to track expiry dates, and suggest shopping lists in order to have full recipes.
Additionally it had all the usual „smart home” integrations on top of that.
But let’s be honest, the whole point was just to put in yet another screen that vendors could sell advertisements on, as well as track/sell personal information.

The issue with “the top 1%” term is that most people can name 100+ people, so it feels as though being in that group is attainable.
Especially when you realise that in the US, there would be ~3.3m 1%’ers.
The reality is that we should be focusing on the top 1% of the top 1% of the top 1% (~330 US individuals); the top 0.0001% - if you will.
They hold outsized political and economic power; you are not part of that group, you will never be part of that group, and they can/will squeeze you for every penny they can.
