Seems needlessly aggressive

Take off, eh! The answer here has to be Strange Brew. Only movie I ever watched that taught me how to get free beers.

I’m due for a laptop refresh at work in a couple months. Used to happen every 3 years when the warranty ended, but they extended it 6 months because of price increases. The irony here is not lost upon me. I hope they don’t extend it another 6 months. Or cheap out on the specs. Or both.

A couple years ago I bought a PC that came with a 32 GB stick. I had the option of paying an exorbitant amount to the manufacturer for an additional 32 GB. I declined and then spent about $10-$15 less than the manufacturer wanted for that extra 32 GB and purchased a full 64 GB from somewhere else. Long story short, where is the best place to resell 32 GB of DDR5?

The president is the civilian who is in charge of the military. Definitely not technically in the military, by design. Other possible reasons to salute include wearing uniform or being a vet, which also don’t apply.

The unsung hero who made the original Star Wars worth watching.

Not a slam dunk, but I can confirm that the street markings look American, the license plates appear to me to conform to American sizing and placement, and there is an American flag (amongst a few others) hanging from a pole. Gonna say it’s most likely somewhere in the States.

Sorry for your loss. That sucks.

Does Florida give the governor the legal right to dictate what local governments can celebrate? Seems sketchy, but Florida is awash in sketchy, so I have no idea.

I need someone who understands law better than myself to clarify here – not only did the prosecutor call a witness not on the list, but that witness was the spouse of the defendant?? I realize this is Alabama, and I may be a caveman lawyer (#notalawyer #notyourlawyer), but isn’t this wildly inadmissable? If this story is true, shouldn’t Cracker Jack lose their legal degree accreditation, because that seems to be where these participants got theirs? Or do l need to return to my cave?

Multiplane camera

Since you brought up chess, I’ve always found chess boxing as an interesting concept.

Hey, I get that reference!

Home battery backup was my first thought here. First I’ve thought about it. I wonder how much it would cost vs comparable commercial solution.

Episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer where she’s in and out of a coma between the normal world and the world with vampires.

If this is what I think it is, that episode still makes me think about the nature of reality whenever I think about it, which is a lot more often than it should for a show that old.

I have a twist for you – how do you know that time isn’t running backwards?

Wait, weren’t we talking about spoons?

The last live theater I saw was Peter Pan Goes Wrong. Amazingly good. That Cornley theater knows how to put on a great show.

Learning this pleases me. Thank you. The idea that the victims’ families, at least, have not lost those lessons gives me some satisfaction that humanity hasn’t gone full on stupid.
