Normally it doesn't work because they end up trying too hard and it feels like it's not taking itself seriously (which can still be fine and works for parody movies like Scary Movie), but the Room feels like an honest attempt to make one of the greats that completely missed the (oh hi) mark. It's the combination of earnestness and awkwardness that makes it so entertaining to watch, like a car crash in slow motion.
If it weren't for seeing other works of his that also capture that same feeling (but it comes off a bit more forced... Can't remember the name but he plays a building manager and it's a series rather than a movie), I wouldn't even suspect that he did it on purpose and figured out how to bottle that lightning.
The Room is considered a movie so bad it's good, but if it turned out that Tommy knew what he was doing the whole time, would that make it just a good movie?
Oh wow, if steam is still 32 bit, forget the offshoots, fedora itself won't be worth using. I'm on fedora but if I can't run steam, then I'm finding a new distro.
On the flip side, what's the reason they want to drop 32-bit support, given steam depends on it, which they should understand means it's integral to the size of their current userbase?
Danish millennials and gen xers who work in retirement or old age support roles should change careers. And zers and alphas getting into it should consider hiatuses.
After celebrating accomplishment, return to todo list 2 days later. Add item: add items to todo list. Check it, it counts. Time for another celebration!
To take this in a different direction, legal or not (considering the "higher power" generally gets to define what is and isn't legal and might do so for its own benefit rather than in the best interest of everyone, if there even is such a thing), how can it be determined if a subset of a power structure breaking away from that power structure is a good thing or bad thing? What arguments other than "we'll use force" are there to support a region needing to remain under the thumb of a power they no longer wish to serve?
Even knowing about it, each time I look deeper into it, I realize it's even worse than I had thought it was.
Key takeaways from skimming that link:
Agencies assume the oral route is the primary one of concern, but most BPA consumed orally ends up processed by the liver into a form that doesn't bind to estrogen receptors. This is not the case for BPA absorbed through the skin.
Safety assumptions for skin absorbed BPA assume best case scenarios. If any factors are less than ideal, actual absorption could be significantly higher than the numbers used to determine it's "safe".
If you work in retail where you need to handle these regularly, you should wear gloves because those safety assumptions also seem to mainly consider the habits of customers who receive one with a purchase, not the people who need to rip one off for the customer and another for the business and then maybe handle ones to do paperwork when closing the till.
Also it didn't really go into the amount that might get airborne and inhaled due to handling those receipts.
Hopefully it's not a big deal, but that is currently more based on wishful thinking than any real scientific backing.
Also no coating that delivers synthetic estrogen through your skin when you touch it. Which all the people worried about trans people choosing to transition never seem to have issue with...
All cats are finely tuned stealth killing machines (though some are lazy). House cats are just optimized for rodent-sized prey, though they are still capable of putting up a decent fight against larger things. Though I'm curious if cats evolved to trigger "cute" recognition or if primates evolved to find things that include cats cute.
Upon discovering roller coaster fossils, future intelligence might conclude that we must have had vertical communities with intricate mass transportation throughout to quickly get from floor 40 to B2 and that residents had balls of steel and impressive grip strength once undeniable proof of loops is shown. Because if there's only one station, riders would need to either exit or enter while it was still moving.
Feels kinda like a game of crusader kings iii where you've gained some territory but worry that your opponent's allies might send a large army at any time, plus your vassals are rumbling about revolt, so you want to get that war finished asap but don't have enough of an advantage to force them to accept your terms.
Except it's OK when it's crusader kings because that's just a fucking video game and people aren't really dying on both sides for your ego or power hungry imperial bullshit.
I like that on Linux I can install the updates and know that the ones that require a restart will just be ready the next time I restart at my leisure. And if I don't feel like restarting right away, it won't nag me about it and maybe just restart on its own if it decides I've put it off for too long.
And I can't believe my previous "solution" to that was to give ms even more money for win 10 pro (to get access to the paywalled settings) only to still feel like ms thought it was their computer that they allowed me to use.
