  • They left out the apostrophes and dropped an "L"

    It's about a crisis that America has been coping with for a while.

    Fent an' y'all

    It's a TV show about a dog named Fenton (or Fent, as they call him) who is also a cowboy that is a hero of his community. It's a spinoff of the show "Heroine" which was about a female superhero who had the ability to save people by miraculasly removing any pain that they felt. But it got kind of too dark when people started depending on her to be there and couldn't survive without her. The public didn't respond well.

    Anyway, there was another spinoff of the show Heroine called "Purdue and You" about a similar hero named "Oxy", and it was basically just the same plot of Heroine but a little bit more family friendly and the audience seemed to accept it more even though it was the same thing.

    So now "Fent an' Ya'll" is kind of building on the popularity of both of those shows, but it's just got much more impact. It's like each episode feels 100x stronger. You'll feel love, you'll feel joy, and it might just leave you standing there doubled over. People are hooked.

  • I finally found the taste of Starfleet Academy! Now which related episode should we watch while trying it? [Update]

  • I remember when I was a kid we would go on "nature walks" at summer camp (hiking, but with 7 year olds, so more like a leasurly stroll in the woods). Our camp counselor would show us where sassafras root was and we would pull some up, rinse it in the river, and chew on it whole we walked around. I always loved it. I was like "this plant tastes like root beer!" not knowing that it was the other way around.

    I'm sure everything I just described is completely banned and possibly illegal in modern summer camps.

  • Asus and Dell announce new mini PCs for Windows 365 | Goodbye local OS

  • The only real case I can think of where people like thin clients is when they move between stations. I worked at a hospital that used them and it was a fantastic solution. A doctor/nurse/whatever could walk up to any station, beep their ID, and a couple second later their session would load up. It was a huge pain in the ass to build and maintain though. These new devices might actually have a benefit there. Managing W365 through Azure/Intune is leagues easier than managing Citrix with Windows VM pools.

  • Yeah I was gonna say. Dell has been making Wyse Thin Clients for a long ass time. This isn't anything particularly new other than using W365.

  • So instead we get gigantic investment funds spinning up hundreds of LLCs named things like BRIIINKLW like those shitty Amazon brands. They funnel each one of them 140m, and control a bunch of small individual businesses through an "outsourced" MSP that handles all of the business side and is also owned by them, but because they don't own the properties or the assets, it doesn't matter. Money gets funneled the way money gets funneled, through investments and donations etc.

  • Rollerblading was so cool when I was younger and then that one joke came out and it died immediately. It didn't take long for rollerblades to be permanently referred to as "Fruit Boots'. This was also back when casual homophobia was the de fecato standard amongst tweens.

  • They haven't even figured out how out make profit off of it, let alone maximize it. I really don't understand the current approach. "Let's slam this unfathomably expensive technology into everything and not turn a profit. Oh, also, it's destroying the environment and making electronics and power really expensive"

  • Lots of call outs to Postal 2, but not a lot of talk about the GTA series? Weird. Postal 2 was "3 edgy 4 U" and all, there were definitely some hilarious and violent things you can do. I remember pissing in somebody's mouth and they started throwing up, so I hit their head off with a shovel, and the vomit continued to shoot out of their neck into the sky. But once you get past the shock value the game is pretty bland. I played the hell out of the demo back in the day, and eventually got my hands on a copy and I remember thinking "oh, it's just the same thing but with more levels"...

    Anyway. The GTA series are actually good games. Like the controls, physics, story, comedy, etc etc... But also, you can go into a boutique clothing store in a affluent part of the city and murder all of the patrons and then when the cops show up - shoot rockets at their cars. Then pull somebody out of a high end vehicle and beat the shit out of them with a baseball bat and escape a high speed car chase. You can even play it in VR. Never done it myself but I remember seeing videos of beating people with blunt objects while they attempted to put their arms up in defense but succumbed to the blows and went unresponsive on the ground and though "holy fucking shit, that was really violent".

    Anyway... That also lost its shock value pretty fast, but at least the games remained fun when playing the objective.

  • Lounge lizard here. You best bet I'm getting there 3 or 4 hours early so I can drink prosecco, eat chicken thighs (it's always chicken thighs), and play my steam deck. Maybe have a dessert and a coffee. Make sure all of my electronics are charged full and my bowels are empty.

    Also depends on the airport. I have been in some pretty small old lounges before, but the other option is sitting around in a hotel room for a couple hours? I suppose I could putz around the city I am in with my luggage for a bit but that doesn't seem like much fun either. But that's only a concern on the flight home. The flight out is going to be LGA every time it can be and I am going to maximize my time in the Centurion Lounge.
