sips quietly from a yard

Imagine the opening to Lord of War, but the assembly line passes through a portal into 1859… I could watch that movie.

They should totally do this, but sell the naming rights like a sports arena to the highest bidder.

The SoFi Holy Roman Empire, presented by Palantir

Doctor Who and Star Trek would be fun.

You can experience this in comic form, at least.

It’s not a pyramid! It’s a triangle!

so we’re talking about 6 G€ here, or six gigaeuros.

I’m so behind this concept.

Busted how? Does anyone expect consequences?

No, they were BUSTED. All caps. That means it’s serious.

Did I miss the “read more” button? Is that really just 2 paragraphs long?

It appears to be paywalled. Firefox’s Reader mode bypassed it for me.

Little Bobby Tables, we call him.

Marketing opportunity for Kim Dotcom.

It is 2010. It is the year of the Linux desktop.

It is 2018. It is the year of the Linux desktop.

It is 2026. It is the year of the Linux desktop.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the book was wrapped up in S01 wasn’t it?

It was.

Gaiman and Pratchett had started planning a sequel, but it never advanced past the early stages. Gaiman decided they couldn’t jump straight into the sequel concept in season 2 so that season is new material that bridges the gap.

What do you want from physical buttons on the phone?

I would like dedicated back/home/recent keys, like on early Android phones. The back button also functioned as a “disconnect” button for phone calls, which was nice. I still miss it.
