That's just like... your opinion, man

Great list. The Princess Bride somehow passed me by. Is it one of those movies you could watch now and enjoy, or more something that you enjoyed at the time and therfore still holds up?

Yeah, I get what he's saying, but I agree. I think we've lost a lot in this post-nuance world. It's kind of like saying you wouldn't watch American History X because it's got nazis in it.

Starlink, sadly, is essential for many rural communities. But yeah, everytime we sign up one of our properties at work to one it always feels like a Faustian pact.

Work-wise fairly awful. Dodgy software and shitty MS updates resulted in hundreds of users having debilitatingly slow logins, and as the IT department we had to respond rapidly, which we do anyway, but we were also hounded by angry managers. Fortunately we're on it today and all has gone well. Plus there was the sweet salvation of beer and family boardgames over the weekend.

Now that you mention it...

I think there are many thousands of folk in fields beyond IT that use it all the time. It's by no means perfect, but for many of us managing teams or doing boring AF admin, working with procurement, writing user documentation or trying to navigate basic system configs then it's immensely useful.

Turns out I only have one kidney. Went in for a scan of my bladder (which was fine), and the nurse doing the scan just casually mentioned it. I had no idea. I was 43 at the time.

There was something about it I found obnoxious. It was just kind of lazy and, although the cast did a decent job, the writing was meh.

I hear you. But then does the existence of some sort of higher purpose/unknown science necessarily imply everlasting life?
