Over the weekend I watched the first episode of the Mel Brooks version of a Robin Hood TV series. I was surprised with how much of that first episode, alone, made it into the movie "Robin Hood: Men in Tights." There was a lot of jokes and bits that didn't really land to my modern sensibilities, but to my mid-40's self, there was a lot I still recognized in the satire and parody.

Any other early efforts in TV that are a worthwhile hunt based on how the subsequent treatments came out?

Starting off my week with a crown on a molar that decided that chewing wasn’t really an activity it wanted to participate in. Heartened by how my team performed on last Friday when I took a day off, and there were some escalations/failures.

Checking in to see if there’s going to be any activity here…

I used to do this with Gentoo, and it was always a blast! Glad that you’re having fun “rolling your own!”

Hi folks!

I’m thinking about getting a Mac Mini M2 Pro, but I want to find out if people have had poor experiences running things like video calls from Teams in a guest OS. A couple of people I’ve talked to use the MacOS client for Teams, but I want to keep the accounts on the Windows install isolated from the host.

Anyone have perspective on the video and audio quality?

Why shouldn’t work be fun? Why is there an expectation of misery in exchange for living?

I kind of feel like a weirdo for not chatting a lot, I guess?

I think cheddar on top of apple pie is a pretty common thing, but American cheese sounds off.

This weekend, I have some plans to finish up my miter saw stand, and do some other "puttering" around my shop. Putting together a list of actions, and their order, to help me keep myself accountable (:

  • Align the miter saw at 45 degrees (it's a hair off)
  • Align the tablesaw blade arbor to the miter slots
  • Cut the parts for six total drawers
  • Build drawers, and install

This is some good news. I don’t have a deep or intelligent comment beyond, “nice.”

I think you hit on one of the key points. Every other time this same pattern has played out, each of those sites becomes a shadow of what they once were, but the continue because (to be blunt) running Internet sites is CHEAP.

Really, it's totally in the category "when you're getting something for free, you're not the audience, but rather the product."

When people failed to buy in very deeply to the tchotchkes to "pay" for Reddit, it was the last gasp of any effort other than wholesaling the dataset to advertisers and anyone willing to pay for the content.

My break from Reddit wasn't driven by any one single act, but rather the continued (and organized) sanitization of the Internet to appease conservative, Christian investors who make demands on the morality of the content of a site.
