A restoration expert in Egypt has been arrested for stealing a 3,000 year old bracelet and selling it purely for the gold content, with the bracelet then melted down with other jewellery. Obviously, this sort of artefact CANNOT be replaced. Ever. And any and all scientific value it may have held has now been lost forever. It is almost certain that this is not the first such artefact destroyed.
Doesn't America hate Americans?
Billionares go all in on flying cars.
MS Office!
Don' switch to one of these open source things like the Nordics are doin.
Yeah, wasn't it in a James Blish or Kurt Vonnegut story?
And the lunch boxes released durning the summer.
Where's all the Breaking Bad and Game Of Thrones tin lunchboxes with major scenes impressed in steel and enamel?!!
I try to view it (for prestige shows) as 8-10 film quality shows (4-5 movies) but when they do the short seasons for basic comedies, yeah, that feels cheap.
And then there's the British weird season stuff; 4-6 episodic episodes and then a year or two later, another 4-6 episodes, going on for 2 decades or so. Thinking of Jonathon Creek and Poirot.
Seems like 'Watercooler cooler' tv peaked with GoT and every other attempt (WestWorld, Rings of Power, Succession, etc) has generated some buzz but nothing near peak GOT S3-S4.
And now that it turns out there's no lasting economy of scale with subscription tv (wait for full season to drop, subscribe for a month to watch, cancel), I doubt there will be many more big-budget shows in the future, at least until business models change again. Apple, Amazon, and Netflix (to a lesser degree) subsidize their shows but I feel that's going to be ending in the next few years.
I mean, in Star Trek, you never see more than a few hundred people at a time. That's the future, right? RIGHT?!!
One Man sitting on a pile of 8 billion plus skulls, secure in the knowledge that he has WON.
And everyone just has to work 2 - 4 jobs.
The tech-brahs never mention the pay being increased to make up for less time worked.

The entire ad revenue thing seems so weird to me. Yet it seems to be what drives teh intertubes.
Real Programs don't use shared text. Otherwise, how can they use functions for scratch space after they are finished calling them?
