I have Disney+. It is only in cinemas right now. If it follows the pattern it will be streaming in 3 months or so. But really Disney's marketing has been kind of crap. I only randomly noticed this was going into theaters about a week ago.

This same thing happened with Tron. I am a Tron fan and wanted to see Tron Ares in theater but didn't even realize it was in theaters until it was out. I was rather busy back at that time, but didn't recall seeing promotional ads for it anywhere.

In the Star Wars verse it is kind of too bad that Andor (and Rogue One) characters were in a plot-wise dead end. The group in Andor would have made better movie material than Mandalorian.

this is just sad I should bookmark it so I stop opening slashdot and getting paid advertising invading my poor poor noggin.

absolutely no guarantee. do you own stock in the hucksters by chance?

Phone books also did not show a relation between people. "Here's all the people in this town that did not opt-out of being listed" vs "here's a list of people that I know well enough to have their number, regardless of if they want their number known to others".

On a side note, I wish android would let me keep old contacts for archive purposes, but let me hide them. I don't want to see my abusive ex or her friends in my contact list, but I want to know if they're the person trying to contact me currently.

I worry less about battery or starter failure, and more about bearing failure. It's relatively easy to replace a failing battery or even a starter in many vehicles, but every time that engine stops, the oil pressure drops and the main bearing and crankshaft lose the oil's fluid separation. You get way more bearing wear at engine start from friction, even when it's already warm, than the engine gets the entire rest of the time it stays running, and bearing failure, or even just replacement, is an expensive process.

Additionally, the often recommended 10k mile oil changes allows more carbon and contamination build up in the oil more, which is going to lead to more bearing friction, turbo issues, valve issues on GDI engines, etc.

they love bill gates' press team too. very obvious editorial slant for the pedophiles.

what's the purpose of reading Wired if you already agree with the propaganda? What possible literary merit is there for this drivel other than the support of some of the dumbest people's egos who just so happen to be over invested in tech stocks.

you're not going to like why it was founded :)

"grok is this true" is not actually an inspiring intellectual inquiry so like who cares as they say.

you're a functional illiterate then. pretty common most people are.

why are we accepting stories from the indefinite detention of immigrants in work-camps is good actually magazine? Jobs' ex shouldn't get this much media power. it's an evil perversion of the abolitionist (in the 19th c) magazine.

So is he a writer, per-se? I kind of assume all those books with his name on it are completely ghost written. Given how he doesn't watch the shows, now I wonder if he even reads the books he supposedly wrote.

You know what is not there any more? The option to show all taskbar icons all the time. Now Win11 will force-hide icons into that stupid submenu all the time. And anytime something updates it manages to get shoved back into that submenu. Incredibly annoying. My belief is this is because it conflicts with their center-the-taskbar-to-look-like-Mac-dock design. Same reason window icons are forcibly collapsed into a single icon with dot underneath (hmm where have i seen this before...)

HR dept BS is the real problem. HR people are completely gaming the hiring websites. Posting fake jobs listings, and ghosting people is so common now it's considered "normal". It is just plain unprofessional, unethical behavior. I have absolutely zero sympathy when HR itself inevitably gets booted to the curb. For the aspiring grad my advice would be to do a MS with thesis with a good professor. This will get you "in" with the professors network of contacts and likely bypass the HR BS entirely.

Despite very credible allegations, Biden was never convicted of raping raping Tara Reade. And his daughter's recollections of him inappropriately showering with her outlasted any statute of limitations. But I see where you're going, there. The rest is a good fit, right down to the weaponized government, for sure. The plot twist is that the real kingpins are behind the scenes, using him as a puppet. It's good villain story line material fresh from real life.
