Proof that "TV rots the brain", lol!

Now excuse me, while I go watch another Gilligan's Island.

A video on their website. Looked like even with the battery cover off, there was a thingie you had to screw to fasten the battery in. Again, not a bit deal at all. Didn't look any more (and probably a lot less) onerous than the screw for a battery cover on a children's toy. Hm, maybe I just answered my own question ...

Jesus Fucking Christ. It's 2026, Trump has been putting his boot on the necks of major networks and studios for a year and a half now. I realize you probably fell into a coma in 2016, but ten years later, the free press, regardless of what you think of it, or fair you imagine it is, is under direct assault. Fuck off with the "MSM" bullshit and grow the fuck up.

Why do you have to actually screw the battery in?

Not a big deal (given the alternatives today), but I remember swappable batteries, and you just had to pop the cover off, pop the old one out, pop a new one in.

You could.

Just like for your music collection, you could hit 300 used CD shops, rip them all, have your own backup system, etc. etc., etc. Sure.

Yet somehow, Spotify exists ...

... before or after the skunk pot, the shiny hubcaps, the $300 sneakers, and the $2000 iPhone?

I'm not sure how to break this to you, but "making payments on something" has been around forever.

Which is what these greedy out-of-control AI fuckwits are doing in a more diffuse manner.

There's non-destructive ways to scan books, that probably are just as fast as what these negligent morons are doing. It's just plain greed above all else.

This kind of behavior tells you who these people are. And why they should be shunned. It's starting to look like good people need to take action to stop their destructive rampage.

And one that was the darling of the American left, for most of its modern existence.

Is there an advantage to having a base (essentially) "above" your enemies? Er, yes ...

It will matter de facto who is living there. We can use all the windy words that we want, but the reality will be who is actually living there.

Oh, it's about racism. But it's about pro-black racism.

This POS would have never floated to the top had he been pasty white.

A fake-ass Cambridge professor has nothing to do with news for nerds?

"At center of plagiarism row" here = "absolutely unquestionably guilty of plagiarism and lots of crazy stuff".

Dang it, you beat me to it.
