Comment Why I stopped going to movies (Score 1) 181

I used to go the theaters all the time, no I hardly ever go.

In no particular order:

1. Way to expense for an experience that, at best, is marginally better than watching it on television.
2. Annoying people in theaters who talk non-stop and use their phones.
3. Movies are not very good. Uninteresting stories. Uninteresting characters. Rehashed woke crap. Nothing that is thought provoking in the least.
4. Time travel and parallel universes mean that nothing that happens actually happens, so who cares? Main character dies? No problem, some time travel will fix that right up.
5. It will be streaming soon enough anyway.

Submission + - World's first mass-producible nuclear reactor set for testing by US startup (interestingengineering.com)

walterbyrd writes: The reactor, known as Kaleidos, is a 1-megawatt microreactor engineered for modularity, rapid deployment, and diesel-generator replacement.

The size is basically a truck-trailer, and they hope to produce 50 per year.

Industry analysts view Kaleidos as a key player in the emerging field of tactical and off-grid nuclear energy, an area of strategic interest for national defense planners and climate-focused investors.

I think BSD administration is easier, and much more UNIX like.

For example, If you want to use a static IP instead of dynamic, it is a very simple one or lines to change. And it stays the for years, if not decades.

With Linux, first you have to consider which distro you are using. Then there is a systemd way of doing things, and a UNIX way of doing things.

I find BSD more straight forward and consistent.

> Yet, Trump is saying to this day Medicare and Medicare is fraud, waste, and abuse.

Trump said no such thing.
What Trump did was uncover huge amounts of fraud, waste, and abuse, within those systems.
Trump is trying to deny benefits to people who are not entitled to those benefits.
This is being done to keep the systems from going broke. Because if the system went broke, the deserving would be denied their benefits.
