I'm hugely surprised at this, really. NO clients at all? Sigh ...

Yeah, those subtitles can be pretty 'orrible, no question. I've often wondered if there was work there for humans, until I remember that most humans' spelling, grammar, punctuation are pretty weak too. Still, better than nothing, and I do miss it when the subtitles are not available. And it's always a surprise when I turn them on for a particular thing, and find them to be in Russian (!) or Spanish or German or whatever. I leave them on (well, except for the Russian ones because I can't read the script at all): hoping that maybe more of the language will soak in through my subconscious or whatever :-)

So bad, the complexion!

Are you sure that your joining this group of signatories is not doing them more harm than good?

I'm not one of the (I suspect quite large) group of haters, despite your most inappropriate (and possibly traitorous) appearances in North Vietnam. But you could find better ways to express your support of free speech, methinks.

why my Special Operations Association reunion is usually scheduled in October. Of course, it's in Las Vegas, which might not help with the "good weather" part. Well, at least it probably won't be raining ... although hardly anything about the reunion is outdoors :-)

The "you know is pointless" part is what I'm concerned about.

Wow, I didn't know that about the Greatful Dead! Of course the only "concert" I've ever been to was an Elton John solo at the Fayetteville (NC) Colliseum. Enjoyed it; would've enjoyed Hendrix or some hard rock band better though, alas.

I've never heard of Waze or any other system designed to defeat camera systems. And it's been my habit, for most of my life now, to push that "10 MPH over the limit" line. But this seems fair, now that I'm older and more moderate in my driving habits. Still, I have to wonder if all the tricks I used Back In The Day with my motorcycles (pigdog Norton 750 Atlas, and then my beloved BMW R75-5) to defeat radar (careful use of lanes, using other vehicles to block my much smaller radar signature would still work at all :-)

I never thought to look it up before, since I've been running World of Warcraft on my trusty old Win10 for decades now. But this got me curious.

Well, look like no problems. I'm sure there's a decent web browser available, and if I could get all my saved Outlook email transferred over ... interesting, very interesting.

Yeah, there may have been some nutjobbery as you say ... but I still miss all the Chuck Norris references in World of Warcraft's "Crossroads Chat", which had a certain fame of its own back in the early days. So long, Chuck: maybe on the other side.

Well, I know where I'm NOT buying my next desktop!

I had no idea they were recycling fiber optic cables like that! I remember seeing an underseas cable dragged up into the jungle down in Panama when I was working in the Army Jungle School at Fort Sherman. It was at Devil's Beach, where our student companies would regularly take a break, and the big black cable (I can't remember, maybe 3 or 4 inches in diameter?) was just lying there in the jungle. You could see its construction on the end visible there. I always have regretted not bringing a hacksaw there one day and hacking off a foot or two just as one hell of a souvenir!

I hope they sue his ass off for stealing even the _thought_ of such an image.

Ditto on the several purported Rachel Maddow channels I've been viewing lately. And the channels on that out-of-system "comet" over the past several months. Tipoffs: lip synching may be good, random head movements, etc. But the hand and arm movements are identical, repetitive. And the way they spell out millions of dollars as "digit dollarsign millions".

Very disappointing.

I somehow ended up with two Prime memberships (I suspect one belonging to my deceased wife). I got tired of paying for both of them, went online, cancelled one of them. No confusion, no problems, no nagging "are you sure?" stuff. I consider this a non-issue.
