Also origin stories. I think 4 out 5 fantastic four movies are their origin. Same with superman and spider, and probably all of them.

I think one reason for that is, those are the types of movies that people might prefer to watch in a theater. If the story takes place in homes and offices, and there is no magic or explosions, you might as watch it on TV.

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.

I used to be able to stream smoothly with Firefox, now I cannot. I don't know what changed. But I gave up on firefox for just this reason.

> What stops Microsoft from locking down Office?

Commercial interests. If MS betrayed the trust of the customers, that brazenly, it would not be good for business. MS is an international company, they do work for, or represent the USA.

BTW: I am no fan of MS. Far from it.

I hate to say it. I have used Linux as my primary desktop for 20+ years. I am using Linux now.
Most of LibreOffice is more than adequate for what I do, but Impress leaves a lot to be desired.

Because only Republicans have been in office for the last 50 years?

I have some old floppies I want to get date off (if I still can). I have some old floppy drives around, but they don't work, even on my ten year old desktop.

The article seems to agree with the guy on slashdot.

> “I’m an optimist, in the sense that I think we will build a sustainable future,” Wagner says. “But it’s going to take 30 or 40 years, and by then, it’s going to be too late for a lot of the creatures that I love.

There used to be a nuclear power plant in Brazil that at one time locals called The Firefly due to its operating history. Clinton Nuclear Plant is the US' closest equivalent to that. ComEd, which has a long and large if not always 100% successful of running nuclear plants, spent years resisting all pressure from the ICC and state government to take it over from its original owner and then when their new corporate parent forced the issue spent years and many careers trying to make it work.

And he failed to pay her, as per his usual SOP.

Unclear why one of the traditional routes of population increase in US states - for the last 425+ years in most states, closer to 525 years in what is now California - is deemed to be "propping up" the population. Almost as if there is an agenda and a narrative to declare more recent immigrants as not real citizens or not real people. As opposed to, say, a German family that immigrated to the United States in 1904.
