The only thing I could sink about.

Is there actually a plan for a reunion season? Or just that everything inevitably gets one?

He was having the best dream!

Shorter, at least

Now that’s a deep cut.

There’s a book series, the first of which is called Dark Eden, which is set on a planet substantially like that 🙂

Yep 🙂

I kinda need to hear the terrible pickup line, though.

“Properly” and “should” are doing a lot of work here.

Hail my gimlet brother! I’ve gotten back into these in a major way over the last couple of years for the exact same reasons.

Is it time for an Al/Al ticket?

Where the HELL is my triceratops?

“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” has been my model 😉 And Wired aside, it does work phenomenally well. But I will take a look at your suggestion.

I use Block This! on my Android device, which essentially a pseudo-VPN that blackholes ad requests (as well as some trackers and miscellany). Wired bounces me immediately if I have it enabled.

They also paywall some ad-blockers.

I feel personally attacked

Anyone have a non-paywall link?

My understanding is that if you run a rogue discoverable DHCP server in a local network with a particular set of options set and hyper-specific routing rules, you can clobber the routing rules set by the VPN software on any non-Android device, and route all traffic from those devices through arbitrary midpoints that you control.

But IANANE (I am not a network engineer) so please correct my misinterpretations.

Interesting article. I think the money quotes that shifted my POV a little were these:

It has become a leading source of information in this country. About one-third of Americans under 30 regularly get their news from it.

and

American law has long restricted foreign ownership of television or radio stations, even by companies based in friendly countries. “Limits on foreign ownership have been a part of federal communications policy for more than a century,”

It does place the ban in some more relevant historical context.

I would argue that a live-in landlord that does maintenance work or acts as a building super is in fact doing a job.

Otherwise, agreed.
