Doesn’t mean you’re not smart. People’s brains work differently. Some people enjoy thinking five moves ahead, or memorizing standard plays and reactions. Other people are good at math or chemistry. Talents aren’t an “all or nothing” thing.

Lightning was designed to put the stress on the cable instead of the port. A lot cheaper to replace a busted cable than getting your device repaired.

Not a game changer at all. In fact most of my peripherals still use the older style usb connectors. I’m not planning to run out and buy new everything.

I would like to see appliance chargers switch to USB-C. All these stupid wall warts for electric toothbrushes and shavers are ridiculous.

Maybe they were referring to the actors’ regimen for getting bulked out for their parts.

• Connery good
• Lazenby awful
• Moore good
• Dalton bad
• Brosnan good
• ???
• Craig good

I don’t really count Niven and I can’t explain the gap between Brosnan and Craig. Maybe it has something to do with switching on the superconducting supercollider. I’m also still disappointed Halle Berry as Jinx didn’t get a spin off movie.

It will end up being someone lousy. The Bond franchise is like Star Trek films. You get good bond/lousy bond/good bond cycles over and over. They’ll go for someone pretty, it will flop after one or two movies, and then they’ll hire a good actor again.

Just tell them you have cancer and are immunocompromised. That usually shuts them up. Irrational people are not worth arguing with and sometimes this makes them think twice about harassing other people.

Grifters gotta grift.

I seriously doubt Netflix will put it in theaters at all, and if they do it will be in a handful to qualify for awards season. When the studios own the streaming channels, there’s very little incentive to release movies in theaters anymore.

The narration of The Expanse audiobook series was really well done.

Does the Hail Mary narration get better? I listened to a sample and the child’s voice in the beginning was like nails on a chalkboard to me.

I’d be more concerned that there aren’t going to be any movie theaters left at this rate. The studios own all the streaming channels now — they’re going to cut out the middle man.

Stop dumping toxic trash in the ocean, assholes.

Which is cheaper — composting food after its expiration date, or the copay at the doctors office when you get food poisoning?

We need a Venom and Morbius buddy movie.
