The other Stephen King short story turned into a movie recently (Long Walk) also

Spoilercompletely changed the ending, although I heard a rumour that the original ending will be on the home release. So maybe this movie will have an alternate ending as well. The change after following the book pretty well up til that point made it feel like a weird alternate reality all of a sudden. Very jarring. Not that I think the changes were bad, but changed how I was experiencing the movie.

Probably because older phones are in maintance mode for the OS. Adding new features always carries some complexity and testing all models takes time. Limit the models to test to only the more recent ones and you save money.

That said, it would be so nice to have a more open system where I can decide that if that goes on my phone myself.

I think I'm just gonna block the word Hoekstra. Nothing good or worthy of attention is attached to that name.

Oh shit, that's huge!

Edit: just read a bit of the article. Calender and address book still coming. So nothing really changes since I was using IMAP because. Maybe it'll be a bit faster?

Ok, I'll give it a shot creating some more posts. I didn't want to start putting a lot of effort into the community if I just had to move it.

I'd also accept if he was essentially Beavis ala The Legend of Beavis which is one of the funniest things on YouTube.

No warranty? If you bought with a credit card they usually have a warranty extension feature and will extend the manufacturer's warranty for you.

I tried creating a community on piefed.ca and subscribed using a lemmy.ca account and a reddthat.com account. Neither of those alt accounts on lemmy are able to see the one post in the community although they are subscribed and show up in the subscribers list.

Anybody know why this is? Should I move my community to lemmy instead of piefed?

Did you read all of that? I can't find any verdicts except for some (all?) of the plaintiffs being dismissed without prejudice. So many of the documents are sealed.

This is my favourite podcast. It features two contestants who are minor celebrities and asks them for three topics outside their field of work in which they are experts in, and then crafts a trivia quiz for them. Finally they bring in an expert to evaluate their responses, and the show is able to get some amazing experts who are a joy to listen to and usually the response from the contestent meeting the expert is incredibly wholesome.

This episode features Tim Russ so I thought the TenForward community might like it. There also some additional Star Trek trivia and personalities even during the part of the episode that features the other contestant Amber Nelson.

Tim Russ's three topics are - Astronomy, Alien invasion movies of the 1950s and 60s, and World War II. You can find out more about why Tim was intereted in these topics.

Also noteable quote from the episide: "I think Tim might be the center of the universe!"

I saw the thumbnail and thought "Oh no, I can't handle this!"

 

Discovered that one of my lights was getting dimmer because halogen bulbs were burning out. This is a new house and I thought it was already an LED fixture. Got 3 new LED bulbs to make that area nice and bright.

Also discovered the house has metal studs when I went to mount the TV. bought some metal anchors. Never worked with metal studs before. Hope it turns out.
