I wasn’t familiar with that chain of grocery stores so I looked it up. I found out something kinda funny. Did you know it was originally called C.C. Butts and was founded by Florence Butts?

What will the next one be called? The Whale? The Penguin?

How do you feel about conservatives?

I know. That's my point. A great example of this is when they used to brag about how eco-friendly their product were. I remember them bragging about their displays being mercury-free, BFR free, etc and their laptops having totally recyclable aluminum and glass enclosures - only to later deliberately make their laptops nearly impossible to repair and upgrade.

They didn’t switch to USB-C out of the goodness of their hearts. They switched because the EU passed a new law that requires that new smartphones have USB-C ports.

Eh, sorta. It’s possible that the CGI files may have finally been located, but I’m not sure. As far as I know, the Blu-Rays will be 4x3 instead of the originally-intended 16x9 aspect ratio. The show was filmed in 16x9 and J. Michael Stracznski intended to have the CGI re-rendered at some point when it could be done faster and cheaper, but the files were lost before that could be done.

Yeah, the DVDs kinda were widescreen, but that’s because they were cropped from 4x3 to 16x9.

This isn't actually new, but yes, it is infuriating. It's also why I haven't bought an HP printer. Well, at least since I found out about this issue back in 2017 or so.
