Trying to think of recent German films I’ve seen and the best I can do is Das Leben der Anderen and Der Untergang, both being 20 years old.

I do enjoy how both Asuka and Misato are posing like they have previous experience as car show booth babes. That tracks.

This apparently changed around the same time people stopped using “Give 'em the high hard one”.

Or it is just an extremely common retro style motif dating to the 70s/80s, color coordinated with the base device color schemes, with no particular intended political meaning whatsoever.

Occam’s razor is a useful blade.

No he won’t. He’s an idiot and it is a horrible idea.

Abigail is best girl

Meanwhile the poors have to settle for their 12 pack of RoseArt.

I enjoyed a lot of the game objectives… Automating the farm, going to the bottom of the mine and the desert thing, completing the community center, courting a spouse etc.

A lot of the grindy bits weren’t as fun, such as missing some season-specific cutscene or event and not having the exact right item, the feeling of needing to speed grow certain crops at the beginning of each season, etc.

Overall it was a chill and positive experience. The music is awesome, character interactions not too laborious. This game plays great on SteamDeck and with proper settings it sips battery. For a long flight, I would pair this title with stuff like Animal Well, Dead Cells, and Cave Blazers.

You’re already legally required to manually register with the selective service if you are male and you turn 18.

Why not just introduce legislation to end that requirement altogether.

Problem is… by that definition, pants beltloops are also machineguns because you can bumpfire just as easily from those, and through exactly the same combined “mechanical function”.

Just make an “open class” where any identification, body mods, and performance enhancing drugs are unregulated. The best athletes that science can create.

“I’m doing my part!”

People have gotten in the habit of cheering on court rulings based on outcome, rather than any defining principles. I’ve been trying to encourage people to imagine the shoe is on the other foot and their political enemies are in charge, before contemplating expansion of federal powers.

As I said in the other thread… This wasn’t a merits decision as to “bumpstocks good” or “bumpstocks bad”. The point was that machine guns have a statutory definition. Bumpstocks did not fit that definition. Trump tried to use executive order to essentially amend the law all by himself to revise the practical implementation of that definition. That’s not how the US works. If the president wants bumpstocks banned, he must use political capital to lobby congress to pass a bill, then sign the bill if it makes it that far.

To everyone whining about the outcome of this particular case, imagine unilateral executive authority applied to every area of American life, and realize what you are wishing for.

Trespasser was a vibe in some ways. The clean screen and unique control scheme was innovative at the time. Granted it doesn’t hold up very well now, but there were some cool concepts at least.

I have a 2021 mfg one NIB that I got as a giveaway. I can’t guarantee it will work but I will try and followup.

I have one of these sitting new in box unopened. If I have time later I will give this a try.

EDIT: To answer what you said, the reason you might want to do this is that this hardware doesn’t need to be chromecasted to by a phone or laptop or something. It can have native apps installed directly on it, and be controlled via your normal TV remote control.

Granted I haven’t tested this yet to see if it works with the alternative OS.

It would be truly awesome to have a degoogled streaming device that you could sideload apps on, use your regular TV remote with CEC etc. Even better if you could use alternative apps to get ad free YouTube streaming.

In contrast, for the unmodded device, the default GoogleTV setup and UI is horrible. You have to manually remove all the garbage apps you don’t want. It still shows you suggested banners of terrible content exclusive to certain apps that you don’t even have installed.

By this diagram, the Hawaiian Puka Dog is sushi.

A lot of public school districts now provide laptops or Chromebooks to the students to use during class while doing… let’s say…minimal oversight at best.

So most of the same inappropriate garbage behaviors and distractions will just be offloaded from the personal phone to the school device.

If a parrot is on its perch, can it lead a standup meeting?
