I don’t want to undersell the design or technical achievements of the films. They are truly beautiful and it’s clear where the budget went. Other than being pretty to look at and inspiring a Disney Park, what is the cultural impact?

For contrast, Kevin Smith made a movie for the cost of a car that people still quote 30 years later.

I was thinking about this the other day - I saw the movie and I know what a Navi is, but I can’t recall a single memorable quote or name a character. There is no memorable SNL sketch except the one masking fun of the Papyrus font. There is no fandom, there is nothing

Israelis need to make a coalition to remove this monster and the entire Netanyahu circus of horrors

That’s just Banjo Kazooie

These scum just show up everywhere

What context would make it okay for you?

I agree with you completely, other than the last line. This is a guy who is unapologetic about making bigoted statements about Jews. He was called out on it and doubled down.

I am bothered by someone speaking out in the guise of being part of my movement thinking it’s fine to say things like that. I am even more bothered by apparent throngs of people who refuse to hold any accountability for antisemitic language repeated in YOUR name (specifically referring to Haredi/religious Jews as “inbred”)

No, he specifically called Jews who refused to join the IDF for religious reasons inbred. Watch the clip. But I guess keep defending it.

This is a guy who has publicly and gleefully called religious Jews “inbred.” I would love to see just one anti-racist say that this man has no place in the movement.

But calling Jews inbred is antisemitic.

Just look at all of the supposed leftists refusing to distance themselves from this literal antisemitic jerk.

As long as he is also anti-Israel people seem fine to defend him.

The far left has created a climate in which there is no consequence for antisemitism as long as the perpetrator is also anti-Israel.

It’s not a bad idea to have energy production near where the energy is being used.

That said, it’s not an either or.

Technology Connections actually did a great video on why using solar panels in place of crops can benefit the crops and actually provides more energy than the crops themselves. At least in the U.S., a huge portion of our crops are used for ethanol in gasoline anyway.

This has been an open secret for YEARS. I remember joking about this with my buddies when I was a kid: Yes, the donations help kids… But they don’t mention it’s just Kars for OUR OWN kids.

Now THIS is a country that knows how to glad-hand a dictator.

Not a lot you can do with phones unfortunately. You could set them up as basic fileservers using CopyParty or Syncthing. Don’t use it for anything critical - these are not backup solutions.

Set up Tailscale to access it outside your network.

I’ve been told that government auctions canbe a good source for cheap used PCs but I never had much luck there. I suspect that they get snatched up quickly and stripped for parts. Try eBay or Mercari?

We should ask Claude how to solve this. /s

Sounds more like Fahrenheit 451

Apparently after this he also hit some locals on their fists with his face. I hope the seal and their fists are okay.

For example

I’m not a scientist so I don’t claim to understand it or explain it.

They all paid.
