Same. I find that even that many is a significant distraction.

Yeah, I try to buy stuff from brick and mortar stores. I figure that even if it’s a big box store at least there are actual employees working there who live in my area.

But I can’t even find the kind of underwear I like at any physical store near me. Even online, Amazon seems to be the only place that stocks it.

The same goes for the style of jacket that I prefer. I’ve spent months looking everywhere, and the only place where I’ve found even an approximation of what I want is Amazon.

I’ve noticed that even in big box stores nowadays the selection is pretty limited. You’ll see a wall of racks full of the same item. I don’t know if it’s supply chain issues or if they’ve just decided that it’s not worth the trouble of trying to stock a variety of items that only appeal to a relatively small number of people.

I suppose the idea is that it’s possible that someone has written several books in the past, and wants to sell them on Amazon now.

I think “asshole” is a pretty common type.

I only see three Valve Turner incidents listed in Wikipedia, the most recent of which was four years ago.

Anyway, my suggestions weren’t pipelines or trains out in the middle of nowhere. If they want publicity they should glue themselves to the entrance to a car dealership.

People who support museums tend to be relatively progressive, so all the protesters are accomplishing is to alienate people who likely agree with them.

Can you give an example?

It’s ridiculously inappropriate for climate protesters to attack museums and artworks. They should be going after car dealerships, gas stations, and the like, not creative works that have no direct impact on the environment.

Yeah, it’s actually kind of impressive how they’ve retained all of the negative aspects of organized religion and none of the positive ones.

I used to have an orange Handspring Visor PIM, which ran the Palm OS. If I’m remembering correctly the original team that developed the Palm Pilot left to start Handspring. My friend topped me by buying the phone module for hers. It seemed almost breathtakingly futuristic at the time.

When I was in high school back in the late 70s you’d still see a few of those around. My friend had one, but not for long. Someone had put in a more powerful motor and if she wasn’t careful accelerating she would snap the drive shaft.

It’s the same with a lot of the other manufacturers. You can buy a Toyota Yaris in Mexico, but not in the US.

I know what you mean. Their DVD rental service is profitable, but they are killing it at the end of September anyway. I suppose it makes the CEO feel like a big shot to be able to say, “Sure it’s making money, but I don’t care about pocket change.”

I read that sometime in 2025 it’s likely the Voyagers’ nuclear batteries won’t have enough power left to operate their instruments.

It will be kind of weird not to get occasional updates anymore. I graduated high school in 1977, and I’ve been hearing news about the Voyager probes for my entire adult life.
