Were the scientists all named Rick Sanchez by any chance?

One might say they are a bit Trash-E.

Sloppy today.

I have always taken that to be the author's intent. J.K., on the other hand, read a love story. I do agree with everything else she said about Nabakov though.

Jack Lemon seems like a missed opportunity.

Lolita is a masterpiece in the true sense of the word. I just do not understand how J.K. see Lolita as a love story.

Yes, the ending of Lolita is amazing but even in it I could feel the "wrongness" of the narrator. Maybe it's me but you guys tell me if this doesn't read more like horror than romance.

The following decision I make with all the legal impact and support of a signed testament: I wish this memoir to be published only when Lolita is no longer alive.

Thus, neither of us is alive when the reader opens this book. But while the blood still throbs through my writing hand, you are still as much part of blessed matter as I am, and I can still talk to you from here to Alaska. Be true to your Dick. Do not let other fellows touch you. Do not talk to strangers. I hope you will love your baby. I hope it will be a boy. That husband of yours, I hope, will always treat you well, because otherwise my specter shall come at him, like black smoke, like a demented giant, and pull him apart nerve by nerve. And do not pity C. Q. One had to choose between him and H.H., and one wanted H.H. to exist at least a couple of months longer, so as to have him make you live in the minds of later generations. I am thinking of aurochs and angels, the secret of durable pigments, prophetic sonnets, the refuge of art. And this is the only immortality you and I may share, my Lolita.

He should have made it clear that he would not seek a second term. Instead he pulled a RBG (she refused to retire when Obama asked her). We are now basically four months from election day and that ship has sailed. All we can do is vote D no matter what. Don't confuse me doing what must be done with pride and "patting myself on the back". His ego fucked us and now we have to deal with the mess...again. Thankfully, with the exception of their support for Israel's genocidal campaign, his administration has been quite competent.

All of our laptops are either Mac or Linux. Eight or ten years ago it was all Mac but now it's mostly Linux. Ultimately, clients that have closed Windows ecosystems always provide us with laptops or a jump station to connect to. So if they are going to do that anyway, there was no need for us to Windows internally.

This is Lemmy after all.

I think time tracking would be good. The interface promotes "fat fingering" just to keep the screen from dimming. Tracking "guesses" would be unfair.

If you do not vote, or vote for anyone other than whatever Democrat is on the ticket, Palestinian will be fully wiped out or forced to live in an open air prison the size of a postage stamp, Ukraine will be steam rolled over, Americans who are not straight, white and faux-Christian will be third tier citizens, and American democracy will be dead, forever. Go sell your bullshit to someone else. I have seen too much shit to fall for such a weak and obvious maneuver.

The Peanut Butter Falcon

This movie is carried by the performances of Zack Gottsagen and Shia LaBeouf.

The Apartment

I know it often gets billed as a zany comedy but I have always found it incredibly dark and it hits like a ton of bricks.

Don't vote for the man, vote for the administration. The Trump administration will be evil incarnate and absolutely the end American democracy.

Duh

Me, a Gen-X'r in tech since the mid-90s.

I am not saying that orange cat is fat, but John and Odie are right off camera.
