Maybe they were referring to the actors’ regimen for getting bulked out for their parts.

He’s supposed to retire soon. It’s time. He’s great at numbers and logistics, but not at serviceability or creativity. I’m hoping he’s replaced by Federighi.

Spoiler: They won’t. This is the stre that brought us “drill baby drill”. 🤷‍♂️

The original Saturns were good cars and lasted a long time. It wasn’t until they started rebadging other GM models as Saturn that it started going downhill.

Same. My grandma had a Taurus and that thing ran forever. She sold it to a teenager when she could no longer drive and they immediately wrecked it the next week.

You still see the Taurus on the road even though they quit making them years ago. There’s a reason it was one of the best selling cars, and a reason why they quit making them (because no one who bought one needed a new car or any service).

We still haven’t recovered from Reagan. This is going to take a looooong time to fix.

  • Connery good
  • Lazenby awful
  • Moore good
  • Dalton bad
  • Brosnan good
  • ???
  • Craig good

I don’t really count Niven and I can’t explain the gap between Brosnan and Craig. Maybe it has something to do with switching on the superconducting supercollider. I’m also still disappointed Halle Berry as Jinx didn’t get a spin off movie.

I’d imagine this happens a lot more often than the OP’s scenario. Some complete garbage becomes “critical darling” for whatever reasons.

WHAS has an amazing cast. Hats off to whomever managed to get them all together.

LGX would make a good streaming series if the budget was generous.

 

This is just greenwashing the original plan to add another natural gas power plant. What a scam. “Oh it could eventually run on hydrogen too. In five years. Maybe?”

 

This project is such a waste of money.

 

Are there any good iOS apps for rating songs while they play in Plex on the TV? I can’t find a way to rate songs using an AppleTV and its remote.

I did try the Plex app on the phone, but you have to leave it as the frontmost app or it will disconnect by the next time you open it (app flushes/sleeps). If it doesn’t disconnect then instead you get a mismatch of what’s playing and what can be rated (album art/track name/rating pane don’t match). There’s also no widgets from the app to do this from on iOS.

Or is there a web app I can run on the server and connect to from the phone’s web browser to rate items as they play?

 

Finally got around to watching “Falcon and The Winter Soldier” and it would have been so much better if Isaiah Bradley’s story had been the first episode, or a stand-alone movie. Instead it’s just told in exposition. If you go read his backstory, it is a pillar of the F&WS plot. Disappointing that an interesting chapter of this universe is confusingly meted out in bits and pieces across episodes. Here’s hoping his “prequel” eventually gets told.

As an aside — am I really supposed to believe Falcon doesn’t get paid the big bucks and can’t afford to pay to fix up his sister’s boat?

Or shade.

I am also reminded of how CapMetro spent money to rip out the perfectly fine existing shelters and benches to replace them with the newer, flimsier ones.
