It flies under the radar, but I really liked him as the crooked warden in Lock Up.

I did Chicago to Dallas and back.
Never again. On the way down I had coach seats only and the trip was about 20 hours. Trying to sleep in those seats was hell.
The moment I got off the train, I walked to the ticketing desk and immediately upgraded to a sleeper for the return. “That will be an extra $400, sir.” Don’t care, just do it.

The sleeper was slightly better in that I got to stretch out, but actually sleeping wasn’t as restful as I thought it would be.

The number of delays while waiting for freight trains was the worst. Before arriving into Dallas, you could see the city. We were 15 minutes away from arriving into the station, but had to sit and wait for about 90 minutes. I could have gotten off and walked and gone back for my bags later.

I did meet some nice people, as you’re forced to sit with others in the dining car when you’re traveling alone since there’s only so many seats. And the food was better than expected. That was probably the only real plus.

But if it’s locked up, it takes too much work when you want to wave it around feeling badass.

If only we had vaccines for this.
Oh, wait.

Although both are real brain twisters, I liked the concept of Dark Matter more than the other.

This is a bit misleading.
Workers that are laid off do get unemployment pay. They’re not just thrown into the wind.
But this was definitely a calculated move by the union with the targeted strikes, forcing the auto companies to dip into their unemployment funds to pay those workers who were laid off rather than let the union foot the whole bill with a wholesale strike.

You? You’re all right.
This one? Real fuckin’ ugly.

No, and I don’t miss it at all.
I’ve used BT headphones even when my last two devices had jacks and wouldn’t want to go back.
Prior to that, I can’t count the number of times I would snag the wires on something or get them tangled in some way.

Now I use my BT bone conduction headphones everywhere.

500Gb maybe.

Next year is going to be epic.
I see it as episode 10 of what will be the eventual mini-series.

I asked my 79 y/o mother if she knew. She didn’t even blink. “Because they’re not blue.”

Impossible to argue with that logic.

“Plane crash” must be another term for “lead poisoning of the brain”, which likely occurred weeks ago.

Robocop, Trains, Planes and Automobiles, Dances with Wolves.

Just started reading “To Sleep in a Sea of Stars”. (Christopher Paolini)

It’s huge, but so far the pacing moves quickly enough to keep from getting bogged down.

So if he goes to federal prison, do the secret service members who are part of his detail draw straws to see who else gets to spend time being bars?

In my opinion, anything by Crouch is pure gold.

Anything that gets nearer to a RES-like experience from Reddit is an absolute plus. This UI is brilliant.

Lock Up (1989).
Yes it’s a generic prison movie with quite a few standard tropes, but I’ve always liked it.

Yes, you could just go to https://startrek.website/communities for the list of communities on that particular instance.
However, subscribing to a community on an instance where you do not have an account takes a few extra steps.

When looking at the list of communities on another instance where you do not have an account, clicking the Subscribe link from the list will result in a popup stating that you’re not logged in and if you click on the community name, a Subscribe button will not be shown.
However, most, if not all, communities will have instructions in the sidebar for how to subscribe from your main instance without the need for creating an account on the instance where that community resides.

To do this using the example of the startrek.website instance, if you wish to subscribe to the daystrominstitute community, you would enter “!daystrominstitute@startrek.website” into the search field on your main Lemmy instance where you are logged in.
Generally the first item in the results will be a link back to that community, which will look like:
“Daystrom Institute@startrek.website - 448 subscribers”
Click that link and you will see the content of that community again, but now notice that a Subscribe button will be shown in the sidebar.
Clicking Subscribe may result in a note that says “Subscribe pending”, which I believe is due to some syncing that needs to occur between instances. Just give it a few minutes and then that community will appear in your list of subscribed communities.
You can now read, post and reply to that community just as if you had an account on that instance.

Let it burn.
