  1. I'd suggest Badlands (1973) and The New World (2005 (172 minutes version)) as the other two.

    Badlands is his first movie and is very approachable.

    The New World is also very approachable but can be long for some people. Personally, it's one of my all time favorite movies.and worth every minute.

  2. Auto-radio
  3. AOL-Time-Warner-Pepsico-Viacom-Halliburton-Skynet-Toyota-Trader-Joe's but I guess it's AOL-Time-Netflix-Pepsico-Viacom-Halliburton-Skynet-Toyota-Trader-Joe's now.
  4. > ...Microsoft's implementation of AI feels like "don't worry, we will do the thinking for you"

    I feel like that describes nearly all of the "productivity" tools I see in AI ads. Sadly enough, it also aligns with how most people use it, in my personal experience. Just a total off-boarding of needing to think.

  5. I would even say there were two Window versions between 7 and 10, namely, 8 and 8.1.
  6. I haven't had issue with WiFi on Linux in over a decade.

    Sleep/Hibernate on the other hand; well, let's just say that fast boot times "solved" those issues.

  7. That reminds me of House of Bamboo, which kind of had the opposite problem[0]:

        For many years after its initial release, the film was seen only on television in pan-and-scan prints, leading people to believe that DeForest Kelley has a small role near the end of the film. When Fox finally struck a new 35mm CinemaScope print for a film festival in the 1990s, viewers were surprised to see that Kelley is in the film all the way through; he was just always off to one side and thus had been panned out of the frame.

  8. Right? I thought the article was going to be about how constructive having even a simple daily workout can be for mental health.

    After reading the article, I like my version better.

  9. I completely forgot about that.

    I was thinking of the exploit back from 2023 that effected Acura, Genesis, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Infiniti, Nissan, and Porsche. I remember it being discussed on HN at the time but I can't find the relevant thread. Here is an article covering it: https://www.securityweek.com/16-car-makers-and-their-vehicle..., at the time.

  10. Wasn't it the other way round? Subaru was the only manufacturer that wasn't affected, I thought.
  11. I steal lines from Cheers on the daily.
  12. That is beyond pedantic. There is no sales tax in New Hampshire. It is tax free.
  13. > The government running liquor stores at no profit is a subsidy.

    New Hampshire liquor stores contribute over $150MM to community programs a year. [0]. They had an annual profit of $170MM in FY2023.

  14. I love my state liquor stores.

    The staff are treated and paid well, the stores are well stocked and clean, and I pay tax free on some of the lowest prices in the country.

  15. I think I should at least be able to see even a subset of the content that caused the item to be returned in the search result, though. If I try to navigate away or see more content, sure, make me log in. But, if I search something, click on a Twitter/Facebook/Linkedin result, I should at least be able to see something.

    The search --> visit --> immediate redirect to login results should be de-ranked.

  16. Serious question: Why doesn't Google de-rank content that requires a login? I remember they used to claim they did but they clearly do not anymore.
  17. Killer Bean! That's exactly where my mind went as well.

    I'm so happy people still remember it. We used to watch 2.1 at every LAN, too.
