They could have the Netflix app on your phone sync to the movie playing on the TV and pop up a notification with the dialog text

Now you have Netflix execs forcing them to restate the premise of the movie every other scene for people who are mostly looking at their phones while the movie is on

Same as the plan to repeal the ACA without a replacement plan, but minus the save by John McCain's thumb.

@chucktingle.bsky.social should immediately release a new book with the same name every time they announce one of these operations

Yep, I played UO for roughly the first year, and then rage quit one day after being griefed via exploits twice in close succession.

If you ever find yourself in San Diego, the ship that played the Surprise in the movie is at the Maritime Museum.

It all starts with a programmer asking an artist "why do you need a 4k texture for a pebble?"

This is like when they tried to kill Obamacare 65 times so they could replace it with a new plan that didn't exist. Too bad John McCain isn't around to have given a thumbs down to the backhoe.

The fiscal equivalent of attempting to launch a rocket into space but having it rain down as burning debris on a Caribbean island.

I am holding a Tacolate, a taco shaped ice cream treat featuring a shell made of waffle cone, packed with ice cream, and covered with chocolate.

I arrived at the local Salt & Straw ten minutes after they opened. They had already sold 30 of the Tacolate's, and expected to sell out of the first batch today.

Even now, videogames sometimes get looked down upon as dumb, trivial ways to spend your time.

So here's a very personal example of how a videogame recently helped me get through the toughest period of my life, in a way I never expected.

Bear with me. (Especially if you hate videogames.)

I'd been wondering if you were still in the area after seeing you posting from pinnacles the other day. My wife was on the bird yesterday when they were still calling it "mystery warbler" and I got to hear all about it over dinner. Good luck!

I watched this with my wife last week. She is a somewhat serious birder and I set this up to play for her and was just going to watch a couple minutes to get the feel of it, but their humor immediately sucked me in and I thoroughly enjoyed the entire thing.

Some local audubon guys told us they did a study of pelican carcasses a few years ago and counted 74 in 2 months (july and august).

Last week we saw a mom otter grab one of the pelicans and drag it across the lagoon to her pups.

Don't know if it is seasonal. We were there(Abbot's Lagoon) in July and also last week and both times it happened. The first time there was a coyote swimming out trying to get to the carcass after the otters were done with it, but he eventually gave up.
