As an advocate for #cablemanagement, I appreciate this scene from the movie #Ronin. It's one of the few cable management scenes ever in a major motion picture. Technique isn't the best, but it brings attention to this important issue.
@ManObjects@C4x4C2001 And I forgot to mention managing your vehicles! You could buy a horse & carriage, multiple boats, and a magic carpet (that seated like 10 people). But you couldn't keep those things in your inventory. You had to store them somewhere and remember where you left them.🤣
@ManObjects@C4x4C2001 Feeding your party. Sleeping. Managing the inventory of eight people. Managing a store of a dozen magic reagent types. That game is crazy. There was nothing like it at the time. Could benefit from quality-of-life upgrades, but still, the ambition.
@KennethRWebster Leftists in general are super opposed to "stand your ground" laws because using deadly force should be such a last resort that you need to run away if at all possible, even if it's your own house.
I'm not sure how one can reconcile that with thinking this thug was justified.
@ggreenwald And if you're a widower who remarried "too early" according to Trump's totally non-arbitrary, not-pulled-out-of-his-ass standards ... boy oh boy, are you going to hear about it from him. Joe Kent, Thomas Massie -- I don't know about those guys. Getting remarried. Pretty suspect.
@Newsweek What percent of your readers now the legal standard for use of deadly force in self defense?
When people know that standard -- and it's not hard -- hand-wringing like this goes away.
But you don't want to inform. You want to agitate.
@EndWokeness "We're going to have to have some conversations about race in this country."
The HR department schedules those like once a month. Unfortunately I've had a conflict each time.
@brenonade Lutnick will make billions on this pizza eating because he purchased Presidential Folded Pizza Luxury Box Dual-Outcome New York Sentiment Recovery Derivatives for pennies on the dollar.
@NotSonnyFaz Whoever wins, Lutnick will make billions on this game because he purchased Multi-Contingent NBA Finals Dual-Market Viewership-to-Merchandise Arbitrage Recovery Swaps with Embedded Player Performance, Injury, and Global Broadcast Volatility Triggers for pennies on the dollar.
No deal is required for us to just walk away.
It’s evident that we can’t stop either side from attacking the other.
There is only one realistic choice we have—stay & get sucked further into the war or look out for our interests & just walk.
@hayasaka_aryan There are lot of things in the 80's there were not very good that people who were kids them harbor fond feelings for. Every one of those things will be weaponized against us. The trick is, stop harboring fond feelings for things that were, in hindsight, crap.
@bavedikian Had a Sylvania (their brand) mini-fridge that stopped working. Hours on the phone with their offshore call center. Hauled it into a local store two different times.
Finally got a local rep. who was like, "here's store credit for the fridge." 🥲
But you never know with them.
MAGA -- soon as they got right back into power -- went from "The evil Deep State is interfering in our politics" to "We demand that the NSA and CIA have the right to spy on American citizens without warrants."
Pete Hegseth: give us this power or the terrorists will kill you.
@bavedikian A few years ago, I bought an Xbox from Dell. This was during Covid when they were pretty hard to get.
It got delivered to a Target distribution center in my city. That’s where the trail ended. Also, FedEx, IIRC.
Dell simply sent me a new one. 🤷
