Florida. Because all arrest records and mugshots are pretty much immediately available to the public they get the most stories of dumb criminals in the media

sacrifices had to be made when turning the country ~100º counter clockwise to get that sweet inland sea between them and Spain

Oh man, I remember 7th Guest that game was so cool - a video game with live action cut scenes! That was the same genre as Rama (1996)

I got ID’d the other day to buy beer. I’m almost 40.

I get where OP is coming from overall, but that’s kinda been Futurama’s thing. Other places it’s shoe horned in and lazy but that’s been like half of Futurama’s episodes (and the vast majority of South Park) since the beginning.

That being said, I do think the quality of TV has been going downhill for years and few things seem to really be original anymore.

I posted this elsewhere, but according to a quick Google it’s up to $18k per tree and from the images I found, it’s 5 trees. $90k is couch cushion money to Universal. They DGAF about fines.

Depends on the use case. I used to make websites (~10 years ago) and someone wanted an image scroller and I knew for a fact someone else would want the same thing but with a different number of images showing and maybe instead of clicking next it shows the next image it shows the next 3 images etc. We had piles of very specific scrolling scripts that weren’t flexible and were hard to bring to another site. I spent a bunch of my own time making a single script that could cover most cases and it ended up saving a ton of time and became the go-to script for everyone.

Eventually someone else came in and upgraded the script and made it better before making it a core script. Now with a couple HTML classes (and a little CSS) anything can be a scroller. Options can be changed with a few data attributes.

Sometimes it’s worth it sometimes it’s not. I’ve had things so specific that I coded it like I was robbing a liquor store (get in and out as fast as possible).

If I had a dollar for every time I proposed spending more time on something to make it flexible and able to grow but being told to “hard code it” to save time, I’d have several dollars. If I had a dollar for every time I had to patch that 6 months later, I’d have several more dollars.

Unrelated to the artical, but years ago I bought a Corsair k95 and got a box of them (4x). Gave away 2 of them but I still have one new in box if mine ever gives out.

I (38 m) still have a blanky I sleep with - mostly because my cat will only sleep in my bed if it’s there, she will (mostly) only sit in my lap if it’s there and she pretty much just hangs out in whatever room it’s in… Yeah… It’s her blankly, I’m just its mode of transport to make sure she hangs out with me.
