Child care cost as much as rent for many families at inflation’s peak, new data shows
  • Garbage, uhmm, you pay a monthly fee (about $30) and they take it away weekly, or if its burnable, it goes on the brush pile until the pile gets tall enough that you need a bigger tractor to pile it any higher.

    Police... Definitely wouldn't waste time calling them, the action would be over before they even finished their donuts.

  • Small-l libertarian, classical liberal, minarchist, or maybe even an Ancap, I'm not quite sure, but whichever gets the government to go away and leave people alone to live their lives as they seem fit. All the parties today are trash, compromised by foreign interests, corporations, billionaires, grifters, or worse, and I want nothing to do with them.

  • Claims in 'Duty To Warn' Letter to Harris Alleging Compromised Election Are Misleading
  • For non Americans: The bullet ballot is special voting process used in some rural areas, where they hang effigies of politicians up at a range, and issue a box of bullets to each voter. The voters then line up and fire their bullets at the politicians they hate the most. The politician with the fewest holes in them at the end of the day is declared the winner.

  • Crowd cheered as two transgender women were attacked in Minneapolis, advocates say
  • Mass immigration from certain very "unenlightened" areas may have ruined that forever, and also brought in an ideology that is extremely hostile to LGBT people and liberal values.

  • I rather take $120 and buy shittons of physical media with it. There's a fire sale on it everywhere right now because everyone is dumping it.

  • Microsoft stealthily installs Windows 10 update to nag you to upgrade to Windows 11 – and not for the first time
  • Absolutely, yes, I've had it disabled since the first W10 feature update. It gets harder with every new release, but it is doable.

    You need to manually disable these services with Regedit

    -Update Orchestrator (UsoSvc)

    -Windows Update Medic Service (WaaSMedicSvc)

    -Windows Update (wuauserv)

    -Microsoft Edge Update Service (edgeupdate + edgeupdatem)

    -Microsoft Edge Elevation Service (MicrosoftEdgeElevationService)

    Then you need to go into Task Scheduler and disable all the tasks under the services listed above. I'd also suggest not using Edge, as it will now aggressively repair Windows Update, even with all this stuff disabled.

    Also, in an attempt to provide some comparison data, and to find out what is too heavy to comfortably carry, I have weighed an arbitrary selection of common lights to compare it to the E07X.

    Based on these results, the weight is good, the flashlight is balanced well, and it feels good in the hand. I'd say the E07X fits nicely in the large coat/hoodie pocket carry category. It's fat head and thick tube make it uncomfortable in a pants pocket however, so you'll want to make use of the clip and clip it to a belt/webbing/pouch etc. Overall I'm impressed with it, it's a solid addition to my lineup, the new FFL emitters are spectacular, and I appreciate the improvements over the old E07.

    MST3K - #913 - Quest Of The Delta Knights (Remastered) FULL VERSION

    !

    A remastered and upscaled version of the never commercially released MST3K episode Quest For The Delta Knights. Possibly, the best quality version anywhere outside of the vault with the MST master tapes in it.

    This is the fully reconstructed version, with intro, host segments, and credits. Multiple sources of varying quality were used to piece everything back together, for technical reasons the frame rate of all the clips was converted to 24fps to match the movie frame rate.

    Enjoy!

    Arena ----

    1989 - PG-13 - 1h 55m

    A human becomes an unlikely rising star in the biggest fighting tournament in the galaxy that's dominated by alien species.

    ----

    Director: Peter Manoogian

    Writers: Danny Bilson, Paul De Meo

    Stars: Paul Satterfield, Hamilton Camp, Claudia Christian, Armin Shimerman, Marc Alaimo

    ----

    Storyline:

    Steve Armstrong is a human short-order cook in a fast food restaurant on a "starstation" where the most popular arena fighting tournament in the whole galaxy is held. Members of various alien species fight one on one, often dirty, to become the ruling champions of the galaxy. The restaurant's sole waiter and Steve's boss is Shorty, a short four-armed scheming humanoid alien. When Steve saves Shorty from a particularly unpleasant and violent alien guest, they're both fired by the restaurant's automated A.I. for brawling. Shorty shows gratitude and they become friends. However, without jobs, they'll both be kicked off the space station. Thankfully, Quinn, a human female no-nonsense fighting promoter, who's in quick need of new fighters, hears about Steve's fight with the alien guest and offers him sponsorship. Human fighters have traditionally been defeated easily by naturally tougher alien fighters in previous tournaments and Steve would be a real underdog. Shorty manages to convince Steve to take the offer and after some initial difficulties, Steve proves to be a really tough fighter with an actual tiny chance of success. In the eyes of humans all across the galaxy, who feel inferior to the various alien races, Steve becomes their idol and champion of humanity. Steve doesn't really want all this attention, but he understands the hope people put in him. Rogor is the tournament's crooked organizer, who's complete control over the competition and the players is shaken by Steve's surprising success. He offers one of his deals to Steve as well, but he refuses. Rogor then comes up with a plan to get rid of Steve for good, if he gets to the finals. Rogor's rat-faced yesman Weezil is eager to help. Meanwhile, beautiful Jade attracts Steve's attention.

    As ST: DS9 airs its pilot episode, PM airs this 50 minute documentary as a way to spark excitement about the new show. It includes interviews from the cast and contains sneak peaks into the show's first season.

    In the documentary, Farrell (Jadzia Dax) takes the viewer on a tour around the Deep Space 9 sets. The feature also has interviews with the cast, producers, writers and other production staff members and takes a look at the making of "Emissary".

    To my knowledge this was only aired on TV once in 1993, then was released on VHS shortly after in the US and UK, and has never been re-issued on any newer DVD releases.

    It just so happens that it was also released in Japan on Laserdisc, and I happened to find it while looking through my collection of discs. To watch this in the best possible quality, I have digitzed, restored, and upscaled this rare find to for viewing on modern devices.
