Netflix. They cancel anything worthwhile, flood the channel with knockoff realty programming, and charge the most.

Close second would be Max because Zaslav and the Discovery merger have have ruined it. Again, canceling good programming in a race to the reality show bottom while charging a premium price.

What happened with the grapefruit?

Practicing his mime skills while surfing. It’s called multitasking. 😉

Lemmy is the new Reddit. Mastadon is the new Twitter.

I don’t expect them to be the same.

Do you have a citation for this that doesn’t lead back to “lead safe mama”?

That blogger claims everything contains lead. It’s her m.o. Don’t believe everything you read on the internet.

Corning Ware doesn’t contain lead.

Background network refreshes in apps mostly. You still get push notifications, messages, and phone calls. New emails are only downloaded when you open the app.

Is there any kind of part number stamped into the plastic somewhere?

An ex-boss. After many run-ins with HR, she still works there somehow. I don’t.

What show is this?

This seems like more of a trailer than a teaser. I’m not complaining. I’m actually unimpressed by “teaser trailers” that are just a logo or some words on the screen. It’s nice to see some actual scenes from the movie for a change.

Actors used to be on the hook for overdub voice work after shooting wrapped. I don’t know if that’s still the case.

Honestly, I’m more concerned about high budget movies where I can’t understand a fucking word. I know there have been many articles and YouTube videos on the subject, but there’s really no excuse for that nonsense.
