I liked movie Hammond too, don't get me wrong. It's just a completely different story because of the character shift.

The movie really dumbed Hammond down to "overly optimistic money guy with a vision". Which was a bit distasteful if you've read the books. Just a bit.

Given that Reddit started banning people left and right, I don't think the "banned from Reddit" bagde is one of shame.

Mind you this was ~12 years ago, and I was quite out of it. Not sure what exactly they did or did not. Most of this is retelling from what the doctor told me the next day, after surgery.

mind you, any and all democrats will be un-redacted.

My favourite part about getting an MRI was actually not getting one.

Explanation: had a pretty rough cycling accident in uni, busted my kneecap. Which didn't start hurting until two days later, but then it was absolutely mind numbing pain. So bad that my flatmate had to call an ambulance.

Ambulance takes me in, with a watermelon sized knee, and they immediately want to take me for an MRI to assess the damage. At this point I've got a biiiiig dose of some kind of pain management medication that made me super hazy.

Just barely in time I managed to tell the doctor that they can't do MRI because I have a magnet implant in my finger. Disaster barely, but averted.

To streaming?

Never.

Streaming is a finite market that is already covered. The moment old money (aka existing media companies) jumped on it, it was done for.

There's a very simple explanation to every "how is (niche technological thing) not more popular?" questions, and that is simply... Most people are perfectly happy with the defaults.

Don't take this Fediverse instance and the people who interact with it as an example. Even Reddit's tech subs are very niche serving, most of the responders will be people who live and die with tech... which does NOT represent the great majority of people.

Said great majority is perfectly happy with their phones as is. The default keyboard is 99% of the time perfectly usable. So people don't even feel a need to change. Therefore niche keyboards will have very little popularity. Even big ones like SwiftKey.

Technically the US is on the map, though. Puerto Rico is right there.

Based on this, Trump was old by the time he turned 20

Now that you mention it, the real life DoW does feel like a parody of the TV show Space Force.
