Can you get 4k content on any streaming services with kodi?

A bunch of macOS usability tools that I am definitely taking for granted at this point.

Basically everything that made being middle class fun has turned into another race to the bottom in terms of quality and enjoyment because of capitalism.

Don’t let the irritation take that away from you. I used to be a movie buff. But I also still am. My solution is just to ignore the previews. I don’t let it bother me because I am in control of my own life and feelings. So if I am going to a theater with someone, I wait outside until the movie starts (if possible… hard to do with kids). Otherwise I’m fine with streaming.

And even though Tom Cruise is the public face of shitology, those Mission Impossible movies are pretty good. Better than the last few Bond movies for sure. Learn to find things that you like. stoicism

My local cinema now plays older movies too. I got shocked by walking in a few minutes late to the opening of LOTR: The Fellowship of The Ring because it started at the listed showtime! So I’ll support them by going to their older movie showings now. It’s nice to not get ramrodded with ads and movie spoilers.

Maybe they need to tell theaters to calm the fuck down with their pricing and ads. Do one or the other. If I’m paying $15+/ticket to see a show, then don’t lie to me about the showtime and include half an hour of commercials.

Not trying to be a dick here, but do you honestly think that you, a non-expert who likely doesn’t even practice in ecology or environmental sciences, are the authority here on whether any studies have attempted to account for the water consumption based on the feed variety and sources?

Because if you thought of it as a way to shoot down a random internet comment, then the experts who work in the field have certainly done so and followed through with those calculations already. Have you ever met a professor? They fucking love to tear apart arguments because it gets their names into publications and that’s how they earn tenure and notoriety for grant funding.

Really, the fault of the regulations is that the penalties for the number of vehicles in the heavy polluting category weren’t nearly stiff enough. That’s a big part of why the automakers went the opposite direction and just made bigger and heavier vehicles - they could.

The Toyota Tundra honestly makes the Ford F150 feel small.

You’re mostly right. The main problem is that manufacturers chose to ignore the spirit of the US CAFE fuel economy regulations, and instead build everything bigger and bigger. That’s why quarter-ton trucks grew to the size of the F150 in the year 2000 when they were quite a bit smaller before.

It’s not the fault of the regulation. It is the fault of the manufacturers and to an equal extent, of consumers for preferring gigantic vehicles.

And let’s not let GM off the hook for the 1990s Suburban, which began to, quite literally, dominate the roads. Those fuckers were the original huge grocery getter, and they had truly awful turning radius and blind spots. You just couldn’t drive them safely or courteously if you tried. So of course everyone wanted more powerful and bigger vehicles to compete.
