On an episode of BBC's: Planet Earth I saw an eagle grab a small goat, carry it off a cliff, and dropped it. Effective to be sure and kind of clever for the bird, but terrifying to watch.

You only need a key to activate Windows. Windows 10 and later will install and run just fine without activation.

Those red hats do seem to have a "mark of the beast" flair to them. They aren't the permanent mark indicated in Revelation 13:16, but I think if you wear it every day it may as well be.

I'm not a Christian, but his followers certainly are. I wonder how they don't see it?

Pi

The main character is an unemployed mathematician with schizoid personality disorder whose social interactions are mostly with his old professor and the people in his apartment building. The movie is a thriller, but the main character's isolation from the rest of the world is rather stark. This is helped by the fact that it was filmed in high-contrast black and white.

So that's what that guy's name is! Never knew before. Thanks!

Still don't really know who he is. Also don't care.

I'm rather fond of Murphy's burst-fire pistol and hide-away leg holster in Robocop. If we are talking the coolest gun, it's got to be the Zorg ZF-1 from the Fifth Element.

UPS used to give real time tracking info here, but that disappeared sometime in mid to late-2023.

Agreed on the rest though, Amazon and UPS delivery are both much better than FedEx. I could not think of FedEx being a good retailer until they can improve the quality of their deliveries.

MS Solitaire, Space Pinball, and Minesweeper come to mind. They were not my favorites, but I know a few people who have a few hundred hours on one or more of those.

For me it's C&C Generals Zero Hour. I have had a copy since it released in 2003, it still works, and I still play it in single player mode at least once a week. It's great because it does not require a huge time commitment and campaign missions take about an hour or less to complete. To me it's one of the best RTS style games out there. My second favorite? C&C Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge.

I have also very much enjoyed the Assassin's Creed series up to AC Odyssey.

If what he is saying is that Russia wants the land known as Ukraine and Israel wants the land known as Gaza; I agree, Russia and Israel have similar goals.

Freedom of speech means that you won't be jailed by the government for speaking your mind even when your position is not popular.

Freedom of speech does not mean that everyone gets to speak and be heard on any subject they desire to whoever they want. It also does not mean that everyone, or anyone, wants to hear it. Individuals are free to censor you as much as they want.

Interaction is a community effort with a social contract that everyone tries to behave within the bounds of the community rules. If you break those rules, even if for a good reason, it is not unreasonable for the community to object.

Millions of Americans don't understand the difference between a computer virus and a biological virus. Dumb people want dumb things.
