But it was O'Neal and Teal'c that were caught in the time loop.

"Ok Boomer."

But seriously though. After the proliferation of the printing press, I'm willing to bet, someone made the exact same joke about printed books. And I know that the Boomers' parents made the same joke about television, and their grandparents made the same joke about radio. And this isn't even really a Boomer joke, it's a Gen-X joke. I know because my boomer parents actually made this joke about Gameboys and walk-mans before the Internet (or at least convenient portable Internet) was even really a ubiquitous thing. It's just that Boomers are living longer and are so damn vocal and numerous that they are STILL making this joke, updated for the modern generation.

What technology will gen-Y and gen-alpha lament about in stale memes?

God what a naive and toxic attitude. This peak toxic troll thinking that has absolutely no place in any useful discourse. With all sincerity, you should really seek help. I really do pity you. This isn't flattery. I'm not angry. I'm not celebrating you. I don't care to hurt you. You're just a sad fool and I hope you find a way to be better.

Getting weirder and weirder is the only viable direction a Master of the Universe movie can go for success. Don't you remember the last movie?

I was going to say something snarky too, but this is the only sane take here. Nothing more needs to be said.

Ok, not to many other comments, still though.

Expensive certifications that your employer will reimburse you for that potentially increase your earnings potential and value in the job market if you do change employers? Are those worth getting? Yes. Employer not paying you for them? Still, maybe yes. Do you really need to ask? Or are you looking for an excuse to not do the thing recommended by your mentors and that's not giving you instant gratification and a dopamine hit (like this place does)?

Sports photography is not a cheap hobby. Expect to spend 10 times your budget just to get started. You can save (some) money by shopping used on sites like adorama or B&H. Older models of DSLR can be had for a pretty good deal because all the kids these days are hyped about mirrorless. Expect to do a lot of research and wade through a lot of articles written by gear obsessed people with money to burn. I think you can still browse archives of dpreview.com for some in depth reviews and specs, especially if you're shopping older models.

Pretty much any consumer camera with an interchangeable lens will do the job, it's the lens that will really determine how good a picture you can get. There's a reason you see a lot of HUGE (and expense) lens on the sidelines. Megapixels are much less important these days because pretty much everything has enough. The metrics you'll be looking to maximize will be a fast autofocus system, a fast lens, and a long enough focal length to get your view in close to your subject from a distance. You might be able to find something that is "good enough" in a cheaper range with a camera with a built-in lens. If you get bit by the photography bug though, that might turn out to be a waste of money if you decide you want to upgrade.

Any show with a cold open and Cheers, which also often had a cold open. Watching a Cheers cold open featuring Coach followed by the theme makes me feel (for a little bit) like a child and everything is going to be okay.

Do you not understand that it is the people that make any city shit hole? Like, it can't be blamed on the buildings, the landscape, or the economy. A city isn't a place, it's the people. When someone says a city is a shit hole, they ARE insulting the people.

Also: bacon, chives, green onions, parsley, other herbs. If you have a decent pair of kitchen shears, you can even break down a whole chicken in no time. Kitchen shears are my preferred method of spatchcocking a chicken for roasting.

You don't have to be gay to uplift and compliment the other men you interact with. That's just a side effect of toxic masculinity. Men can compliment each other, uplift each other, and say "Hey man, you're looking good today. You make that shirt look good!" without being gay. Not that I disagree with anything you said, just you're comment got me thinking about the weird effects of the patriarchy on men supporting other men.

Yeah, they got the sudo placement inside out. You "sudo crontab -e" and put your commands there that need sudo, you don't sudo the individual commands in the regular user's crontab.
