One of the best things on 80's TV.
I don't know if today's stuff holds water, by comparison.

A discussion yesterday about netflix shows dropping 50% of their audience between season 1 and 2 was talking about this. Shows used to run 9 months and have 22 - 26 shows in that time. Then there'd be a 3 month hiatus before you got another 22+ episodes. A streaming show would take 7 season to get to 50 episodes, and with a year or more between 8 episode chunks it'd take 15 years to get there.
I don't miss filler episodes or saving the budget for sweeps, but I miss shows I love constantly producing new content.

I got diagnosed later in life and I spent a while thereafter realizing things about people I grew up with. Like my band teacher who spent his free time trying to master big band era jazz trombone and was the biggest railfan I've ever known.
Sometime between November 5th 2024 and Jan 20th 2025 I decided I had better replace my ailing laptop before something drove prices up. I was debating between the 32G of RAM I needed and the 64G I wanted. I am really glad I splurged back then. The way costs have gone between tariffs and AI's demand for braaainz (plus the fact that vibe coders don't make any account for efficiency or specs) it feels like I practically got it for free.
It's the day after important provisions were struck out of the Declaration of Independence by committee.
My experience with Netflix shows tends to go like this: I hear about a new show from people at work (or maybe here). I watch and enjoy season 1. I never hear about the show again until someone mentions that there sad it was cancelled after additional seasons I never heard about.
Personally, I find it hard to watch things when I don't know they exist.
Every person on the internet that responded to an earnest tech question with "sudo rm -rf /" helped make this happen.
Good on you.
Someone should invade Rubio's house and demand the deed to one of his rooms before they'll leave.

Took just a few months to go from, "I can make a wifi connected weather station for like $20 in components!?" to "oscilloscopes cost how much?"
Community Points are the first step towards a better future for online communities. In order to be truly independent from platforms like Reddit, communities need to be owned by their members in ways that platforms cannot take away. With the advent of blockchain technology, we now have a way to establish this freedom in a decentralized and secure way.
The way to be independent of Reddit is by having a token on a blockchain maintained by Reddit?
Nah, he told me he's me and to not worry about it. Why wouldn't I trust myself?
