Still has it, he just bought this Cube to act as an example when he covers topics related to ICE cars.

What's the spin? They look to have done an incredible amount of work eliminating technical debt, and the UX improvements are outstanding, IMO.

They're switching from Wxwidgets to a Qt base so they can reuse the Qt base of Musescore.

The wittiness added a lovely complexity to the flavor, and the graphs gave a much needed texture to the data stream.

GrapheneOS is at Google's mercy. They were alarmed when google changed the way they released the source code for the pixel 10 recently, and while they ultimately were able to deal with the change, it's causing them a lot if extra work.

If google ever wanted to, they could completely screw over Graphene, since Graphene is ultimately reliant on Google playing ball.

A pure Linux phone would not be reliant on a big corporation to exist.

That seems high, are you sure that wasn't for one of the higher clocked models? I built my PC in 2004, and according to this article, the lower end models were $170.

I can't quite remember what I paid, I feel like it was less than that, though. I might've gotten it on sale from Tigerdirect.

Accounting for inflation that is probably still a bit high.

The Athlon 64 was pretty affordable at the time, I think. Good little bugger too, was able to use it right up to 2013 before YouTube videos became too sluggish.

Phantasm is, I think, regarded as a cult classic horror film. I usually wasn't into that genre, but I took a chance on this one since the trailer looked cool, and I'm glad I did.

What elevates it for me is that it drifts a bit more into the cosmic-horror side of things, which makes it a bit more compelling, and stands out.

It was a fairly low budget film, but they squeezed some decent effects out of it, plus a wicked cool car.

The acting can trend into B-movie territory, but they hold their own for the most part. The story and pacing were pretty solid.

If that sounds good, you'll probably enjoy it!

Be warned, there's some nudity fairly early on.

If you aren't in a union, then please consider joining the IWW to unionize your workplace (bonus: you'll get higher wages, better benefits, and more time off if you succeed!) to strengthen a general strike if we finally manage to enact one.

And for our international friends, you should join one as well, as fascism is gaining momentum globally.
