  • I’ve been rewatching Monk, and something that really struck me is how much of the plot is based on coincidences, and it really makes it easy to pick out the killer. I was watching an episode where Captain Stottlemeyer mentions offhand an unsolved murder at a golf course, and later on someone Monk is talking to has a golfing trophy. Immediately knew it was him because golf had been mentioned twice and this show never wastes a Chekhov’s gun, or tries very hard to misdirect. I remember saying “I don’t know why yet but it’s him.”







  • That’s the worst part, I agree with his point that we shouldn’t have blanket prosecutions…just like we shouldn’t have blanket pardons.

    I think a good followup would have been “Do you believe it is also possible there are BLM protestors who likewise had the book thrown at them?” Bring it back to the question of why they think their “protest” is more acceptable than the BLM protests.

    But it’s weird, that didn’t feel like a modern Republican interview exchange to me. Yeah he’s doing the soundbites but he’s actually responding with…logic rather than feelings? Or at least as close to logic as a Republican candidate can get these days.



  • the rule where it couldn’t be more than 12 characters long

    This is the one I don’t get. Sure you don’t want people putting in an infinitely long password, but I like to have my passwords at around 15 characters. Why are you forcing me to make a less secure password?

    Only reason I can think of is storage but even at a massive scale, this is text, paying for that storage would cost as much as a rounding error.



  • I installed Bazzite earlier this month as a dual boot and have been very happy with it. A lot of stuff just worked on bootup, haven’t installed a single driver, and that’s including my AMD GPU, just installed a game, plugged in my controller, and it played. Most games seem to run better than Windows. Fullscreen mode is a lot less annoying to tab out of - there isn’t the annoying momentary black screen, tab just happens. OBS seems to finally be on the level of Windows performance, although some of my favorite extensions are Windows-only. That’s been something of an annoyance, a lot of stuff is Windows-only, but usually if I Google “[program] Linux” I’ll get a workaround or substitute. I still leave Windows installed because of anti-cheat nonsense, but I rarely boot into Windows anymore.

    Kind of meandering but that’s my experience so far. Overall pretty satisfied.
