“There’s a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.”

I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass… and I’m all out of bubble gum.

I want to believe.

IMHO…fuck yes! It’s a funny and clever movie that should’ve gotten more recognition but was overshadowed by other releases that same year. As a grown man on the edge of 40 it’s one of my favorite movies and never fails to get a laugh. Endlessly quotable, lots of clever little jokes and gags that are hilarious when you notice them.

I’d say it’s absolutely worth at least one watch and if you like it enough to watch it again you’ll definitely notice some things that you didn’t the first time around and get a whole new set of laughs.

I think it’s time we blow this scene

Wanna go to a club where people wee on each other?

It’s absolutely a personal preference. Some people don’t care, others do. A 3.5mm headphone jack is a requirement for any phone that I buy along with a micro SD card slot. It’s getting more and more difficult to find devices that meet those requirements but that’s a choice that I make. Along with unlockable bootloader and the ability to be rooted, but that’s a whole different issue.

3.5mm headphone jack just works with anything you plug into it and it has for decades. No pairing, no charging headphones or earbuds, no latency, better sound quality, no having to choose between charging the device and having audio output OR find the right OTG dongle.

A lot of people don’t care about this at all and that’s fine. But for those of us who do I really hope that these options don’t disappear entirely just to sell more Bluetooth earbud garbage and cloud storage subscriptions.

“Babe I really love you. Like REALLY! What could possibly make our relationship better? OH I KNOW! LET’S GET THE GOVERNMENT INVOLVED!!!”

IT’S HEDLEY!

Good ol’ Fairbanks. Dirt Fest just hasn’t been the same since they changed it to Paved Fest.

It would be easy enough to have a raspberry pi always connected that just pings google.com or some other website every few seconds/minutes. I’m not sure that’s your best solution or even what the best solution would be, but that would be very easy to set up.

Thanks for the detailed info!

I use PocketCasts but all of the responses here are making me consider trying out AntennaPod.

SO SAY WE ALL!

Root the phone and remove insane garbage like that. Rip and tear until it is done.

I use Rhasspy to control my Home Assistant setup. All local and works great. There’s a bit of a learning curve to set it all up but once you get the hang of it things are pretty easy.
