Laptop Advice Needed
I bought a Lenovo Flex 14 2-in-1 Convertible Laptop, 14 Inch FHD Touchscreen Display, AMD Ryzen 5 3500U Processor, 12GB DDR4 RAM, 256GB NVMe SSD, Windows 10, 81SS000DUS, Black, Pen Included for my wife last Christmas. If you aren’t doing GPU-intensive stuff, it’s a compact, quick laptop. Right in your price range, too.The touchscreen is superfluous for many, but if you’re used to using an iPad or other tablet, it’s good to have.

Disney already had it in the MCU.

Star Wars: The Bad Batch, new animated series in 2021
Anyone else think, just for a moment, that they're setting up a Boba/Omega romance to imitate Loki?

Rick and Morty
It wasn’t worth the hype. It wasn’t a bad episode and it answers some questions, but it still hasn’t regained its edge. And it probably won’t.

KVM Switch for monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset?
So I went ahead and got a USB C KVM and a 4-port USB 3.0 hub, both from StarTech. After playing around for a couple of hours, I discovered my main personal laptop, (Asus Republic of Gamers), doesn’t support video out with USB C. I previously had a hub where it did provide video out, but not with the StarTech KVM. Whatever. I used my alternate computer, (Lenovo Legion), and it worked fine. My work computer always worked fine with the KVM.

KVM Switch for monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset?
Thanks. Guess I’ll get a hub. I was hoping for an all-in-one solution. I found a couple of older ones that don’t support USB C, but it seems that the industry hasn’t caught up to all USB setups.

KVM Switch for monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset?
Bump. I'm looking for a KVM for home. I have a single, widescreen monitor; a single USB Logitech unifying receiver for my keyboard and mouse; a USB headset; and, a USB webcam. I would really like a KVM that uses USB C to connect to the computers and has three USB (preferably 3.0) ports to share these peripherals. Four USB ports would be even better. The monitor will accept USB C, HDMI, and DisplayPort. I only need to support two laptops at a time, but I wouldn't be upset if it supported more. And if I could get a KVM that passes through power, awesome. After spending a couple of hours looking, it seems like no one is making a modern KVM, or, if they do, it only has ports for one or two USB devices. Thanks for any help.

Yep, just a series about vore shit. Guys riding around on enormous fleshlights.

Surly Dad Thread
My kid won an award for his AP English class this year, his worst subject. The subject where he’d have Aspie meltdowns in middle school. (He’s actually on the spectrum.) I asked him about it, he said he was just better at it than the rest of the class.

Loki on Disney+
That’s pretty much what I said, though I knew that a comic fan would be along to criticize my use of the word “multiverse” because I’m too lazy to look up the overarching term for the entirety of everything.

They’re going to run the Marvel franchise into the ground by going full comic-book on the multiverse. That’s not a criticism, just the best path forward. Otherwise you end up with the historical hodgepodge of separate universes, frequent reboots, and failure to extract every last dime from fans.- Rick and Morty
I have no problem quitting on shows. There are very few shows, in fact, that I’ve watched all the way through, especially in the pre-binge era. R&M has settled into comfortable sitcom territory. It still has the promise of developing the overall plot(s), (Evil Morty, etc.), but even without that, the eps can be entertaining.- Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon A Time In Hollywood
LOL. The scene isn’t of pussy eating, it’s a now-cringe discussion at the beginning of the movie.- Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon A Time In Hollywood
Not too long ago I rewatched Pulp Fiction. It occurred to me, as I explained the ninja sword to my teenage son who wandered through the room, that the collection of characters and aesthetic is just one step above the urban legends that make up Less Than Zero (the novel). Doesn’t mean it wasn’t a great movie that changed the path of the industry, but parts of it are as cringe as the pussy eating scene in Chasing Amy.- Loki on Disney+
FATWS needed to be longer, maybe 12 eps, and include the virus plot (or another subplot). It needed to be slower and to give the plot time to marinate. It ended up being formulaic and almost checkbox-driven. Not just show us once to establish the plot element, e.g. not being able to trade on his name with the bank, but actually make us feel something. WV and Loki had no problems in that regard.- South Africa Things Going On
Canada is probably easier, but that’s just what I’ve heard. If I were in ZA, I’d look into the digital nomad destinations like Cancun, SE Asia, etc.- Loki on Disney+
This Kang sometimes seemed like he was channeling Bill Cosby and was about to ask if they wanted a pudding pop. Or like Willy Wonka. It was great to see a true believer villain that isn’t a zealot.- Moving from Google Workspace to Windows 365. What am I getting into?
Anyone have a good AND *free* mbox to .pst converter? I've found one for $25 in the MS app store, but was hoping I could save a buck.- Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon A Time In Hollywood
Much like South Austin’s mom’s penis, it only seems long the first time.- Rick and Morty
I’m choosing to interpret this episode as a satirization of the low-hanging fruit. If they’re serious with that “You’re a woman now” shit, well, the show sucks exactly as much as you say it does.- Rick and Morty
It was all over the place, but they kept at it and it was funny.- Carney Ride Doing Carney Things
Shouldn't this be in the fat people thread? I kid. If there was a moment in life where being a fatass like me would've helped, this was it.- Rick and Morty
I thought Morty lying in bed was both sad AND funny.- Rick and Morty
A beautiful, funny ep that advances that narrative. No complaints. - Loki on Disney+
