@Suiseiseki There’s no reason why they couldn’t be downloaded from a network or the internet, but I believe that there is some value in physical media. There is some educational work done when people realize that data does actually live somewhere physical and it can be more censorship/disaster resistant. Also, tactile things just connect with people on a deeper, more primitive level.

@dancinyogi You got some from the liquor store? They usually have tons of good sized boxes.

Redbox, but USB flash drives with DRM free movies at several quality levels. Would you use this service rather than pirating?

This was an interesting movie that can be summed up by a couple of its quotes:
"Maybe you'd be happy if you let people believe what they want to believe."
"What if there is nothing after this? No heaven, no hell. Just nothing. No awareness of the fact that we were ever aware at all."

I'm glad the movie posed these questions to the viewer because anyone who has ever considered their existence has probably found themselves asking them. I would like to point out that Jesus said that he was born and came into the world to testify to the truth. He came to answer these kinds of things. Yes, you might be happier if you let people believe what they want, but the right thing to do is tell them the truth. What we believe matters a lot more than short-term happiness. Also, Jesus said that there IS something after this life and he gave his life to deliver this message. If you got the message and believe it, you are the light of the world. Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

I want to know if Orville Redenbacher saw the popcorn scene in Real Genius and see the expression on his face. Could he have been the stunt double in the house?

@mike I definitely listen to podcasts while driving, even if they have video I’m not able to see.

Sitting alone in the quiet of my house and considering a nap. Such a rare and wonderful opportunity🙂

@YoSoyFreeman Hope you can get outside and enjoy the festivities!

@Russ just baptized my nephew Logan in the Koi pond a few minutes ago!

@virtualwolf Maybe a little Salvor Hardin too.🙂

Just tried and orange slice (candy) with hummus. It wasn't as bad as I was expecting.

Love this kind of stuff.

Feeling pretty bad for the crew at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. They had to sedate a tiger for a potentially life threatening dental problem and she slipped off of a waist-high bench as the anesthetic took hold. Tigers are heavy and it was enough of a fall to cause a fatal spinal injury.😞
