@reiver @triptych That’s funny, I’m setting this up later in the week.

“Whatcha putting in the bucket boy?”
My dogs are weird. Not sure if they’re saving them from the cat or keeping them for themselves.

Also, Yahoo Serious could have made an excellent kids show. He could have been like Bill Nye, The Wiggles, and Blippi all rolled into one, but better. I think he was like 20 years too early.

@acnewberry That's awesome, congrats!

Watched Young Einstein with the kiddo this week and she keeps asking for it.

@herbincowgirl@mindly.social Now you see the wisdom in the front porch🙂

I weirdly remember a lot from when I was pretty young. Ages 2-4. I still remember a lot of routes and roads we would take at the time(all based on landmarks), so tonight I ran through Google Earth and Streetview to verify some of those memories. I didn’t miss a turn, but it was surreal. Heidi is good with directions and knowing where she is too. Many of the landmarks were still there. NC isn’t Europe old, but it is so much older than CO. Things were shaped in a world before automobiles.

@82mhz I don’t think it ever died, but there does seem to be a renewed and growing interest to make the net a better place.

@BigSkyRider It used to be somewhat amusing/dumbfounding watching Brits embrace growing bureaucracy, but now it has gotten to be be a global problem. Have people ever been able to peacefully dismantle bureaucracy or must it always come down to war, death, and chaos?

@Jo_PrayerN_actionCenter That looks like kudzu root, that stuff is a menace in NC.

@Jo_PrayerN_actionCenter That is funny! I’m pretty sure that verse is made up though.

@amerika Well, USB storage can come in pretty small form factors. I bet one could fit a great many in a machine the size of a Redbox. People maybe could bring their own or purchase a blank drive. The box could contain a selection orders of magnitude larger than the Blu-ray/DVD version.

@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.
