How cool! I had the manga when I was a kid and absolutely adored it. Totally forgot that it existed.

I imagine they mean M. Night’s 2010 movie, The Last Airbender. I thought this was pretty obvious, but upon Googling learned that his film was not called Avatar: The Last Airbender like the show is.

I enjoyed this one quite a bit, although as many have mentioned it gets pretty wild towards the end. I have no nostalgia for the original, but watched it a few months before this one and the two contrast really well. For one, Thom Yorke’s soundtrack is absolutely stunning and such an interesting choice considering Goblin’s music in the original.

I think Mint is better out of the box than it used to be. I was on it maybe 5 or 6 years ago and had to troubleshoot a few issues, but I just came back to it a few months ago and everything worked flawlessly out of the box.

I’m relatively new to Mint, but I thought that sudo apt update just checked for updates and sudo apt upgrade -y was for actually installing the updates. I don’t see why that would break it though.

Regarding the Marvel movies, I’ve slowly been working through them because I missed the bus when they were big and only saw a handful here and there (Doctor Strange, Guardians Vol 1 and Tom Holland’s Spider-Man movies, which are actually pretty good).

I made it past the first Avengers movies and I think they start getting better after Iron Man 3, Thor 2 and Avengers: Age of Ultron, but oh my gosh if the majority of the movies up to and including the first Avengers aren’t incredibly mid at best. I think watching them after all of the hype as they were coming out loses some of the charm, and I have to give props to what they accomplished creating a Cinematic Universe. But they are just so whatever.

Just kind of rambling, but the whole MCU seems to be incredibly over-saturated and I would be amazed if they are able to continue to carry popularity even close to what they had leading up to Endgame.

I’ll take another look at it. I had a pihole setup and tried to switch it over when I moved to ATT but couldn’t find any DNS options. After some quick Googling the unanimous answer seemed to be that ATT doesn’t let you. But I’ll look into it again, I would love to get my pihole working again.

I have zero love for ATT but love my fiber plan. I’d like to switch, since they don’t let me change the DNS server, but the plan I had before was awful and my internet dropped all the time.

About half way through Mother/Earthbound Zero on my NES flashcart. I’ll have to pick Earthbound up after. I got about half way through years ago but never finished it.

Most recently finished Crystalis.

The first picture is the first A Nightmare on Elm Street (thats Johnny Depp, fyi). I think the second picture is the second Nightmare movie (it has a baseball game in gym class scene but I’m not sure if that’s it). I couldn’t tell you what the last picture is from but I would guess one of the Friday the 13th movies.

Edit: I think the second and third pictures go together. Maybe they’re both Nightmare 2 but I’m not sure.

In my experience Google is a bit better than DDG. I tried it out a few years ago and often found myself going back to Google for certain searches. Been using DDG again for a few weeks and having a somewhat similar experience.

I agree, but in my experience the focused communities that I liked to browse on Reddit were almost never toxic. The difference may be that I deliberately went to the specific communities that I was interested in; I generally never just browsed Popular, where I’m sure the bulk of the toxicity was.

Unfortunately the communities that I’m interested in have next to no activity here, so I would definitely like to see more users.

Pretty much none of the communities that I used to browse on Reddit are active here, so I wouldn’t mind more people here.

It’s not. It took me a second to figure out, but there is a numbered dot with shading relative to ownership on the state. Then there is also a black dot with a line that labels it. For example, look at Cary, NC. I was confused because it looks like it’s labeled twice, but it’s just the way that the chart was designed. If you look at a state like Texas with more cities in the data, it makes sense that it makes it easier to name each of the cities from one point, but it can look confusing when a state only has one city in the data.

I really hope it has USB-C so I can finally get an iPhone. It blows my mind that all of their other devices adopted USB-C while they stick with lightning for their phones.

In my experience, Instagram has also become the most reliable source for local restaurants randomly being closed (this has happened more often than I would like to discuss post-pandemic) and breweries (i.e. which food truck is at which brewery on any given day).

I have found those to be the only reasons that I ever check Instagram.
