I just take 5,000 iu of vitamin D and skip the Sun business most days.

And you might still miss some things the first time but it makes rewatches even better. I rarely feel the desire to rewatch shows, even good ones, Deadwood is the exception.

Hell even the set is amazing because the background extras took their roles so seriously, listening to the commentary tracks the lead actors noted that the background extras/actors developed their own routines and really made the camp come to life.

It had more of a living history museum or renaissance fair vibe than that of a stale set. Everyone invovled with the project had passion for their role no matter how small.

Right, I think he had a lot more in the tank that we never got to see.

For years I was upset that Deadwood never had a fourth season. When I learned more about Milch and listened to his recent memoir that came out in 2022 I was just glad those first 3 seasons made it to air.

Many people don’t survive all the drugs, family problems and a gambling addiction that he had going for him.

It would be cool to see the alternative universe where the other frat member becomes president or the one where Deadwood doesn’t get cancelled but this one could be a lot worse really.

BSG is a very different show but there might be some crossover between the fanbases. Deadwood is legacy HBO, the quality and depth of cast is on another level compared to what the scifi channel had at the time.

It’s also endlessly quotable, that’s one thing I miss about reddit is the small /r/Deadwood sub. You’ll see some general “cocksucka” quotes in the wild but that sub has multiple rewatches under their belt and uses the full range. I have to revist some posts there everytime I rewatch it.

Anyway, here’s one of my favorites from Wild Bill in S01E04: https://webm.red/view/cn5t.webm

Both shows are at the top but Deadwood’s dialogue has a deliberate rhythm to it that is unmatched. If you get on it’s wave length you’re in for a treat. I watch it at least once a year and never grow tired of it.

David Milch the creator details his thought process on the rhythm of the dialogue and the push back he got with use of obscenity here: https://youtu.be/F2qk7W8_KLE?si=LxeRNs2N_-kzKiGb&t=1196 (20:01) Once he’s done answering that question (around 29:00) i’d stop watching if you haven’t seen Deadwood as there are spoilers later in the talk.

Thank your ancestors for that. Couldn’t think up any new names on their way over so they resused a bunch.

Good god Lemon.

Having to find an ATM to be able to complete a transaction

Much like cash an ATM isn’t needed by a lot of people as they bank online and use cards. Crypto has all those options as well.

Point is here you either adapt or have to find a new job because old payment processors won’t let you sell your Giraffe bukkake art. It is what it is.

I didn’t “sell it for cash” I paid my VPS hosting bills with it. It’s simple for business to accept crypto these days, couple clicks and they’re set up.

If your business is making NSFW art than you better be willing to adapt.

What potato stays hot for 15 years?

Is it? The ATMs have been all over the place for half a decade at this point.

As for fees it cost me 3 cents to send a $50 Litecoin transaction a few days ago. If I did that with Bitcoin it would have cost me $8 in transaction fees so you’re right there.

Now days there’s a coin for every purpose.

• Bitcoin = gold bars

• Litecoin = mundane transactions

• Monero = digital cash

Crypto has been around for 15 years already. Time flys.

We better adapt soon becuse the village is dead and it isn’t coming back.

I feel like I can still navigate through it because I did the previous levels but the difficulty is definitely higher.

We’re now on level 35 and n00bs are still coming online. A kid or grandma have no shot at defeating the boss AI video or deepfake on this level, hell I don’t even have a great win rate on them.

And you get crucified by them if you bring it up.

I understand battling the pull of phones and tablets with kids is hard but you’re lying to your self if you think it’s going to work out ok if you give in, every other kid has one how bad could it go really?

We all know this yet the ones with kids who need to do something about it don’t, as a result kids are getting dumber by the year.

TV had a limited capacity to mess kids up and it largely didn’t. Youtube and the internet on then other hand are in the vast majority of kids pockets with 0 restrictions.

Reading the first hand reports of what this looks like from /r/teachers will black pill you on the future quicker than any post on climate change or war.

It’s an impressive FOSS project, scracthes the fast paced Quake itch but not a lot of people have that these days.

I use to play it’s predecessor Nexuiz for years, you might recognize a few maps as some were updated for Xonotic.

Shout out to the crew who played on the HOCTF server. Had well over a 1000 hours on there.

Newer monitors are also good options. Usually they have enough HDCP compliant ports these days and none of the bullshit.

Pair with a sound bar or surround sound system and you got a great setup.

How can this be a legally enforceable contract?!

I’d like to think it can’t be but it’s the US so who knows.

Changing the terms after buying the device and in a way that your kid could accept them by hitting ok on the remote is bonkers.

I’m definitely doing it. Worth the cost of a stamp.

I don’t even have a Roku TV just an Ultra hooked up to a monitor so not a lot to lose but it’s the principal of the thing.

This was talked about briefly in October but it’s still flying under the radar imo. The Oct 7th attack took place on these very left leaning pacifist communties who believed in peace and liked to work with the Palestinians and their cause, more than most Israelis.

Many of the kibbutzniks who experienced October 7 can’t bear to hear Arabic and want to see Gaza erased.

The trauma is stronger than their worldview

I was wondering if it might push those with that pacifist/hippy outlook on life to change and it appears it has.

When even the hippies are yearning for scorched earth tactics it doesn’t bode well for winding down of military operations anytime soon. It also makes me think we’re far more likely to see more serious military action roll into Lebanon within a few months.

TL:DR RIP peace. We never knew ye.
