Probably Nico Borie

Edit: Oh, goddamnit. My dyslexic ass read that as Michael Langdon. I’m gonna leave this up for a laugh at my expense but disregard.

Shame me 4 times? Shame on you for picking on a vulnerable man.

😂

the segment has been shared widely on social media

Not widely enough.

Even if they do eventually air it, it would be enlightening to play “spot the difference” between what they didn’t want to air and what they finally do. My guess would be CBS doing something like sed s/Trump/Biden/g to the script.

I can see that. Kinda like only enjoying the first 1/3 of each season of American Idol.

“Sadly” lol

(I dunno, I’ve never seen it but it just does not sound like compelling television to me)

Sounds about right. I dropped cable in 2010 or thereabouts so probably right around the time that shifted.

Not to be confused with MILF Island which was a fake show on “30 Rock” that was intended to be so over-the-top trashy no could assume it was real.

The worst part is when you do see something that seems like a legit history show, towards the end it’s like “but what if it was aliens??”

Bamboozle me once, shame on you. Bamboozle me four or more times, shame on me.

I don’t remember that one.

Is it this one? If so, that was before my time which might explain it.

Most definitely not lol. It was just the worst semi-recent example I could think of. Is that show even still on?

Yeah. Swamp Loggers was okay (at least interesting and sort-of fit the theme of the channel) but the rest definitely were a jarring shift to lazy reality shows.

Deadliest Catch was pretty fantastic, but I don’t remember exactly when it came into the picture.

Not exactly the same thing, but back when TLC was still known as “The Learning Channel” they used to show surgeries and such and I’d be sitting there completely unfazed eating a big bowl of spaghetti or something.

Saw some posts and comments from a while back about the Trek books

That was probably me. I started reading them over the summer and have talked about them quite a bit. I haven’t read Q-Squared yet, but I also have it in my collection (not for $1.99 though 😠). I took a break after I finished the Cold Equations trilogy but am probably going to start on the Titan series next.

Thanks for the heads up about it being confusing to follow. I tend to do marathon reads rather than short sprints, so hopefully that helps. I don’t think I’ve read any of Peter David’s books yet, but the ones by David Mack are all great and well paced.

and not let it ruin the medium

If you’re not a fan of that one, yes, please don’t let it ruin the rest of them for you. The Destiny trilogy is absolutely amazing as are most of the ones I’ve read (though Destiny is for sure my favorite).

My collection so far:

Mastodon, not my cup of tea (to be fair, neither was Twitter). I just don’t find micro-blogging to be very engaging and my mind categorizes it as “brain rot”.

Sharkey? Haven’t heard of that one until I just googled it, but one look at their mascot and…no. Just… no.

Have been looking at joining Piefed instance, though.

Also the way it links with Lemmy feels weird

And the culture is just different. I’m not sure how to describe it, but I’ll try. It’s like…imagine the threadiverse portion of the fediverse as a library or a meeting room where people are having a quiet discussion. Mastodon accounts feel like they’re barging in all loud and boorish like “HEYYYYY! LOOK AT ME!!! HASHTAG HASHTAG HASHTAG”

Oh, yeah. I totally forgot about serving size chicanery.

• “Up to…” when used to describe things like internet speeds
• “Wholesome” when used to describe food. Not really a lie, per se, but “wholesome” has absolutely no meaning when it comes to nutrition and just sounds good
• “Zero calories” or 0 grams of [blank] in the nutrition information. The regulations let them round down if it’s less than 1 gram standard unit of measurement for that item (edited from grams).
• Any time you see “free” there’s always at least an implied asterisk

Dunno how I missed this, but I referenced this post as a reply to another and am just now seeing it.

The box I ssh into is headless, and AFAIK, use of /media/{user}/{mountpoint} is just a desktop environment convention. When I plug in any kind of removable media to this box, I manually mount it under /mnt. I mount my NAS’s media share to /media mostly for convenience since that’s the main purpose of this box in my workshop.

Basically ssh into the box in my workshop and mplayer my whole music folder on shuffle.

I thought that was the Mid-Atlantic Accent?
