re: Is true digital creativity dying?

Well, nearly nothing was real to begin with. #WyomingSkiTrip #6FiguresInCreditCardDebt #LivingOurBestLife .
What irritates me more is that some dumb "content creator" can fake video that's better than CGI in movies or shows with 7 figure budgets. I'm looking at you, Star City (Apple) and the ridiculous bear in a recent episode.

We have been staying at multiple cities and hotels, moving around a bunch, full itineraries, scheduling things around meals. etc
This is probably it; all of that is straight friction.
The easiest example for me is Paris. There's a ton of stuff to do, but you haven't been to Paris if you haven't "wasted" an afternoon sitting in front of a cafe, munching on some cheese, watching people, and doing... nothing. Everything that is in the Louvre can be seen online in ultra high def, so why do people stomach the awful crowds, just to say they did it?
The unexpected and unplanned can deliver a lot of joy. My first trip to Ireland (alone) I was there for a week and picked 5-6 must dos scattered around. The meal I remember? Eating Tesco peanut butter sandwiches out of the back of my Nissan Micra in the parking lot of an absolutely beautiful golf course I stumbled upon. I also got rained out of something, and spent the entire day in a pub talking to an Irish lady who just peppered me with questions about the Constitution, American life, etc.

Sikhs are not muslim. Muslims have already taken over the country, so it's a moot point.

The term "Sikh warrior" often refers to members of the Khalsa, a collective of initiated Sikhs who are expected to uphold the values of bravery and righteousness. Historically, many Sikhs, particularly those from the Kshatriya background, have taken on warrior roles,
I think what you're referring to is probably sourced out of the desire of many Sikhs for a separate state, kind of like the Kurds. There's a bit of terrorism (in India) associated with it, but they don't look at all of us as infidels.
I'd chalk it up more to UK youth crime culture; the family trying to cover for the murderer is very Indian, though.

Bon Carré Technology Park in Baton Rouge is a case study of two forces reshaping commercial real estate: the long decline of shopping malls and the rapid rise of data centers.
The 712,000-sq.-ft. site on Florida Boulevard in Louisiana’s capital city has changed hands several times since the Bon Marché Mall closed in 1990. In recent years, under tech-focused real estate firm EdgePWR’s ownership, the site has undergone a major transformation. Its new identity centers on data centers, offices and technology-focused tenants.

Your childhood in LA was amazing because you weren't reading the papers and watching the news about companies moving to Texas over punitive taxation put in place by the Louisiana legislature back then.
Louisiana's trajectory has been downward since at least the days of Huey Long, and that's due to the voters. Their concern isn't their careers, it's making sure they can go see their cousin in Opelousas every other weekend, and have a boat that is worth more than their doublewide to go fishing every weekend, etc. They will turn a blind eye to political corruption, put up with public schools that are utter trash, and make excuses for anything and everything. But culture! :yack:

How do you do this and what would a good run time be?
I'm only a layman, but the actual smart thermostats I've owned over the last 15 years (Nest, Lyric, Ecobee, etc.) figure this out on their own. You set it at 71, they'll cool it to 69 in the early afternoon to avoid having to kick on every 20 minutes, it'll be every 35 or 40.

Best of luck. It is a very painless procedure
A lot of people don't realize it, but the overly risk averse discharge procedures discourage single and divorced men from getting any of this testing done. You can't drive home, OK, can you take an Uber? No. So plenty of us spend six months scheduling around a favor from another dude that has kids and a wife to waste hours to pick you up, to drop you off at home.
If you're at risk (senior, dementia, history of falling) great. But most men in their 40s and 50s are not that.

Agreed. I covered 5300' with one router and an AP. That's an insane DB loss unless there are architectural issues like plaster and lathe.

Never knew this. I took the Eurostar from London to Paris definitely a nice system they have.
Rome2Rio is a good system to figure out train routes between countries. It lays bare the difference between the express trains that take 3 hours, and the local connecting trains that take 11 hours between the same cities without reserved seats.

projecting well tanks excitement for it
External vs. internal motivation. Not my problem, although I acknowledge it exists. There's just nothing I can do about ad budgets, dumb UAV stunts, shitty casting, critic reviews (which poor reviews from critics are a pretty good indicator of if I'll like a movie on RT.)
You want to see it, or not. The breaking point of is if most normies that see movies on weekends want to put up with the hassle, or not, for the movie.

I’m honestly surprised by the lack of interest in He-Man. I think it looks like loads of fun
I didn't watch TV for SIX MONTHS in the 80s, so I could get a $35 He Man toy shopping spree at Toys R Us as a reward. If this were five years ago, I'd watch a matinee of it on Friday. But, the phones and other disruptions in the theater make me not bother. Alamo used to be good at being militant about restricting phone use, but now that they've mostly rebranded, they have QR codes for menus and ordering. Encouraging phone use :wtf:
