One starts to get the impression that they should just have the archeologists dig the tunnel in the first place, and budget the project like one big find.

Actually, no, I really think they shouldn't. In such matters I think it's crucial to stick to just the facts and journalistic integrity (such as it is). Elevating personal opinion to the same level as wartime photography, reporting, data, etc. has dangerous ramifications for all involved. I'm aware that newspapers and other news/media outlets have bias, one way or another, but I think it important to draw a line and minimize that bias to the greatest extent possible; saying no to op-eds on war is such a line.

WRT to opinions and discussion on war, we have other kinds of media and public forums to serve that.

Ah yes, C64 floppy drive "headbanging".

IIRC this is because rather than ship a design with a limit switch or any position sensing at all, the drive software just rapidly slaps the read head home a bunch of times to ensure it's properly aligned with track zero. I have a hard time believing this was to reduce part count, because the drive itself is a whole-ass 6502 computer; the sale price also reflected that. Instead, I think it's a software fix for a "sometimes an issue" hardware problem.

Is that compared to the war itself, or the time before it? I have a doubt. We were all told that we were in a historic era of peace before things kicked off this month, so the bar is set pretty high. Plus, even after the dust settles, the entire Northern hemisphere will likely still be up to its collective asses in fascists with way too much power to turn around and do it again.

I think opinion pieces are great for matters of taste.

War, on the other hand, is about life, death, money, and politics all rolled into one giant horror-show. Publishing op-ed on such a topic, on such a well-known paper, is basically elevating -whatever- to the same level of validity as actual journalism. It's a really bad show on the Post's part.

The buildings are the low density and all the space between. That's the problem.

• sprawling low density detached housing developments on at least 1/4 acre lots, each
• single-story shopping strips/plazas with massive parking lots
• werehouses and other 1 or 2-story commercial and industrial zones
• sprawling office parks with 2-story buildings and big parking lots
• the occasional undeveloped 100 acre lot or remnant of a working farm here and there
• lots of wide roads, median strips, with massive setbacks (stroads) to connect all of the above

What i love about the jump-humping thing is I've heard it involves a third party to move the bed for you, making it just the weirdest threesome.

Since "all dogs go to heaven" isn't mentioned in the bible but is generally accepted christian doctrine, it's actually dogma, which is way funnier.

More like the next five. All this damage is gonna take at least a generation to undo.

I honestly don't know which is more real: The mere existence of an app for an inert hunk of metal, or the fact that it's a miserable user experience?

I would argue that season 1 was so well crafted because it follows in the footsteps of the original feature film. From the start it had a clear destination, with the real story being "how in the world did we get here?" Constraints make good art and all that.

I just wish there was a way for new fans to experience the related ARG and fan-forums in chronological order alongside a watch. A huge part of the experience of this show was all the stuff happening in the fandom, during the week in-between episodes.
