It's "200" (200th episode). S10E06. Basically the characters are imagining different TV shows that could be based on their experiences. The puppets are only a short part of that episode.

Switching to something rolling release makes sense. My Arch setup (btw) has always felt much more stable than when I was using Ubuntu, because with Ubuntu I'd inevitatebly run into a bug, find out it was fixed months ago but won't be backported, and then either live with it or try custom-installing the newer version of that thing. Or I'd install something manually that expected dependency X be the latest version, etc.

My friend is an indie game developer and he once told me the typical refund rate, which I think was only a little lower than this. I don't think the game length is playing that large a role here, rather people use that refund policy as a way to try out a game (like a demo). Probably most of the people who refunded wouldn't have bought it in the first place without that refund policy, so he shouldn't really view this as "because of this policy I lost 55K sales".

Which is precisely the problem; there's really no way to opt out of the UK's law. Your only options are to either comply or defy them. They leave no middle ground.

Short answer is yes, it requires hardware that to my knowledge isn't available on normal consumer motherboards.

Blocking the UK isn't enough to get them off your back. They'll claim that if your website is still accessible via VPN to someone in the UK then you're still subject to their laws.

Of course, but a generation of homeowners grew up learning that, barring short disruptions, home prices always go up. Nevermind that this was largely due to interest rates steadily dropping since the 80s, reaching basically 0% during Covid.

Since there isn't really room for interest rates to drop anymore people shouldn't expect home prices to rise faster than incomes rise, but it's going to be hard to undo 30 years of observation.

+1. In my personal life things are much better and improved, but in terms of world stability, health of politics (at least where I live), the observed impacts of climate change, etc. pre-2016 was so much better on average.

Unless it becomes cheaper than having a datacenter on earth per quanity of compute, it won't happen in any meaningful scale even if these issues are solved.

I've been using AntennaPod for years now to listen to podcasts. It works great and feels like a premium app.

Exactly this. If PP were PM I fully expect he'd be pushing some kind of bail-out too.
