Probably a bleed-over from the embedded side. Spent a lot of years working embedded control systems for NASA and DoD - bare metal systems, often interrupt driven - and it was common to have 50% margin requirements. They know those systems will grow over time, and they often have lifespans measured in decades.

Huh, that's a much longer cancer period than I remember. I have a 2023 sonata, so looked into the issue then because I was concerned, but it's been a couple years now.

That was only true for a few model years. Hasn't been true for a few years now because they add the anti-theft stuff.

Pretty interesting - hadn't heard of that

Huh, okay. I'm assuming there was another law that caused those to get yanked as well?

My wife and I sat down to watch Morbius on Netflix. I thought it was a show/series, but when it seemed to be going on a long time, asked if it was the pilot and how many episodes there were. My wife told me it was a movie. The funny thing is, when I thought it was a show, I thought it was pretty decent. When I found out it was a movie, my opinion plummeted. I might have had a similar shift for a made-for-Netflix movie vs a theatrical release.

Long way of saying, maybe it has more to do with audience expectations. I bet most people expected more from a movie in a major blockbuster series than from Morbius.

Then how did we have toys in cereal boxes and cracker jacks up until much more recently?

Thanks, that makes complete sense.

We all know what kind of "sex test" he means.

Most people I've talked to have said, overall, the Madonna Inn is kind of a letdown. A lot of things seem cheaply done and the walls are thin. Was that your experience?

My biggest problem is included in the "but they also devalue the hard work of the illustrators and artists who contribute original content here" part of the original post, especially since the AIs are trained on copyrighted work.

I've always had to intellectualize significant jealousy or envy. I can understand it in a way, but I just don't feel it. I mean, I get the "must be nice" part, but I've never understood how what someone else has or does reflects on me. I'm not lesser because they have more. It's the same way with the gay rights stuff - how does what another person does impact me if it's not directly impacting me?
