It also allows IT depts to deploy thin clients for a fraction of the cost of a full desktop (along with the crap performance for actual multitasking).

100% agree. Half the reason I love the old Bond movies was because they were so goofy, along with some good action scenes and a fun storyline. The new stuff just strikes me as big budget boxoffice grabs. They aren’t bad, but they aren’t 007. That said, the newer Casino Royale was miles better than the 1967 version. I love Peter Sellers, but that movie tried way too hard and failed miserably.

The Craig films certainly showed the more cold, gritty side of Bond that was portrayed in the books, but that wasn’t really the intent of the earlier films. The earlier films were made more lighthearted and fun on purpose, really only following the books for the basic story. Even Brosnan’s Bond still kept a bit of the whimsical nature to an extent, though they certainly were catering to the 90s action audience. Craig’s Brosnan more crossed into psychological thriller in my opinion, and I wasn’t too big on them.

Better yet, a sweet ass-jet

If it was that hot for that long, there’s a good chance the glue in the cones let loose. It’s probably safe to say they’re toast, hopefully they can be swapped easily.

It’s worth noting that even though a building might have solar, the systems usually disable themselves in the event of a blackout to prevent back feeding into the grid.

Shit I find Tom Cruise to be an abhorrent person, but I do love me some Mission Impossible.

That looks like chocolate cherry, and now I want Cherry Garcia

Meh, these systems are ripe for false positives, all it does is weed out riskier drivers, or provide incentive to encourage reduction in pay and benefits in order to mitigate said “risk.” These systems are cancerous.

Nope, refuse.

Or seek greener non-ai-infested pastures

Dick Butkiss? You hear that coach, he’s cursing!

“Now this is a fucked up situation.”

I really wish we would make it a crime to spin narratives in bad faith.
