  • Starts out great but quickly goes through the SyFy cost cutting machine that turns it into trash. If you have the willpower, just watch the first season. But no one does and you’ll watch a great concept fall apart. The best part is the ideas for a better story that it’ll spark in your own head.




  • My brother was murdered for stealing cash and drugs from a drug dealer. It was in the 2010’s and totaled about $1000. So maybe a little more than this even factoring for inflation. The killer got off due to some complications with the PA and two very partial juror. 11/12 guilty votes in 2 trials, and both times one guy who refused to vote guilty based on the race of the killer and the race of my brother.

    I put this out there because this case hits very close to home. No one in my family ever even hoped for the death penalty. There is no reason to eye-for-an-eye here. Even if cruelty is the point, it’s crueler to make them miss the rest of their potential life. For me, there is always the possibility it’s the wrong guy, and if so, they should have no limit on how long they spend trying to prove their innocence.

    There is no place for the death penalty in today’s world.






  • They can, but the point of OTA setups is that you don’t have to anymore, and you save a lot that way because satiate testing is very very expensive. Old PC platforms had a standard of compatibility in how all the hardware worked. So you could test a few variations, and be reasonably assured, or you had a specific version for a particular price of hardware, like c&c machines.

    So the new paradigm is about testing your most common setup, then slow rolling out and waiting for complaints. If you broke something, you get the details, fix it, and ship again. The problem here is their release cycle takes too long. This is only viable if you can patch things in a day, if it takes you a month to fix a patch that is turning cars into driveway statues, it more than a handful of cars are affected, you need a new strategy.
