The fact that people care about whether their messages are blue or green is so absolutely ridiculous.
I've known people who literally refuse to message anyone who doesn't use iMessage (and by extension has an iPhone).
Every one of them turned out to be a twat in every other facet of their personality as well.
Not necessarily. But as someone already said, The Americans was really really good.
And Amazon Prime originals are kind of noteworthy for being "just like (insert title here), but cheaper looking."
Lord of the rings and wheel of time, just like Game of Thrones, but cheaper looking.
Electric Dreams, just like Black Mirror, but cheaper looking.
It should be noted though, that that's a fairly recent development and it's certainly not limited to Amazon. Old Prime, when every streaming service was pouring unlimited money into their originals, we got The Man in the High Castle, which was brilliant.
But the well has largely dried up financially for streaming originals. we'll never get back to the old days. The Americans benefitted from being in a world that wasn't putting out as much content as humanly possible to compete against other services.
That's all I'm saying. It might be perfectly fine, but I'm almost positive it'll be "Like The Americans, but cheaper looking".
Soooo....The Americans....but likely worse.
I have a midday alarm clock on my android tablet. I had set it when I was unemployed and needed a reminder every 1:30PM to take my medication.
Since getting a job, I haven't been home at 1:30, and when I get home, the tablet is silent and says "missed alarm" on it.
So in short, yes...eventually. But I don't know how long it blares for.

It's not a terrible game. I still inexplicably have hundreds of hours put into it. (according to Xbox achievements I'm one of only 6% to bother reaching level 50)
Their comment about being a different experience each time is disingenuous, though. The only major questline that "feels" any different is The crimson Fleet storyline, which I loved and legitimately had a tough decision about which way to go.
But Vanguard, Rangers, etc... are all variations on the same missions with a different faction slapped on them. It's all pretty generic stuff with the occasional cool mission tossed in. (Ryujin, for example was far to easy and uncreative until the very last mission, which was legitimately fun)
Settlements and outposts are entirely pointless. You can ignore them completely. And you never have to visit a random mining/civilian/science outpost if you don't want to. Which to me seems like a negative. If a major feature of your game can safely be ignored, you haven't integrated it properly into the larger narrative.
But yet somehow I still have just about 250 hours into it. I don't know why. Probably the ship building, which is fun as hell.
I've always felt like the magic systems and cultures of the Patryns and Sartans were deserving of their own expanded universe. I was desperate to learn more about them and was sad that they were only ever in that one series.
I remember the versions I read had a sort of encyclopedia at the back of every book in the series dealing with some aspect of another of the world and I devoured those obsessively
Currently rereading the Belgariad and will likely go straight into the Mallorean. Probably my favourite "traditional" fantasy series.
But my all time favourite fantasy series is The Death Gate Cycle by Weiss and Hickman. But is very much not your traditional fantasy setup. It's got wizards, dragons, elves, etc... but in very very non-traditional worlds. Can't recommend it enough.
it's funny that I would have expected Colbert to have the best insights/humour in their Trump bits.
But instead it's Seth Meyers, who i never liked on SNL but who absolutely shines with his political stuff, and Kimmel, who are leading the way.
Of course that's not including Oliver, because no one is on Oliver's level.
Fallon is a joke in comparison.
I think if Trump had direct dirt on them, he's too stupid to not blab it out at some point during all the infantile name-calling he calls "campaigning".
More likely is that Putin has kompromat on most of the GOP, and the threat of ol' Putin-on-the-Blitz giving that information to Trump is what allows him to hold on to their short and curlies.
Defeating Hamas?
A war against Hamas that targets civilians is just going to create more Hamas.
You kill 100 civilians for every 4 Hamas fighters, all you end up with is 10 new Hamas fighters from the relatives of the civilian dead.
He's delusional.
It's cheaper for me to just bump up my Adguard DNS subscription on my home router. Though I've only done limited testing to see how efficient it handles YT ads. (so far seems to work).
Honestly, the $3 CAD I spend on Adguard DNS through my router has been incredible. I'm flabbergasted when I connect to someone else's Wi-Fi and see what the Internet looks like outside my door walls.
