It seems like Israel don't just take their military equipment from the U.S. but also their treatment of non-combatants. Abu Ghraib, anyone?

I agree and I think all the issues I personally had with the film were related to the editing and the pacing, even though I did enjoy it overall.

It's funny you should mention LotR, because I personally feel that a 3.5 hour extended version would fix a lot of the problems with pivotal scenes not being given enough explanation and other key scenes being cut. Even though they did well to squeeze a lot of stuff into 2hr45, it did often feel too rushed.

Sadly, Denis has said or more than one occasion that he doesn't do alternative cuts of his films, so we'll just have to make do with what we've got.

Brave move from Glazer, definitely. You could see his hands shake as he read his speech.

You could perhaps point to research that supports your claim? Would be better than simply talking down to people who disagree with you.

For instance:

Obesity is mainly caused by imbalanced energy intake and expenditure due to a sedentary lifestyle coupled with overnutrition. - Source

The obesity epidemic has been fueled in large part by increased energy from greater availability of highly rewarding and energy-dense food. Diet and various social, economic, and environmental factors related to food supply have a significant effect on patient’s ability to achieve the balance. - Source

Most researchers also agree that obesity is an “acquired” disease that, heavily depends on lifestyle factors (i.e., personal choices), such as low rates of physical activity and chronic overeating, despite its genetic and epigenetic influences. - Source

Yeah, when I say "director's cut" what I really mean is a LoTR-style extended version which includes all the additional scenes that had to be cut to fit within the confines of a theatrical release.

In the case of Dune Two, I'd argue this would actually resolve a lot of pacing issues instead of introducing them. Many parts of this movie felt overly rushed.

Good for them.

Right, but if you ask "to which religion does the average Zionist in the US belong?", most people are going to say Judaism instead of Christianity.

I'd say many people don't even know that Christian Zionists are even a thing.

Agreed, and additional thanks to you, @sunaurus, for all your ongoing contributions to the project and for being such a good instance admin as well.

This. It feels like what the new gnome-console ought to have been.

Sure, I agree but eating habits have little to do with weight.

I'm sorry, but there is a very great disparity between this statement and reality.

What's the benefit in replacing one extension with another in order to achieve the same thing? Real progress would be an option in the default Gnome shell to show the background apps directly in the top bar without any additional clicks.

LDAC suffers from high latency and very steep degradation once the strength of the Bluetooth connection drops even slightly. In some case it can drop to around 330kbps, which makes it no better than SBC unless you can guarantee a rock solid connection at all times.
