- This is crazy. The CEO produced a massive turnaround for the company. Suddenly, out of nowhere, he’s out. And it was a consensual relationship. -- nm - Mop Nov 4, 10:26 3
  - Prevailing opinion seems to be that there is no valid form of consent with that power dynamic. -- nm - Bery Delecto Nov 4, 10:29 2
    - This. Sorta. The relationship may genuinely be consensual, but it cannot be allowed in an environment where the power dynamic makes identifying - TWuG Nov 4, 11:01 1
      - Yep, and it's especially bad given that Birdie isn't even the same species as the CEO. -- nm - Bery Delecto Nov 4, 11:34

    - the woman from Fredericton recently elected seems too new but I could see David Coon (NB Provincial leader) taking a crack at the big seat -- nm* - Beaker Nov 4, 10:26 2
      - If I was a Green, I would have a difficult time not wiping out every candidate with a Y chromosome from my consideration pile. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 4, 10:33 1
        
        CBC had an article on the Quebec Green leader taking a shot should May resign -- (link*) - Beaker Nov 4, 10:36
  - The fragmenting of the left in Canada is disappointing. The NDP and Greens need to resolve their differences. - Mop Nov 4, 10:22
jebus, these fucking nazis -- (link) - mud Nov 4, 09:50 1
- This is fine. -- nm - Congressional GOP Nov 4, 10:03
Funny. FedEx package is out for delivery to my house, from the distribution center just around the corner from my office. -- (edited) - znufrii, human scum Nov 4, 09:48
It’s popular to hate on Emmerich and WWII movies but Midway is solid. I enthusiastically recommend it -- nm - JackDawson Nov 4, 09:46 26

  - The same thing got me - JackDawson Nov 4, 10:09 1
    - Sweet. -- nm - Spawn Nov 4, 10:12
- right on. I was wondering. -- nm - Remlik Nov 4, 09:57
- interesting. as mentioned the trailers make it look like Pearl Harbour 2 / parody of Pearl Harbour -- nm* - Beaker Nov 4, 09:47 15
  - At times you’re like omg it’s about to go PH on us but it avoids that by avoiding the ridiculous love triangle they had - JackDawson Nov 4, 10:06 1
    - I remember reading about this...like 40 years ago and always liked the original Midway movie, figured I'd avoid this like the plague but will give it - Beaker Nov 4, 10:07
  - I said "it looked like a parody of" -- nm - mud Nov 4, 09:55 3
    - same diff :) -- nm - Beaker Nov 4, 09:57 2
      - .. [blink] .. uh, no -- nm - mud Nov 4, 09:59 1
        
        there fixed :) -- nm - Beaker Nov 4, 10:01
  - do you know if they stay fairly close to the actual history or do they veer off into blockbuster movie territory? -- nm - Beaker Nov 4, 09:48 8
    - The original Midway movie is one of my favorites of all time -- nm - eag Nov 4, 10:11 5
      - Same here -- nm - JD Nov 4, 10:33
      - It’s just an epic story. Wave after wave of ineffective suicide runs. And then the torpedo bombers showed up. -- nm - Mop Nov 4, 10:20 2
        
        Well if you saw the original movie you know who's fault it was - eag Nov 4, 10:43

Repost: need some tech help from the ST smart people. Having an external hard drive issue - Holden Ford Nov 4, 09:45 14
- Don't try writing anything to the drive. I don't know if it's recoverable at home, but if the bytes are salvageable ... - Bery Delecto Nov 4, 09:50 13
  - Did this just started to become inaccessible? Like you were able to save all the pics to it but then on reboot it cannot be accessed? -- nm - SyrDragon Nov 4, 10:23 1
    - Pretty much, yeah. No idea what the hell happened. -- nm - Holden Ford Nov 4, 10:33
  - Thanks...I just reached out to a recovery specialist place with good reviews. - Holden Ford Nov 4, 10:12 6
    - Ok, so looking at a minimum of prolly $400 to get this recovered. There are SO many programs out there advertising... - Holden Ford Nov 4, 10:23 4
      - We used one at work. It was easily 3x more than that and I would never try using the recovery programs if the data was really that important. -- nm - kilboooooo Nov 4, 10:45
      - These sound like they are a tad important. Is $300 really worth the risk? -- nm - spamlet Nov 4, 10:36 2
        
        My thought is that I trust y'all around here and if anyone had a recommendation, I'd take it. nm - Holden Ford Nov 4, 10:44 1
        
        The only thing I would suggest as an option would be to take the actual hard drive in the external enclosure out of the enclosure and put it into - kilboooooo Nov 4, 10:46
    - good luck, we almost lost ours after we did the same thing (thankfully my BIL was able to recover them for us) -- nm - Beaker Nov 4, 10:17
  - if the drive's properties are fine, wouldnt the next step be trying another computer and see if it's "accessible" there? -- nm - mud Nov 4, 09:53 3
    - I've tried 4 - 2 laptops, 2 desktops. It's definitely the drive. -- nm - Holden Ford Nov 4, 09:56 2
      - but ..but .. but ..: - mud Nov 4, 09:59 1
        
        I know, right? -- nm - Holden Ford Nov 4, 10:00
ST Poll: Will you be signing up for Disney+? -- nm - Beaker Nov 4, 09:45 26
- No need to pay for another streaming service I'll hardly ever use. - Cuzzin Todd Nov 4, 10:45
- Did it for the 3 year deal they had with D23 or whatever that was. Just waiting for my new AppleTV 4K to arrive -- nm - kilboooooo Nov 4, 10:37

  - What are the candidates? -- nm - Shaun Nov 4, 10:36 6
    - For new television? I literally have no idea what exactly I'm looking for except for "Can it Stream Disney+" and "Is it smaller than 60'". -- (edited) - Name Withheld By Request Nov 4, 10:40 5
      - TCL Roku TV would be my suggestion -- nm - kilboooooo Nov 4, 11:10
      - whichever way you go wait till Black Friday :) -- nm - Beaker Nov 4, 11:07 1
        
        Definitely. -- nm - Shaun Nov 4, 11:15

  - I already have ESPN+ so I need to see how that blends together. -- nm - Volnelk Nov 4, 09:58
- Probably, eventually. -- nm - znufrii, human scum Nov 4, 09:46
- you bet your ass (assuming my Blu-ray players updates so I can view it up here -- nm - Beaker Nov 4, 09:46 1
  - I wonder if my 2016 model Samsung TV will get a native app? If not, Chromecast it is. -- nm - Shaun Nov 4, 10:03
- prolly not. -- nm - Holden Ford Nov 4, 09:45
