STIS: what’s the difference between the Nintendo Switch and the Switch Lite? -- nm - kelly Oct 30, 15:20 8
- Switch lite cannot connect to the TV and doesn’t have detachable controllers. -- nm - spamlet Oct 30, 15:20 7

    - I traded in my regular for the OLED. It is outstanding. -- nm - Qale Oct 30, 15:45 2

        I know he did. And I don’t blame you. Though you could transfer it and add that one to the collectibles shrine. -- nm - Qale Oct 30, 16:22
    - So really the lite would be just fine for the kid who doesn’t need anything else to fill up to the tv? -- nm - kelly Oct 30, 15:35 2
      - Probably, yes. -- nm - Dark Callisto Oct 30, 15:47
      - Yes. Though a smidge of concern that the joycon controllers are not detachable. So if they are rough on controllers… - Qale Oct 30, 15:43

Hmm, there might be a rough edit in the what's new in streaming after the peacock segment. (Never mind! Apple's fault.) -- (edited) - Beryllium Oct 30, 13:16 3
- Or else Apple's podcast app has bad UX, it could be that. -- nm* - Beryllium Oct 30, 13:26 2
  - Yep, Apple's fault. What a dumb app. (OK, fixed it. Continuous Playback was enabled by default.) -- nm* - Beryllium Oct 30, 13:27 1

  - Looks like palm trees though...and everything is white. Which means it's one of those places that's really hot, but they pretend isn't hot--Havana? -- nm - Flavorize Oct 30, 10:41 2
    - Then maybe the JPL? That's in CA, right? -- nm - Full Size Candy Baron Oct 30, 10:49 1
      - Great guess!--Goes with the clue that he took the bus there -- nm - Flavorize Oct 30, 10:56
Just seen Last Night in Soho, storywise I found it underwhelming but technically there's a lot to admire. - LMS Oct 30, 10:20 6
- Agreed. -- nm - Spawn Oct 30, 13:38

TIL there is a word in the English language for the day after tomorrow. Overmorrow. - loosilu Oct 30, 08:36 7
- I remember learning the Japanese words for "day after tomorrow" and "day before yesterday" and feeling vaguely envious -- nm* - Full Size Candy Baron Oct 30, 10:52
- And when you're tired of his sleepy-eyed acting, that's the day you're Overrobmorrow. -- nm - Max Oct 30, 09:45
- It’s similar to overnumerous or overmuch—just archaic and a bit redundant. Plus it’s got German origins…so it’s clunky -- (edited) - flavorize Oct 30, 08:49 1
  - and it ruins this joke so Imma ignore it -- (link) - Reagen Oct 30, 09:53 [youtube]

The Lincoln Project was behind the staged white supremacists at the Youngkin rally. Hey Lincoln Project, you're not helping. -- (link) - pmb Oct 30, 07:50 19
- I’m not sure I understand what the problem is. -- nm - znufrii Oct 30, 09:33
- so dumb -- nm - Remlik Oct 30, 08:44
- You’d have to be former(?) Republicans to come up with something so insipid. -- nm - Qale Oct 30, 08:13
- I'd take issue with the articles claim that the Lincoln Project members are Republicans. Former, maybe. -- nm - Ender Oct 30, 07:56 15
  - They are conservative Republicans. They just happen to put country, principles, ethics, integrity, and other good things first. - ReluctantClown Oct 30, 12:49 8
    - Bullshit. The Lincoln Project specifically is in bed with the Dems and cares only about hurting the Republican party. -- nm - Ender Oct 30, 14:02 7
      - Lol, no. The only thing I think they care about re: democrats is raising money from them by confounding Trumpists. -- (edited) - znufrii Oct 30, 14:50 3
        
        What part of what you said contradicts what I said? -- nm - Ender Oct 30, 15:14 2
        
        “In bed with the Dems”? No. -- nm - znufrii Oct 30, 15:15 1
        
        They're raising money off them, they're coordinating with them, they're using their operatives in this scam. They're in bed with them. -- nm - Ender Oct 30, 17:44
      - I know a good many conservative Republicans who put country, principles, ethics, integrity, and other good things first. I am one. TLP are not. -- nm - Ender Oct 30, 14:12 2
        
        Not if you’re still voting for Trump’s party. -- nm - mafic Oct 30, 15:38 1
        
        Fuck off. -- nm - Ender Oct 30, 17:45
  - I think they're still republicans. They just want their party back, not what it has become. So they'll support democrats until they can kill this - pmb Oct 30, 08:01 5
    - Steve Schmidt announced he was registering as a Democrat. There's a difference between a nevertrump Republican and the Lincoln Project. -- nm - Ender Oct 30, 08:06 4
      - Schmidt's not the only guy and in any event, I don't think their policy preferences really align with democrats. They just feel that the republican - pmb Oct 30, 08:10 3
        
        That doesn't make them Republicans. They oppose every republican, not just the insane ones. They're no longer part of the party. -- nm - Ender Oct 30, 08:12 2
        
        What makes a Republican? -- nm - TWuG Oct 30, 09:07
        
        I don't follow them that closely because I don't really trust them (see above stupid stunt), but do they oppose all republicans? I've really only - pmb Oct 30, 08:19

On campus visit and they apparently still teach FORTRAN -- nm - spamlet Oct 30, 06:53 6
- Oregon State is still using a lot of the FORTRAN legacy code we developed back in the mid-1990s for high-intensity evolutionary genetics applications. - ReluctantClown Oct 30, 12:51
- Not sure what college you’re at, but here in Colorado, I wouldn’t be surprised if IBM paid to have those classes taught - flavorize Oct 30, 07:00 1
