Canadians: Is Our Lady Peace still a thing? I chose their song Starseed as the Throwback Thursday selection. -- nm - Qale May 4, 12:27 6

  - (it was in fact two years ago. And I didn't realize it was a sequel to Spiritual Machines, which is the only one I really like) -- nm - Reagen May 4, 12:39
  - So essentially like approximately 75% of 90s rock bands. Still at it, but definitely playing for their own fans at this point. -- nm - Qale May 4, 12:37
- Sorta? They're still active, I guess. -- nm - Beryllium May 4, 12:30 2

I can't have bifocals. I never knew this was a thing. The good news is, my glasses will stay cheap. - loosilu May 4, 12:14 8
- I tried tri-focals and can't do those at all. So I have a pair for reading and computer work, and then driving glasses. -- nm - Remlik May 4, 12:28 3
  - I have bi for driving. I only need the up close part and was annoyed, taking off my sunglasses to put them on if I needed to read something. So I - Spawn Solo May 4, 12:53 1
    - I also wear them at movies. -- nm - Spawn Solo May 4, 12:53
  - I have tri took a while to get use cause the middle line is smaller but I've figured them out but I do need computer glasses -- nm - eag May 4, 12:42

  - I can no longer watch this movie. -- nm - Jovian May 4, 13:12
  - It definitely feels that way sometimes. -- nm - sycor May 4, 12:36
- but how do they feel about backpacks? -- nm* - decline May 4, 12:16 1

WA state sign law requiring health insurance to cover hearing aids for children up to 5k -- nm - zeitgeist May 4, 12:10 1

    - never seen it, added it -- nm - colin May 4, 12:33
- Breaker Morant -- nm - crash davis 😺 May 4, 12:17

    - Except for, you know, the end. -- nm - Spawn Solo May 4, 12:03 6
      - Which worked perfectly for the movie. I liked that the TV show showed the comic ending quite a bit. -- nm - Remlik May 4, 12:11
      - I have no issues with that. Some things would be silly to adapt. Specifically a giant squid beast destroying NYC. -- nm - Jovian May 4, 12:05 3
        
        This is something I really liked about the miniseries. They leaned into the silliness of that plan. - Beryllium May 4, 12:06 1
        
        the mini series was also spectacular. I still cant believe Josh Hawley played himself in that. :P -- nm - Jovian May 4, 12:12
        
        I thought the HBO show actually handled it not bad, but had zero problem with the movie switch. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 4, 12:06
      - It would have been more fun and less dour to keep the original ending. heh. -- nm - Beryllium May 4, 12:03
    - ah, but you're forgetting about Richie Rich. -- nm - Beryllium May 4, 12:02 4

        It's worth it even just for Rorschach. - Beryllium May 4, 12:05 2
        
        just perfect casting -- nm - Jovian May 4, 12:11 1

- The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension -- nm - Spawn Solo May 4, 11:55

  - Oh, that rules out Dude Where's My Car? -- nm - Roger More May 4, 12:09
  - I'll go with Let It Ride. -- nm - Inigo May 4, 12:01 1
    - Good answer -- nm - Volnelk 🍊 May 4, 13:32

  - hmm, the box office metric throws my suggestion out the window (somehow it earned $49m) -- nm - Beryllium May 4, 11:54 1
    - okay, Hackers it is, then -- nm - Beryllium May 4, 11:55

  - Because students could hide a constitutionally guaranteed right in them. -- nm - loosilu May 4, 11:44 15
    - Ah. So another bandaid for the actual problem. -- nm - sycor May 4, 12:05 1
      - Yes, all solutions just happen to be applied to the victims instead of the perpetrators. -- nm - loosilu May 4, 12:06
    - Soldiers are sneaking into backpacks and quartering themselves? -- nm - Beryllium May 4, 11:47
