There's also the email that could've been a "man-up and make this inconsequential decision by yourself, Dave"

It's enjoyable if you watch it in the context of it's time. You can't compare it to the Villeneuve version.

Matt Keeslar. He played Feyd in the 2000 miniseries.

When you get this to work, hit me up for some venture capital.

I know how it feels man. Every time I try to sell bootleg DVDs from the trunk of my car, the cops shut me down. Big copyright is just killing the free market, I say.

No, sorry. This was on the east coast. I bet the same story applies to a few different bases though lol.

Worked on a military base that had a small lake. Against policy, a civilian employee went out fishing during his lunch break, somehow capsized his rowboat and had to be rescued by the on-base fire department. Unsurprisingly, he didn't lose his job over it.

A sci-fi drama about a guy who develops a brain tumor. The tumor becomes sentient and can communicate with the man through their shared thoughts. Over time, they develop a kind of friendship. At the end, the man must undergo brain surgery to remove the tumor. Despite being able to prevent the surgery somehow (haven't worked this part out yet), the tumor allows it to happen anyway, knowing that it must die in order for the man to live.

I think I would write this as a short story, but I've never written any fiction before and don't even know how to start.

This documentary was inspired by the murder of Gunnar Gunnarssonsson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-OOpZitfd0

 

A few months ago I saw a funny story about a guy who added generics/templates to JavaScript (or maybe TypeScript?) by using runic characters that look like angle brackets to enclose the template parameter, then using a preprocessor to convert the runes, etc. to actual, legal types before compilation. I can't seem to find it anywhere; hoping someone knows what I'm talking about.
