His podcast is filled with good faith discussion where he asks genuine questions, gets corrected, and is happy to be wrong and learn. Just like when he’d have high profile guests on TDS. 90% of the time he preempts statements with “I’m an idiot and have no idea what I’m talking about”. So, I definitely don’t get or agree with that assessment either. The times when he’s “smug” tends to be when he’s calling out senators on things like the PACT act.

Strong disagree on the Stewart Maher comparisons. I cannot begin to fathom where that comparison is coming from outside of hyperbole from when Stewart suggested that maybe a coronavirus was mishandled at a coronavirus research lab in the province COVID-19 came from. I watch his new show and listen to his podcast; Stewart is still very much Stewart. He welcomes discussion and gets corrected by his guests and accepts it; Maher can’t handle being wrong, Maher thinks “the woke left” is as big of a threat as the extreme-right, and thinks COVID can be beaten by eating more vegetables. Stewart also calls “bullshit” when a guest says absolute nonsense, whereas Maher doesn’t engage or agrees half the time when he has these chodes on his show (Stewart basically told Andrew Sullivan to stfu on The Problem’s racism episode, and continuously called him out). In regards to Noah: his TDS, which I watched almost every episode of, was just mostly mediocre, IMO. I think Ronnie Chang is his best correspondent, by a lot… outside of Klepper when he goes to Trump rallies - Roy Wood and the rest tend to be one-note jokes, and I truly hope CC doesn’t feel obligated to use one of them as the new host. Trevor has his moments but, ultimately, the show just never even reached the lows of Stewart’s TDS, let alone the highs, IMO. Outside of Oliver, Seth Meyer’s show has by and far been the closest “replacement” for Jon’s TDS. I enjoyed Sam Bee’s show but it was much too infrequent and didn’t have the “focus and energy” that Oliver does on his once/week show (nor the amount of yearly episodes). I’d argue that CC’s best options, if they’re planning on continuing the TDS, is to find someone completely new, ask Sam Bee again (she was their first pick to replace Jon, but she said “hell no”, likely because she knew that it was a lose-lose to try and replace Stewart), or try Klepper as a host again (I think he prefers his on-site documentary style things, though; he said as much when he discontinued his own show).

NO ONE DO THIS MAKE HIM WATCH THE ENTIRE VIDEO

Looks fun, though

This makes me wish they did Stoors instead of Harfoots. They were the least hobbit-like of the hobbit ancestors and even wore fancy boots (the fancier the boot, the higher the social status) and were kinda dwarf-like. The nerd-rage of people who only watched the movies would have been amazing.

This movie is f’n amazing

FWIW, the WWII weapons some of these soldiers are being given aren’t AK-47s, as that was invented after WWII. If they’re legit being given WWII weapons like some have been saying, it’s probably SVT-40s and PPSh-41s… which is waaaaaay sadder than a rusted AK-47

Oh, a youtube channel I watch was saying there's only two more, but I just looked and you're right, there should be 8 total.

Only two episodes left

Next hearing is tomorrow at 1pm ET

Yea, since you game at 4k like I do, I’d hold off until there’s some PCIE 5.0 stuff available and/or DDR5 prices drop/normalize some more. There’s not much reason to upgrade for gaming unless you’re trying for 360fps at 1080p because you’re a weirdo.

Lowest price I’ve seen was only $10 less than this, but that was with a labor day sale coupon.

Gaming is basically the only reason I upgrade my PC, and I game at 4k. PCIE 5 will, eventually, be a reason to upgrade, whether for GPU bandwidth or NVME speeds, but as of right now, with a 5900x, I just don’t see a reason to pull the trigger. I’d argue anyone on a 5600x or better that primarily upgrades for gaming may be better off waiting a bit.

The biggest success of the GOP has been convincing the younger crowd that they’re vote doesn’t matter and “it’s all rigged anyway”

So, a single one off joke makes the entire episode reminiscent of Family Guy…?

Where are we putting general Trump things now?

Saying 2-4x for any of the cards is ridiculous since the 4090 is nowhere near 2x without DLSS. The 4080 12gb is likely on par with a 3090 non-TI. Based on that chart, without DLSS, I would argue that none of these are an actual generational leap and closer to the normal leaps we’ve been seeing since the 1000 series, though, I think we’ll have to wait for actual benchmarks and not bull charts.

If you’re interested… I may… know a way to watch DBS:SH now…

HDR on projectors is kinda weak sauce compared to TVs, though, right? Or has that changed? Mini LED 8k is kinda reasonably priced, like $5k for 85”. I haven’t kept up on how they compare to OLED, though

https://a.co/5to5YuH Here ya go, just a mere $15.5k

Ew, only 65”?

Also, the Jujutsu Kaisen movie finally comes out this week outside of theaters. (Seriously, F Japanese studios and this outdated 1+ year after theaters to bluray/streaming BS)
