A frequent detractor lurks but post anyway.

It is sad though grown people have to second guess themselves because of other grown people.

Online bullying marauds in many forms. Especially beware experts and elites.

PS: If you come back with "more self-confidence", you're missing the point. An online bully is different in that they do not care about others confidence.

Mrs. Davis on #peacocktv is interesting. Vibes of Preacher, Da Vinci Code, Lodge 49, Person of Interest, etc. w enough blasphemy, faith, seriousness, silliness, promise, paranoia to appeal to many.

Season 1 starts w intrigue and slips to more funny stuff. Funny soon becomes silly (but appropriate), then corny (somewhat a turnoff), and then faith dominates. Paranoia added throughout.

The tech reveal at the end is apt for present day and I appreciate that.

I give it 3 stars.

I recently found out I have access to Peacock (Premium?) for the next few months. I wonder what's worth watching on it.

Recommendations welcome in these genres: thriller, suspense, mystery, sci-fi, comedy, historical, drama.

Movies preferred, but shows are OK too.

Absolutely no horror or superhero stuff.

Here's a log of what caught my interest on there in 2023. 👇

Portable monitors the kind you attach to laptop, phone (mostly Samsung Galaxy, which I have). I wonder what ppl's experience/opinions are.

Amazon is littered w such monitors for $100-$300, depending on day, features. Eg https://a.co/d/eysO0gy

I've been thinking of buying one for travel and for my wife's use at home, but I'm not sure how well they work: Which usage modes does it (not) work well? What to watch for if buying?

New York man wins $10mm each in two different scratch-off lottery games, 16 months apart.

The odds of winning each of those games separately is apparently 1 in 3.5 million. I wonder what the odds of the same person winning both those games are, especially in consecutive calendar years.

@joelanman even baby carrots? 🤔

If American units of measurement are not confusing enough for you, how about we use solid units for a liquid and liquid units for a ~solid. 😎

BRB busy trademarking this.

@ryanc I'm voting Yes because I just installed an outlet with USB-A ports: 2x ports with 2.1A each.

Mind you I bought the thing like three years ago. I'm not going to let your poll ruin my achievement. 🥇

@fu you can count on me. I just tend not to post too much about Cricket because practically none of my followers seem interested (and that's fine).

@fu I don't know man, I just want to be entertained.

Besides, it's not like ECB, and then ECB and CA together, didn't exploit and run roughshod over everyone else in the past. And then the two invited BCCI into the tent because guess why.

So, I just focus on the sport. 😐

The rules in my household during ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 are simple:

* Always root for India
* Root for Pakistan if match is not against India or the outcome is crucial for India
* Root against Australia except if the outcome is crucial for India
* Maintain disdain for England, but prefer them over Australia
* Have goodwill for New Zealand
* Feel for other teams but maintain vigil just in case
* Hope ESPN+ has respect for paying customers

🏏

@fu The new link does work and goes to the expected page.

In case you don't see it for some reason, the link in the OP is this (I've removed https so it does not actually embed a link)

@fu
The link seems to go back to the post. Is that true? If yes, on purpose?

Except for the Mastodon PWA. Or I don't know how. 🥺

@inthehands Imaginary, but highly likely thing Trump said to the bondsman:

"Imagine how much business you'll make being the bondsman for the 45th President. In fact, you should be paying me 10% of future business."

And oh, don't be surprised if he entertained offers from multiple bondsmen.
