Oliva Coleman has been in tons of stuff, but relatively recently she played Queen Elizabeth in The Crown. And won an oscar or two. She's...pretty fucking famous.

Ayo Edebiri is in The Bear and has won some Emmys.

So fair. They aren't literally rhe biggest names. But they're doing something. And that's admirable.

I suppose that isn't far off from what you said, though...

I kinda like using Doctorow for this:

  • Similar facial expression
  • Works with the EFF
  • Cool shades

It's wilder when it works in the installer, but not on first boot.

I think a reasonable quorum already said this, but NFS is still good. My only complaint is it isn't quite as user-mountable as some other systems.

So...I know you said no SAMBA, but SAMBA 4 really isn't bad any more. At least, not nearly as shit as it was.

If you want a easily mountable filesystem for users (e.g. network discovery/etc.) it's pretty tolerable.

I'm sure there were more, but I can't remember any others.

I remember having to compensate for the Pentium float bug in the Turbo Pascal programs I was writing back then. I really didn't understand what I was doing at the time, and the 90s version of StackOverflow (A Tripod blog?) wasn't that enlightening...

No. That's just a man who loves his flute...

Okay. I've seen links to this a few times now...

Didn't we buy Alaska from Russia? (Yes we did)

This is either the weirdest case of buyer's remorse, or yet another ginned up controversy.

Wait! Are you telling me The Simpsons is satire?

"Well no one who speaks German could be an evil man..."

"When I stomp on your foot and say 'Hello, Mr. Thompson', you smile and nod."

"BART! YOU WANNA SEE MY NEW CHAINSAW AND HOCKEY MASK?!"

"Terror. Lake. Celebrates. Hannibal. Crossing. The. Alps."

This might be one of the single best half hours of network television ever made.

I remember doing IT in 2002(ish) and the mantra was "hold the power button for 8 Seconds, like that movie with Luke Perry."

It seemed to vary how quickly they would shut down, but I remember (and it's been 20+ years so the memory is vague, and I'm not immediately finding any supporting evidence) this being considered some type of international standard?

This is definitely a long shot, but I figured I'd start somewhere...

I saw today that Look Homeward, Angel entered the public domain. I remembered my dad really liking the book (and I remember bouncing off it myself years ago). In reading the Wikipedia article, I noticed there was a TV Movie made of the play adaptation in 1972. I thought, "Sure would be cool if I could find that movie somewhere. My dad might enjoy seeing it!"

What I'm stuck on: All searching I've done so far has just lead me to streaming services/etc. that have a page for the show (with the exact copy as the IMDb page...) but don't have the actual show to watch.

Does anyone know how to search further? I thought about reaching out to my local library (which I couldn't do today), but beyond that, I'm a bit stumped. Too trained on more recent/less obscure stuff, I guess.

Edit: The Paley Center maybe has something? (Although they said it was aired on CBS) https://www.paleycenter.org/collection/item/?q=cbs&p=31&item=T79:0070
