@capnthommo me too but I can't remember which theme off the top of my head today.
It went off the air, but may have had reruns return. I never saw the show again.

I've been thinking about this for a day or two now, and I'm pulling my fiction ebooks off of Amazon. Not decided on my nonfic, but leaning towards pulling that too.

I'll leave the paperbacks up there for now, just because I don't have a good alternative, but will def be looking into one.

Bruxelles ha un problema: il 2035 doveva essere l'anno dell'elettrico puro. Zero benzina, zero diesel, solo batterie. Due anni dopo i numeri dicono altro. Le ibride tengono il 43% del mercato, l'elettrico cresce a macchia di leopardo. Germania e Italia spingono per le deroghe. La Cina ride. E l'Europa? Scopre che imporre una rivoluzione dall'alto funziona meglio sulla carta che nelle concessionarie.

I asked the Pentagon about Pete Hegseth's mentor. Then the threats started.

#Python in #OpenBSD 7.8-current has been bumped to #Python313 from 3.12.

If you run any applications via #pipx then you might find they are failing to launch and cannot be upgraded either because of the version bump. You need to reinstall them all:

$ pipx reinstall-all<br>
