> The price of the median purchased TV in 1997 was ~$4000, in nominal (1997) dollars.

I think you added a zero, where is this figure from?

Because everyone agrees with the sentiment, Apple lovers and haters alike.

> Specifically for acne treatments, seems fine.

Hard disagree. The only acne treatment I know by name has serious side effects that IMO should be discussed with a human at length before being used.

Isotretinoin (formerly sold under the brand name Accutane) is not one of the drugs which can be prescribed by the system. Also, the reason you know its name is precisely because it is abnormally associated with increased risk of suicide.

Part of taking Accutane is regular blood tests so I imagine you still have to get those…

I think it’s a generous compromise personally.

“Cyst O’Donavan has been found guilty. It took a Waymo jury less than three seconds to convict him.”

People can’t know for sure that they saved anything until all statute of limitations have expired without a lawsuit!

I don’t know that that is true but if so it’s probably because they largely didn’t flee to the west.

Haven’t seen it yet but The Emperor's Naked Army Marches On is an ‘87 doc about a Japanese WWII vet tracking down Japanese war criminals, confronting them and then beating the shit out of them. Here’s Bill Hader talking about it:

How would you know?

Article doesn't mention what Pi they are comparing to but it's clearly not a $200 one lmao

> I'm def not paying for the opportunity to yell at my TV.

That’s what all cable news, reality TV, game shows and sports channels are!

In my experience, I'm usually revising TV shows and movies that I enjoy.

Say I want to rewatch the office or snatch. I just don't have the patience for the dongle to wake up and refresh all the banner ads, then the app to load, then get ads.

I should appreciate how far technology has come that a tiny computer is running off 10W to connect to the internet to watch and listen to anything I can imagine. But in that moment, I just want it to work as smoothly as turning on a dvd player.

These days I feel like I get much better value paying for cable with hundreds of channels than I do any streaming service.
