Probably technically, but I can almost guarantee you they quite literally couldn’t care less about two brothers sharing an account. They’re more worried about large groups sharing an account.

Ones here in the states vary a lot from place to place. Some places have absolutely everything, books, movies, games, tools, makerspaces (or at least 3d printers), computers etc.

But most city libraries outside if your big big ones are still relatively small. My local one is about the size of a small grocery store, real modest. Damn do the workers there pour their hearts and souls into it though, they’re always hosting events and stuff. Really appreciate our library workers. Main benefit is getting access to their network, which generally gets you a whole host of other stuff. Ebook rentals, audio book rentals, book transfers, etc.

It’s a shame what the GoP is trying to do to the American library system.

They’re solid generic blockbuster action-ish movies. They’re not amazing, but they’re fun enough that I think they’re worth a watch if you can’t decide what to watch one night.

Everyone in general

Emulation when I was younger (and to a lesser extent now. I own the vast majority of old consoles/games I have any interest in playing these days). These days it’s near exclusively TV/Movies and pretty much entirely because of convenience. Between myself and the others in my household, we have near every streaming service, I just can’t be fucked to figure out which one what I want to watch is on.

I really need to get around to turning my old pc into a media server.

I think survivorship bias plays into it as well. Yeah, most the stuff on the radio today is kinda meh. Most the stuff on the radio in those days was kinda meh too. All the meh songs got forgotten, and you only remember the bangers. You’ve already seen it happen to 00s music and we’re watching it happen with the 10s.

But yeah, it’s wild how many people look at how accessible different types of music are now and just… don’t go looking.

In a pretty short span of time no less.

I’ve definitely had 16 drinks in a day before, just spread out over, yknow, most that day.

Ah yep, you’re right that’s the one I was thinking of. Both are pretty interesting, forget how young this country is sometimes.

So I went to double check, and I got a fair bit of it wrong.

Irene Triplett
She was actually the daughter of the woman I thought I was talking about. Her mother married her father at ages 29 and 78 respectively, and she was born one of five children in 1930, living until the age of 90 before passing in 2020.

Not at all an answer to your question, but a very semi-related tangent.

The last receipt of a US Civil War pension passed away relatively recently. She was a young woman who would regularly help out a local older man, a civil war vet with no kids or family otherwise. Towards the end of his days, he married her so she’d get the benefits of his pension, as things were really really tough.

Some of the detail might be off, going off of memory, but that’s the general gist.

EDIT:

It’s a feedback loop. A fairly small jump can get you trending, which makes people watch it, which makes it even more visible, rinse and repeat.

I have no clue if this is a hot take or not, but the Hawks won’t win a cup with Bedard. For the same reasons the Oilers won’t with McDavid and the Leafs won’t with Matthews. Assuming he develops as everyone expects, by the time they’re competitive, Bedard’s AAV is gonna be 12-15M (or whatever the equivalent cap % is when he signs his contract). You just can’t have a full, well rounded team when paying a single player that much. The closest we’ve had to a generational talent winning the cup in the last 14 years was MacKinnon with the Avs, but he was making a solid 8M less than hhe was worth.

If we had the same size, I could be wearing my grandfather’s steeltoes that are probably a solid 40 years old. People really underestimate how long good footwear lasts when you take care of it.

This is the most fed post I’ve ever seen

Right? I remember being absolutely mind blown away by a 2gb SD card. Nowadays I pickup a 32gb microSD for $3 every time I got to Micro Center

That smile ad is still one the weirdest campaign ads I’ve ever seen

Is Planet Earth cheating? Is David Attenborough in general cheating?

I don’t care how many times I watch it, it’s one of my comfort shows (miniseries?).

Gestures vaguely

No shit we are lol

Funnily enough, taking my glasses off in a dream and still being able to see is how I’ve realized I was I a dream a couple times. Unfortunately I immediately get way too excited at the prospect and immediately wake up every time haha

I make use of that trick a lot, unfortunately it wasn’t a ton of help this time.
