Unless these are actual conscientious objectors. They won't take a life, even if they die as a result. It's a moral stand, and one I respect

I enjoyed The Acolyte, although it wasn't as good as Andor. But really, nothing from the Mouse will be that good for a while.

No I don't pay for a D+ membership. Yes I still have 9TB free on my NAS

It would have cost you $0 to not post this

1. I totally agree with you

2. Dude! I bought 16TB HDDs for my NAS for less than $300 each. What the hell!? I was paying just over $16 per terabyte!

I'm an old fart from the 1.44MB disc days. I thought burning DVDs was cool. This is just…

I have hundreds of movies and shows. I could watch 8hrs a day for a year and not rewatch anything in my collection. It's amazing. Rejoice in it

I can put over 100 HD movies on a drive smaller than my thumbnail, but i get what you're saying.

I don't really have a point, I'm just amazed that storage has advanced this far in my lifetime (80's/90's kid)

Dunno about first, but the top of the list is Zero Hour, as part of an Airplane! marathon

What is your interests? Sir Terry was a consummate satirist, able to reach the heart without being too serious. Here's what I'd recommend off the top of my head:

Pure entertainment: Moving Pictures - an alchemist invents Film, and suddenly everyone is moving to Holy Wood. But as Moving Pictures blur the line between fantasy and reality, something Else wants to see reality as well

It Makes You Think: Small Gods - What is faith? What happens when people replace belief in their god with the institution that surrounds the god? What if the god in question is a bastard? What is worse, the god, or the holy wars that will be made by the next "prophet"? Religion and philosophy clash with the sound of lightening hitting a copper roof

You'll think, but with wordplay: The Truth - Dwarves have learned how to turn lead into gold. The hard way. The printing press has come to Anhk Morpork, and with it, the Press. A commentary on truth, journalism, and politics, with a healthy dose of classism and privilege

For the Feels: Feet of Clay - (this one drops you in the middle of the Watch series, but you won't be in the weeds for long. If you don't want mild spoilers from earlier in the series, save this for later) A priest and a baker are murdered, and the Tyrant of the city has been poisoned. It's up to Sam Vimes to find out what's at the bottom of this mystery. And he could probably do so if it weren't for all of the damned clues. And what do the Golems, those silent machines who toil in the worst places, have to do with any of this? When the servant class isn't considered living, who cares what happens to them?

More Feels: Reaper Man - Death has been fired. But he has been given a retirement gift: The Time of his Life. There's not much of it, because when the next Death is chosen the Reaper Man's time will have run out. A reflection on mortality, time, and the obligation of the Reaper to respect the Harvest. And who will care for the harvest, if not for the Reaper Man?

I like Pratchett's zombies. Where the force of will of the soul of the person is so strong that they refuse to dis-inhabit their body. But since the subconscious did so many things on autopilot, they now are forced to do every function of their body deliberately. That's why they move so stiffly and strangely.

You know what? Go read Reaper Man. It's great. And Windle Poons was never so alive until after he died

As one of nature's pedestrians, I'll never trust a creature that looks at me with it's teeth. Even I could tell you those bastards are plotting something all of the time

The Dave Matthews Band agreed to keep a log when its buses empty their septic tanks.

Hehe, logging their logs

I am Japan wrong lol, pretty much everyone else on that map was affected by colonialism. I mean, Japan was affected too, but Japan's response to colonialism was "that's a good idea, we'll do it even harder" so I don't think they count as another arm of Britannia.
