Delay on adding the fifth stack. Today’s build disengaged the system keyboard, which was interfering with the fillable reports. Created internal keyboard, locked the boot sequence down and stabilized the interface instead. A lot of debugging but the current build is rock solid.
Mask off moment, for Matt. Total revelation. Uncultured. Brutish. Deeply unserious. Bereft of high culture.
Champ really told on himself.
Déclassé, uncultured he-bitch.
They fail at being epic operas even more than they fail at realism. The writing and acting is mostly flat and boring. Same goes for the cinematography. There’s nothing operatic about it. Epic perhaps in theory but certainly not in execution. You guys have created a version of the Star Wars prequels in your heads (a version that sounds pretty interesting, if only it existed) and have grafted it onto the actual films which in reality fail at whatever they were trying to do, unless they were trying to be verbose, clumsy, wooden, and bland.
It’s very clear to the rest of us that the people trying to rehab the Star Wars prequels are just nostalgic for something that they enjoyed as kids. That’s fine. I have a nostalgic attachment to some crappy 90s movies like Independence Day for example. It came out when I was 10 and at the time it seemed to me like the greatest cinematic achievement in history. But then I grew up and I can now see that Will Smith punching an alien and saying “welcome to earf” is not a high point of western art. And that’s fine. It’s stupid but I still remember it fondly. You don’t have to try so hard to intellectualize some dumb bullshit you liked when you were a kid. It’s okay. It can just be dumb bullshit, which it is.
Every ounce of social capital this guy built, burnt on the pyre of Millennial Midwittery.
Helluva hill to die on.

Within 36hr of project initiation we’ve completely blown Rattlegram out of the water with a better waveform and enabled inherent cache clearing with automated SALUTE reporting and standard ICS forms. Fifth interface layer will be added to tomorrow’s build.
