    Doesn't that leave them (temporarily) without a senator in the already razor thin margins?

    This is much closer to the only Sturgill album I've enjoyed (not into country), Sound & Fury, but that might just be that I prefer dark western and I listened/watched the movie/short film music video while on a particular strange and wonderful trip a few years ago. 10/10 experience, highly recommend.

    For a second there, I thought tyou might be saying that Aether & Iron was coming out in 20 hours, which is a decopunk DE-like that I've been overly excited about. But this looks interesting too.

    Ares is a great story in the tron universe, and it surprisingly added more lore and logic than even Legacy did. Was it visually as stunning? The story as mesmerizing? No. But, it did more to build the universe than Legacy. Ares is a Dillinger movie, not a Flynn movie.

    If you've only seen it once, make sure to watch it again as it is so much better on rewatch. There are so many easter eggs and callblacks that are literally blink and you miss it, so many details and CLU's to be had.

    Plus, the soundtrack is killer.

    How do you make this topic and not mention Tron: Legacy? By far the best example there could ever possibly be. Other than that? Blade Runner 2049 is still one of the greatest movies ever made in...

    Other than that? Blade Runner 2049 is still one of the greatest movies ever made in nearly every regard.

    This is why I just use GE as a default, I don't even have to debug and figure out the edge cases, since everything that works in GE will work in standard. One less thing to worry about.

    While I get why they are adding this, could they not have chosen a less confusing name? setHTML tells me that it will directly set HTML into the object, not filter it. setSafeHTML, setHTMLClean, or even better something like innerHTMLSafe would be far better and less confusing.

    Cosigned. I have been a linux gamer for a decade now, it has never been easier and everything just works. Just make sure you are using Proton-GE and you'll be running fine all the way through.

    I have tried every popular distro this year after finally leaving my self-install versions of Arch, and they've all worked. CachyOS with Snapper is great and performant (Arch based). Fedora Silverblue through Bazzite works great if you're not one to tinker (otherwise it's hell), and even NixOS or OpenSuse are pretty resilient on it.

    Has anyone tried any of the alternatives to Calibre Web? I have one setup and running and it's really hit or miss on any of the functions actually working. If it did work properly it would be wonderful since I have my server running and have tailscale enabled on my eBook Reader (Boox Go 7).
