Agreed on all counts. I’ve never thought of my AeroGarderns as IoT devices and in fact never configured the wi-fi, which was always kind of a goofy stunt anyway: It’s got front panel controls.

Why tf is the OP’s comment to a reasonable question being downvoted so hard?

“Politicians hide themselves away; They only started the war. Why should they go out to fight? They leave that role to the poor”

Black Sabbath, “War Pigs”, 1970

I love docs about civil engineering, especially bridges and dams. Modern Marvels has a couple of good episodes on the subject, told/produced in that program’s typical format, including the Golden Gate Bridge and The Hoover Dam.

But my favorite is a 1997 episode of Nova called Super Bridge ( https://thetvdb.com/series/nova/episodes/1357201 ). The footage is great, the narration is great (I think its Hal Holbrook!), the storytelling is great, and it showed a great deal of stuff I didn’t know I would be fascinated by, while remaining down to earth.

Seconded for Pikmin Bloom. it really his am walking app as much as much as it is a game. I like Pokemon Go and Ingress too (from the same company), but this is the lightest weight, cutest, and most suited to being able to put it away during your walk if you want.

This is a great answer. They not only have a couple of goofy songs like Boris but also let their goofball personalities shine like on the album (The Who Sell Out?) that has the little ad jingles and the cover with Townsend using a giant deodorant stick and Daltrey in a bathtub full of baked beans.

Totally agree. PWHL Hockey is fantastic in that regard. So fast!

Quotation marks for a question is a beautiful way to say that!

Thank you, this clears it up really well!

This and their Dub Side of the Moon album are SO fine.

This is quality shit.

I’ve seen enough rank thuggery on the ice from Marchand that I consider him to be, well, a rank thug. That said, pleased to know he’s an ally, good on him.

(Still wish McAvoy had gotten the nod)

Archive.org gets crapped up this way, too. Repulsive people posting repulsive stuff, “troll” is too kind a word.
