Just replicated the error on Chrome on a Mac. @k00b @ek.

Glad you read and enjoyed it, though I do think nothing replaces the original text. For starters, not getting the insight into the internal thoughts of the characters allows a lot more room for interpretation. It especially allows more interpretation over why MacBeth gave in and how much he resisted.

While there are people who revel at being evil (when you get to Titus Andronicus, you'll meet Aaron, and in Othello there's Iago), flawed heroes (and MacBeth certainly starts the play as one) tend to be more compelling, personally. Even Hamlet's Claudius, one of his more evil villains is shown to be capable of guilt.

As for MacDuff, it's because he really didn't think MacBeth was evil. Usurping the throne is one thing, killing rivals is another, but going after the family was considered out of bounds.

And yeah, the Witches are such an enigma. Were they simply revealing what was destined? If he'd never encountered them, would he have been tempted? Was their second prophecy meant to make him complacent?

Shakespeare doesn't always use the supernatural; it's just a useful tool depending on the story he wants to tell.

If you're a fan of fantasy, though, I do recommend Terry Pratchett's Wyrd Sisters, which starts with a comparable group of witches and a royal plot, but goes in very different directions.

He hardly thinks it's good today, just that AI's going to make it even worse.

I only sort of remember it when it was first came out, but it was in Donnie Darko, and like "Mad World," seems to have picked up steam since then. I definitely see the Bowie influence you're talking about.

I feel like song has more life in it now than it did when it came out. I seem to hear it everywhere and in all sorts of TV shows.

I think we all know that the dance RFK would perform is the worm.

Welcome!

Yeah, that Rancid album's amazing.

As with any genre or subgenre blowing up, I think it's a double-edged sword (see "Nevermind" just a few years earlier), but there's always enough new stuff bubbling up that I can ignore the copies-of-copies.

Welcome!

But Siggy, the banks are Too Big To Fail, so we have to give them every advantage possible!

(/s if if really needs saying)

I've found TBC a bit slower -- it took almost half an hour for my purchase with them this week to go through -- but otherwise, I prefer them for the reasons you state. That said, sometimes only Bitrefill actually has the cards I'm looking for.

Annual physical today. Meaning no breakfast until way later than I'd like.

Random aside -- when Francis Ford Coppola released "Bram Stoker's Dracula," the novel tie in was not actually "Dracula" as written by Bram Stoker. Instead, they had Fred Saberhagen novelize "Bram Stoker's Dracula." So I'm not sure that movie actually got people to the right book.

Yeah, Cobb was a mean SOB -- by all accounts one of the least likable to play the game.

As far as razors go, it feels like that or some variation (Joe Niekro with his famous emery board) comes up every few years.

God, my favorites change constantly, but Hamlet, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, Richard III, Antony and Cleopatra, Twelfth Night, and Much Ado About Nothing all strike me as good entry points.

But also, reading Shakespeare is great, but watching it is even better. If there are local performances, try to see some. Twelfth Night is one of the ones I think gets performed the most around here, and is a great first Shakespeare for a lot of folks. The Kenneth Branagh films of Henry V and Much Ado About Nothing are also a blast (and the contemporary Joss Whedon take on Much Ado is surprisingly fun, too).

Then start enjoying how the plays get interpreted and reinterpreted. There are modern takes, sci-fi ones (Forbidden Planet is a twist on The Tempest), etc. There's a fantastically funny tv show called Slings and Arrows about a theatre company in Canada, with the seasons devoted to productions of Hamlet, Macbeth, and Lear, that I just love (but it works best once you know the shows).

Welcome!

From a legal POV? Yes. Otherwise, you need the politicians to craft a law that distinguishes the two. Sure, you could have proof of work and decentralized inserted into the definition, but even there you won't eliminate all the coins out there. And the law could give a shit about being first or the network effect or any of that.

And whatever you think about shitcoins, if you're opposed to government interference and support free speech, that means in all cases, not just for things you like. Otherwise, those aren't principals, just word.
