💯 Eating well.

I’m looking forward to this. It’s not like there’s a shortage of other medical dramas if you’re looking for something original / different.

Scrubs had an extremely good 8 season run, and it offered a unique mix of oddball humor and empathetic feels other shows haven’t matched. The cast remains great and the producing team has made a run of hits. I’m happy for them to take a shot at a revival.

I wonder how much of that is from people playing games on their laptops though. Budget or mid-range laptops are much less likely to have a dedicated GPU (or in mid-range at least not a powerful one), or much RAM.

For people who buy laptop PCs and can only afford one computer purchase every X years, it won’t really matter if the Steam Box has better specs. If it’s not a laptop it’s not an option for them.

Thanks for commenting and not just downvoting.

Totally fair to say you don’t want Boston to just get crammed with corporate ads, but I don’t think you’re giving the post enough credit that it is talking a lot about public art. That doesn’t mean it can’t also acknowledges the reality that we don’t have a lot of truly public spaces in Boston, so the lower-hanging fruit for bringing more art into our city instead of just drab buildings and old revolutionary war statues is from private companies.

Art of things that are part of our culture, corporate-owned or not, outside their buildings is sometimes better than nothing. Would a lego sculpture outside their headquarters really be that bad? It’d certainly be better than the 60-foot LED Citgo sign sitting on top of our skyline.

You’re not going to find an app that doesn’t use analytics. It’s unreasonable to expect someone to build / run a service for users with no idea how it’s actually functioning for them. To any app using Google Analytics, you are only one of hundreds of thousands of anonymous data points; get over yourself or buy a burner phone if you’re that concerned about some upstream data broker knowing that ::gasp, shudder, horror:: you were on a dating app and ::shriek, cower, cry:: maybe targeting a romance-related ad to you.

If you can get past that, I’d suggest datefirefly.com - it’s independent and trying to rebuild the old OkCupid kind of experience before Match Group bought OkC and drove it into the ground.

Or if you’re in / near a city, try speed dating groups or see if there are matchmaking services with a good reputation.
