Tom Cruise in Interview with the Vampire, though Collateral runs a close second.

Cruise is an amazing villain, but he always wants to play the (young!) hero and it really only works in the Mission Impossible films. Plus, you know, he's loving insane.

He's also extremely good in Tropic Thunder.

I'm too scared to go to a tech subforum for this:

For years, I used Google Voice as my texting app because I could open a browser window to it and there my texts would be. They discontinued Voice and switched to Hangouts. As of today, I can no longer do SMS messaging from Hangouts.

Android messages doesn't have a browser interface I can open on my computer. Anybody have a successor to Voice and Hangouts they know about?

I use the built in Messages app on my Pixel and it has a web interface. I think you have to enable it and/or link your browser, I've rarely used that function to date.

I feel like people are divided on how they’re answering the question - the spirit of the question seems to be “which actor do you normally dislike the performances of except for one specific performance” which is how most have answered but some are definitely answering with “which actor do you dislike on a personal/legal level” (e.g. Kevin Spacey)

which is interesting because I feel like that line of answers would just become one-upsmanship of the worst people until settling on like “Robert Wagner is funny in Austin Powers and also murdered his wife”

It does, but you need to use your phone to unlock it on a computer-by-computer basis, which defeats half the purpose, as if you need to get your texts from your phone without your phone, you need your phone to do it.

One time I bought a floppy drive whose drivers came on a floppy disk, for use in said drive. Which won't work without said disk. This kinda' reminds me of that!

I use the Your Phone app for Win 10. If you pair your Android to it via Bluetooth you can send and receive texts from it along with picture attachments. Now I don't know of one that works without your phone in the vicinity though.

My sister's pretty much a bitch.


"Did you take Tracker to the vet for that eye infection?"

"That gunk? It's cleared up."

"Well my vet said it won't clear up without antibiotics, so I'm not going to bring my dogs over if you're just going to handle this au natural."

This is the same sister who implied that I was all but abusing Bella because I fed her Pedigree.

It's such stupid petty little nonsense, but it gets under my skin.

if pedigree still uses BHA as a preservative, it actually is quite bad since its cumulative effects are not well-known and there are many cases of it causing tumors in lab animals. But i am sorry about your sister, who is clearly still something of a 2008 Pet Islander. what i really wanted to say on here was that kevin spacey is such a hammy actor that he actively worsens anything that was an otherwise good project. he has made some bad/kitschy stuff better however. Thank you all for putting up with this controversial post that was never asked for or desired.

I heard it was real good for playing D&D online with people.

People running, like, little leagues liked it, too, apparently.

I never found a use, myself, but there was clearly value there, but they couldn't put in ads or get out ad data, so of course they 86ed it.

I think I'll pass if for no better reason than my comp probably isn't up to spec at this point and I don't want to get PS Plus just to enable the online features of one game.

I'm just not feeling pulled towards Death Stranding right now. I'll probably pick it up when it's on sale. I know it will feel amazing if it's anything like MGS5 but I don't know how much I want to play Fed Ex Sim in Ghost Town right now.

To my limited understanding of the game that is a big 'no'.

But Death Stranding aside...
Looking to kill some time between now and Pokemon. I have DLed both Warframe and Destiny 2. Any opinions on which one is better?
