Nope. My problem is that I have an SD card with tons of free space and my phone keeps complaining that it can't update stuff because there's no free space because for some reason it can't use the SD card for installing apps. :argh:

Johnny Walker posted:

This is a little off-topic, but I am reminded of how much of a ripoff TV shows on VHS were, not to mention what a waste of space it was. They put literally one episode per tape most of the time. To have a whole series you'd have to have a dedicated shelf just for that one, and probably pay ~$20 per, and for any longer-running series it was completely impractical.
It didn't end with VHS either.



I also have one here that's ten random episodes of Voltron. Sure, it's better than one episode, but it's hardly ideal.

I could cut it off below the word balloon if you like, but redrawing the obscured foot is beyond me.

To be fair, I assume that's a full storyline with four episodes. The complete Tales from the Darkside I'm watching right now has eight per disc, but the quality is also just a bit better than VHS (I'm finding it rather charming though). The 10 random episodes thing is annoying though.

It is, but that's out of a 26-episode season, and if you bought all of classic Doctor Who that way it's 155 DVDs (as opposed to 26 if it was one per season). It's fine, I suppose, if you're just buying a few of your favourite stories, but it's ridiculous if you want a complete collection.

True, but unless something radically changes you're never going to get a complete collection, so I guess that colours my perception of trying to get all of Doctor Who.

Releasing it one per story makes perfect sense to me because normal people can just get the ones they like while collectors are insane and if they're gonna drop so much dough on having a complete collection anyway they may as well be milked for a bit more.

I'd almost argue it's good writing (or at least better) as, initially, bootleg Quagmire's terrible personality traits were all presented as positive and Skip had absolutely no qualms with him. Really this whole arc is kind of fascinating to watch unfold as, previously, they treated his living with his mother as bordering on something to be desired. It's like someone finally pointed out to Reddick how bonkers that portrayal was.

Oh god, it's me, I'm the Intelligent Life reader.

This was apparently quite true to life- most communes were one charismatic hippie guy letting the women do all the housework for him, and the women's lib movement grew out of women involved in other liberation movements who were sick of always being the ones who had to make the coffee.

At least 155 DVDs would still take up way less space than an equal or greater number of videocassettes.
