My county sent me a call notice just 1 month after I *served*. Their system is clearly terrible. I wrote on it that state law said I couldn’t be called again for a minimum of 1 year after serving, and sent it back.

I’ve been called several times in my life, and served twice. The first was “pretty fun,” a case in small claims court, and an interesting experience. The other was in 2020, a murder case, and something I hope never to have to experience again. Hearing and seeing autopsy reports and photos and crime scene photos is not…

Really looking forward to this. I wasn’t a Robbie Amell fan before, I guess since I had only seen him playing in essentially YA-type stories, and I’m getting old. He does a great job in Upload, though, in a more adult role. I was glad I gave S1 a shot, because it was one of the best new SF shows I’d seen in a long…

I’ll probably die at my job. Since there are mostly no more perqs like pension plans, many of us Gen Xers have to just keep working, put what we can into a retirement account, and hope for the best.

Well, now we know that it’s a Subaru Passing Lamp!

If I’m driving down a dark desert highway, there better be cool wind in my hair!

My first car was a ‘76 Pacer. I still have a soft spot for them, and kinda would love to have one powered by something like a turbo I4.

Our local Arby’s has had more trouble staying open than other restaurants, too, for some reason. A couple of days ago our Walmart started closing at 8 pm instead of 11 due to staffing shortages.

Well, it’s also about portion sizes and ratios, isn’t it? Clearly portion sizes in the U.S. are far too large, and for it’s size, the Popeye’s chicken breast itself is underseasoned. There may be visible herbs in the batter, but there’s not enough salt in the chicken. I’d prefer a smaller piece of chicken with the…

I’ll have to give the spicy a try. The nearest Popeye’s is 20+miles from me, so I don’t get there a lot.

Normal, but “spicy” and “seasoned” aren’t really the same thing. The chicken itself just needs more salt, IMO.

I have to say that I preferred the Crispy Colonel. “20% larger” isn’t something I was looking for, and I liked the seasoning of the CC better than the new sandwich. That said, the new sandwich is still very good, and one of my favorite chicken sandwiches. If you could combine the seasoning of the KFC sandwich with the…

If there is, I thought it was kind of the opposite: “At the table small men may do the greater deeds.” - J.R.R. Tolkien

Clove oil can work great for toothache. When my wife had her wisdom teeth out several years ago, the dentist actually recommended putting a wad of gauze soaked in clove oil on a troublesome socket, and she said it helped a lot.

Roku isn’t obscure in the U.S. It has the largest market share of streaming devices by a large margin, almost twice the next most popular platform.

I was happy to see that both my favorite movie (Back To The Future) and one the best movies I’ve seen (Do The Right Thing) are on the list. The other one on my best list is Apocalypse Now.
