I use iTunes every day for music and podcasts.

First? My wife’s been using this  https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F9MH6N5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 for a while now. Tracks well with our “real” BP monitor, and costs less than $30. 

Or maybe bypass all of them and use the tried and true stovetop models. They’re simple, safe (release live steam? Really? That’s nuts. just put the stovetop unit under cold running water for about 15 seconds, and the pressure goes away), sear exceptionally well, and are cheap - you can get a really nice stainless…

Fastback. Ugh. Ugly then, and ugly now. Give the the original pony car.

Yeah, none of those are hot sauces.

We’re a Mac environment, and I just moved a new employee who had been a life-long Windows user over to Mac, and he’s been very impressed with the ease of use. So much so that he says he’s “not going back ever”to windows.

My 1st thought was Johnny Mnemonic. Surprised it’s not here.

Isn’t it “tryst”, not “trist”?

A couple of years ago I heard an interview with an U.S. Olympic team member (who happened to be female) about the apparently large amount of sex the athletes had, as evidenced by the number of condoms used. She stated that not only did she not boink anyone, she didn’t know anyone who did but “if someone put out a…

I actually use iTunes mostly for listening to podcasts - what are the best non-iTunes podcast programs?

Pity that Tolkein didn’t write a prequel himself. He could have called it The Silmarilion.

Locally I can get a Butterball for 99¢/lb, no coupon. With specials deals on “no name” turkeys as low as 38¢/b. $1.99/lb seems like a hell of a premium for the privilege of shopping at Whole Paycheck. 

Since the sign is basically the the international radiation symbol (also known as the trefoil which first appeared in 1946 at the University of California, Berkeley Radiation Laboratory) with the words “fallout shelter” beneath it, this guy didn’t invent dick.

Unless, of course, your documents are in any way sensitive, proprietary, or you simply don’t want them on a server that you don’t manage or have even the slightest iota of control over.

Thanks, but no thanks. I’ll keep my docs where I’m the one who controls access.

Literally every woman I know who’s been unfortunate enough to have to consider abortion were all extremely unhappy to need to exercise that option. What they were NOT was jonesing to kill something - even if it was only a barely differentiated mass of cells. I don’t doubt for a moment that if given the option between…

Okay, first no lab on the planet works like that. The whole lab setup reeks of someone who couldn’t be bothered to do a simple google search. Not only do employees never take off their level A suits (as an aside, I don’t know wtf those suits were) for all intents and purposes they *can’t*. And no bio lab vents…

This episode was basically a re-write of “Silence in the Library”/”Forest of the Dead” with software substituting for the Vashta Nerada in animating the scary space suits.

Yeah, I’m not buying it. Once you’ve been chewed up, reconstitution to the original living (!) person is just not gonna happen. If they’d come back they’d have come back as masticated lumps of flesh. A sappy, pat ending to an otherwise decent (if somewhat “meh”) episode.

This season has been Capaldi’s best - Bill really re-invigorates the series - but this episode was borderline meh. The happy ending was way too pat.

Ivanka has probably figured out having her clothing line associated with her asshole father and his despised administration is bad for business.
