A psychologist boning clients behind their spouse’s back isn’t usually in the most stable, healthy state to begin with.

I will not stand for NASA computers not getting the credit they deserved when faking the moon landing. NASA gained access to a large group of the most advanced neural networks every seen to calculate the complex trajectories and burns required to look like they went to the moon. Huge rooms of these computers…

In other words, every YA movie not based on Harry Potter, Twilight, or Hunger Games.

I have a feeling this will be more the next Percy Jackson and less the next Harry Potter... 

I live in the Bay Area and know several people that work at Instacart and similar gig economy/ tech company HQs. These people make INSANE salaries. Middle management well over 6 figures. Their holiday parties are LUXURIOUS. Their stock offerings are NUTS.

“The tiger and the lion may be more powerful, but the wolf doesn’t perform in the circus.”

Every time this incident came up in the five years after, he swore that he simply followed the directions that I gave him to cook a steak on the stove top (medium high heat, a little oil, how many minutes per side for a sirloin, etc).

I have absolutely no idea. He wanted to make a steak but had only cooked one on a grill, so I told him how to cook a steak in a pan—a little oil, medium high heat, sear, how many minutes for the type of steak yada yada yada.

Honorable mention to my late husband, who did this to one of my pans while I was at work one day:

Disclaimer: this was when I was about 8, but I started cooking fairly independently around 3 or 4 and have enjoyed cooking my entire life. This is also the disaster that is still brought up regularly almost 35 years later.

I think the subtext is that Natasha loves the Avengers as her family, and is sacrificing herself for them. She is doing the opposite of what Thanos did, which was a selfish act.

Season 7 was where the fast travel was stupid.

I would be happy to contribute — even if my contribution was made necessary by governmental callousness and ineptitude! — if it weren’t for the fact that the general consensus on homemade masks seems to be “we don’t think they actually accomplish much, we don’t have a lot of real scientific data to go on, and they…

Within the area of the blaze, radiation levels reached 2.3 microsieverts per hour (μSv/h), according to Firsov.

That’s a very good call on Miguel! Truly an unsung hero of this series.

Well, I don’t think Miguel is overbearing, so Rebecca dodged that bullet with her second marriage.

I dig a lot of the ascetics going on. The visual ties to music (like the escalator looking like a guitar neck) and the angles seem to be a major throw back to the 1950s/60s art of the cartoon shorts aimed at adults.

Looks promising. I dig the design of the, uhm, “angels” or whatever they are supposed to be. Remind me of La Linea.

In 1939, the Army Air Corps had a total inventory of 1,700 planes.

Between Coco, Onward, and (I’m guessing) Soul...Pixar has slowly turned into a pretty good studio when it comes to wanting to introduce kids to challenging concepts like loss and grief.
