Wow, an article on the USPS’ woes that utterly fails to mention the 2006 Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act — aka the “kill the Post Office” law — that mandated that they pre-fund 75 years’ worth of retiree benefits. Way to do your research. Idiot. The year before, they had *lowered* their rates because they…

I eat a lot more vegetables thanks to the wonder of steam-in-the-bag technology, both plain and full side dishes. They’re pretty dang good these days. It sucks when a variety you liked gets discontinued, though. I still miss Green Giant’s roasted red potatoes, green beans, and rosemary butter sauce. That was good with…

I was expecting this to be about actual meals, not snacks and junk food. Like, Stouffer’s lasagna or Marie Callender’s pot pies...

Doesn’t using the convection setting throw off the temp?

I was taught to start mine in a cold oven to assist with the fat rendering.

I enjoyed Deep Rising, dang it. It knew exactly what it was and ran with it.

Good grief. Censoring an innocuous butt in a PG rated movie? What’s next, removing the constant drug & alcohol use, implied bestiality, and blow job joke in the similarly PG Airplane? Or the full frontal nudity in the PG Dragonslayer?

He’s desperate to get people out and about again because his hotels aren’t taking in any money and the bills are coming due. Due to his many, many, maaaany bankruptcies and business failures, Deutsche Bank would only give him loans if he personally guaranteed them. Meaning that if he fails to pay up, the bank can seize…

How can this possibly be accurate if we’re not testing? Not to mention the hundreds dying in NYC each day that are likely due to the virus that aren’t included in the death tally. Hell, here in Illinois, you can’t get tested unless you’re symptomatic, which means that you’ve been walking around with it for up to 14…

3. A culture that’s been conditioned to reject the idea of facts - everything is opinion. A sizeable chunk of the population still thinks it’s all a conspiracy.

I wonder what his selection criteria were, because “availability of cels” seems to be the biggie at first glance. I’m not seeing any Wings of Honneamise in there, which is a bigger creative exercise than simply faithfully recreating Tokyo as in the Patlabor films or designing deliberately generic Japanese architecture…

Gee, that sounds an awful lot like what they did with mortgage-backed securities ten years ago. Take a thousand subprime mortgages that by themselves no one would touch, and bundle them with one or two legit mortgages and claim that the whole thing is AAA grade.

But there’s an inspector general whose job is to prevent just that— Oh, wait. Trump fired him yesterday. Trump, who has a loooong history of dipping his hand in the cookie jar. (But don’t call it embezzlement. When the rich and pretend-rich do it, it’s called “self-dealing”.)

If their business model only works with tax dodges and labor exploitation (not to mention being massive polluters), then maaaaaaybe they shouldn’t be in business.

You just know he got the idea from one of the talking heads on Fox News. Carlson or Hannity must have ranted against them earlier in the morning during his “Executive Time.”

Get an Nvidia Shield. Plays all the things, works with all the streaming services (except for Apple, but that’s hardly surprising), and is a powerful retro gaming device.

Aaaaand the NYT is reporting that Capt. Crozier has tested positive for covid-19.

Are we still not sure that it wasn’t actually directed by TOBE Hooper? It makes more sense as a horror movie. Plus, Tobe Hooper is dead.

Information that’s not in the movie itself. How... fitting.

They follow the manual perfectly. Unfortunately, it’s the book 1984. There’s a new relevant quote every day.
