I was never a big fan of “Lisa” episodes, and this one was no exception. Some good jokes, but meh...

I would expect it’s due to the lack of cognates and/or the same “root” language. However, I’ll agree; Mandarin (and other Chinese dialects) use “tones,” which are very different from English pronunciations and usage. Still in all, I’m very glad to have learned English as a native speaker; the spelling alone must be a…

Nah, I always use “password.” That’s safe, right? Right?? Starred for use of “President Skroob” .gif.

There is a security patch now available in the Mac App Store.

“I’m a mur-diddly-urderer!”

Trump really does live in an alternate reality of his own construction. Why is that not evidence of his complete unfitness to hold office??

The disposal goes well with my Commando 450. I like a “Silkwood shower” for that all-over clean feeling.

Here you go: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/26/reader-center/readers-accuse-us-of-normalizing-a-nazi-sympathizer-we-respond.html. Not the “ombudsman,” the national editor. What I took away from the original story is that the guy is an asshole bigot. No biggie, the country is full of them.

Discworld fan?

Stolen from elsewhere, but what about Robert Mueller?

I read this whole article and didn’t see word one about the influence Art Pope has had on state politics. He (and his bankroll) are the number one reason NC is in the horrible straits it finds itself. What can one man (Cooper) do against a supermajority in the legislature? Yes, he could have vetoed this bill and it…

I assume nothing with these people, but hold out hope that they will fail. They rammed it through the House this afternoon (on a party-line vote with 13 GOP defections!) but I don’t think it will be that easy in the Senate. I don’t trust Ron Johnson as far as I can pick him up and throw him, but we’ll see. It’s going…

Are you really Patton Oswalt?

They have their marching orders, to cut taxes for the .1%; nothing else matters. The ACA repeal was inserted to show the GOP can keep their promises; I agree, I think it will sink this piece of garbage legislation. I can live with that.

The yoga instructor was played by Alison Becker (IMdb) who also worked on Parks and Recreation. Great guest spot work last night, Will Sasso, Lauren Graham and Ron Funches. I’d give it at least a B+.

• Where the frig is Jasper?!

I loved this finale. All the pieces fell into place. Only one question: did Gamby actually see Russell in the food court? Walton Goggins for everything...”Boyd Crowder-R.I.P.”

I’m with you 100% on the waste, inefficiency and stupidity of the Keurig system. In addition to everything else, who knows how old the ground coffee in those pods is? (Ha, I saw the headline and thought this was going to be about Sean “Frat Boy” Hannity and his boycott.) I’ve been “boycotting” Keurig for years and…

Hard to say, but there is a slight flavor difference between paper and stainless steel. Not unpleasant, just a little bit different. Also, the steel mesh tends to allow liquid to pass through a bit more readily than the paper. I’ve started “tamping” the grounds down before adding water, it seems to help. (I just hit…

I second that nomination, and would also highly recommend the mesh filter. The paper filters are dirt cheap, but seem so wasteful to me. Also, the flavor is a bit different, but hardly a deal-breaker. AeroPress is my every day coffee maker.
