That’s what I assumed was happening. Here’s the motivation for walking to my garage deep freeze, then. 

It works pretty darned well, so long as you have an always on computer to run it. I learned about it on Lifehacker:

Interesting. I bailed when it looked like I was rewatching the same show again. 

Freezing works great, but you just have to do it right:

Yes.

Yeah. I tried watching the first episode. It’s a half hour, but the second fifteen minutes is the exact animation from the first fifteen, but with different voice actors. I did not enjoy my time spent watching this show. 

Waze tried to make me drive across a collapsed bridge in Puerto Rico. I didn’t, because I saw the bridge was collapsed. That’s the entire story.

Well, got that one settled quickly. 

2nd Shift and the folks who run it are great. So is this beer. That is all.

People ask us why we harp on Bill Simmons a lot here and the answer is because he’s the most powerful, influential sportswriter in America. He is the only man who was given not one but TWO blank checks to open up a vanity shop, wherein he can collect writers to lend him the kind of prestige that his own work cannot.…

They CGI’d over shitty puppet in the Episode I Blu Rays. 

Fortel’s just closed the two most accessible locations to me and I have a sad.
