So the thing about the eclipse is that the reduced light tricks your irises to open up as if it was dark. This means when you look at the eclipse, the sunlight is still bright enough to burn your retinas in a way they would not have been burned during a normal sunny day. It’s like looking at the sun after having your…

That's exactly my interpretation.

Typically, the word “not” appears somewhere in such sentences.

I don't know, I think that just made it funnier for me, but that is just me. My wife was confused as to why I was laughing so hard at that, and frankly, I have a hard time explaining that?

That cake-cutting made me absolutely lose it. Meanwhile, we never found out what that blueprint that was literally kicking Ben's ass was. I kept wondering if this somehow involved the sinister machinations of Reagan and the Tigerclaw boys.

He's actually from Lake Stevens, which is northwestern Washington. That said, Western Washington's reputation for liberalism is due almost entirely to King County and Olympia.

The secret mystery movie was a blast. I sincerely hope they put out a version available for viewers at home, because it was just that good, and it really belongs in the MST3K canon.

I caught the Super Secret Live Show on Saturday night, and I can state with a fair amount of authority that it absolutely lives up to the legacy. It's got its own unique voice, certainly (and alternate voices for Crow and Servo), but the riffs work, and it's absolutely in keeping with the ongoing sensibility. If you…

Let’s also not forget that if Dier left, it would be harder to hold on to Dele Alli. Those two have one of the best bromances in the Premier League.

Meteor vs. Lighting Rig: No matter who wins, we all win.

Our team (Seattle Sounders FC) always seems to find a way to score a goal while my buddy is in the toilet, so whenever we are in dire need of a goal, the rest of our group start giving him pointed looks suggesting that maybe, just maybe, that chili dog needs to be let out, or perhaps he had too much beer and needs to…

Depends on your company’s style guide and medium. I once wrote for a company that insisted on putting everything in Trebuchet (or “Trench-bucket,” as one of our more delightfully grumpy engineers called it).

I used to sign my emails with

I had a colleague who used to parody the stock “Please consider the environment before printing this email” by signing his messages “Please consider listening to Van Halen before listening to Coldplay.”

Yeah, it was absolutely heart-breaking.

I mean, my head-canon was always that Sherlock was a metaphor for cat ownership. Sherlock is Watson's cat.

It's also worth noting that both the VR tech from Keenan and the hacked Hooli app from Pied Piper were cobbled together at the last minute, without much in the way of QA. Keenan's VR tech, in particular, could conceivably have been a risk, even without Pied Piper's intervention. His whole schtick was that the tech…

Yeah, it's pretty clear that Richard has become so used to Jared's absolute loyalty that he's come to take it for granted. This episode was absolutely tragic in laying out what Jared has sacrificed, not just for Pied Piper, but for Richard personally. My suspicion is that the grand antagonist who will ultimately doom…

Yeah, I always got a distinct Ballmer-vibe from Action Jack from the very beginning.

Richard is the one who poops at parties, and people's know this.
