My brother’s wife decided that Idaho was ‘more our kind of people’ when they moved away from Denver ~4 years ago. Boise is *almost* a nice place to spend time now - I’ve almost bought a condo out there just to have a place for us/my parents to stay when we visit. Place is super interesting, very proto-hipster, and…

Small towns can be amazing, when you have money. Of course, if you have money, you *probably* didn’t make it while living in a small town...

I *love* when they buy a house and then spend 70% of the purchase price on upgrades and renovations.

Double-bonus points when it’s some Tech Valley couple who want to ‘move out to the country.’

Hey now, I enjoyed the stubborn sub-conscious tick that I was just watching a really high-concept Lincoln commercial for parts of it. ;)

This has been out on the scene for a few days now, and I watched it because my other hope of Mindless Action (Amazon’s Without Remorse) was a stinker. B- for what may very well be among Ritchie’s (and for sure Statham’s) worst work? That’s pretty generous.

I enjoy stupid action movies - Crank is *great* - but for some…

Woodland Park is basically a bedroom community outside Colorado Springs - you can only imagine how utterly fucked up the Boys in Blue are down there.

If all it takes to justify someone’s life decisions is the net result of seeing some stupid fucking rockets take off into space, I’d love to make a drink and hear you excuse Wernher von Braun’s original backers.

Musk’s ‘value’ has been his ability to direct ridiculous amounts of capital towards projects with virtually…

JFC the Musk-apologists came out in *force.*

If 1/10th of that energy could be directed to something constructive instead of stanning for a pasty, borderline sociopathic billionaire, imagine how better the world could be.

Business and wealthy class is scared that this will be used to take their wealth etc.

If you want to earn Chinese money, you have to become a Chinese dog

- Physical durability: I’m on my 3rd Kindle, ever. I don’t dog-ear pages, I don’t break spines, I don’t really have to worry all that much about water damage, and if I decided to thrown the device into the ocean while on vacation, I could quite easily use my phone, laptop, or find a vending machine at the airport that…

I used to buy multiple dead tree husks a month, and 99.98% of them were only read once and then shelved, only to be carried around half a dozen times over the next decade as I moved.

If it doesn’t have pictures or isn’t a coffee-table-worthy binding, gimme that epub. I read more, I have less clutter, and I don’t have…

Bookshelves have become the official unofficial backdrop for Zoom presentations.

Given how easy it is to trawl old ads and cookbooks for horrifying stuff, it’s weird to see passable potluck fair like Watergate salad or the ol’ reliable Souper Sandwich get the same panning they are giving to mayo-based jello molds.

Also wrapping your meatloaf in browned mashed potatoes is *DELICIOUS*. They can fuck…

Just a return to those good old-fashioned Republican Family Values:

He’s moderately wealthy and white, any woman should be proud to take on his seed.

If she was actively deceiving them about her age, (and presumably other people on the website they were allegedly using, (Seeking, I believe?)) it seems questionable to describe their behavior as “predatory”

“There was no further contact with this individual until after her 18th birthday.”

foods and flavors that are influenced by ancient beliefs like the Ayurvedic practice

If there was any justice in the world, the switch to significantly less dangerous electric powertrains would enable boutique carmakers to more feasibly offer their products in the US.

But we live in Bizarro-land, where Uncle Sam is totes fine with you schlepping a 50 year old Pinto with bad brakes down the highway, but…

People whine about Building codes in the US, but this is what happens when you don’t have real Code.
