I really don’t understand how someone could be a college/university president for 40 years and still be useful. The college that I work for, which is one of the top undergrads in the country, has only been around for something like 60 and we’ve had something along the line of 8 presidents. Each brought their own way…

One of the biggest things that worked for me as far as diet was just to stop eating out as much. It saves a ton of money, I feel better, and I eat less. Eventually this became a thing where I don’t like buying “boxed” meal types of things. One day of the weekend my wife and I will do some meal prepping for lunches and…

Pretty sure the drama helped bury this tour. If the stuff with D’arcy didn’t come out I am sure they would have done a little better to sell tickets. That coming out just reminded people that Billy is a D-bag, and they’ve sucked for more years than they’ve been good. Really not sure why they thought doing an arena…

Those f’ing Riddler trophies. Ugh. While some of them are interesting puzzles, there are too many of them that are just randomly placed on ledges and whatnot. I got them, and the end result of that was good, but it was just a pain in the rear.

It would have been interesting to see what these people’s gut bacteria was like at all of the stages of the study, since that is a pretty big thing right now. Perhaps the people that lost a ton of weight had healthy bacteria levels while those that gained weight didn’t. It could also be the reverse of that. There…

Surprised that I haven’t seen people mention how Killmonger’s plan is just an oversized version of his father’s heist plan. Given his motivation, how shallow the plan is makes complete sense.

Really seemed like he was into having her join up at the beginning, and then by the end he was talking himself out of it.

As someone who works in education, this is amazing. I’d love to see more of this happen.

I wondered about the reskinned thing after seeing some of the play through from E3 ‘17. Sad. I enjoyed I Am Setsuna, but had a lot of issues with the story. I hoped that with its success that the follow would be better. I am sure that I’ll still buy it, but like Setsuna, I will wait for a good sale.

I’ve been leaving a stick of butter out on the counter for the last couple of years (not the same stick). I keep it in a 1 cup Pyrex bowl that I keep closed if not actively using it. The only time I see spoilage happen is if someone isn’t good about cleaning the knife after using it (bread crumbs and such ending up in…

When I quit two years ago that was very much how I did things. For me the biggest hurdle was always that first one of the day, usually right when I got out of bed. As soon as I pushed that one off it became a lot easier to go a little longer without one, then a little longer. One day I forgot my patch. Normally I…

Just got one for Christmas since our slow cooker died. So for I’ve only made some potatoes (used for making potato salad) which went really well. They came out a little over done, but hey, it took 10 min. and it was the first thing I’ve ever done in it. The second thing was some Turkey stock. That took something like…

Once upon a time when I was trying to quit smoking I tried switching to lollipops. I bought a huge bag of them, assuming that it was mostly the oral fixation and habitual action that kept me smoking. Didn’t work. I tried a lot of things to get me to quit over the years, but it wasn’t until I started running that…

Thanks for this. My wife and I started the process in Jan. and were approved/licensed in Aug. It has been a long and often frustrating process (our county literally redid the entire process right when we started), but it was helpful to remember why we are doing this, what the social workers are dealing with, and that…

This is how it is for my wife and I, though admittedly more on my part. We both grew up in religious households where Christmas was a part of that. For her it was about going to Midnight Mass and the like. For me it was just the normal non-Catholic Christian stuff. I loved Christmas though and as I entered adulthood…

Having had worked for good ole GC once upon at time, I have to agree. He just needed to break into a story about being a roadie or guitar tech for some obscure jam band back in his 20's, and how they asked him to go back out on their reunion tour, which will never actually happen.

Most Expensive Piece of Equipment: Also my Kitchenaid Stand Mixer, but I don’t get much use out of it nowadays, other than the attachments. I do most of my bread making by hand now, so it only gets used once in awhile for a dessert item. Second most expensive is my KoMo Grain Mill. Use that thing at least once a week…

Its been a weird few months with D2. I played D1 a lot, but never played the Raids because I tend to be antisocial when it comes to gaming. With D2 a buddy had me join his clan and I have been able to set aside time to do most of it once. It was fun, but I didn’t really see it as something I was missing out on. I had…

I was able to contain myself pretty well this year. My only real splurge was on the $170 Ecovac Deebot M80. I kept telling myself that it was a gift for my wife, but really it was for me/us. I was tempted to buy one of the smaller 4k tv’s for our bedroom, but just couldn’t con myself into it.... yet. Instead of the…

I didn’t see the usual “Made with Unity” logo when the game loaded, but they could have paid for the “pro” version which gets rid of that. Given the multi-platform releases though, I wouldn’t be surprised if it were made with it.
