Chibnall is a complete fucking disaster (and agree with everything you said about the cast generally being good). 90% of his episodes have just been boring. For a show about a traveler, it barely feels like the Doctor goes anywhere anymore.

I’ve taken a couple sips of the Kool-Aid, but never guzzled the whole pitcher. I’ve got magneplanar speakers that are bi-amped, a turntable and cartridge that are in the (very low, just skirting across the finish line) 4 figure range, and some other fun toys. I do enjoy them, but two things have consistently prevented…

Season 2 had problems (too much Kreese; and yeah, Cobra Kai becoming too bully-ish)...but it had a lot of high points too:

I’d like to think you’re right, but I gravely fear that you’re not. Dude still got over 70 million votes, and he’s insanely popular among much of his base. I think he’ll continue to wield a great deal of power both culturally and politically. Be it through twitter, (for profit) rallies, and God help us if he buys into…

I really like the garlic olive oil recipes. Basically, boil some Yukon golds; lightly brown minced garlic in EVOO; mash up the potatoes, olive oil, and garlic; reserve some of that starchy boiled water and add to make it creamy. Salt and pepper to taste. Total delicious garlic bomb.

I don’t disagree. I actually don’t shop at Wal-Mart all that often, but I do use it occasionally. Their Onn line of consumer electronics has a ton of shit that’s really cheap and way better constructed than you would ever expect for the price.

I love Costco, but you do have to be careful and shop smart (shop S-Mart for you evil dead fans).

It’s a shame for you that the electric Hummer is being priced well into the luxury range (starting price in low $100k range...but I’m sure it will get bumped up to $150k with options). I think that’s about double the cost of the cybertruck.

If we let AMC fail, then it will likely go into bankruptcy including all their assets; and it will all get snapped up by some other wealthy financier for fifty cents on the dollar who will establish a similarly shitty movie chain.

These do sound delicious. If my mom has any leftover latkes, I may “borrow” some and give it a try. I’d like to pair this with the noodle kugel egg rolls that Allison Robicelli devised last year. I made them in 2019 and they came out really good.

Fellow bad jew here. Last night we went to my mom’s for an outside social distance first night of Chanukah (thank you god/global warming for an incredibly mild Chicago December evening).

I know this is four years old... But what about Starship Troopers?  That's another classic from him, and I would have hated to have been deprived of it 

Where I live (Chicago) many of the scrappers are undocumented members of the latinx community. When they can get hourly jobs under the table, it’s almost always minimum wage ($14 per hour). So an eight hour shift will net them about $100 after taxes. They can beat that scrapping; plus our alleys, especially in nicer…

Courtney Henggeler really is the show’s secret weapon. She really could of just been your stereotypical-harpie-Real Housewives-of-Cobra-Kai.

Yep. They both suck, and any scene that’s Robbie and Sam together just amplifies the sucktitude. Bad actors, stupid hair (at least Robbie), motivations that don’t make any sense. Just write them out of the show already.

Back in high school (early 90's) my buddy’s parents had one of these two door land yachts. Great car, and I always remember our swim team coach loving it. He was a paraplegic, and we used to give him rides home after practice occasionally. He always said those long doors were the best for folks in chairs. Lots of room…

Yes. And let’s also not forget about all the pups lost to overheating as well.

Since we were doing a severely downsized Thanksgiving (like pretty much everyone else... Hopefully), we just did a 6 lb turkey breast, and I don’t ever want to go back (and even 6lbs was too big for us; but that was the smallest one my butcher had).

Question for the biochemists (and not just the armchair variety). Is it really necessary to even clean the potatoes, regardless of their state? I boil mine anywhere from 11 to 15 minutes. I’ve always heard that 8 minutes in boiling water will kill just about any bacteria we need to be concerned about.  Seems like that…

No desire anymore. They’ve gotten too corporate. It used to be about gorging without abandon.
