I was going to nominate the guys that stole Canada’s national Maple Syrup reserve, but it turns out that 17 people were arrested so it was hardly a “perfect” crime.

One of the biggest issues in lots of Rom-Coms is how poorly the romantic rivals tend to work. You are either kinda rooting for the rival when they come off as the better choice or the protagonist dating them goes down in your estimation for liking them.

I once asked a Zen Buddhist Priest about the purpose of meditation & he compared it to a mental workout.
If I understood him correctly, the goal is to train yourself to control your own mind.
While meditating, do not think about anything, be aware of the moment, and just focus on your breathing and let your eyes see…

Yep, I’m out on cable forever.  When I do go to my Mother’s house for some reason and start watching a show on her Cable that I don’t normally have access too I pretty much instantly nope out after the 3rd commercial.

Macy’s and Bloomingdales both installed escalators before 1903, and there was an escalator in 1909 on Coney Island NY.
Even if he didn’t see any of the ones in NY, the big department stores in London (where he took Diana shopping in the first movie) mostly had installed escalators in the late 1890s.

What I find fascinating is that movies actually do more stuff practically than most people think. When an effect is amazing enough it is assumed to be CGI.

You already knew it was 2020.  Why did you have to make 2020 worse?

My Wife got deep into Elebits and The Blob.

I actually played way more GameCube titles than Wii titles on my Wii, having been out of consoles for a while at that point.  Tales of Symphonia was a lot of fun.

It always reads to me like those people who buy a new car and are incensed they still need to change the oil.

Yeah, I hear a lot of people talk about how renting is better because they can’t afford to maintain their houses.
Do you think the landlord is actually paying to maintain your apartment? Or do you think that they have figured the cost of maintaining it into your rent? When you buy a house you have to budget for…

In my opinion the investment angle doesn’t work if you only own your own house. The increase in value doesn’t matter because to realize it you have to sell the place you sleep at night.

This seems related to thing where they keep insisting various characters are Gay, just not in any way that matters to the story or is in fact mentioned on screen.  But trust them: Representation!

I feel like Superior Spider is one of those plot arcs that is better as an idea than it was as executed and will be really great grist for a movie or cartoon in the future.
Much like Civil war worked *way* better in the MCU than it did as a comic. They found actual character-based motivations for the players and had it…

Wait for the vaccine that is looking good to be distributed. Sometime in the Feb-March range.
Yeah, thats months off.  Human lives are worth it

I think the reveal was that almost half the Trill could host, not the tiny percentage they were claiming.  But that is just semantics.

Yeah, taking care of your infirm Mother is not a red flag.  Living in shrine to your long-dead parents really is.

I trust same day voting way more than I trust early voting or mail in. The fact that a Right-Leaning judge has knecapped mail in voting in my state (MN) and the Republicans are suing to throw out 100K+ early votes in Texas hasn’t done much to change my mind.

I for one was fine with the Mother being dead.
Mostly I thought it was really misguided to spend multiple episodes in earlier seasons exploring why the narrator and Robin aren’t a good match and then more episodes showing them getting over each other then in the finale blowing up her relationship & going “Robin &…
