The Slackers.

Richard Kind is the best our species has to offer.

I think the show is hedging their bets with “B” stories with an eye towards multiple seasons. I have mixed feelings about that. “Broadchurch” had a great first season that wrapped everything up but returned for a second season that kind of unraveled a lot of the previous season.

...I have noticed a few people who will get real close and intimate with their body language yet their eyes are looking off into space like a bad actor imitating a blind person.

That’s something a bit more awkward to deal with then someone who is a bit shy or distracted. Talking to someone with an off-center gaze, I always feel just as self-conscious trying to make eye contact without making it weird.

As a web browser, the Kindle is a pretty bad experience. But to me, that’s an advantage if you really want to read books.

A few years before the Epstein thing blew up, I saw Chris Tucker do a brief set at the Comedy Store in L.A. The bulk of his short set was about flying around with his “friend” on a private jet. Yikes!

I’ve seen some of these studies. The benefits of print are pretty small. But I feel the same way about programming manuals. I tend to gravitate towards dead-tree media to navigate learning that kind of thing. It is really counter-intuitive.

Please don’t make me defend Danzig. But you extracted 100 words from a flippant interview with a goofy rock star about his cheesy horror movie and turned it into a polemic that fits neatly into your extraordinarily simplistic world view. Some people deserve to be “cancelled” for their actions, bu not for questioning…

I’m done playing the hide-the-cable game. I have fully embraced strings of a/v cables as an aesthetic. I bought a bag of cable clips and use them to secure the strings of wire to the wall for all to see. My living room wall looks like the interior of the International Space Station. I also wall mounted my Alexa and a…

It seems to me that a lot of people who love to tell you about print being superior don’t read all that much. I have a couple thousand e-books and they take up so little bandwidth that I have more than one back-up (locally and cloud-based.) Text on a Kindle or iPad is just easier for me. The mechanics of a book and my…

I’m not defending the morons involved, but a quick glance at that official U-Haul schematic made me think the truck was 7' 2".

Yeah, the wiping-out-oily pan thing is something that calls for a paper towel. Food prep - chicken guts, oily stuff etc. - paper towels can’t be replaced by a sponge or towel.

I don’t reuse them exactly, but unless the paper towel is gunked up with something foul, I will leave them on the counter and use them again beofre tossing them. I know paper towels are a bit of a natural resource hog but sometimes they are more efficient than a cloth towel or sponge that need to be cleaned.

That’s not a bad idea. Let’s be real here: it’s asking a lot of an actor to be in a close-up shot and they’re not allowed to emote even a smidge of “oh darn!” disappointment when they lose. (OK, maybe that’s actually the best part.)

I managed to visit Disneyland on a business trip all by my lonesome self and it was pretty awesome. Fun fact: if you are by yourself, most attractions let you jump ahead of the line. It’s not as cool as being a polio-stricken kid on a Make-A-Wish foundation outing, but it’s pretty close!

I’m not surprised the hippies at the AVClub have a problem with Musk.

Long before the AVclub told me so, I knew the virus was real and to ignore any medical/political advice from Ted Nugent and/or QAnon. Despite this, I still immensely enjoy “Wang Dang Sweet Poon Tang.”

Yeah, the notion that the “underground railway” consisted of actual tunnels is a bit of a silly myth (according to my high school history teacher anyway).
