We had a 13 hour layover in Nagoya’s Chubu airport and it was a nice experience. We took the train into downtown and checked out some of the covered shopping streets for a few hours, but the rest of the time in the airport passed quickly. The top floor is organized like a Japanese village so it was fun to walk through…

This is one mod away from being Lego Death Race 2000.

In case you were wondering with Nora from Queens episode they directed, it was the incredible “Grandma & Chill”, which featured Stephanie Hsu and Harry Shum Jr from EEAAO. Also Simu Liu!

Important fact to know: opioids cause constipation! If you are going to udergo surgery and you expect to be prescribed opioids for the pain, be prepared for the constipation, especially if your surgery is digestive-system related. You don’t want that pain on top of everything else. I speak from recent experience.

This is the way.

Those Mandalorians really cleaned up that dead monster quickly. They even scrubbed the beach and rocks because there weren’t any blood stains or scorch marks.

paint.net — Great image editing software that is still going strong after all these years. Remember that old pirated version of Adone Photoshop you used all those years ago? It’s like that.

C’etait un Rendezvous by Claude Lelouch. It’s a classic! How has no one posted this yet?

Starred on principle.

Local here. Here’s a practical translation of Reeb’s statement:

Somebody at Vanity Fair forgot to make their standing platform resistant to high heels. You could probably order the pictures in time based on the cumulative damage that thing exhibited.

You put out a serious “I’m the main character” vibe. It’s cringeworthy.

Replace “trailer park” with “farm” and you have described the history of millions of families in the 20th century, including mine.

I love this show, but I’m going to complain about one thing: Din talking to Grogu is being used too heavily for narration. Daddy-son dialogue is fine, but don’t use it to explain to the audience what’s happening in the story all the time.

The big question is will the old episodes be upscaled for HD resolution. During their last Turkey Day marathon on Youtube they showed upscaled versions of several old episodes (including Catalina Caper and City Limits, two of my favorites).

At last, someone has created animation that makes me think my glasses need cleaning every 30 seconds.

Don’t try to race everyone at a stop light. The car next to you might be an unmarked cop car.

I’m so happy for EEAAO. Usually I’ll see these prestige movies, say “Yeah, that was good, I can see why people like it”, and barely think of them again. This is the first multi-award-winning movie that I keep watching over and over again. It’s wonderful.

I’ve never thought about it before, but how would one go about stealing a manhole cover? This is unrelated to the story, of course.

Use #18: Tennis balls make good ammo for a small trebuchet. My son and I made a trebuchet with a swing arm about 3.5 feet long, and we could launch them about 90 to 100 feet. Heavier or lighter ammo didn’t go as far as the tennis balls.
