Another important point about swamp coolers: they need ventilation to work well. It seems counter intuitive, but having a window open a little bit improves a swamp cooler’s efficiency greatly. Having two windows open a little at opposite ends of the space you want to cool is even better.

Thank you for finding something on New Mexico that isn’t some aliens related bullcrap. New Mexico is generally a boring state, which is one of the main reasons I absolutely love it.

Fun fact: The actress who played one of the daughters later played the landlord in Kung Fu Hustle, decades later.

My God, Bloodsport is such a fun, cheesy movie! It is somehow stuck in the 80s and timeless simultaneously. I even love the tinny synth soundtrack.

When a movie is in theaters usually the best you can hope for is a really good HD cam recording, but a VOD copy is always light years better. I guess the next step is a Blu-ray rip, but I can’t tell the difference. Maybe there’s a difference at 4K.

You aren’t too far off! I ordered my Maverick over ten months ago, and it was just built. They say it’ll just be 30 more days until it arrives, but if I get it before October I’ll feel lucky. 

I am always impressed by the time and effort cosplayers put into making their costumes. It is not easy. 

I grew up in a “small town”, and I’ve seen this bullshit posturing. The fact is that young guys would give their left nut to make it to the city, and the older guys are bitter because they never escaped. You have to have pride in your small town way of life, because otherwise you can only see yourself as a fucking…

If you are a 71 year old man and you aren’t comfortable with your natural gray hair, you must be insanely insecure.

We used to play this in eighth grade computer class when the teacher was out of the classroom. I almost didn’t recognize it in color — we only had those green monochrome monitors.

The ending also apparently involves Nolan bringing “the hammer down in the most astonishing, shattering way.”

A spokesperson for Krapopolis explained to The A.V. Club that fans of the show can purchase unique digital art called “Krap Chickens”

Just came back from Thailand. 300 baht got us two good-size bowls of noodles and two drinks. And that was in the more touristy areas. It would probably buy you more off the beaten path.
