Counterpoint: Since moving to Europe, like once a month I consider spending a truly insane amount of money to get Utz crab chips shipped here.

Oh, and I also underwent a root canal in 2012 to replace a bicuspid that had fractured.  That was replaced with a crown.  So far it hasn’t presented any issues with chewing.

Yes, I’m getting an implant. It takes a few months, though. Needless to say it ain’t cheap either!

counterpoint: I don’t really like tahini and the store bought stuff is fine when all you want is a “healthy” snack in the middle of crushing cheap beers and don’t want to scoop  hummus out of the nooks and crannies of a food processor.

I recently broke off an incisor at the gum line, and it forced me to modify what/how I eat.  I can understand where you’re coming from.

Any of those “You GOT This!!” ads just make me want to sit back harder and wonder who they are marketing to. I’m a professional chef and I walk and run easily 7-10 miles a day. I honestly never sit down the entire day, and honestly don’t get these ads or even their product.

Yes, it was ripe for this treatment. Can you imagine putting one of those mirrors in your bedroom? What if it glitched and came on in the middle of the night? I am not OK with the internet of things.

Don’t think about the mirror workout too hard? Huh? It’s a real thing I’ve seen advertised quite a bit. https://www.mirror.co/

Haven’t seen this week’s episode, but I’m kinda hoping Dick Van Dyke is the mystery guest, as Van Dyke is old enough to meet the “all my life” criteria...and we know he at least consulted on WandaVision. Not sure what role he would play in the larger scheme of things...but that’s the level of guest I’m expecting.

Ah. The age old rite of passage of murdering shellfish by your own hands. Seeing as you’re from the far flung foggy coasts of the Pacific I can understand why you may be seeking assistance with this.

That’s really interesting. My mom was definitely one of the earliest cases in the city. She thinks she might have caught it from one of two people she worked with: one who had a “cold” after traveling to southern France over the holidays and came to work anyway, and the other whose parent came to stay with them from…

This isn’t really new information. Pretty much all the meat substitutes use a lot of vegetable oils and salt to give them meaty flavor. The Simpsons made a joke about it 25 years ago.

This abomination shall not stand.

Absolutely and the tone of the show can go to “disturbing” very fast and it’s a credit to her acting!

The way Olsen mixes sitcom cadences with the repressed trauma that she played in Martha Marcy May Marlene is really amazing. She’d better get an Emmy nod next year.

I was floored by Bettany’s anger in this episode. 

At least half the fun of this series has been how good they are at the “comedy” bits.

You shouldn’t be able to slip between a Meredith Baxter Birney/Joanna Kerns vibe and a " superpowerful being you don't want to mess with" vibe this easily and yet somehow she's doing it. In a different way Bettany's sitcom dad facade slipping into outrage and confusion is also really well done. 

Oh yeah, her performance is consistently great. 

Every year there’s a chicken wing shortage at SuperBowl time and every year you can always find wings albeit at higher prices than normal.
